This property has all the amenities we needed during our stay and the host is very attentive. We appreciated the snorkeling items, the beach chairs and umbrella.
We needed a place to stay in Kona after arriving at 8 pm. The rental was great for our family with two adult kids. Host was very friendly and communicated well.
The open space and gentle breezes coming through the apt. were wonderful. The beds were very comfortable also. The kitchen is well equipped. The sitting areas outside and in were comfortable also. We were very pleased with our stay.

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!
Such a great location. Spacious, clean, well appointed. Host was super nice and accommodating. Would certainly stay there again.

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.

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).
What a fantastic experience. Host was entirely accommodating and friendly. Property was convenient and quaint. It was a perfect experience for three friends topping off their island visit.
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.
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.
