This place was perfect for us—in town for 2 nights. Wanted a place close to airport and easy to get to sights. Great location. In the neighborhood, which I like, amongst the local folks. Felt safe and space provided everything that we needed. We used smoke equipment and towels for our venture. Great experience!

Real Bohemian vibe.live this place. It's roomy, airy and has a great lanai. Marc, the host is a joy. He was there making sure everything was perfect. If your looking for fancy and modern, this isn't it. It has the true Hawaiian vibe. I enjoyed my stay and look forward to staying here again.

Great for the price
Lots of space, includes all of the necessities. Parking is a bit tight, and barking dogs at night made sleeping a bit rough (in addition to the humidity).

Don’t miss it!
My two teen kids and I LOVED this place. It is beautiful and has a ton of character, we were so sad we o Lu got to stay for one night and really hope we can return someday. Hosts are exceptionally kind and interesting people, don’t miss a chance to chat with them a bit. I stayed at six places on my trip and this was definitely my favorite. Location is great too for walking into Kona town or getting to most other places n the island.

Perfect on a budget
The place is clean and well equipped. It's a convenient location although there are some noisy dogs in the neighborhood. Hawaii has become so probatively expensive, it was nice to find a place where a family can stay comfortably and have a host who is so generous with towels and snorkel equipment and other necessities.

Marc was friendly, communicative, and flexible. We were able to check in a little early and the property was immaculately clean when we arrived. It's a pretty no-nonsense place with few amenities (no air conditioning!) but it was safe and comfortable. Some noise overnight from neighbours (we had the windows open for the breeze) but nothing outrageous.

Comfortable stay with a retro vibe
The Flying Honu is a nice laid-back option for couples who aren’t into the resort scene. We appreciated the kitchen with a small stove where we could make a simple dinner before walking less than a mile down to Ali’i Drive. The location is a densely packed residential area, so there were some barking dogs and some traffic noise (not too close, but audible from the major roads nearby), so a head’s up for light sleepers. Mahalos to Marc for providing a convenient and comfortable stay.

Breezy Lodging on Second Floor
Our host was very friendly, checked us in personally and showed us all the beach toys we could use--towels, cooler, umbrella, chairs, boogie boards, masks/snorkels. A lot of useful gear. He also suggested good snorkeling spots. The upstairs rooms had plenty of fans, was well-stocked for our stay, and we had so much room--three queen beds for just the two of us. The screened-in lanai was a cool spot for taking evening refreshments after sunset. Grocery shopping and "downtown" were just a short walk away. We enjoyed this spot as home base, but we were out playing day and night while we finished up our Kona stay. Thank you Marc for hosting us!
