We just spent a lovely week at Diane’ s house. The house has a very nice view of the ocean and a very big deck area to relax in. It is near The City of Refuge which is a very special place to stroll around or have a picnic. We snorkeled at Two Steps next to it and the bay is loaded with fish! It is about 25 minutes drive north to Kona and 1.75 hours drive south to the volcano. We did a lot of driving most days. So fun! The house has most everything you can think of for your trip. It has some fruit trees surrounding but we didn’t get to taste the fruit since there weren’t much left but you can find many at farmers market in Kona. It was so peaceful and quiet. The road up to the house is fine for a small car if you go slow. Make sure you follow her detailed directions to get there the first time. Do not use GPS. We followed GPS and it was a mile off. We got lost finding her house in the dark and pouring rain and so thankful that she was there to pick up the phone and stayed with us till we found the house. Thank you Diane for letting us stay at your special place. And do not forget to apply mosquito lotion right away!
