Ed's place was great, we didn't want to leave! The location was perfect, few minutes drive to water activities that you may be into (diving/snorkeling). Walking distance to grocery store and coffee shop. Really appreciated the nice touches such as having kitchen stocked everything you'd need to make a quick meal, having good local guide books and leaflets for us, and also fish/bird/flower identification info books. Ed thought of everything that you may have needed (snorkel gear, lunch cooker bags, beach towels...etc). Ed also had prints from a local artist displayed and we ran into her at a pop up store by chance, which is really cool. The internet cut out and Ed responded immediately and helped us fix it in no time, thanks again Ed! We really felt like by staying at Ed's place we got to know Kona (and Hawaii in general) better than we would have if we didn't. Will definitely look for this place whenever we're back in the area!
