Dragonfly Ranch
A very unusual place not a Holiday Inn so don’t stay there if that’s what you are looking for. Staff is great chat in kitchen while cutting up fresh fruit. Knowledgeable about local places and customs. Never slept so good ocean breeze fresh rain and frog singing

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.
