Margie and Greg have a cute apartment nestled at about 1000 ft in the Kalaoa area near highway 190. Although there is no Air Conditioning or Range, the elevation helps with the heat and we were never home enough to have a need for a range. If your intention is to be in the heart of Kona, then this place is not for you. However if you intend to traverse into the northern part of the island, upwards to Waimea and over to Hilo, this is a great location as it is the middle point between both. Both Greg and Margie are both very knowledgeable of the local area and made the checkin/checkout process a breeze.
