We loved staying at Nicki's place. The house was so comfortable. The view was amazing. During the week we stayed there is was unseasonably cool so we didn't use the amazing pool but we did use the sauna.
Make sure you bring a few warm clothes with you as it can get cool in the evenings.
The location was convenient for us as we could head out to the beaches and not have to get stuck in the Kailua Kona traffic.
Nicki was a great host. She stayed in touch with us while we were there and brought over a few kitchen things that I needed.
We would definitely stay there again and would recommend her house to others traveling to Kona.
