Marc and his wife Penny were great hosts. Communication was great and they provided us with good advice and even got us a discount with a tour group. Their place is clean and comfortable just as the pictures show. They let us use the washing machine and dryer which was really handy. The location is very convenient, close to shops and food, and not far from the airport. He had snorkel gear which he lent us free of charge. Penny was even kind enough to offer us a taste of the Popsicles that they sell at the farmers market. If staying in Kona for a few days I would highly recommend you stay with Marc and Penny.
