Hale Kea was the perfect place to start our week long honeymoon in Hawaii. The apartment was spotless and had all the comforts of home. It was also refreshing to have a quiet place to stay in a residential neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Kona. While we didn't get a chance to meet Thomas and his family, the guest material that he provided was very helpful and gave us great suggestions on what to do in the area. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend this guesthouse to anybody else planning on visiting the Big Island!
