The home is an older build, but it is extremely nice. Some of the cabinetry shows the effects of the extreme, constant humidity, but everything was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen was very well stocked with basic spices and plenty of dishes, pots and pans, and utensils so what little cooking we did do was too easy. Many extras not mentioned in the listing, made this home feel like we were "at home". One of the best things about the home was making a fresh pot of Kona Dark roast coffee in the morning and sitting on the spacious and very well apportioned veranda and just watching the world go by. The grounds were extremely well maintained and a pleasurable place to spend time. One of his neighbors was mowing his lawn, and we wound up spending quite a while having a good conversation, just like being at home..... I know Im coming back to Kona fairly soon to do more diving with friends, and if this home is available, it is where we will stay.
