Michelle's place was exactly as described and a wonderful jumping off point to explore Kona and the western side of the Big Island. We loved being able to walk down into town to grab breakfast or dinner, and having a variety of places to explore nearby. The apartment was stocked with everything you could need if you wanted to cook your own meals, and we made use of the snorkel gear to explore nearby Kealakekua Bay which was some of the best snorkeling we have ever seen. Michelle was highly communicative and checked in throughout our stay and made the whole process of visiting the big island seamless. Overall, we would absolutely stay with Michelle again!
