  we stayed eight nights and had a jammed pack schedule while we were in Hawaii. It was nice to come back after a long day to a place that felt like home. With the money we saved by not staying at a hotel we were able to splurge on activities and meals while still staying within our budget. since the studio is outfitted with nearly everything you can think of we were able to save room in our luggage to bring more gifts back home with us. Henry provides snorkel gear that you can take to many of the top rated beaches that he has listed for you. you won't find a Hotel with better service, location, accommodations, and price. We can't wait to come back!

  My husband and I really liked this place. It was very clean, the area seemed safe, and the owner was very friendly and super helpful. The distance from the condo to Captain Cook, good restaurants, and other attractions was not bad at all. We only stayed two nights, and unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to use the hot tub that's just steps outside the sliding glass door. We got in later both nights and there is a 9 or 9:30 curfew on using it. We did take advantage of borrowing the snorkel gear that the owner has out. That saved us from renting the equipment, so that was great. Had several different options and sizes. All in all, I'd recommend this place to any couple looking for a clean place to stay near Kona. And the one-bedroom next door was huge and super nice too, if you're bringing a family or staying for a longer time.

  What a fantastic find! The studio was a perfect base for our all-too short trip to the Big Island to celebrate my birthday. From daily breakfast on the private lanai, with a stunning view, to the warm hospitality of Henry and Marusya, we could not have found anything better. Henry has thought everything! A fully equipped kitchen, beach chairs, towels, snorkel gear, you name it, even reusable grocery bags! The studio is wonderfully maintained, clean, and exactly as depicted in the listing. The location was perfect - minutes from town, the beaches and excellent snorkeling spots, but quiet and removed. It was so lovely to share coffee in the morning with only the sounds of the birds and ocean beyond. We would recommend this property without hesitation! We hope to return to the island soon and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else! Thank you, Henry and Marusya, for a wonderful stay! Mahalo, Patty and Lucas

  If you are looking for a comfortable, clean, quiet, place to stay, this is it. I loved the views, the garden, the cleanliness, the peace and quiet. I loved listening to the ocean when I went to sleep. I thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub! I will go back. I recommend this place to anyone.

  Great accommodation, very comfortable. Amazing view, with hot tub and lanai/garden. We were going to buy beach chairs but Henry provides everything you need for a beach outing. The charming studio had everything we needed for making a quick meal. The place is central for exploring the whole west coast. Four nights were too short a time. We would like to visit Henry and Marusya again. They were so helpful and friendly. Chris and Jacquie Sidney, B.C.

  Thank you, We enjoyed staying in your studio very much. We sure appreciated using the snorkel gear, cooler, beach chairs, beach bag and even the beach towels. I thought we would have to buy or rent all that gear and using what you supplied was a treat. The Kailua-Kona area is wonderful and being in the cooler air on the hill made using the hot tub so enjoyable. The area was quiet and we felt like residents instead of visitors. I would recommend your place to anyone. PS: The hiking/biking trail nearby, which crosses the hillside, was a wonderful place to see birds and a plus to your location.

  A great studio with beautiful ocean and sunset view. The unit is stocked with all the amenities for the beach, information about Kona and comforts of a hotel. This property makes a comfortable base being situated in a convenient location to the main town and excellent snorkeling spots nearby. Henry makes a wonderful host. He is very friendly, accommodating and knowledgable, offering great tips about the Big Island. Overall we would highly recommend this great place and would stay here again when we return.

  We arrived in Kona and found our car reservation had fallen through, Got to Henry's and he immediately went to work on the problem and found us a rental car for 1/3 of the price we would pay the big companies. While he was doing this he also fed us and soothed our nerves. He is a prince among men. So very very helpful, sincere and compassionate. He is extremely interested in his guests and welcomes all into his home as well as being very approachable and willing to share his knowledge of the area with you. The suite is superb. Everything you could want from snorkel equipment, boogie boards, beach towels, beach chairs, coolers you name it, it's here. The suite is impeccably clean, beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The sunset view is beautiful and the location is ideal. The tv has more channels than there is stars in the night sky. A great BBQ with back up propane. Suffice it to say I reccomend without reservation the studio (pardon the pun). If we are ever back in Kona this is where we'll be. Thank you Henry. Craig & Joanne

  My sister & I stayed here for a few nights. The place is very clean, situated on a beautiful hill overlooking the surroundings. There's a cute balcony outside with some vegetables & flower beds. There is also boogie boarding gear avail, which was a great use at the magic sands beach, very close by. We loved our stay here & would def come back again. The owner was super friendly & nice.
