This was our first trip to the Big Island and we weren’t sure where would be best to base our explorations. South Kona was perfect. Great weather and close enough to the amenities of Kona-Kailua, yet far enough away not to feel touristy at all. Beautiful beaches, amazing snorkelling at Two Step and Captain Cook, picnic suppers and glorious sunsets at Pu’uhonua Point - all just a short drive away.
Ohana House had everything we needed but the best part was the lanai overlooking the ocean. We were seldom inside and looked forward to constant visits from all the four legged friends. After our daily explores, we always looked forward to getting back to Ohana and relaxing on the lanai.
We also greatly enjoyed having the Hyundai Kona rental, it was perfect for discovering as much of the Big Island as we could fit into our short two week visit. Comfortable to drive and great mileage.
It is always hard to leave such a special place, but it is nice feeling like you’ve made new friends.
