We loved staying at Stacey's place. The house really had everything we needed: in the kitchen, for the beach and to have comfort and feel at home. For our beach trips: snorkeling gear, boogie boards, beach towels, an umbrella. We always found what we needed in the kitchen. The grocery store is super close. The pools were perfect for the kids and us - loved watching the sunset and hearing the surf at the ocean view pool. Farmers markets were close. Recommendations for what to do helped us plan our days and allowed us to go to the best places. We liked the small bookstore at the nearby strip mall (near the KTA grocery store). We have friends right up the brand new road to Captain Cook, which was perfect for us. We would definitely recommend the Turtle House to anyone looking for a place near Kona.
