Kristina was a wonderful host. She was super responsive, and incredibly helpful in giving us advice and recs for the island. The house was initially difficult to find (no fault of Kristina's - we arrived when it was late and very dark, making it hard to see the markers she described!) The house is nestled into a hill, and the guest apartment is situated on the ground floor, while she lives in the main house above. The room was just as described - clean and cozy with a great ocean view! I would highly recommend this to friends and family. I really liked the South Kona location, making it convenient to go to Kona itself, Kealakeakua Bay, Green Sand Beach, the Southern point of the island, and Volcano National Park. It was just exactly what we were looking for in a home base!
