John's place is great! It's spacious, secluded, and quiet, with a fantastic view!
The Good:
1. Lots of room for us to spread out and the house was surprisingly quiet! I often couldn't tell if other people were in the house or not.
2. Secluded and quiet (people quiet, the animals were quite loud, but it was awesome!)
3. Gorgeous view!!
4. Great beach supplies
5. Lots of bathrooms
The could-be-better:
1. The road from Kona to the house is super curvy - not so great when you have a few people in your party who are prone to motion sickness. I know this is nothing that John has any control over, but it was rough for us.
2. The dishwasher didn't really work.
3. The internet was basically useless. Fun to get more off the grid, but it was worse than anticipated.
4. Expect a ton of driving. You can see that aspect on the map, but it was more than we had anticipated and by the end of the trip we were quite worn out on driving.
5. If you're not a fan of animals/reptiles/insects, watch out.
