We just came home from a 9-night stay on the Big Island at Liz and Robert's ohana in Kona. The apartment was nicely appointed, clean, comfortable, and quiet. It's on a cul-de-sac in a lovely residential area, so it was quiet and safe, but it was also very close to the ocean and all the action on Ali'i drive. It's within walking distance of White Sands/Magic beach and just a short drive to Ka'ha Lu'u beach park for good snorkeling. We don't like to deal with a lot of people at the big resorts and we like to explore on our own, so after going to a different beach everyday, it was nice to come back to the peace and comfort of the apartment. Liz and Robert were super nice and available to answer any questions and give advice. We packed light so when I needed to do a load of laundry, Liz readily gave me access to the washer/dryer. We really appreciated that, and the huge, tile shower with the awesome shower head was a real treat after a day in the sun, sand, and salt water. The location is really unique because we felt close enough to the shops, markets, and restaurants of Kona and the marina of Keauhou but tucked in a quiet, residential neighborhood. If you are looking for a relaxing place to stay with all the comforts of home, that's reasonably priced, where you can eat in (full kitchen) or go out to one of the many restaurants, this is an excellent choice. If we make it back there someday, we'll stay here again. We had a wonderful vacation.
