Yulia and Glenn's place is the perfect launching pad for exploring the big island. Their place is spacious, clean, quiet and comfortable. It was really nice to have all that we needed to go to the beach: towels, boogie boards, cooler, and chairs. When I first drove into Kona, I felt a little overwhelmed with the busy tourist strip, I tend to like quieter places. However, Yulia and Glenn's place is far enough away from all of that, but not too far if you want to access it. We went to daily yoga classes at a variety of studios/beaches that were in that area. It is also a reasonable amount of time to get to the airport. Keahou Bay is a short walk down the hill, where the Sheraton Resort is. The Sheraton offers a place to see the Manta Rays, beautiful grounds to walk on and yoga classes by the water a few times per week. Yulia and Glenn were always quick to respond to questions. We were very happy with their accommodations!
