Karoline (and "guard dog" Sundance) was very helpful without being obstructive. The house very comfortable and on the hillside; so, it has a great view of downtown Kona. Perfect for sunsets. It's about a 15 minute drive to town. Karoline also welcomed us with Kona coffee, local mangos, and chocolates! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing stay in Kona.
