"Flew in for a funeral in Hawi. Just needed a place to sleep overnight before flight. Got there late, around 9pm after the funeral and going to “Laverne’s”(bar) which was less than 20 minutes away. Upon arrival I wasn’t sure which entrance to use. Owner’s son, I believe, came out to assist me get into the lockbox and into the unit. Maybe a little a little more specific instructions would help…. like: upon entering carport, unit is on the left front of house… up the stairs. Nevertheless, bed...

"Location is great, just 2 minute walk to the water and less than 10 for a swim. We enjoyed staying Kailau/Kona. The condo is well maintained as is the property. We had to call the property manager to reset the door code when we arrived ... it just took her 5 minutes to come and a few minutes to do it. This condo is small, particularly the kitchen (although the fridge is fullsize) and the bed is just okay, but it has a nice balcony to sit on. It worked well for us."

"Cozy studio O’hana with welcoming hosts. Check in was a breeze, parking is close to the entrance of the studio, and great location just a short walk to the beach. Studio was small but very clean, quiet, and stocked with essentials like soaps, beach towels and chairs, plates, silverware, Tupperware, and an electric hot plate with pot and pan. Would recommend to others and would personally return if I needed someplace for a short stay again. Mahalo! "

"This spot was just what we needed for our stay on the Kona side. The apartment felt super clean, was stocked with dishes and small appliances to make our meals, check-in instructions were very thorough, and the location was perfect for an easy stroll to the beach. The unit is small, but still felt very open and airy and had plenty of ocean breeze to stay cool. And our host Isaac was exceptional in his quick communication and he shared tons of great recommendations, too. It was such a nice touch...

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apparment is small, but so close to great snorkeling, that is easily within walking distance. You can see the ocean, but over the roof top of a near-by house. There are other rental properties surrounding you, so depending on who may be renting, that noise level could vary. Quiet during our stay and the host, Issacs was very helpful."

"We really enjoyed the placement of the property. It's within walking distance of 2 beaches and close driving distance to a shopping mall with all you could need. It was nice to come back to a calmer area at the end of the day after visiting the busier ones. I was glad we rented a vehicle to get around the island, but there is a convinent hourly bus that stops near the property and goes all the way to the Kona airport if you don't mind adjusting your schedule on it. The place was nice and clean,...

"This place is a real gem! Private deck overlooking the sea where whales are jumping, the waves crash into the pool and the landscaping is breathtaking. the pool is warm the closet hid a bed and there were tvs in the master bedroom and the living/dining room area. the dishwasher was dirty inside and some of the plates were not cleaned well but the views and quiet and ease of access to downtown and sight seeing was worth a few seconds of dish scrubbing. What a pleasure to stay in such a nice place...
