The views are amazing from this quaint Hawaiian home!! The most time on the lanai in the morning watching for whales, it was very cool! Simmy was very informative of the island, and very nice! Thank you, Simmy!đâ¤ď¸đ

This house was wonderful for our family. The view from the porch is perfect, we enjoyed most meals and family time there. The host, Simmy, is very friendly and met us for checkin.
The house is well represented in the listing photos. Everything was clean. Bathrooms were spacious and well-stocked. Kitchen is clean and well-stocked. Bedrooms were comfortable, although we didnât use all the beds. There were plenty of beach towels, beach equipment etc. Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. The outdoor washer and dryer worked well and allowed our family of five to pack very light. Combo of AC and fans kept the house cool. We are still dreaming of our time on the Big Island and cannot wait to return!

We had the most amazing stay at Simmyâs place. The property was just as described with everything necessary to enjoy the beach or relax at the house. The lanai was perfect to enjoy the sunsets with a direct view to the ocean and cool down after a long day at the beach. And the vegetation surrounding the house was beautiful! We would definitely come and stay here again.

Simmy was the consumate host. The unit was very clean and quaintly decorated. Simmy was very responsive to every question or issue we had and was delightful to work with.
The second bedroom is decidedly disappointing, the window is very small with no view and no fan. The air conditioner is loud.
Also disappointing in both bedrooms was the cramming in of an extra bed that required the double bed to be pushed to the wall on one side, not fun for whoever slept on that side, we were two couples and neither had need for

Interesting older home. Lots of Hawaiiana items inside. Well stocked kitchen with dishes, pots, appliances. Lots of towels, washcloths. Bathrooms had nice updated showers. Good size washer and dryer in carport. Kitchen needs updating. Bedrooms crowded. Yard needs attention. But the best thing about the place is Simmy, the owner. She is a bundle of energy. She responded immediately with concerns. She is very environmentally conscious. It wasnât perfect but certainly adequate. Our only real complaint is the fee tacked on for air conditioning. In 32 years of annual visits to Kona, we have never used air conditioning, including summer visits. But again, Simmy is really a wonderful proprietor.

We stayed for a week to explore the island. We chose Simmyâs place for its proximity to the beaches we frequent.
First of all, Simmy is a very communicative and kind host. She allowed us a late check out since our flight home was scheduled so late in the day.
The home is just across the street from a private snorkeling spot and is walking distance to Magic Sands Beach and Kahaluâu Beach. The location couldnât be more ideal.
Unfortunately, while we stayed, there was an outbreak(?) of cockroaches. Simmy sprayed around the house for us on the second day, but it did little to remedy the issue. We chose not to cook at home so that was a bummer. We mostly ate out and limited our cooking to just simple breakfast meals.
The house is rather dark, with much of the windows covered and what not. If youâre like me and need bright, open home, youâll end up spending a lot of the time out of the home.

The lanai, view and locations make the home a 5. The inside is adequate and beds are comfy, but the lanai is the place to be - great for breakfast, sunsets, and a three. Minute walk to an outstanding snorkel beach - with tons of fish right off the beach. Great supplies with snorkels, chairs, towels, boogie boards and more to enjoy beautiful Kona and beyond!
