We stayed in Kona for 4 nights on our 35th anniversary trip, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dana's place. Located across the street fom Kahalu'u Bay, we had a great ocean view while eating breakfast on the lanai every morning. We were able to borrow beach equipment and go snorkeling across the street. There's a bike rental kiosk just 250 yards away, at which we rented bikes to ride to downtown Kona (Dana has beach bikes to borrow as well, but we didn't find them until later). The studio was clean and well stocked and communication was excellent. Dana was very welcoming and has an adorable family. She also gave us some great suggestions for dining. We definitely recommend her place.
