This hostess uses surveillance video. This deeply disturbed us that our children were being video taped without our knowledge. While the house is large and well kept, we did have complaints from the hostess about the noise our two boys were making in their bedroom. We also had dogs barking in the neighborhood throughout the nights. The house is also a lot more than 5 minutes walk to the beach. An active person might get to the beach in 20 minutes. We loved Kona.
