This property was the perfect home base for our Big Island adventures! We especially enjoyed coffee each morning while sitting out on the front porch watching birds, geckos and the occasional neighborhood cat play amongst the plumeria and hibiscus. The yard is small but faces a private, gated drive and there is there is ample patio furniture.

This was a nice place to stay for our family of 4 (2 being teenagers). Everyone had space and AC units in their rooms. The property had nice places to sit outside and the furniture and beds were comfortable. Kitchen had what we needed to do the simple cooking we did. Plenty of beach towels in one of the bedroom closets. The place is located within a little neighborhood and there is little space around the house, that is my only negative, but that is also just the area. Overall it was a great place to stay!

We had a very nice stay in this property. It was very clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated the AC in every room. The location is wonderful with a short walk to a beach for a lovely sunset.
Communication was great! We had a slight hiccup checking in but the hosts were very responsive and had the issue resolved very quickly! We would definitely stay here again!

The good:
Quiet, close-in proximity to downtown Kona and beach areas. Somewhat walkable if you want to brave walking along a busy road.
Property manager was very responsive and quick acting
Lovely sitting area outside the living area
Great BBQ setup.
The not so good:
Nothing terrible about this place, but it needs some stepping up and the manager needs to spend some there to think about how 4-6 people using 3 bedrooms will use the place and furnish it accordingly. Having only 4 forks and 4 glasses in the kitchen cabinets is not ample. We were constantly washing dishes. The pillows felt like they were 20 years old. The good thing was that we told the manager they were unusable so they brought new ones over right away (that was good). That’s good but the place shouldn’t get to that point. No bathmats in the bathrooms. Washer soap and dryer sheets were used up in one wash load so we had to request more. Same for toilet paper. The furniture could use a deep clean.

Plenty of space for our family of five. Loved the binder with descriptions of all the local beaches. Beach supplies were a great perk. Great to be able to do laundry.

This home was comfortable for our group of 6. We enjoyed meals on the lanai. We used the beach umbrella and chairs. Mahalo!
