Lovely house with a killer view. Joni has thought of all of the possible things you might need to enjoy the beach! The neighborhood is dense but quiet, and because no one was at home in the next door house, we felt very private. We liked staying south of Kailua-Kona (about 45 minutes drive), but some people might want to be closer in order to access the Kohala beaches more easily. Some great snorkeling beaches close by!
