This is likely the best bang-for-buck in all of Kona! The apartment is clean, comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with essentials. Awesome spot, host is super accommodating, would highly recommend.
Great location, comfy bed and so much snorkeling gear and other beach equipment - we enjoyed our stay!

No lights for entry, people partying upstairs very loud all night. Just a crappy little make shift garage. Worst place I have ever rented. So glad only for one night. Door doesn't lock so stayed up all night.

The owners were so friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. The property had boogie boards, snorkel gear, and everything you need to enjoy the surrounding area. It was very clean, a prime location, and included everything we needed for an extended vacation such as cookware, towels, shower gear, etc. will stay again

Lovely little place for my first night in Hawaii. Perfect for access to walk around Kailua Kona reaching the airport by vehicle. Would definitely stay again.
Clean and convenient location for what we wanted for a 2 day stay. Great amenities for cooking and laundry. Only downside was noise from upstairs unit...but that's a "your miles may vary" situation. Overall a great place to stay!

This property is beautiful and well maintained. The hosts make you feel welcome, are always around to help, but let you be as if it's you're home. They are kind, generous and well informative. We plan to stay here for all our trips to HA.

The property manager was so kind! We needed to check in early and he accommodated us with no problem! The studio was clean and a very short drive from some great restaurants! We really appreciated the manager and the space!
Marc and Penny were gracious, friendly, helpful and accommodating hosts. Their little Ohana was just right for the two of us during our brief stay in Kona. We look forward to another stay at the Surf Hideaway in coming months.
