Jim and Terry's little studio as a perfect place for our 10-day vacation to the big island.
Their home is indeed a short trip from the airport and well-positioned for traveling to many areas around the island. It is right next to beltway road and only a short, 30-minute drive into Kona for major amenities (e.g., larger grocers).
We also really loved the space. The studio is small, but a comfortable size especially given the little outdoor area. It is tucked away from the main house, so we never felt like we were being intruding on Jim/Terry. There are also enough cooking equipment that we could cook a variety of different dinners for ourselves.
We met Jim and their sweet dog, Kona, while there. Jim is a great host and an excellent resource for making the most of your stay in Hawaii. His extensive guide helped us fine-tune our travel plans. (also, make sure you read the instructions to get to their place! Google Maps missing the last turns). Jim also made the COVID precautions comfortable and the unit was spotless on our arrival. We would happily stay there again!
