Carol Ann and Michael are great hosts. I was impressed by the variety of items provided at this cute studio. The view out of the big window was amazing. We got a bit unlucky with weather, but on a sunny morning, having breakfast in the beautiful garden was the best way to start a day of adventures. The location is about half way between the attractions in Kona (e.g. the popular beach parks) and the volcano national park, which does require some driving in either direction, but with some planning (restaurants, groceries) it didn't bother me.
