Perfect place to stay if you want a more authentic island experience. 5 minute walk to swimming & snorkeling... Kayaks and snorkel gear rentals are right there too. This location is so great, just a mere 5-10 minutes drive to The Place of Refuge National Park and some of the best snorkeling (2 Step!!! go there!!!).
Heidi, her son, and her pets were gracious hosts who left some local tangelos, coconuts, and even a slice of cake (celebrating our wedding) for us to enjoy. Heidi is alot of fun, born in Hawaii she's lived in Kona for the last 15 years and is happy to offer suggestions and tips to first time visitors to the big island.
Long story short I loved staying at Heidi's and hope to return someday.
