Was a perfect little set up. The fold a nook was great, came with everything one person may need to make breakfast/lunch/dinner. Everything was easy and clean.The location was within walking distance from a great beach! I loved that the surrounding flora was keeping neighbors from looking in, made it feel very jungle and secluded at times.
Loved the area! Convenient parking and all the needed amenities available. Our host Isaac did a wonderful job very accomodating;sending a description of the place, our communal rules and also added special areas of interest.Would stay there again!
We loved staying here and Isaac was a wonderful host. The area is so perfect!
Pros: excellent location, small & adequate studioCons:- no table or chairs for seating, only sofa - studio is on ground floor with another unit above where you can hear everything upstairs: noisy footsteps, normal volume talking, dropping items on floor.
A simple studio apartment, not fussy just easygoing.
I would note the lack of AC. Not because you need it, the two ceiling fans keep it more than cool enough and are perfectly quiet. But there arent windows to close out some of the sound of the two frogs. But you are provided with a small white noise machine that helps. Youre within walking distance of two beaches, but it is walking in the bike lane. Sidewalks arent much of a thing. The speed limit is low, so thats not too bad. I recommend the southern beach, Kahalu'lu for swimming. But the Magic Sand beach has shade and a nice breeze if you just want to kick back and watch some body surfing.
Great location, relaxed atmosphere, lots of plant life outside, not too much noise, well-cleaned. Note that tiny coquí frogs outside often sing by night; parakeets in the backyard trees by day. Easy & responsive booking with host, all-around lovely spot!
Pictures are acurate. Has all the stuff you need for the stay at a much better price than comparable proerties I looked at. Pretty convenient location with easy access. Fans provided all the cooling we needed during our stay. If you are a light sleeper this may not be the spot for you. The main road, Alii drive is very close you you get plenty of road noise.There was also a bird that liked to perch outside the window at night and call. Windows are just screens with shutters so there is no blocking tese off. Room was well furnished. Host was nice and offered advice on all the things we asked about. Overall I would stay again.
No indication of the room # rented.
Cockroaches notice around the Microwave.
Great place, clean and comfortable. Everything you need to enjoy Kona the Big Island
Great property, perfect location. Walking distance from two of the top beaches in Kona. Short distance to restaurants and easy access to the rest of the island. Highly recommend.
I had hoped for an ocean view, and if you tipee-toe by the corner window you can see blue water, but other buildings block the way. The place was smaller than i had imagined, but had everything we needed. Good bed, couch, kitchen and PARKING. Isaac was great, and worked with us on any question or problem we had. Thanks, buddy!
A nice little place perfect for the wife and I. Issac was great with communication and the location was great. Wrapped up our last 2 days on the Big Island here. Love the hostel like "use what others leave behind" nature of the place. They had chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, coolers, and assortment of condiments we took advantage of!
My husband and I had a great time staying here! It's the perfect location. Close to so much. Quiet & relaxing at night
Spacious and comfortable for a studio. Owner very helpful. A good location for travel north and south. Traffic a bit loud
This was a great quiet base to explore Kailua-Kona, Captain Cook and the Coffee Coast. Isaac was very responsive and flexible to questions re check in time, and made sure I could enter the room when I arrived late. Highly recommend and many thanks!
Thank you Isaac for being such a great host! He had a clean unit and had all of the items we needed including beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear and even a cooler. Thanks again for a great stay!! Mahalo!
Location incredible, people incredible, a bit of everything for anyone and hands down the BEST neighborhood on Big Island. Isaac is beyond incredible as a host, always available and goes above and beyond the call of his job. This is a quiet neighborhood so if your looking to party at this place, not a good idea but there are a TON of spots to go party in walking and uber distance! Best!
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo by the beach.
What a gorgeous island and sweet little studio! It has everything you need: a fridge, freezer, hot plate to cook on, coffee machine, toaster, microwave, all the cookware, Tommy Bahama chairs, umbrellas, snorkel mask, fins, and more!! There is a little area where sunscreen, shampoo, toilet paper, etc, have been “donated” from previous guests; make sure to check it out if you need anything before going to the store. It’s a 15-minute walk to a perfect snorkeling spot and an easy drive to any restaurant or grocery store! You feel like you are in a rainforest with all the open windows and bird sounds! There isn't any AC, but the fans add to the natural ocean breeze to keep you cool! It is right by a main road, so you get sounds from the traffic that can get loud but it calms down later at night.
Isaac is accommodating, so helpful, and quick to respond to anything you may need!
I would come back in a heartbeat!
Isaac was a great host that’s was readily available when we had any questions. Magic Sands beach was my favorite beach during our visit and we were lucky enough to be able to walk there in 10 minutes. Would definitely stay again!
Perfect size for the two of us. Clean and tidy . Car parking out back. Had a range of beach chairs and umbrellas for his guests to use which was great. Will be back
Great little place to stay.
Simple studio apartment that had everything we needed.
Clean. Lots of loaner beach stuff like snorkeling gear, chairs, water shoes are available. Good vibes.
The location was a half mile from 2 nice beaches, the one being particularly good for snorkeling. Grocery store and dining options just a mile away. No a/c, but with the abundant windows, louvers for privacy and ceiling fans, temperature control was just fine and fresh air much appreciated. Cooking option with induction burner and needed accessory items like seasoning, oil, etc., was better than expected. A bit of noise from neighbors late one night was a negative, but tolerable.
perfect placement! cozy and comfy
Small but a nice place for two.
For my fellow female solo travelers, this is a safe stay! The neighborhood is nice, parking is private, and Isaac is trustworthy and super friendly. The windows are all screened in with shutters that can be closed for privacy, as well as lots of foliage that block the outside world from seeing in.
The "sharing is caring" table in the entry way is a brilliant idea, but everything you could possibly need is within a 15 minute drive. Also, it was exceptionally clean for a place so close to the beach.
Mahalo nui loa Isaac :)
