Annie is the best! I was here for 2.5 months for a work trip and it was perfect for me. I was less than two miles to the hospital where I worked. There was lots of parking, lots of amenities available and it was great having Annie around as a familiar face. The neighborhood is rural with hiking and a few good restaurants. It is an easy drive to downtown Kona with more bars, restaurants. And beaches. The room was clean and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the sunset from my personal porch. The hostel building next door had a lot of cute common areas for hanging out. Common kitchen was clean and had everything you would need. The Big Island is amazing. Excellent stay- thank you Annie!!
