This was the PERFECT “home base” for us! We were able to explore the island all day, come back for a shower, and then head straight downtown for some food and drink. Magic beach and downtown were within walking distance for us and that made the first few days that we didn’t have a car so enjoyable!!! The room was perfect and the house was always clean! BE AWARE if you want to explore the island beyond the Kona area make sure you rent a car, Uber & taxi are hit and miss depending on where you are & when you need it. We scheduled an Uber the night before to get us to our morning excursion and there were no drivers available so we missed out and there are NO REFUNDS on most activities!
