"We had a wonderful stay at Janie’s place in Kailua Kona! From the moment we arrived, it truly felt like a home away from home. The house was comfortable, welcoming, and had everything we needed for our stayThe pool was a huge highlight, especially for the kids, and was the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring the island. The location was fantastic central to everything we wanted to see and do, while still being a great place to come back to and unwind. One of our favourite parts was the amazing sunsets from the deck and pool over looking the beautiful ocean. Janie was a wonderful host, communication was perfect and we really enjoyed our time here. We would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Big Island and would happily stay here again!A hui hou "
