A beautiful space in an ideal location! We loved exploring the beaches and parks in South Kona, and venturing north of Kailua. Maria gave us an amazing list of recommendations and we had so much fun exploring. There is something so magical about being in the jungle. A word to the wise - make sure to rent a car with decent clearance. We had a small Nissan (not good for backroads exploring!) that bottomed out each time we left the driveway. We wound up parking on the street, but still got a hefty fine from the rental company.
