That is a great location. About 10 min walk to town and the beach. 15 min from the closest pier that is a good location for a short snorkeling. We enjoyed to be independent. The room is charming and has a great ocean view. The place is quiet. Dean is very friendly with his guests. We just met at our arrival and we stayed 6 nights. The fan is great in the room. Kona is very hot in the summer.
