I cannot recommend Joan's place enough! We were incredibly lucky to be able to spend 5 nights on the big island, and immdeathly loved Joan's place when we saw it in photos. We read the reviews and booked several months in advance. Upon our arrival we were blown away, the home could easily be featured on the cover of a real estate magazine! There was never any concern for our security or the security of our belongings; not only does the community have a gate but the property is also fenced and gated! The property is easy to find and i dont think it ever took more than 7-8 minutes to get from Joan's place to the heart of Ali'i drive right at the Kona Inn shops. If you want a quiet, peaceful retreat in absolutely gorgeous surroundings with a top notch host and easy access to everything, this is your ideal place!!
Thank you Joan for your attentiveness and thoughtfulness during our stay, we feel so lucky to have stayed with you and hope to do so again in the future!
