Wonderful getaway on the Big Island

We had a fantastic stay at Jim’s apartment on the Kona coast. The amenities of the property were as listed, and made for a very comfortable stay for our family of three adults staying on the Big Island. We especially enjoyed breakfast and coffee on the outdoor patio, and the spacious yard. Jim was a fantastic host, with great communication and was easily accessible as needed. I would recommend to any friends, and hope to be able to stay again.on a future visit to Hawaii!

Better than imagined

Jim was a beyond welcoming host- he met us after unloading our car and showed us all around the property. It’s well-stocked with beach gear and towels. The kitchen was fun to cook in and Jim had all of the necessary equipment on hand. The outdoor shower was a dream come true. My only regrets are not staying longer and forgetting to leave a six pack formUim :)
