Rocky is a wonderful host. Great communication, very responsive and helpful - the best! The apartment was good, super comfortable main beds, and a brand new pull out sofa bed arrived during our stay. The apartment was well equiped, and the extra touches of snorkelling gear were really appreciated. Convenient to town via the free once hourly Kona Trolley, provided you are on a relaxed Hawaiian time schedule. Definitely worth hiring a 4 wheel drive to go to the top of Mauna Kea and some of the more remote beaches.
