We had a wonderful stay at Rebecca's place in Kona. The house was well maintained and Rebecca was a accommodating and responsive host. As many of the reviews note, the apartment has amazing views of the sea, we often saw fishes and turtles from our bedroom and the living room. Sugar Beach, which is right next door to the apartment, is a pristine white sand beach with clear blue waters (though a little too crowded for us). The snorkeling gear and other beach accouterments in the apartment helped us make the most of our stay close to some of Kona's prettiest and snorkeling-friendly beaches. I would highly recommend it for a stay in Big Island!
