The suite was as described, which was the perfect size for the two of us. Everything was clean and comfortable. The location was beautiful, and the walk to the beach just took several minutes. I would highly recommend water shoes once you get to the beach, as the shore is very rocky. Paul was very communicative and responded very quickly to any questions we had. Such a beautiful place to stay and we will book again.
Had a great time. The accommodations where better than expected and our hosts where great. Would highly recommend and plan on returning at some time in the future if we can.
We loved our entire stay. What a beautiful location and comfortable home.
check-in very easy, communication with host seamless before and during. Kitchen is very well-stocked! Bed very comfortable. The yard and pool was even better than we had hoped - it's absolutely beautiful. Peaceful and quiet, very private. We LIVED on the shaded lanai looking out at the bay
Once again an amazing stay! This time stayed in the West unit! Both are great units and lovely location- beautiful hosts! Thank you so much Paul and Kay!
Beautiful view, pool, near by beach and suite. The location was spot on, near a gas station, pharmacy, great food options, etc. Paul was great, couldn't have asked for a better host. 5/5! We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and to make it short we were not tired of it by the end. Book the trip.
We had a pleasant and quiet stay. Our suite was one of two offered by the owner, but the other one wasn’t occupied, so we had the pool and the hot tub to ourselves. The location was convenient, offering a nice view of the bay and ocean, plus convenient access to a local grocery store and shopping center. The owner, who lives on the property, courteously checked in on our welfare, but was otherwise unobtrusive. We would be happy to return here another time.
Very clean and comfortable, close-in but with solitude, fantastic view. Overlooks Heeia Bay which is virtually a wildlife refuge. Paul has supplied several conveniences - beach chairs, beach towels, portable cooler, binoculars. No stove/oven, but we made do easily with the grill and microwave. Never turned on the air-conditioning - ceiling fans worked great. Delightful stay.
The setting facing the ocean with an expansive lawn and pool was fabulous. I fine location for a couple.
Splendid view of the bay and an amazing pool onsite
Great place. I would definitely stay here again.
Perfect little home pad for our stay on the Big Island. Paul was amazing with communication and the property was delightful. Pool and hot tub were just the extra touch to a yard that provided the most amazing views! Would stay again in a heartbeat!
Accommodation’s were top notch! Shopping and restaurants close by along with snorkeling and manta ray tours right around the corner. The pool and grounds were impressive with unbeatable views of H-bay. Well worth the price and Paul was a wonderful host!
We have stayed in the East and this time around, the West suite. No difference and the view and its surroundings are exactly the same and truly stunning.There is some needed updates of the kitchen utensils but this is not as important. Paul and Kay is a very thoughughtful host and we value their hospitality and accommodation. It is a perfect place to those who wish to claim peace and treasure God's wonderful creations. Thanks again, God bless and we will be back ....soon
This is our 4th year staying at Paul’s place. If you’re looking for the in town party scene this is not your place. If you are looking for peace and quiet with easy access to everything don’t pass this place by.
Great property with a view and a pool in a quiet neighborhood
Paul and Kay are very gracious hosts. Their property has a gorgeous view, a large fish shaped pool, and is immaculate. We will definitely stay again!
Just great. Everything went fantastic and Paul was a supper Host. We will be back fir sure
Property was clean and well stocked with needed beach, cooking and laundry supplies. Paul and Kay were gracious hosts and their normal routines on the second floor did not detract from our relaxing below in the apartment. Beach/bay access a very short walk on prepared trail. Rarely saw others on the beach; great snorkeling with at least a dozen types of fish. Swimming pool was very clean and available during daylight hours. Will return in the future.
This was our first trip to the Big Island and it didn't disappoint. Decided to stay somewhere on the Kona side and found this cute suite/apartment on VRBO. The place had all of the amenities we look for. Grill and laundry. The bonus was the pool and hot tub which we didn't use. Added bonus when we got here was the place was well stock with basics for the kitchen and gear for the beach. Place was clean, comfortable and quiet. Beach access was a few hundred feet away, but beach was a little rocky so getting out would probably have been a bit challenging, but about a quarter mile away was an easier entrance into Keahu Bay. Location was perfect, about 5 minutes to Kahalu'u Beach, where snorkeling was awesome and maybe 10-15 minutes to access trail or kayaking to Captain Cook's monument where the snorkeling was even more amazing. View from the patio was another bonus. Breakfast and dinner on the patio with the view was great! Easy checkin and owners were very responsive. We will hopefully be back.
We had a wonderful time here at Paul and Kay's home. The view, the pool, and the quiet neighborhood were all much appreciated and enjoyed. Great location!
You have everything you need (although a stove would have been nice) to make your meals. The electric skillet worked great for morning eggs and when not eating out, we used the outdoor grill for steaks and chicken.
We even became friends with the renter's next door and went out with them to a show in Kona!
While here, do not miss the Nighttime Manta Ray Snorkel! We booked with Sea Quest which is just a few minutes from the home. It was unbelievable!
Actually, when you are not out in the water with them, you can see the boats in the water from the rental.
We were sorry to leave.
We have been staying here every year for last three years and it is like your own private - ocean view, pool, quiet, close to lots of great beaches and sites.
Clean and comfortable, easy communication. Close to several beaches and stores.
All perfect except the 2nd neighbors we had. They complained about our talking ....at 6:00pm before dark???? Also complained when listening to a short music video on my phone...5pm.
Other than that, we'll be back. Paul is great .
This apartment clicked all the boxes for us. It was quiet and private with large pool and hot tub. Lots of outdoor space to enjoy the birds, flowers, sunshine and perfect view of the bay.
Small kitchen and large outdoor grill made it easy to cook most of our meals and enjoy eating alone on the patio. Comfortable bed and clean, modern bathroom for a relaxing stay. Location was perfect for visiting beaches, snorkel locations, cultural sites, and restaurants and markets. We would recommend and would visit again when traveling to Hawaii's Big island.
3rd year back! We love this place!! Paul and Kay are such wonderful, gracious hosts. See you in 2025!
The unit was very clean, and the owner was very prompt when we communicated. Great location and view to the ocean from the lanai. We will definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed watching surfers, kayakers, whale spouts, SUP, boats, crashing waves, and sunsets from our chaise lounges on the grass overlooking the bay. What a view! Quiet, residential neighborhood, yet close to a shopping center with grocery store, restaurants, etc. The unit was well-equipped — laundry room including detergent are a welcome feature. 10/10 would recommend!
