We had a fantastic time in Kona - it was too short a stay! We stayed at Paul's place for 3 nights and it was great. Really close to multiple surfing/snorkelling options and 5-10 minute drive to town. The house has all the essentials and there's a lot of beach equipment available to use which we really appreciated. Paul was really kind and helpful and made a conscious effort to ensure his guests were having a great time. It's good to note the place doesn't have a TV - not a problem for those wanting to get out and about and explore the area which we highly recommend! :)
