This place is a perfect spot to start your visit on Big Island. It's close to shops, restaurants and the beach - quiet and safe. I found it superclean and easy to check-in. Catherine has been an amazing host, easy to communicate with and even arranged to letting me stay longer on my last day for enjoying the beach one last time. You'll definetly need a car to drive around but you're parking space is right in front of the building and couldn't be more convenient. Kona is a beautiful area and I loved everything about it. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and would love to come back again some time. Mahalo Catherine! I'll take wonderful memories with me.
