Place was very nice and well kept. It felt quite private and was much quieter than downtown (except for the night critters and roosters). The biggest bummer was that amenities listed a portable grill and coleman stove for use, but when we requested them they said they were no longer going to be offering them. Not a big deal to most, but did put a damper on some of my plans.

Location was a great stepping off for sites on this side of the island and was close to groceries. Quiet, peaceful & the view was great, particularly at sunset with a tropical drink in hand. There was some machinery that seemed to be preparing the ground for a new home which might (?) block some of the view (TBD). Amenities in the house (beach chairs, umbrella, towels, snorkel equipment, noodles, flashlight, umbrella, left-over sunscreen & sunburn lotions, a partial bag of coffee) were well-thought out & very much appreciated. Very clean; made us feel quite comfortable. We determined that the oven was broken (reported to owner), but, no worries, the available gas grill worked great instead. We felt comfortable and enjoyed out stay. Mahalo.

The property is perfect for those looking to be just outside of downtown, but a 5 min drive to Ali’i Drive. The unit has everything you need to enjoy your time on the Big Island! The yard is quiet and listening the rain forest like noises at night and the birds in the morning is very relaxing. New construction is happening just in front of the unit which will likely impact the view in the near future.

This 1 bedroom apartment is easily accessible to everything going on in Kona. It’s a quiet neighborhood and the apartment is equipped with all the essentials. I would recommend it highly.

We loved our entire stay here. Clean and quiet with all the amenities we needed. The grounds were gorgeous and so peaceful. The location was ideal. Close to downtown, costco and the highway for easy travel. Beautiful sunsets from the house. Has a grill and ample supply of beach gear including chairs, umbrella and ice chest. Cant wait to return.

Perfect central location to explore entire island, beautiful sunrise/ sunset ocean view, lush botanical garden yard, so close to everything yet felt so quiet and hidden away..CLEAN and fresh feeling rental- everything you need for beach fun right there for your use- snorkeling gear , boogie boards, chairs, umbrella, coolers - details that made all the difference in quality of our time on the Big Island. Only negative would be- I am a light sleeper and unit is is a downstairs apt, so did hear some footsteps upstairs at night .. but they do have a white noise fan on nightstand, and the AC ran nice and cool all night. Would def stay here again !

Old owner phone numbers were in info. book in unit so not easily able to contact host to use clothes washer in garage.

Imagine a place of peace, property that feels like a garden paradise, every detail thought of, everything you need and more. Imagine meandering through garden paths with incredible fruit and flowering trees individually labeled, snails in the morning and little lizards in the afternoon. Sunsets on your private patio. A bbq overlooking the ocean in the distance. The walkout apartment is perfect. A true relaxed island vibe. The patio is perfect. A table for two and rocking chairs to relax and listen to the frogs at night and birds in the morning. So much peace. A personal welcome sign outside your unit. A welcome basket of treats and a large variety of island cold drinks, like you have never seen before. Even butter and yogurt! A shelf of snorkel gear of various sizes to choose from, better quality than any snorkel shop! Beach gear, beach bags, coolers. Even a closet with sunscreen, bug spray, after sun cream! Lisa and Martha are so wonderful and think of everything! It is very clear they care about each guest! And truly make you feel like you are friends! They even set up a clean station for my son to clean the fresh catch after a fishing trip with his dad! We have stayed at many beautiful places over many years, but this place stands out as one they is definitely a piece of paradise.
