Tina and Keri were wonderful hosts! I live on the island, but needed a place for my family to stay while they visited me. They are conveniently located in South Kona, where all the good dive spots are, like Two Step (Place of Refuge), Manini Beach, Kealakekua Bay, and Captain Cook. It's a few miles from the local grocery store Choice Mart, and only 15 miles south of the big city (kailua kona). If you want to stay in authentic Hawaii, I suggest staying with Tina and Keri. They had fresh fruit and made muffins every night for the next morning, it was truly authentic experience for my family. I couldn't have asked for a better place for my family to stay. Many Mahalos!
