Kai's place is 30min drive from Kona and is wonderfully located near the beach. We had a smooth check-in experience and Kai was super communicative and helpful during the entire stay. The A-frame style cabin gets pleasant sea breeze with mild sounds of waves which is very soothing. However, just as other places in Hawaii, there is a nocturnal frog species that sounded pleasant to me, can be annoying for some light sleepers. Lot of things to do in the nearby area such as Kayaking, Snorkeling, Tours, Hiking to the Captain Cook Monument etc. I recommend Kai's place for anyone looking for a modest yet wonderful stay in Big Island.
