What a great place! We were in a tropical paradise. The rental had exactly what we needed for a couple of night's stay. If you don't want to be in the center of the tourist area, this is in a very nice and peaceful neighborhood in the hills above Kailua-Kona, about 5-7 minutes away. It also has a nice view looking toward the ocean. J-M's mother Diane is a welcoming and friendly host.
