We wanted a place away from the lights and resorts so we could experience Hawai’i in a natural setting and neighborhood and we found it at Kris’s South Kona Studio! Having our Breakfast on the patio looking out at the ocean was just what we needed! It felt good to come home to the studio after a day out exploring. Kris and her son were great hosts ....there if you needed anything, but respected our privacy . We enjoyed sharing a bottle of wine over great conversation . Kris knows so much about the island due to her background as a travel writer. We had a great experience staying at this charming studio! Mahalo, Kris!
