My wife and I stayed in Cathy and Peter's place on our first trip to the Island of Hawaii and our first trip to the islands all together. Their home is in a great location - extremely close to the Kona airport (15 min away), 5 min from the Kona shops, restaurants, and beaches, and provides easy access to the roads and highways that will allow you to explore the entire island. There was so much to do on the island that we found we didn't spend too much time at the house. However, the amenities like the huge TV, full size refrigerator, pool, jacuzzi, and private living quarters were fantastic when we were at home.
Peter and Cathy's hospitality is exceptional and they both contain a wealth of knowledge about the island. We didn't have a game plan when we first landed, but used the tips they gave us to plan our amazing excursions. They also have beach supplies like towels, chairs, snorkel gear, and boogie boards you can borrow. Don't miss out on the snorkeling - we saw colorful fish, living coral, turtles and even manta rays!
Next time we come back to Da Big Island we'll stay in Peter and Cathy's rental again.
Mahalo,
Eric
