Lori is a fantastic host. Great communication and so welcoming. The house is immaculate and perfectly appointed. I loved my mornings on the lanai waking up with the sun - and birds. The house is at the perfect place between Kona and the Kohala coast beaches. It is our second time renting from Lori and we hope there will be a third.

Beautiful
The property was clean & cozy. Lori & Amanda were very helpful since this was our first trip to Hawaii. There were fresh baked brownies in the fridge for myself, my husband & our adult son when we got there. They had suggestions for everything from grocery stores for me to get my dairy free food items to what each beach is best for and restaurants. The lanai and yard with the hammock had perfect views of the ocean & sunsets. We loved it & would stay here again

Great location for a relaxing girls' trip
Beautiful location overlooking the ocean, with stunning sunsets every evening. Comfortable beds, nice kitchenette and living room. Large covered lanai was a great place to hang out, even if it was raining. The hosts were great, even left us a "welcome" goodie (yum!).

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay at Lori and Amanda’s ohana. We arrived to fresh banana bread and a welcome note. Apartment is nicely located for easy access to all parts of island. Nice quiet neighborhood with roosters and cocqui frogs serenading you! Great communication from host. Apartment has everything you need and more. There was even a Christmas tree for the holidays! We loved sitting on the lanai enjoying the breeze. We would certainly come again. Highly recommend!

Nice!!!
The condo was clean, neat, and well stocked with necessary utensils. we were met by the owners daughter, who was very nice and polite. The location was pretty close to necessary needs and activities. You do need a car to get around, but be prepared to pay excessive parking fees for visits to downtown Kailua unless you go very early. the area was fun to be active by the ocean and a lovely island. I would highly recommend this condo for small groups, especially for a quiet stay.

Best Ever!!
Lori is THE BEST host we have EVER had! When I communicated to Lori about our flight troubles and we wouldn't arrive until night-time, she offered to pick up a few groceries for us. After I declined her very nice offer, Lori put some homemade papaya bread and orange juice in our refrigerator so that we could have something for breakfast when we woke up. That along with a cup of coffee, compliments of Lori, on our beautiful lanai was the perfect way to destress after a bad airport experience. Obviously, Lori truly cares about her guests. And her place is amazing! The bed was so comfortable, as was the hammock! Everything was spotless and in perfect condition. If we go back to the Big Island, we will definitely stay there again. Very highly recommend!

Great home base
Stayed with older teenager, close to a variety of beaches and a short drive to town for supplies The unit came with everything you need to hit the beach. Lori was an excellent host, even ensuring a first great morning with supplies after a late night flight arrival. We loved to use the lanai for grilling and socializing in the evening.

Wonderful Stay in Kona
We had a lovely stay and appreciated both the spacious apartment, beautiful lanai and view along with. Lori's gracious hosting. The apartment was well stocked with all that we needed for beach outings and we were greeted with delicious home made papaya bread. When I left a few items at the house, Lori made sure that I got them back. Mahalo!

Beautiful home, perfect location
The home is beautiful, and perfectly located high on the hill. The sunset views are gorgeous, and the hammock on the property got a lot of use. The kitchenette is perfect for preparing breakfast and simple meals to enjoy on the very large lanai. Coqui frogs will serenade you at night, and free roaming chickens visit throughout the morning hours. There are plenty of towels and beach chairs to borrow for adventures.

Delightful apartment in Kona
The apartment is large, very comfortable with lots of details (beach equipment, lots of towels, appliances, etc). Lori, our host, was very welcoming and accomodating. The apartment is located in a residential community with a nice ocean view and is 10 minutes from the airport, about 15 minutes from Kona town. We had a lovely stay!

Great place in an ideal location
Other reviews have already talked about the property itself, which was excellent. I want to add that the location was unexpectedly perfect.
I originally picked the property because we'd be a severely jetlagged family staggering off the plane. It was a quick 10 minute drive up the hill, but it turned out the location was also ideal. If you're visiting the Kona area, you'll probably be moving around, visiting multiple beaches and sites and such. This was a good central home base.
The extra altitude made all the difference in terms of heat. We left all the windows open the whole time, and the area was really quiet.
Yep, there are coqui frogs, but they're everywhere, and honestly don't bother us. They turn into white noise from 9pm to 2am. I'll take coqui frogs over the 5am sparrows back home any day.

We loved having a place big enough for all of us. The area is peaceful and being higher up the mountain meant it was cool even on summer days. Lori is a fantastic host. If we come back to Kona, we would stay here again.

Thank you for a wonderful stay for our 2 1/2 weeks on the Big Island. The bed and whole Ohana was so comfortable. Everything was as pictured. The Lanai is expansive and a peaceful place to unwind over dinner and a glass of wine and sunset. We appreciate your hospitality and nice beach gear (Tommy Bahama chairs, beach umbrella, boogey boards, and cooler). Mahalo!

オーナーについて
オーナー : Lori Porter
I retired to the Big Island after almost 24 years working as a Foreign Service Officer, assigned to various Embassies and Consulates overseas. I love to travel and I enjoy meeting new people and learning about new cultures. I feel a strong connection to the ocean, I love beaches, swimming with sea turtles, snorkeling, sailing...Hawaii is the perfect place for all water sports! I volunteer at the Marine Mammal Center (Ke Kai Ola) in Kailua-Kona where I am part of the response and rescue team protecting the endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal. I am also a practicing glass artist with a small home glass studio. I enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle and feel extremely fortunate to have made Hawaii my home.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
I chose this house because it offers the best of indoor-outdoor living. The large lanai nearly doubles the living space and I love the beautiful ocean views. It is also at the perfect elevation for gorgeous sunsets and for catching the trade winds. With a clear night sky, and very little surrounding ambient light, the stargazing from my property is amazing. I've known for many years that I wanted to retire to Hawaii, so finding this home and starting a new life on the Big Island has been a dream come true. I'm looking forward to sharing my little paradise with you!
この宿泊施設の特徴
The Big Island has so much to offer with many wonderful adventures waiting for you. I look forward to meeting you and am happy to answer any questions you may have to help make your visit to the Big Island an unforgettable experience. Aloha!
