From this location you are about 15-20 minutes south of Kona depending on the time of day. Had the volcano not been erupting while were there, the location would have been perfect for being centrally located to all the places we planned on visiting during our stay. It is also about 15 minutes away from two-step, which seems to be a popular place to snorkel. It is about 2 minutes away from the trail to Captain Cook (best snorkeling I have ever experienced).
The grounds here are amazing! I loved sitting on the deck and just enjoying the mature landscaping. It is very tropical and well manicured. My daughter also enjoyed all the wildlife that it attracted (4 different types of lizards, and a few different types of frogs).
The house itself was perfect. You can tell everything is new, and it was very clean upon our arrival. There isn't any AC, but I don't recall ever feeling like we needed it. The home was shaded, and the many windows provide great circulation. There was always a nice breeze outside.
It wasn't a problem for us, but be aware that the only bathroom is located inside of the bedroom area.
If I ever return to the big island I would definitely want to stay here again, and recommend it to anyone. John and Nat were the friendliest hosts I have yet to encounter, they made my family feel very welcome!
