Kona Ocean Villa with Pool, Hot Tub
This was a great place to stay. We were looking to avoid the touristy and resort areas, and this was perfect. We were able to explore the Big Island from here.Kids loved Earl Grey and Rama, the cat and dog. And of course, they loved the pool and hot tub. The view was amazing.
