This is the perfect place to stay if you want to do activities on the Kailua-Kona side of the island. It is up on the mountain just a bit but it's an easy trip down to the beach/snorkeling areas. It's also very near the Kona coffee belt if you are interested in coffee tours. Karoline is the sweetest host and her place is emaculatly clean! She has so many extras available that I felt I over packed. The kitchenette was very well equipped with any appliance you may need. Even a Vitamix and coffee grinder for example. If you're considering this place don't think twice. Just do it!
