I find myself baffled at this request for grass hut style in Kona. You have been to Kona, right, Billy? There may have been some grass huts two hundred years ago ...
and there are hardly any real beaches.
There are some nice rentals though, and plenty that aren't condos, but they cost more.
How much are you guys willing to spend a night?
If you want to stay under $100 for two people you can get a clean motel room or motel style condo, but not beachfront.
The Kona Tiki is one of the cheapest places right on the ocean.
Magic Sands condos have oceanfront and are reasonably priced.
The Outrigger used to be cheap, but they renovated and have raised their prices accordingly.
Seriously, what do people really mean when they ask for grass hut style? This is the second time this week I've seen it. I've stayed in lagoon-front thatched roof "huts" on Aitutaki that were built of plywood and very basic, but even those were $150 USD a night in a place where the dollar was strong at that time. I'm thinking Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, not Kona!
hey Damon, thanks a lot for the heads-up about the centipedes because my family was going to rent a cabin for an upcoming birthday and they have a baby, and they have enough centipedes to wage war on at their own house.
