We stayed in the apartment for our 10 year anniversary trip. We were out most of the day, but it was a perfect rest spot at night. The house and neighborhood were very charming with the sounds of frogs lulling you to sleep at night. Like many areas on the island, it is a steep hill to get to the house, and the driveway down is pretty steep as well. Once you are parked in front of the house, the driveway is flat and easy to get into the house. A few things didn't work while we were there which is my reasoning for the 4/5 stars. The TV remote's batteries were corroded, so we weren't able to use the TV. We could have bought new batteries, but I had a few shows downloaded on my tablet that worked just fine off of the wifi. There was also a tiny piece of food we had missed dropping at some point that drew some ants. After cleaning up the piece of food and spraying some ant spray (the house was equipped with this), we wanted to vacuum to avoid any more, but despite a charged battery, the vacuum would not turn on. These were both very minor issues and did not impact our trip at all. I would give 4.5 stars if possible. The house is well equipped for two people and has some "fun" things as well like goggles, a beach chair, a cooler, a beach mat, and we left a second one to have a pair. Over all, I highly recommend this vrbo house for your stay!

The property was good. Was NOT centrally located. 7miles from any stores, gas station ,etc.. was ok, but not convenient. We did not enjoy the table and chairs inside and out being tall. I have allergies and bring my own bedding. It would be nice if all BnB s thought about using unscented laundry products.

Nice size rental. Kitchen really equipped for long stays. Super helpful and quick property manager. One thing to note is the steep access, but the only downside.

This is a small but well equipped property. I was moving from the Big Island and taking my dogs with me and it worked out well while we waited for our flight. The owner had just installed a secure electronic entry system and I received an email while on the 2-hour drive to Kona. I had trouble using it as there were few directions and Tiffany, the local agent, was not familiar with it yet either. We got in and all was well until the last night of our stay when we could not get the lock to work. We contacted Tiffany who contacted the owner and an IT person. None of them could override the system. There was a keyhole on the door device but we were told that none of them knew anything about it.By this time we had been standing in the dark for over half an hour.

Loved the location and size of the property. Had some issues with the WiFi, but the property manager was very quick to help. Do understand that this is a two unit building and you can occasionally hear the people next door (toilet/shower turning on, slamming doors and cabinets etc) so do be mindful of the people around you.

Parking was an issue. Only one washcloth in bathroom. Only one dish towel. TV would turn on but no channels. WI-FI was kept dropping.
