Great place

Very clean and comfortable, close-in but with solitude, fantastic view. Overlooks Heeia Bay which is virtually a wildlife refuge. Paul has supplied several conveniences - beach chairs, beach towels, portable cooler, binoculars. No stove/oven, but we made do easily with the grill and microwave. Never turned on the air-conditioning - ceiling fans worked great. Delightful stay.

Accommodation’s were top notch! Shopping and restaurants close by along with snorkeling and manta ray tours right around the corner. The pool and grounds were impressive with unbeatable views of H-bay. Well worth the price and Paul was a wonderful host!

Blissful and Peaceful

We have stayed in the East and this time around, the West suite. No difference and the view and its surroundings are exactly the same and truly stunning.There is some needed updates of the kitchen utensils but this is not as important. Paul and Kay is a very thoughughtful host and we value their hospitality and accommodation. It is a perfect place to those who wish to claim peace and treasure God's wonderful creations. Thanks again, God bless and we will be back ....soon

Oceanfront Apartment in Quiet Neighborhood

Property was clean and well stocked with needed beach, cooking and laundry supplies. Paul and Kay were gracious hosts and their normal routines on the second floor did not detract from our relaxing below in the apartment. Beach/bay access a very short walk on prepared trail. Rarely saw others on the beach; great snorkeling with at least a dozen types of fish. Swimming pool was very clean and available during daylight hours. Will return in the future.

Perfect location

This was our first trip to the Big Island and it didn't disappoint. Decided to stay somewhere on the Kona side and found this cute suite/apartment on VRBO. The place had all of the amenities we look for. Grill and laundry. The bonus was the pool and hot tub which we didn't use. Added bonus when we got here was the place was well stock with basics for the kitchen and gear for the beach. Place was clean, comfortable and quiet. Beach access was a few hundred feet away, but beach was a little rocky so getting out would probably have been a bit challenging, but about a quarter mile away was an easier entrance into Keahu Bay. Location was perfect, about 5 minutes to Kahalu'u Beach, where snorkeling was awesome and maybe 10-15 minutes to access trail or kayaking to Captain Cook's monument where the snorkeling was even more amazing. View from the patio was another bonus. Breakfast and dinner on the patio with the view was great! Easy checkin and owners were very responsive. We will hopefully be back.

Beautiful Escape

We had a wonderful time here at Paul and Kay's home. The view, the pool, and the quiet neighborhood were all much appreciated and enjoyed. Great location! You have everything you need (although a stove would have been nice) to make your meals. The electric skillet worked great for morning eggs and when not eating out, we used the outdoor grill for steaks and chicken. We even became friends with the renter's next door and went out with them to a show in Kona! While here, do not miss the Nighttime Manta Ray Snorkel! We booked with Sea Quest which is just a few minutes from the home. It was unbelievable! Actually, when you are not out in the water with them, you can see the boats in the water from the rental. We were sorry to leave.

Clicked all the boxes

This apartment clicked all the boxes for us. It was quiet and private with large pool and hot tub. Lots of outdoor space to enjoy the birds, flowers, sunshine and perfect view of the bay. Small kitchen and large outdoor grill made it easy to cook most of our meals and enjoy eating alone on the patio. Comfortable bed and clean, modern bathroom for a relaxing stay. Location was perfect for visiting beaches, snorkel locations, cultural sites, and restaurants and markets. We would recommend and would visit again when traveling to Hawaii's Big island.

Paradise 🌴

We enjoyed watching surfers, kayakers, whale spouts, SUP, boats, crashing waves, and sunsets from our chaise lounges on the grass overlooking the bay. What a view! Quiet, residential neighborhood, yet close to a shopping center with grocery store, restaurants, etc. The unit was well-equipped — laundry room including detergent are a welcome feature. 10/10 would recommend!

Peaceful and relaxing

Very quiet and convenient spot. It was an easy base to go exploring (with our rental vehicle) as well as a lovely spot to relax. There was lots of good snorkelling spots within a half hour drive. Paul was extremely helpful but also gave us our privacy. No other guests were there so we had the pool to ourselves. The kitchenette was perfect as we had already been travelling for a week so had had enough of eating out for all our meals. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a quiet private place to base out of. It was exactly what we needed before heading back home.

Great place

We had not been to the Big Island in years.Trying to figure out where to stay was a bit overwhelming. Thinking about location, we were very happy with the convenience of this place. The pictures of the residence were accurate and we enjoyes hearing and seeing the ocean from the bedroom. Paul and Kay were very responsive and even though we did not spend a lot of time in the rental, we appreciated both the welcome and the saying our goodbyes to this very lovely couple.
