Big Island lodging recommendations

[TSandM]

Did a search and didn't come up with much -- lots of recommendations for dive ops, but I think I've got that pretty much sorted.

We'll be two couples coming over in January for my husband's 60th birthday. We'd like to find a place to stay where there will be room to hang up gear, and preferably someplace to rinse it (other than the shower). I won't say price is no object, but especially since it's a special occasion, someplace nice and comfortable is worth a little extra money.

Anybody have a favorite spot that's diver-friendly?

I a lot of my friends including myself go to Kona often and we usually rent a house.. It is much cheaper than a hotel and you get a lot more amenities.

This rental house is in a very good area that’s close to everything and is pretty reasonable in price.

No ideas, just Happy pre-birthday to Peter - had no idea he was at 60 already (figured mid-50's) - though I'm sure each of those years were well earned. My Mom's 60th was her favorite birthday, she celebrated all year long telling nearly everyone she came across.
