Wonderful place! Beautifully decorated and impeccably clean throughout. Really lovely common kitchen/dining/living room area. Bedrooms are cozy and comfy. Worked great for me, my college-aged daughter and teenaged son since my daughter and I shared the room with the adjoining twin beds. Sleeping configuration would also work well for a couple with young kids or 2 couples. Jim is an amazing host -- affable, helpful, really kind. We'd definitely stay here again.

Jim fixed or replaced an inoperable grinder and gave me a tour of the property the morning after we checked in. There’s an outdoor shower and a hot tub. There’s also a view of the ocean from the patio. It was perfect

Had a wonderful time staying at Kimo's Getaway with my parents. Jim was nice and welcoming and offered many amenities while we stayed. Really fabulous experience overall!

The property was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Walking to coffee, dinner, the beach, or local shopping was mostly easy. The street past the property can be quite busy and has no sidewalk.
The host provided towels and bleach gear for our use, which was very appreciated. WiFi was fast, linens were fresh, and there were enough fans to make sleeping very comfortable.
We’re already considering our next visit - thanks again!

Jim was great and mad our stay very enjoyable. The place is comfortable and well equipped. Kona Village is close (less than 5 minutes by car and a 15 minute walk).
The road is not conducive for walking (no sidewalk for a section of it), so you need to be nibble and keep your head on a swivel if you like to walk.
The location is very convenient - but the price you pay is noise from traffic. That is true anywhere and Kona is no exception.
Overall, we had a great time!

I am not even sure where to start! Jim was an incredible host; welcoming and made us feel right at home. The condo was very well stocked with all the comforts of home and was clean and well-appointed. The rooms were spacious and bright. We were happily surprised at the well-stocked beach supplies including chairs, towels, snorkel gear and boogie boards. We enjoy experiencing new places on foot so the location was awesome in both directions on Ali’i Drive to really feel a part of the action. We recommend this listing 100% and will always hold this vacation near and dear to our hearts. Mahalo Kimo!

We certainly enjoyed our one-night stay at Kimo’s Getaway. Jim met us at our arrival and made sure we had everything we needed. When we said we were getting ready to go on a snorkeling trip, he offered us towels from his supply, which we really appreciated. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well-equipped. Since we were only spending one night in Kona, it was rather difficult to find places that would accept a reservation for that length, so we were very grateful to find such a great option.

We had a great stay at Jim's lovely apartment. We enjoyed the lanai, the sunsets, the outdoor shower, the well stocked kitchen, to close access to Kailua Kona. It was spacious and comfortable. We found a route to walk to downtown that avoided the busy road (go up to the Tea Licious parking lot and at the other side of the parking lot you will see a pathway to a road where you can easily find a sidewalk on which to travel safely into the town. We enjoyed this walk.
One thing to note if you, like us, are new to the kind of sunscreen that is used on the Hawaiian islands--be very cautious with the spray sunscreen as it can make a big mess if you spray it on the lava stones near the outdoor shower. For Jim's sake, please learn from our mistake and do not spray suncreen inside the house, near the house, or near the outdoor shower.
Jim was a kind and responsive host. Thank you Jim for hosting us, for providing a beautiful place to enjoy the big island, and also those amazing mangoes.

Ideal location and beautiful view! This has all of the amenities of home, the host was great to work with, and the I've been to Hawaii several times and always had issues with bugs no matter how clean the location but I don't think we saw more than a couple of ants and a spider while we were there. Amazing! My son also especially enjoyed the "free range chickens" that roamed the area. A great place to stay!

We stayed just over two weeks, and it felt like home away from home. Jim was around (in the upstairs apartment) so if we ran out of essentials or needed anything, he was there to help!
