En-Route
This is a pretty well traveled group, so thought I'd query the populace for some advice.
Planning a trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, maybe mid-December or January (flexible on timing). Did visit a while back in Hilo, loved the area but this time shooting for the Kona Coast as we've not been there. Perhaps a week or so. Not a fan of the hustle and bustle of the big hotel/resorts, prefer a smaller house or maybe even a condo/small hotel in a quiet area. Would be four of us, so two bedrooms would be fine. Don't need marble showers and gourmet kitchens, just comfortable and quiet. Beach within walking distance is a big plus. Will have a car for transportation, so away from town isn't a problem. Browsing through Air B&B and VBRO indicates lots of choices, but personal experience is far better than pictures and write-ups on the internet.
Realize this won't be cheap, generally you get what you pay for... Any particular location strike y'all as a quiet get away type place?
