Paul's space near Kona was the perfect home base during the for the first leg of our Hawaii road trip. We had a really hellish journey getting to Hawaii (cancelled flights, delayed flights, missed connections, lost baggage), but Paul was quick to respond when we told him of our delays. He had a "no worries at all" attitude that calmed our nerves.
The apartment was comfortable and private. We actually didn't see Paul during our stay (though we would've loved to meet). In the apartment, there is a small fridge and extra toiletries in case you forgot anything. There are also beach towels, boogie boards and other beach items for guests to use. We appreciated that. Another perk... You can park right outside Paul's home on the street. We highly recommend having a car during your trip to the Big Island.
We had forgotten the kitchen was only a partial kitchen when we stopped at the store to grab some snacks and lunch items. Note that you only have a mini fridge, small freezer and microwave for cooking.
