We wish we had scheduled a second night in Kona just to have a little time enjoying the space. This was a PERFECT landing for a family of 4 (preteen and teen) off a 12 hours flight, before orienting over to the east side of the island. It is MINUTES from the airport, and you will be absolutely pleased with where you are driving when you see in 3-D as opposed to 2-D on maps.
I was very hesitant to book a place in someone else's place or a multi-unit place for the first time, but this worked just fine for us and our purpose. I'd do it again.
Jason was super responsive when we were booking and when we arrived. Helped us find a good little spot to grab a bite to eat and get the kids out for an evening treat. (In Kona there REALLY isn't much outside of the downtown/hotel district area, just keep that in mind. Kinda like when you go to a country for the first time and find out there REALLY isn't anyplace open from 5-7PM.)
We had the unit closest to the road, and we were just fine. It's a neighborhood so you do see your neighbors and you do hear cars that chooose to drive loud and obnoxious, but you can't control that anywhere and not the owner's fault. But being in a neighborhood is our style-- we like feeling at home and tolerate little things. The property just next down the hill do own a development company of some sort so you do hear the work trucks leaving in the morning and coming in the evening, but it's for about 60 seconds and it is not a deal killer by any stretch of the imagination.
The towels were a little small but work just fine for our small-shaped family. I'm sure that Jason and his family would more than happily supply you a second set of towels if you felt more comfortable.
Thanks again for a great landing spot. Space looks great!
