It was a great experience staying at John's place. He and his lovely family really make you feel at home. There you can experience the real contact with nature, and it has a great view of the sea at Kona.
The place was tidy and cosy, and it has space for the guests to store food & cook, which I recommend to do.
The ensuite room is small but has all what you need, and is lovely decorated with bonsais, and equiped with fans. You will have WIFI connection as well.
It is pretty easy to get there from the main avenue by car, being close to shopping malls and supermarkets. No public transportation is available.
I wouldn't doubt coming back here!
