We loved this place! It was perfect for our family of 8 with all of the household conveniences it provided (washer and dryer, kitchen, and 3 full bathrooms). It is an older home, but was super clean and comfortable to be in. We loved the lanai for eating meals and relaxing. We found the geckos entertaining. After the first night the noisy little frogs became relaxing to me, but my wife used ear plugs the whole time. The home is right off of the highway, but the vegetation is dense and we weren't bothered by the traffic.
The house was central to two great snorkeling beaches, Pu'uhonau o Honaunau and Ho'okena. It took about 30-40 minutes to get to or from Kona, depending on the traffic. However, we had plenty of time on the beaches and still saw almost everything we hoped to see on the Island. The roads are winding and narrow, but "Welcome to Hawaii!" ; )
We had a great time and recommend this house to everyone!
