If you are looking for a great spot, private, serene and away from the crowds with plenty of room to spread out, look no further. John's place exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed fresh fruit growing around the property, reading to the many sounds of birds and frogs and even several visits from the wild pigs. While this is well outside of Kona, it is situated nicely between Kona and Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, with a handful of small towns and stops between. Honomalino Beach is a fantastic option close to home. It is less crowded and offers great snorkeling and swimming. John's place makes for a great home base for multiple days of adventure.
