Had a great stay at Nanette's. We were originally booked in at another place in Kona, but after one night there needed to move out. We booked Nanette's via instant book, as soon as we had done that we received a very detailed and straingforward message with directions and check in info. We actually arrived before check in time, but received a friendly greeting from Nanette, she finished cleaning the place and let us in early.
The place was exactly as pictured, very clean, the lanai was so relaxing that we ended up cooking and eating there instead of heading into town. As others have mentioned you do need a rental car to get into town (although the hele-on bus does stop twice a day about 25 minutes walk away). The availability of beach towels, chairs and chilly bin are also a great plus. So glad that we were able to book this place at the last minute.
