Lovely, well-appointed place in a suburban neighborhood near Kona Airport. It is an in-law unit of the main home, with its own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms. The hosts, Kelly and Francesca, live in the main home. They were super friendly and generous -- some of the highlights of our trip were eating bananas they gifted us from their garden and attending a golf tournament on their spare tickets. We also really enjoyed using the soaps that Francesca makes professionally.
The living space is modern, clean, and comfortable, save for the occasional ant congregations in the kitchen (which could be controlled, but not eliminated, with organic bug spray and attention to cleanliness), and a puzzlingly small television.
The location is about five minutes from the airport, 15 minutes from downtown Kona, and 20-30 minutes from the beautiful beaches of the Kohala Coast.
Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed staying here. While it doesn't offer complete privacy and seclusion -- a relatively thin wall separates you from your hosts -- it is your own place, and Kelly and Francesca are extremely respectful and gracious. We loved our stay and didn't want to leave.
