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.
The property is just as listed with a very comfortable deck for chilling. We loved the location that is walking distance from the beach, shopping, restaurants and coffee shops. They also have beach items available and free like chairs and snorkels.
What a cool find. The place has a sweet vibe for sure. Large apartment with backyard and cool amenities. Owner was easy to work with and very welcoming. Would visit again!
Cute decoration/set-up, comfortable beds, nice towels, great additional amenities (snorkeling gear, beach towels, etc.), pleasant & helpful owners. Definitely recommend and would stay here again!
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.
We had a cozy stay at an apartment above a garage, where we parked our rental car. We knew we were renting in a neighborhood and not in a hotel so there are pros and cons to that. However, the landlords were really friendly and let us borrow boogie boards, masks, and snorkels, and use the washing machine. Overall, it was a great location to do things all around the island and we had a pleasant stay.

Original Hawaiian design. The place was amazing. Close to everything in town. Hosts were friendly and communicative. Easy check-in and check out. Highly recommended will definitely book again if it’s available. Thanks so much.
Nice place to stay with plenty of space. Great location to restaurants in Kona. Had a parking spot which was awesome. Marc was friendly and welcoming. Cooked dinner in the kitchen which was good too.
