Andrei's house is a beautiful wooden house, and for those seeking a bit privacy it well elevated with views of the shore and yet only several minutes drive from Kona and beaches.

The Big Island in general is a special place, and we preferred it to the tourist-laden fervour of Waikiki. Quiet beaches, volcano tours ... but still the opportunity to go to some decent restaurants only a short distance away make for an excellent combination.

Sadly our vacation was cut short by the news of a death in the family, but some of our house-guests stayed behind and had nothing but praise for Andrei and this dwelling.
