Bugs on the bed, pillows, dust layers on the ceiling fan, blinds not able to be closed all the way, chairs at/in kitchen/dining ripped on the seats, old, nasty, over-used. Dark inside, needs a refresher and a deep cleaning and could be much more welcoming and enjoyable. Supplied shampoo, conditioner, bathroom ok, water continuously dripped from faucet. Did not use washer or dryer. Parking under where we stayed.Neighborhood had a lot of garbage and broken down vehicles in lots nearby and viewable from windows. Close to the water, shopping and restaurants. Very easy to hear everything going on outside, Dark inside. Decent sitting area on outside porch.
We had a great stay! Unit is in a great location and within walking distance of many restaurants and stores. Overall experience while staying was relaxed and restful, we would definitely book again.
This is a totally comfortable apartment on the same property as the owners house. There's one bedroom with a queen bed and two double beds on a screened in porch. Everything is a bit on the worn and comfortable side. It's a great location, has a little kitchen and plenty of space. We would definitely stay again in Kona.
No comment as we had to cancel. Host communicatedâŠ. Until two days before when we were unsure about time of arrival. Daughter get sick and we had to cancel. Iâll be getting insurance next timeâŠ. For another place to rent! I visit 1-2 times a year and family lives in Paauillo
We were very disappointed with the pictures that did not reflect the room. It showed view of water, we were unable to view the water. The area looks shady, but was quiet. No TV with 2 kids was not the buisness. It was hot and muggy and no AC. It had roaches and was bite but something 2 times. I was grateful it was close to the airport.
Very clean. Plenty of space. Quiet. Easy to find. Easy to communicate with host. So many extras available. Super amazing rental. Would stay here again anytime I come back to Kona if itâs available.
The property could have sprayed the kitchen for cokroaches. I live in Hawaii understand bugs are normal. I know the small oned attach to everything and breed like mad. I wasn't happy to that in the kitchen had too many for my liking. Place was chill and large.
This was a one night stay for our family of 6 before flying home early the next morning. It suited us fine for the night. Communication with hosts was amazing and easy. Very clean, amply stocked kitchen, linens, etc. Beach stuff to borrow (snorkels etc) for those who stay longer than us. Residential neighborhood location is amazing if you want to walk to everything in town. No AC so can get warm, but 2 ceiling fans and 2 portable fans. There is one interior room with 1 bed, and another room with 2 beds. The room with 2 beds is basically a screened in porch area, and there is an adjacent smaller non-screened lanai with chairs that would have been nice to hang out on if we stayed longer. It had an ocean view peek over the downhill buildings. Despite the screens, it had a very outdoor feel which was fine for us but maybe not everyone, and a few interesting insect friends (7 inch praying mantis!) got escorted out. Kind of a funky place, fairly basic, well aged but comfortable dining chairs, lots of character, on a 2nd floor above a carport (where you can park). If you are mobility challenged the stairs might be an issue. Mahalo to our hosts!
Check-in was smooth and the owners were very responsive and helpful. The decor was flavorful. The lanai room was fun for my kids. A few minor complaints: the windows had only screens so it was a bit loud and hard to fall asleep (surprisingly more traffic than the small neighborhood location would suggest, the toaster lever needed to be held down to get it to work, and the clothes dryer was crazy loud (but it did work). The biggest complaint were the numerous spider webs and big spiders outside in the backyard. No spiders were seen inside. Would recommend.
It was lovely, clean, beautiful view of the water, very safe, free parking, a wonderful place to wine down and relax, great coffee and comfortable beds, and lots of fresh air, I would recommend coming here and unwinding from city life. They even have everything you need to go to the beach or surfing, we where greet and welcomed by the owner with smile and open arms, that made us feel right at home, thank you, I will be coming and recommend this place to all our friends and family.
