Jill's home is the perfect place to get away from the crowds and hustle and bustle of Kailua-Kona and Kohala and experience the real Hawaii. It's about a 10 min windy drive down the hill from the main road to Jill's home at the bay, so you'll really feel like you're away from it all. Jill lives next door, and she is very welcoming and responsive to any needs. Her home is clean and well-equipped, and she has coolers, beach towels, beach chairs, floats, etc. to borrow. It has lots of space for 5 adults. There are plenty of fans to keep the place cool enough (high temps in mid-80s when we were there), and additional A/C units in the bedrooms, but we didn't use them. Since this is real Hawaii-living, you'll have to be careful about keeping food out and will need to throw the kitchen trash frequently because the food attracts ants and other bugs, but this isn't a big issue. Jill's home is located walking distance to Kealakekua Bay, which is a perfect if you want to jump in kayak and head over to Captain Cook Monument for some of the best snorkeling on the island and a chance to encounter dolphins. The place is also a short driving distance to Two Steps for more fabulous snorkeling and possibly more dolphin encounters, which was the case on our trip! My family really enjoyed staying here.
