We stayed at Shelly and Tom's place for 10 days. It was awesome. They are super friendly and welcoming. They have stuff for you to borrow, like boards and snorkeling gear. You can also do a load of clothes for three bucks. The place is downstairs and you have your own entry little patio area and it feels super private. You'll have a nice big bed and a little kitchen are with a fridge and microwave. There is also a clothes line to hang items after a day if fun at the beach. The location is great; you'll need a car wherever you stay. We'd definitely book again on our next trip to Kona. Also, lovebug the cat!
