We were looking for a comfortable spot a bit outside the busy tourist areas of Kailua-Kona, and Ken's place delivered beyond expectations. The lower level apartment in this charming home is quite spacious with a large kitchen and a comfortable bedroom. We enjoyed watching birds flit through the banana trees surrounding the long private balcony. The location is great, near Kealakekua Bay and Captain Cook, as well as several other small towns with great character and excellent spots to eat, including The Coffee Shack, Super J's, Teshima's and Shred Taco. Ken is extremely accommodating and helpful with local hints.
