We stayed for three nights in Kate and Neil's beautiful, peaceful spot in the hills above Kona. Plenty convenient to town with a feeling of being in the country. Very clean and spacious apartment with tons of natural light. Decorated beautifully and comfortably as well. We'd never done a stay where the owners lived on the premises as well, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Kate and Neil were so welcoming and available to give insider tips, and at the same time we felt we had privacy. They had everything we needed (beach gear, fresh fruit, guidebook to borrow, etc) and more. It was perfect, we wished we could stay longer.
