We really enjoyed our stay at Midori’s place. It is up and away from the hustle and bustle along the beach, yet easy to travel to points of interest. Very close and an easy drive to the Kona airport. Less traffic, more tranquility. It is significantly cooler at the higher altitude, as well, which we appreciated. It is a little off the beaten path, but Midori provided detailed directions so we could find her place. Be prepared for a bit of rough road, but it is part of the adventure. We only stayed 2 nights; wished we could have stayed longer!
