Linda and Ron were such welcoming hosts from a tour upon our arrival to a yummy welcome treat of fresh fruit & muffins to making sure we had everything we needed during our stay. We so enjoyed the beautiful garden & being a but off the beaten path but still very close to lots of sites and activities.

Just met the host once, was nice enough. The shower was only good for 1 hot shower. After that it ran cold. Hair dryer shorted out. The bed was lumpy. Think the topper needs to be replaced. Parking was tight but not much they can do about that. It was clean and quiet. The kitchen was nicely set up and handy

Linda was attentive, friendly and always available for questions. The property was lovely, had great amenities and was just the right amount of out-of-the-way. We would definitely book with her again.

We had an amazing stay at Holualoa Garden Studio. We travelled from the UK and could not have asked for anything more. The garden was lovely too and was a great base to get around.

Well appointed unit. Clean. Responsive property owner. Friendly neighbors. Nightly coqui frogs manageable with ear plugs. Nice grounds. Especially enjoyed the fragrant gardenia and puakenikeni shrubs near entrance

This was a wonderful stay to come home to at the end of a day on the water. The altitude means that it's very comfortable to sleep with the breeze coming through the windows. The host went above and beyond to make sure the stay was comfortable and pleasant. Would stay here in the future!

We had a great stay with our friendly hosts, Linda and Rob. The place was centrally located for us - close to Kona and places that we like to snorkel. The historic village of Holualoa was a 10 minute walk away with a good restaurant, galleries and boutiques.Good communication and beach gear! Appreciated the fresh apple bananas.

Linda and Rob were gracious, helpful hosts, making us feel immediately welcome. The Garden suite is set on a terraced tropical garden at about 1000 ft of altitude, meaning it is beautifully cool with and comfortable with no need for aircon. It is in a safe neighbourhood that is a short drive down to attractions like snorkelling and parks. The hosts were helpful with excellent recommenations. We would love to come again if we makevit back to Hawaii.

By far the best place we stayed on our recent trip to Hawaii. Although it’s a studio, it’s laid out well and we didn’t feel cramped (2 adults and one tween). Our daughter loved the window bed nook! It was a very quick drive into Kailua-Kona but thankfully removed from the really busy areas, and the higher elevation meant it was nice and cool, especially at night. Our hosts, Linda and Rob, were extremely friendly and helpful. All-in-all a great experience!

We loved our stay with Linda and will definitely return if we visit the island in the future. Linda was easy to reach and her homemade muffins and lilikoi butter were amazing. ☺️

Clean, cozy and wonderful. We stayed both at a 4 and 5 star resort immediately prior to this, but I enjoyed the Garden studio the most. Perfect for me and my two teens. Up in the cloud forest so it is great for cooling down after a hot day at the beach.

We absolutely loved the serene surroundings and lush foliage. It was a perfect place to recharge and refresh after a long day of snorkeling in the sun. Linda was very timely in her communications with us and so friendly and helpful every step of the way. Highly recommend!
