You can't sleep closer to the ocean without camping. Sea breeze moves through the house nearly 24/7. Yurika greeted us warmly and showed us around. Great snorkeling right in front of the house (only 4 minutes walk from the house to very slightly tricky entry/exit). Great porch/lanai for eating chilling/watching people surf. Several folks coming and going at the house, all very friendly and nice. As mentioned by others the room is small and not super private, sound wise. The house was a great place to crash while we snorkeled, surfed and explored the Kona area. If you are looking for lux or hotel-like room this place may not be for you. If you want an inexpensive (for HI) place to sleep on the Kona coast and if you a like funky-cool communal space, this is good choice.
