Liked: Communication
We like the fact that it was close by grocery stores, laundry on site, and there was private. The rooms were big. We didn’t like that it did not have air-conditioning, But we knew that, but it was shush hot. There were no windows, only screens that covered the space. Because of the heat, the ants were coming in, and these weren’t little ants. These were red ants. I traveled with my family and my kids were getting bitten during the night hours. The owner did spray the next day. But that shouldn’t be the case, this should’ve have been done prior to guess staying at his property and it should’ve been done by a professional company and not themselves. The property is old, it is not new and in it does have normal wear and tear. But it’s cleaned. You still need a vehicle to get around because the beach and other places are just too far. Overall, you need it vehicle in this island. And if you have a vehicle, you have choices or where to stay.

Great for the price
Lots of space, includes all of the necessities. Parking is a bit tight, and barking dogs at night made sleeping a bit rough (in addition to the humidity).

Breezy Lodging on Second Floor
Our host was very friendly, checked us in personally and showed us all the beach toys we could use--towels, cooler, umbrella, chairs, boogie boards, masks/snorkels. A lot of useful gear. He also suggested good snorkeling spots. The upstairs rooms had plenty of fans, was well-stocked for our stay, and we had so much room--three queen beds for just the two of us. The screened-in lanai was a cool spot for taking evening refreshments after sunset. Grocery shopping and "downtown" were just a short walk away. We enjoyed this spot as home base, but we were out playing day and night while we finished up our Kona stay. Thank you Marc for hosting us!
