from "downtown" Kailua. Bill greeted me with a lei and was very welcoming and friendly. I stayed in the "Dolphin Ohana” room, which was clean, spacious, and comfortable. All in all, it was a good value and great location, and I highly recommend staying with Aurora and her family.
The only concern I would point out is that is not possible to use the shower in the evening without disturbing everyone else in the household. A lot of the activities you may want to do in and around Kona (star-gazing on Mauna Loa, snorkeling with manta rays, etc.) means getting home sweaty, salty, and sandy long after dark, so plan ahead if you need to shower.
