With a car, this place is great, the quick access to great snorkeling spots like two step and others, the short drive to Ali'i drive (Kailua Kona downtown), the airport and all of Kona as well as the beautiful view are definitely great things to have in Hawaii! We'd stay here again. I do recommend ear plugs for the several roosters in the area but we enjoyed it as it served as a natural alarm clock to get started early on those snorkeling trips.
This place is not idea if you dont have a car or have a sports car like a camaro or mustang like we initially had... camaro bottom will scrape on the way up the off roadish short drive up the street.
An easy switch to a suv or regular with a bit more ground clearance is perfect.
Neighbour was such a help and very kind as well as accomodations for our late check in. Good hosts!
