My partner and I felt like we really lucked out with this cottage! Location was conveniently close to Kona Airport, Kailua-Kona, and the west coastline. We had all amenities to enjoy our vacation activities, like beach towels, chairs and umbrella, and snorkeling gear. Check-in was very simple, and Andrew was very communicative and responsive to all our questions. Much appreciation to the host for this cottage!
Our stay at The Kona Garden Studio Ohana was nothing short of delightful! This charming and cozy space made our visit to the island of Hawaii truly special. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The apartment was impeccably clean, thoughtfully stocked, and equipped with everything we needed for our weeklong stay. There was ample closet space and convenient under-bed storage, keeping all of our belongings organized.The evenings cooled down beautifully, and with the ceiling fans, the temperature was absolutely perfect—especially important for my husband, who doesn’t do well with heat at night. And the bed? Pure bliss! Both of us slept soundly every night. Sitting outside on the lanai, listening to the birds and frogs, was a peaceful way to unwind.What truly set this stay apart, though, were our hosts, Erin and Elias. If we could give them and their cozy apartment 10 out of 5 stars, we would! They welcomed us warmly and even shared fresh fruit from their backyard—a wonderful touch. Their kindness and hospitality made us feel like more than just guests. They were always quick to greet us with a friendly wave and offered fantastic tips on where to go and what to see.Their apartment was exactly as described, and the pictures were spot on. We absolutely loved our stay, and if we’re lucky enough to return to the Big Island, this will be our go-to place once again!
Jenne's home is all as described and more. It is a special place in a lovely and convenient area. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, the bathrooms and showers were excellent, and the washer and dryer were brand new. The location was perfect. We drove all over the island and it helped to be midway between the north shore of Kona and Captain Cook. Plus, being close to the airport and a number of great restaurants (Umeke's! Willie's Hot Chicken!) and shops (Island Naturals, Target, Costco, etc...) and so much more was helpful. Debi was terrific and so helpful. She made some delicious treats for our son for his graduation from the U of H which was so thoughtful. She also alerted us when the volcano was starting to erupt and even lent us her binoculars when we drove back to the volcano at night! Listening to the frogs and birds and other sounds at night was incredible. That is a gift of the island! (I did see a big container of ear plugs just in case that's not your thing.)We were the first guests from this platform but there are many great reviews on a different platform, so you should not hesitate to book with Jenne. There were some steps to go up to the place, just so you're aware. Jenne and Debi definitely practice Aloha and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome so they can enjoy their vacation. Thank you for this!
Great property, excellent location, safe neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay, shopping is from 10 minutes to 20 minutes away pending what you’re shopping for. The hot tub was a nice touch. Bed was comfortable. The kitchen has plenty dishes, pots and pans and utensils. The homeowners are amazing people and always asked if we needed anything. I appreciated that. If we are ever in the area, we will rent this home again
The location of this property was perfect. The amenities of Kona are easily accessible but it's quiet and relaxing, listening to the sounds of frogs and birds. The facilities are as described, very comfortable for 1 or 2 people. Furnishings are minimal but adequate, as is the kitchen. I would stay here again.
I had such a wonderful experience at this property! The home was clean, beautifully maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was peaceful and tucked away in the hills, offering quiet mornings and amazing views—yet still close enough to town and beaches when I wanted to explore.The host was kind, communicative, and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the home that made it feel welcoming. It was the perfect spot to unwind and recharge after long days adventuring around the island.I’d absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-appointed stay on the Big Island!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this lovely property! From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly responsive and helpful—answering questions quickly and making sure everything was perfect for our arrival. His warm hospitality truly made a difference.The home itself was spotless—very clean and well-maintained, which we really appreciated. It had a distant ocean view that made mornings and evenings feel extra peaceful and relaxing. Sipping coffee on the lanai in the early morning or winding down at sunset, became our favorite part of each day.Another big plus was the location, only 6-7 minutes from the airport and conveniently located for access to Kailua Kona and island attractions.
