Very good location and walkable to many places in and around downtown Kona. Don't need to rent a car if you are not venturing to far. You can even get away with using Uber if your destinations are not too far out of Kona. Car Rental Prices in Kona are the most brutal on planet earth!!! Marc's place is about a 5 min. walk to a large new Safeway & less than a 15 min. walk to the Pier (a nice little local beach where you can snorkel easily) and most dining spots. McDonalds a 3 min. walk and so to a convenience store. Marc's place was very clean and spacious and can easily sleep 4 adults or a large family of 6. It has a cottage like feel (aka its not like staying at the Four Seasons) which for me and my wife, it reminded us of our cottage that we used to own and visit often. The location is in a residential area so not as quiet as if you were camping in the woods but still very private. The sound of all the birds was amazing. We woudl stay again.
