Highly recommend this home. Jackie was accessible, she also provided extra travel tips and local recommendations. Her home was extremely spacious and very clean. We had 7 in our group and we had more room than we needed. Location wise, yes it’s on the opposite side of the island as Kona, where there are a lot of tourist attractions. However, no matter which side of the island you stay on- there would be some commuting involved if you want to see as much of the big island as possible. This home is a great deal and Jackie was a thoughtful host.
