Dougie’s place is a great option in Kona. You’re close to the bustle of Kailua-Kona, and across the street from Magic Sands Beach. There’s also a nice pool, the view from the lanai is lovely, and Dougie has provided beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, and even a selection of Hawaii movies on DVD. When you arrive there are welcome drinks in the fridge, and you can even grill at the pool.
