I can’t say enough about this property! This is not the location to be if you want to hang out in downtown Kona. This is the location if you love snorkeling the best spots in Hawaii and are into watching amazing sunsets every night. Over the years we’ve done a lot of guided tours to captain cook and staying in this house allowed us to snorkel those spots as often as we wanted. I’m swimming across the bay it’s intimidating, there’s a kayak rental outfit around the corner where you can rent A double kayak for $60 for the day. The house is old and rustic and lived in but upon check-in the house was absolutely spotless. The kitchen is well stocked including sharp knives, they were beach chairs for use and a charcoal barbecue. Stop at Costco stock up and hang out. If you’re looking for good pizza - I recommend Black rock Pizza and Captain Cook. You can get takeout or they have an awesome patio.
