Get to the second floor there was no railing on the lower steps. Made it quite difficult to maneuver

This is a lovely quaint studio that has maximized space. While a little older, it was very clean and had everything we needed, including AC. No WD in the unit, but available on site. The host was so incredibly responsive, friendly, and communicative with our questions. Can’t beat the location!

The room was nothing fancy, but met all of our needs. Like other reviews stated, the kitchen sink was used as a bathroom sink for makeup, hair styling, brushing teeth… there was a mirror. But that didn’t bother us. Otherwise, all other supplies for living in this room for the week we were there, were great! There is a kitchenette with all necessary items. The grounds were beautiful with flowers and banana trees. We used the pool and it too, was clean and surrounded with lush greens. Lastly, this facility is at a great location! I walked up and down Ali’i street numerous times and this location was very accessible to restaurants, shopping, and beaches across the street. Overall, we all agreed we would stay there again if we plan another visit. Communication was well done too. We enjoyed this room and location.

My husband and I stayed here for 1 night before meeting more family in Waikoloa. It was the perfect location in Kona - easy walk to a bunch of restaurants, bars, downtown Kona attractions.
The overall description of the unit was pretty accurate - just very sparse in terms of amenities. Our main gripe with that was the lack of beach/pool towels. If they were there we couldn’t find them so we had to use the spare bath towel for the two of us.
The main reason we gave this a fairly poor review was the check in process. I’ll keep it short by saying I was so frustrated by the time we got into the unit I was seething. The lack of proper communication from the owner was astounding - for a period both my husband and I were considering that we had been scammed. But, eventually we got it and after that point everything was fine.

I started at this property for 13 nights. The size of the studio is perfect for one person, containing everything I needed for a comfortable stay, including a generous kitchenette and fridge-freezer.
The location is very convenient - right at the heart of Kailua, with restaurants, shopping, the farmers market, waterfront, and Kailua Pier all in easy walking distance.
The condo is surprisingly quiet, given its location right on Ali'i Drive.
And easy access to the pool and hot tub was the "icing on the cake" - a perfect way to round off each day.
The host, Jacinta, was clear, timely, and helpful in all her communications, and quick to respond to any questions. I would happily stay here again.

We only stayed for one night, but the unit was clean and comfortable. The lanai was pleasant. Unfortunately, we discovered at 6am that there was no hot water in the shower, and we were headed to the airport so there was no chance to address the issue.

My 17-year-old daughter and I had a wonderful night stay after a long day of airline travels. We arrived late, after 10pm, so it was just a quick stay for us, but if I am ever staying longer in Kona, I would definitely stay here again. The owner responded immediately when I called her late at night because I couldn’t open the door. It was completely my fault because I was trying to open the outside lockbox instead of the keypad on the door. I felt like very silly to realize my error, but Jacinta was so sweet. The room was perfect, with a beautiful view of the courtyard and quiet atmosphere. Just a wonderful beginning to our vacation on the big island. I highly recommend this property!!!

This is a decent place for a decent price. However, it's worn. The sliding glass door requires a young weight lifter to open. The kitchen floor needs replacement.
The worst thing for us was the plastic mattress cover which made you sweat and stick to the sheets all night, even though the temperature was in the room was comfortable.
Plastic mattress covers are rude!

Jacinta's place made for a wonderful stay in Kona. Although it's a small studio, it had everything we needed to be comfortable. It had a clean bed, kitchenette, bathroom with a shower, and an outdoor balcony with table and chairs. The location is close to everything in Kona. You can easily walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We would recommend staying here.

Very close to Downtown Kona. Only a short walk away. A very nice getaway to stay and relax. The patio was really nice to have breakfast and hear the ocean and wildlife.

We really enjoyed our time at this property. It was located close to the downtown restaurants and the ocean. It was quiet and we really enjoyed the beautiful garden that covered the entire grounds. Jacinta quicky and happily answered our questions.
