Kristina's South Kona studio was just as described. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed (and more!) to make our stay enjoyable. The neighborhood is peaceful and gorgeous. The house is just uphill from a small semi-private beach, and Kristina provides snorkel gear, beach mats and towels, etc for her guests to make the most of a trip down to the beach.

She left us with a DVD with a slide show and video of marine life in the bay, and we fell asleep watching and anticipating the creatures we would encounter in the morning.

Kristina also gave us good recommendations on places to eat and snorkel further up the coast.

Kristina's communication was excellent from start to finish. She was delightful and enthusiastic about sharing her island home with us.
