My wife and I had a lovely stay at Thomas's place. When researching places to stay, we were put off by the online reviews of other major hotel chains in the area. We are glad we found this place on Airbnb. The welcome email made the check-in process very smooth. The room is quite spacious and comes with all the amenities needed for a week's trip or even longer. Thomas was very prompt in his communications throughout the trip. The resort is located in a pretty good location, about a mile from the shopping/restaurants area. It also has a "quiet pool" (separate from another pool where lots of kids play), which is not at all crowded and ideal for relaxing with a fantastic ocean view. I highly recommend Thomas's place if you are looking to stay in Kona.
