This place was great! We loved that we could use the washer and dryer, the geckos were fun, and our room was cozy with a private bathroom and had a mounted fan to keep cool. It's a short walk away from downtown Kona, although, fair warning- it is uphill! It was a little difficult wheeling our luggage up there. We were able to use some snorkel gear and boogie board, and Penny was very friendly and helpful with suggesting things to do and food to eat. We didn't get to meet Marc because he was away on a trip.
