I came to Kona for the Ironman. I stayed in the master bedroom which was much nicer than we expected. We had our own private section of the balcony and a partial view of the ocean. While the house is not right next to the main area's with shops & restos, but there is a beach within walking distance and Guyla provided rides for a very fair price. A quiet and relaxing vibe - having your own transport when staying here, would make it perfect!
