First off, let me say that I wish they had a 4.5 star option. Beth and her husband were kind and very responsive. The pictures are very accurate and they have things for you to use on a beach day. Their place is less than 10 minutes from downtown Kona and really easy to get to. Parking is a bit snug, but not bad. There are two things that knock it down from a 5 star. First was that this place is connected to the main house and is above their carport. At the time of our booking, the listing wasn’t clear on this and we thought it was separate. Second was the neighbor’s gardeners. There was no warning about when they would be coming. We know the hosts can’t control the neighbors, and it is a residential area, we just weren’t prepared for the noise level some mornings. Beth’s place is cozy and a great jumping off point for exploring the west side of the island!
