Tom's place was perfect for my friend and I! We live on the same island, but we were going to participate Kona marathon, and didn't want to commute or spend too much money on the hotel. Tom's house was clean and convenient. Tom gave us a tour of the house when we arrived, he had coffee ready in the morning, and accommodate our need throughout our stay. We recommend Tom's place to anyone! Also, Tom's buddy, T-bone, is so cute!!
