Awesome place!

My husband and I stayed here for 4 days and it was just what we were looking for! Great location and super clean, even had beach towels and chairs and a lovely beach just across the street as well as a poke place across from the street. ~5 min from the downtown area with shops and restaurants. Paul was great and made sure all our questions were answered, we’d love to stay here again

Great location

It was great! We had some hiccups with the place being ready when we arrived but got it sorted out. No elevator and this is on the 3rd floor so if your kiddos need to be carried this may not be ideal. However! It is a beautiful location and right across the street from the ocean. Fully equipped kitchen and washer and dryer.

Enjoyable stay near the beach

Overall it was an enjoyable stay. The place was clean, very well equipped and the owner was very responsive. The location was very central - close to a great beach for snorkeling, the stop for the free trolley and great sunsets (across the street). A couple of minor things - the A/C unit in the bedroom is loud (we preferred to sleep with the windows open and fans instead), the couch isn’t very comfortable and the sliding door to the lanai is hard to open. Everything else was great and we would stay here again.

Sunset Beach

We had an amazing trip. The condo was the perfect retreat in the evenings and when we got a little too much sun. The property is gorgeous. Breathtaking sunset views. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor barbecue and picnic area while enjoying time with family members. All the while, watching turtles come ashore. The bed is super comfortable, and everything that was needed for a comfortable trip was there. Thank you. We highly recommend it.

Great Hideaway at Ash Creek

Wendy was a superb host. She almost immediately emailed me back with the first question I sent and stayed on top of all of my other emails. She made booking the house easy and made us feel very welcome. The house is set in a beautiful secluded country road with spectacular views of the hills and country side. It was comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed staying there and would very much like to return again for a longer stay. Thank you Wendy!

Ian, thank you for the awesome review! I try! We are so blessed to have been able to keep our first home that we built back in the 1980s. We built it with our hammers, nails, an old truck and trailer. We enjoy being able to share with others. We were a young married couple over 40 years ago who knew how to work hard to make a better life. My husband was a teacher and coach in Leakey for eight years. And our two daughters were born while we lived there. You, your family, and four-legged friends know where we are now, so we hope you hurry back! Thanks for coming! Wendy

We enjoyed our stay here. It’s comfortable and has all the amenities you need to be comfortable and safe during your stay. The washer/dryer and beach supplies/towels were an added bonus! This property is on the third floor with only stairs. It’s a short walk but probably not best for anyone with mobility issues. Otherwise, it’s the perfect location nearby beaches and the city center with all the action, and still has quick access to the highway if you want to head south for more adventures. The host was lovely, responsive, and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

Close but not "too close"

The location of this unit was great for us traveling with a small child. We could easily drive to numerous beaches and restaurants, groceries, etc, but were not right in the middle of the downtown chaos making it very quiet at night. We enjoyed having a small beach right across the street to watch the sunset each evening. Traveling as a family we appreciated some of the extras like kids dishes in the kitchen, beach toys, and extra beach gear. Pull out couch is more comfortable than most, and the host was communicative.

The AC does not work. It was so hot in this unit, we could not even be in there. The slider in the living room does not close so all night long we heard cars going back and forth. The manager of the property was very communicative and let us out of our stay but he had said he knew that the unit needed updating and yet he kept it on the market without doing the updating first.

Great little condo across from the beach in Holualoa (south of Kailua-Kona)

I have never been to the Big Island, despite having family in Oahu and going there several times over the years. This condo is situated on Ali'i Drive and directly across the street from the beach access for this group of condos. The condo was comfortable and a great place to relax in the evenings after our numerous road trips to Hilo, Volcanoes National Park, and north to Waikoloa. Da Poke Shack is also across the street and super popular! Go right when they open to get great poke and other Hawaiian treats. The condo is a bit older and had wall unit air conditioning, but these held up fine in the evenings and we did not have to run them at night during our March stay (we did run the bedroom overhead fan on low). Overall a nice place to stay and central so you can explore the island. A few things to note: 1. We really enjoyed the little beach across the street, accessed by walking through the parking garage of the building and onto a nice grassy area. There is also an area with white sands to walk into the ocean. Great place to enjoy a beer and watch the sunset and late afternoon surfers. 2. Ali'i Drive is a main thoroughfare for visitors and is constantly busy. Keep that in mind while booking. Street traffic died down around 11pm and the bedroom is on the interior not streetside, which helped. 3. There are wild roosters all over the island. They like to crow. At 2am, at 4:30am, etc. LOL! Also a ton of birds and you will definitely hear them! We thought it was funny but you may want earplugs. Yes, they can wake you up. 4. This area was a great central point to visit other areas of the island. Note that everything is pretty far apart and be prepared for day trips with drives up to two+ hours, like for the Volcanoes Nat'l Park. We did the Saddle Road to Hilo with beautiful scenery between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, and drove past South Point with black sand beaches past that when visiting Volcanoes Nat'l Park. Waikoloa with all the resorts is like 47 minutes and was fun to have a drink at the Hilton near the dolphins. See it all and enjoy!

Cozy with Everything You Could Need

We enjoyed our stay. The kitchen had everything we could need, including children’s dishes. The bed was very comfortable. The in house laundry very handy. The TV had lots to choose from. We were close to a public beach access, a market, and the place had some beach items for us to borrow. The only thing that could have taken it above and beyond was a drain for the tub so we could bath our baby (we made due with the shower). Thank you for having us!
