Nice, no TV, no A/C (not needed in Nov).
No comment as we had to cancel. Host communicated…. Until two days before when we were unsure about time of arrival. Daughter get sick and we had to cancel. I’ll be getting insurance next time…. For another place to rent! I visit 1-2 times a year and family lives in Paauillo
Clean room, and great location
We were very disappointed with the pictures that did not reflect the room. It showed view of water, we were unable to view the water. The area looks shady, but was quiet. No TV with 2 kids was not the buisness. It was hot and muggy and no AC. It had roaches and was bite but something 2 times. I was grateful it was close to the airport.
Great location near restaurants, shops, and the diving marina. Would absolutely book here again. Thx
Very clean. Plenty of space. Quiet. Easy to find. Easy to communicate with host. So many extras available. Super amazing rental. Would stay here again anytime I come back to Kona if it’s available.
Great place for a one night stay before heading out to other parts of the island.
Really cute spot. Pleasant layout. Nice decor. I really enjoyed it.
The property could have sprayed the kitchen for cokroaches. I live in Hawaii understand bugs are normal. I know the small oned attach to everything and breed like mad. I wasn't happy to that in the kitchen had too many for my liking. Place was chill and large.
Great stay in the middle of town, easy walk to the ocean. Quick drive to multiple world class snorkeling sites. We loved sleeping on the lanai.
This was a one night stay for our family of 6 before flying home early the next morning. It suited us fine for the night. Communication with hosts was amazing and easy. Very clean, amply stocked kitchen, linens, etc. Beach stuff to borrow (snorkels etc) for those who stay longer than us. Residential neighborhood location is amazing if you want to walk to everything in town. No AC so can get warm, but 2 ceiling fans and 2 portable fans. There is one interior room with 1 bed, and another room with 2 beds. The room with 2 beds is basically a screened in porch area, and there is an adjacent smaller non-screened lanai with chairs that would have been nice to hang out on if we stayed longer. It had an ocean view peek over the downhill buildings. Despite the screens, it had a very outdoor feel which was fine for us but maybe not everyone, and a few interesting insect friends (7 inch praying mantis!) got escorted out. Kind of a funky place, fairly basic, well aged but comfortable dining chairs, lots of character, on a 2nd floor above a carport (where you can park). If you are mobility challenged the stairs might be an issue. Mahalo to our hosts!
Check-in was smooth and the owners were very responsive and helpful. The decor was flavorful. The lanai room was fun for my kids. A few minor complaints: the windows had only screens so it was a bit loud and hard to fall asleep (surprisingly more traffic than the small neighborhood location would suggest, the toaster lever needed to be held down to get it to work, and the clothes dryer was crazy loud (but it did work). The biggest complaint were the numerous spider webs and big spiders outside in the backyard. No spiders were seen inside. Would recommend.
It was lovely, clean, beautiful view of the water, very safe, free parking, a wonderful place to wine down and relax, great coffee and comfortable beds, and lots of fresh air, I would recommend coming here and unwinding from city life. They even have everything you need to go to the beach or surfing, we where greet and welcomed by the owner with smile and open arms, that made us feel right at home, thank you, I will be coming and recommend this place to all our friends and family.
Very confortable centrally located place.
Nice and tidy space. Very accommodating host! Just what we needed
Cozy and fun layout. Old school Ohana type cabin setting close to downtown and easy access. Would totally book again!
Amazing location and well maintained property. Easy parking and host was very amenable to making the stay the best it could be.
The apartment was great. More than met our expectations.
Our second visit and will return soon for our third. We highly recommend this casual location.
Great location. Everything we needed.
Clean. Simple. Cozy. Convenient.
Quiet little place with a beautiful garden. Very close to a white clean sand beach. The owners are very nice and helpful with things to do. The place was very nice and clean. I would recommend a stay here
We had everything we needed and were happy with our stay. Having a place to park off-street was a very nice perk, especially since the unit is so close to everything that we just left the car there and walked everywhere. Looking forward to our next visit to Kona!
If you are looking for a comfortable and affordable place look no further. While it may be a few blocks away from the beach it is a great place to stay. Anybody offering a negative review would be nitpicking. As an 8-year owner/host of a short-term rental I can attest to this place being top notch. It is very well provisioned with kitchen needs including lots of condiments, spices, etc. There is a great variety of sports gear and a washer and dryer. You truly could not do better.
Comfortable beds and friendly hosts! Thank you for the Aloha spirit!!
So.for my first experience i definitely recommend. Just know their isnt a TV in sight. Which is a good thing. Go outside explore and have fun. Everythings close by.
