Carol Ann's place is amazing! We flew into Kona and stayed for a night so we could go to the South Point Cliff Dive, black sands beach, and the lava flow at Kalapana - all a reasonable drive away. The studio has gorgeous views of the ocean and surrounding volcanic terrain, and Carol Ann and her partner were so welcoming and helpful re: plans for our adventures. In the morning we enjoyed eggs (from Carol Ann's chickens) and fresh ground coffee (that she provided) at a table outside with a view of the Pacific and lamented not being able to stay longer.
