The perfect spot! North end of the Hamakua coast, you'll be able to access, Waipio valley, Hilo, Waimea and Waikoloa Beaches (50 mins by car). Seeing Kona's countryside was half the fun, my girlfriend and I were so happy that we chose to stay with Jo! She is a great communicator and was generous with all of our requests. The place itself has charm, comfort and plenty of space. If you are driving Kona and want to explore the jewels of the eastside of the island, stay with Jo, you won't be dissapointed!
