Lehua Lounge in the Heart of Downtown Kona

This little Oasis near the heart of Kona was perfect for a girls' trip....2 friends, one of which was also mom with daughter & granddaughter - that was our group. We loved the spacious accommodations - the special touches of Hawaiiana, the soothing colors of the interior (we thought the purple was great), the big kitchen, the use of beach equipment (first come...), the modern and fresh bathrooms, the comfortable beds, the veranda for morning coffee, the available parking just near the unit's entrance, the easy communication, and the trust shown to us. The only disappointment was that one of the room air conditioners for the main living area was not working, and had been put away. Each bedroom has a unit, and they work great. One cannot move one from the bedroom to the living room, because they require special handling and the owners have asked that you not move any around - which is understandable. After the initial arrival to a very hot unit, we opened windows, and it cooled down very well after the sun went down. Everyone in our group loved this sweet "mermaid" home and we all highly recommend it!!! We would definitely book it again!

Perfect staycation. Had all the necessary amenities. Check-in and check-out process was clearly communicated.

This place is exactly as listed. We had 4 adults in the place. Lots of room. Good a/c in bedrooms. Nice deck/lanai to have a meal. Well equipped kitchen. Indoor table. It is easy walk downhill to pie but at the end of the day it is a bit of a steep uphill for a few blocks. We loved it here. Lots of toys for beach Great access to downtown. There is an available air bed. Host is great and responds quickly.

This is a very clean very nice place to stay!

We loved everything about the property except the location. It was very hard to wack down town due to the lack of sidewalks.

It was really nice and comfortable, easy to find and fun to stay in.

I am from Hawaii and I know that to an extent bugs are unavoidable living here, but the amount of ants in the place was out of control. There were all these tiny little ants running around on the kitchen counters, kitchen sink, stove, bar top, and bathroom sink. There were just as many large carpenter ants on the floors, walls, and ceilings in the bedrooms and living room. We could not put anything out on the counter tops for even one second without a swarm. When packing at the end of the stay, I had make sure we weren't packing any of the ants (as I saw some also crawling over our luggage). The property manager or owner was responsive and did come over the first night and give me ant bait to put out. However, the bait takes a few days to kick in so it didn't really help our stay. Hopefully it helps the people staying there after us. Just FYI - the laundry and dryer is outside, not in the unit. Also, wear bug spray when doing laundry as there is a mosquito infestation back there. It is really unfortunate, because the unit is otherwise great - looks even better than the pictures. The unit is much more spacious and cute than the pictures portray. It is also in a wonderfully convenient location. We could make it down to Alii drive with no problems. Safeway was also nearby. And the hosts recommended a great surfing lesson place, which was appreciated. However, the ant problem was simply out of control, even for Hawaii.

We stayed in this rental for five nights it was perfect for our family of 4, very clean with lots of space to spread out. The location is very convenient to downtown shops and grocery stores. I would definitely stay here again for the extra space and lower price!

This was a great vacation. Home was very clean and owner very nice. I will book again in the near future

We liked staying here. The property was a quick 10 min walk to Ali’i drive. It had a great jungle canopy that buffered it from the neighbors. It is a top floor rental so no noisy upstairs neighbors. Air conditioning in the bedrooms was a lifesaver. Snorkel gear was available for us to use. Would rent here again.
