David & Masako’s place was a great home base during our trip to Kona. Nice, quiet neighborhood and nicely furnished apartment. It has everything we needed to do a little cooking, as well as a lovely outdoor space. The snorkel gear and beach chairs they provided were a great addition to our beach time. There is a trolley that runs to Kona not far from the house, though it is infrequent and unreliable, so I would recommend renting a car if possible (there is parking available while staying at their place). Make sure to take advantage of the fruit trees on the property, particularly the grapefruit! We really enjoyed our stay.
