Had a wonderful week's stay with Mike and Gary. They immediately made me feel welcome into their beautiful home which is at a very pleasant altitude of around 1000' . The room itself was comfortable and private from the rest of the house. It had a very private lanai which overlooked the lush tropical gardens and to the distant ocean. Whilst I really enjoyed interacting with them, I was also afforded the privacy when I wanted it. It was up to me to decide how much I wished to interact or be left alone. As they have both lived in Kailua-Kona for many years, including in their current house, they were a mine of useful information on the local scene. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to be away from the tic-toc tourist traps of of Kona, yet just minutes from the town and beaches.
