This is a great little place and provides the perfect base from which to explore the entire Kona coast. The unit is like a large studio, with all the basic amenties. It is tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, with new appliances and fittings. The Lanai is certainly a major highlight, from which we enjoyed many a breakfast and evening meal. Right in the heart of Kona, you can walk to a lot of great places. It is also right by the monthly fair that is held on Alii drive. We had a car, so were able to travel up and down the Kona coast, visiting historical sites, beaches, and coffee estates. Dawn is a wonderfully responsive host. She was in touch early to let us know we could check in early, maintained contact throughout our stay--also stoppying by to say hello and goodbye personally--and provided helpful advice on things to do. We would certainly stay here again when we next plan a trip to Kona. Mahalo, Dawn!
