We so enjoyed our stay in Fred and Julya,s lovely place. It was just as beautiful as pics showed. The lanai was amazing with the most gorgeous sunsets. Enjoyed early morning coffee on the lanai couch. This was the most stocked place we have ever stayed in. Other than our main food we didn’t have to buy any staples like coffee filters, dish/laundry soap, spices, etc. So appreciated. Fred and Julya are a lovely couple and very helpful in suggesting things to do on this beautiful island. This is a very private and comfortable place to stay. We highly recommend staying here!!

We had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful home and would highly recommend this place to everyone! We were a party of five and the place was very well equipped with everything one could possibly need. The rooms were equipped with comfortable beds and closets and the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, cutlery, appliances and essential food items. The view from the Lanai was breathtaking and it was tastefully decorated with sofas and dining tables/chairs to have a relaxing meal enjoying the ocean views and sunsets. The location was perfect with walking trails nearby and restaurants, stores and beaches just a few minutes by drive. The place also had all the beach amenities such as boogie boards, chairs, snorkelling gear and beach toys that came in very handy. The owners Julya and Fred had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and were always there in case we needed anything. Overall it is a beautiful place as advertised and we would definitely stay there again.

The views of the of Kailua Kona and the sea were spectacular. Close to markets and beaches, lovely owners, hope to come back soon

We slept quite well and enjoyed the lanai tremendously. There was plenty of room for our family to spread out and run around as we had two children, 6 and 20 months, needed some room. Morning cards and breakfast outside. Kitchen well equipped with great appliances, coffee makers, etc. Julya and Fred were available if needed and ready to answer questions. Mahalo to them both!

The inside of the apartment reminded me of a studio hotel room. The 1200 sq ft on the listing must include the lanai which is bigger than the inside of the apartment. That being said, the apartment was well appointed and looked to have been recently updated based on the appliances. I think the kitchen had everything we needed. The lanai is huge with several seating areas/tables and we spent quite a bit of time out there. The kids enjoyed counting the geckos that came out at night. We used the chairs and umbrella as well as the soft-sided cooler from the beach supplies. Nice washer and dryer are outside on the lanai. The driveway is a bit treacherous so we parked on the street which worked out just fine.

Julya & Fred were very friendly and accommodating. Their place was well stocked with everything we needed, including use of all the beach gear! We had fresh bananas and picked lemons for cooking and lemon aid! Julya was very helpful when my allergies acted up, even bringing us an air filter to use! We stayed here as our home base for exploring the island and many beaches during our a 2-week vacation. Really enjoyed relaxing mornings and evenings on the spacious outdoor-living covered lanai. We would definitely stay here again!!

From the moment I pulled into the driveway, I was not disappointed. The place is spotless and aside from groceries, the kitchen has everything you need. Both beds were so comfortable and we slept great. The neighborhood is so quiet! The shower was wonderful too. The lanai is absolutely fantastic, we ate breakfast out there every morning and at night my 8 year old daughter and 10 year old daughter would run around inside the lanai playing with the lights and using their imaginations. The front yard is great to run around in and a chicken laid eggs under one of the chairs! My girls were so excited for their "discovery". A couple of neighbor kids even came over to play! Julya is wonderful and completely not intrusive. One of our nights, we drank wine and chatted. Thank you Julya for your amazing hospitality!

This was the perfect place for our 12-night stay in Kona. Up the hill and cooler than on the water, very comfortable with nice breezes and fabulous ocean views. Remodeled with new everything plus nightlights, power cords, plenty of towels. And the lanai, wow, it felt like we were staying at a luxury resort! Situated in a quiet neighborhood just a few minutes' drive to Keauhou shopping center (KTA grocery store, Saturday farmers market, Long's Drugstore, Kenichi sushi, and much more) and to Magic Sands beach. Very friendly and accommodating owner. Plus neighborhood chickens, cat, toads, mongoose, and birds of course. Thank you Julya!

We could not have had a more wonderful time! This felt like our hidden gem & provided us with a lovely home away from home for our Big Island vacation! It was well appointed with a beautiful view & private yet central. We will be back! Thank you Julya! C & P

A very relaxing place to spend for last 3 days in Kona for this trip. The rental is below the owner, but you have plenty of privacy with your own driveway and entrance. You have two separate living areas, an indoor kitchen, bath and bedroom section and a very nice, and very large, outdoor living room. We spent most of our time outside and enjoyed it very much. Julya is very friendly and easygoing, if you need her she's there, but she does not impose at all. Despite renting a $500k condo in Waikoloa immediately before this, this was our favorite place on this trip. The sunset views are incredible, the temperature was perfect and everything is peaceful. It's very close to downtown Kailua-Kona (5-10 minutes depending on traffic). There's a decent shopping mall down the hill (Keauhou). It's also close to the Sheraton Kona Resort, which has a Wednesday morning farmer's market. From this rental you can quickly get to Alii drive and find nice beaches which you can usually park next to.

This freshly remodeled home was nice and clean when we arrived. Julya is a wonderful host that made sure we were supplied with everything we needed for our week stay. Even fresh ground kona coffee awaited us everyday. As for the home the bedrooms and nice and the beds are super comfortable. Kitchen and bath are remodeled very cute and both were stocked with all necessities. The lanai is amazing!! I can’t stress this part enough. Every morning and night after exploring the island we found ourselves loving the lanai. It’s proabably around 600-800 with wonderul seating and four ceiling fans if needed. It’s doubtful you would because at 800 foot elevation it takes the hot nights down to where it’s just right. Overall I would absolutely stay here again. A true value in kona! Mahalo Brett and Kely

We had an amazing 4 days stay at this very nice and quiet place. The house is very well equiped. The outdoor lana'i is also very well installed; we enjoyed relaxing on the cozy sofa and having our breakfast outdoor. Thank you Julya & Fred for your hospitality.
