A clean, modern, quiet, well equipped, private and safe little place to stay. Located at the bottom of a rather steep and winding drive, just under ten minutes, this home is perhaps 30 yards from the ocean. Bedroom, living room, dining room all directly overlook and are cooled by the cleanest air and water on the planet. So quiet and calm, this is where to get your digital detox (though there is great wifi in case of relapse). This was our first trip to the Big Island and we spoke with many staying in Kona who complained of being too far away from the southern parts of the island (south point, volcano national, etc.). This place splits the difference between north and south perfectly and lies just outside the long, winding 35 mph zone along southern Kona. A right at the top of the hill and it’s a straight, 55 mph zone the entire way to south point and to volcano national. Hilo’s not much further from those points. You should plan to spend at least one day around the house. It's so peaceful. Our walk in the morning was very fun. We were met by very friendly people and each of the houses here are quite unique. The Milolii Beach Park is great, but should you make the short trek (15 minutes) down to Honomalino Bay. Wow, what a beautiful and deserted beach. “Hawaii, The Big Island Revealed” gives good advice for locating the beach. Dan was the most responsive and informative AirBnB host we’ve had to date and we were really happy to have found his home!
