My 19 yr old son and I stayed for a week before Christmas and had a fantastic time. The location was ideal for walking to nearby markets, shops, snorkel rentals, beaches, restaurants, and more. We explored the island daily -heading both to the north and south of Kona. For this reason, being centrally located was perfect. Our stay was comfortable and the owner and people working at the property were all very nice and helpful. Can't wait to return!!
