This place matched the photos exactly. It was an easily accessible location that kept me in proximity to much of what Kailua Kona has to offer. It can be a bit disorienting when you arrive if you arrive in the dark (nighttime is intensely dark in Hawaii); however, the host offered excellent directions so that I could find my bearings! The unit is well appointed with everything you may need including cutlery, dishes, a kettle, bath towels, washer/dryer, and fast wi-fi. I quite enjoyed my stay, and wish I had been there longer! If you're in the area, be sure to book a farm tour at Heavenly Hawaiian Kona Coffee and/or take a shelter dog from the Hawaii Island Humane Society out on a field trip - both are only about a 5 minute drive away from this place!

Very few drawbacks - perhaps hooks in the bathroom, in addition to the two towel rods that are available? The LED lighting was cute but wasn't responsive to its remote control, perhaps new batteries are required? I wouldn't consider these drawbacks as they are easily remedied.

The amenities were amazing. And the beach gear really came in handy when we decided to go see sea turtles. And we did!

Air conditioner was quite noisy.

Really nice cozy place with plenty of space for two. It was an easy 10-min drive to Kona, right down the street from Heavenly Hawaiian coffee farm (also groceries, coffee shop, and poke), and maybe about 20-30 min to Two Step Beach. All in all, a great, peaceful location. We really liked that there was a washer/dryer as we were in the middle of a long trip; also loved the fully stocked kitchen as it enabled us to make some meals. Loved that they provided beach gear like flippers, boogie board, etc. AC worked well. Everything was nice and clean, and check-in directions were helpful to find the place!

Nothing at all. Would come back!

well stocked - quick responses and even included us with a list of things to do in the area.

Can't think of much - wish we would have had another day!

Felt like a home away from home, was brilliant for the time spent there

Nothing

Matt was an amazing host. This was our first stay in Hawaii and set a very high bar right at the beginning of our trip. This was by far our favorite stay over the course of 3 weeks on 3 different islands! There was nothing to complain about. Everything was relaxed and easy, we felt safe and and taken care of yet had a lot of privacy.

location, privacy, very helpful host. Great kitchen facilities for a small space- full size fridge and stove with oven.

portable air conditioning noisy and not quite efficient in cooling the area. Would be useful to have instructions for tv, coffee machine etc.

Loved everything about this house. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but it is far enough from the main road, so barely any cars passing by, no loud noises of downtown since it's tucked away in a residential area. LR couch and bed were comfortable to sleep on. Bathroom was clean with all the toiletries you need. There's a full kitchen, washer and dryer. TV had all the streaming apps Netflix, Disney+, Youtube, etc. The morning view was beautiful and it was cool seeing the geckos on the windows at night!

Not really a con for me, but the microwave is set on top of the fridge. Anyone 5 1/2 ft (167cm) and under is going to have a difficult time reaching the buttons and taking out their food without a step stool. Also, while not the owners fault at all, the invasive coqui frogs' whistles and calls around the area can get pretty loud and persistent into the night, just an FYI.
