Dawn's place has best location yet very quiet and has everything you would need during your stay plus it is amazingly clean and stylish!! I assure you that you will be satisfied 100%. However if you are into cooking all the time, her kitchen is tiny. However we only stay there for 2 nights and since her place is right in the center of Kona by the ocean, you can easily walk and find restaurants. Yes after long day of driving, you can just park your car and just walk along the ocean and watch sunset. Thank you so much for your great stay!!
