Vicki was the best host I’ve ever experienced in my time of renting vacation homes. Communication was top notch. The home was immaculate and she left lots of tips for first time visitors. I really appreciated the ear plugs for the traffic noise outside. Absolutely anything wakes me up and I was able to sleep soundly through the night. I highly recommend.

The place was beautiful and very clean. House was very organized and had everything that you will need . The host was very friendly and helpful she even let me check in early because my flight was early morning. I really enjoyed my stay here and I recommend it for sure. I stayed for 4 nights and I was able to use the beach chairs that she provides and all other equipment. I really liked the place.

This place had everything that you would need and want, down to coloring book and color pencils for my 6-year-old to all of the amenities. No better way to say it, home away from home.

Fantastic base camp to see the island from. Pool area ideal for catching amazing sunsets!
Great spot to bypass the slower downtown Kona traffic to head out and explore the island's amazing beaches and snorkeling. At the same time, only a 1 mile walk to Bongo Bens (Kona's best breakfast) and the beginning of downtowns boardwalk and shops.
