This was my first stay at the Big Island, and I am glad that I stayed with Elizabeth and Mike. The location in Kona is great, the place is clean, welcoming and great for those who want to cook (the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you may need (blender, pots, pans, toaster, microwave, etc) to use for any meal and has a big fridge and freezer). We enjoyed that the dining area was outdoors in a shaded area. Elizabeth is a wonderful host and helpful with tips, information and a lot of gear (beach chairs, snorkel gear, and towels). We felt safe within the home and within the community. The place is stocked with movies, and night lights making it very friendly for any small family that is considering staying. God Bless you Liz and Mike for a wonderful stay. Mahalo
