This wonderful house met all of our expectations! It is located on a very quiet street with an unobstructed view and access to Captain Cook bay. Rick, the owner, provided kayaks and snorkel gear. The snorkeling near the Captain Cook monument was among the best we’ve ever seen! The house was comfortable for our family of 7, ages 9-74. All of us enjoyed the resident geckos and mongoose. Mosquitoes were a bit annoying but we chalked that up to part of being in our own private tropical paridise. If you want the hustle and bustle of Hawaii, it is an easy drive to Kona. Our week went much too quickly.
