Mahalo! Thank you for a great stay!
Marc's Surf Hideaway has a great, unpretentious vibe. There are a couple of studio suites (mine had a kitchenette) in a residential area, convenient to the Kailua-Kona airport, Kona town, a grocery store, and a short drive to gorgeous public beaches. I enjoyed perusing the helpful travel guidebooks in the room, admiring orchids and other flowers casually growing by the road (took a short walk), and petting Marc's very chill cat in the yard.
I was here for a brief stay for a conference on the island, but I would love to stay here again and this time to make use of the snorkel equipment provided!
