We had a great time, and the hosts were super warm and welcoming. They have a ton of beach gear to borrow, and they made us delicious banana bread! Minutes away from beaches and downtown Kona.

This was a wonderful studio apartment and the hosts were awesome! Thank you!!
Everything we needed was provided for and then some. We felt like we were family with how every little detail was thought of.
I really enjoyed my stay here! Judy and Michael were very kind, and the pups were adorable. Great location, beautiful yard, 10/10 would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Enjoyed the garden, the intimacy, the ability to cook despite the semblance of a simple bedroom, the peaceful mood of the neighborhood, the kindness and warm welcome of the host.
Aloha , About property? Super super cozy and clean. Garden has fruits and plant's ,close to most important attractions in Kona. Close to coffee farms, close to the beach🌴. You can’t expect more
About Judy and Michael . Just amazing people. They always there if you need them but you don’t feel they are there. Really nice talks with both Can’t wait to see you again. Thank you so much to make our trip better than we even think. Mahalo
Judy and Michael were so friendly, welcoming, and quick to accommodate our needs. They provided snorkeling equipment, beach chairs, etc that was so helpful!
Michael and Judy were consummate hosts! The room was as pictured and came with home-y touches including towels, beach chairs, and bags for the beach. Additionally, they treated us like welcomed guests with fresh banana bread, sourdough, and fruits (including pineapples, avocados, papayas, and bananas!) from their yard. We had a lovely time chatting with them, while at the same time, being afforded privacy throughout our 5-night stay. It was the best of both worlds. We would 100% stay with them again when traveling back to the Big Island! Mahalo!
We enjoyed our stay in this happy place! The accommodations were clean, there was fresh fruit in a bowl and a mini-loaf of banana bread in the fridge waiting for us upon arrival. Judy and Michael gave us all the private space we needed but were also helpful when we had questions. There was all sorts of beach equipment available to us, a carport for covered parking, and a sitting area just outside our door for morning coffee and birdwatching.
We accidentally left some expensive chocolate covered macadamia nuts in the fridge. I contacted Micheal and he sent them to us immediately. That's going above and beyond!
Michael and Judy are wonderful hosts, very accommodating and responsive to every need. Very nice property and well situated. The efficiency has everything you will need and is quiet and by itself, overlooking a very nice garden. We highly recommend it!
Comfortable lodgings with lots of extras. Very clean and quiet. Close to amenities. Hosts were very friendly and informative. Excellent value and an enjoyable stay.
Judy & Michael are the best hosts. Beautiful property. Safe and quite place to rest your head. Looking forward to our next stay there. Close drive to eating, beach and town. Place was clean and the homemade banana bread was amazing along with all the nice fruit. The two small dogs are very friendly. Felt at home.
This adorable place was more than what we expected. We were welcomed so kindly by Judy, Michael, and the cutie dogs. We felt at home and was a place so clean, peaceful, and has all the extra necessities. We loved our homemade banana bread, fruits, and hearing the birds in the morning. The garden is beautiful. The house is conveniently located near restaurants, beaches, & shopping area. It is in a safe and quiet neighborhood. We wish we could have stayed longer for vacation but we are looking forward to come back again.
Judy and Michael and their cute puppies were so very friendly and accommodating. Sometimes we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. It was also nice to visit with them. Our stay on the island was just more relaxing and carefree because of our stay in their home away from home.

While it had everything I needed and then some it was not as private as I had expected. Also be aware of the stairs you will need to go up and down every time you come/go.

This is a nice unit with a private entrance in the lower level of a private home. Beautiful yard, nice hosts and friendly dogs. They have water gear to use such as beach chairs, boogy boards, masks/snorkels, etc. The only downside is there is no air conditioning in the unit. There is a ceiling fan and multiple windows that open however.

Judy and Michael are excellent and kind hosts who did everything they could to make our stay pleasant. They had beach and snorkel gear, fresh fruit from their backyard (bananas and mangos), and coffee and cold drinks available upon our arrival.
The ohana flat has outdoor chairs that look out on their beautiful and quiet backyard (great for morning coffee and evening cocktail).
While the space is not large, it is perfect for a couple, and well-situated between Kailua and Kealakekua. Very convenient!

This was my second stay here and it was great. The suite was peaceful, clean, and had great views of the backyard. Location was great close to the beach. Our hosts were amazing as usual as well. Would love to come again in the future.

We loved our stay here for 3 nights! It’s very clean and comfortable and there are so many lovely touches - delicious banana bread, fresh fruit, snorkeling and beach equipment, etc. The location is perfect for going to downtown Kona. We will definitely be back here the next time we’re in Kona!

Judy and Michael are amazing host, our stay was exceptional. They had extra fruit to share and great suggestions for places to visit or stop by. These two are very humble and kind people. If you choose their property you will be pleasantly impressed.
