This unit was definitely like a home away from home. Bedroom is very spacious with king bed, dresser, closet, and nightstands. Ceiling fan helps circulate air throughout the unit and a portable AC unit is available for the very hot and humidity months. There is a good view of the ocean from the bedroom window. Bathroom is well kept and stocked with TP, soap, shampoo/conditioner, and other supplies (some left by other renters). Cutely decorated throughout. Kitchen is on the lower, entry level. It is small but sufficiently large and equipped (hot plate with pots & pans; microwave; toaster; Keurig; and other small applianances; full size refrigerator/freezer) to make full breakfasts, lunch, and dinner. An easy chair and a small couch w/ fold-out bed are in the kitchen area for seating. A small patio area with outdoor seating is also available with the unit. For those beach / water days, an outdoor shower and sink is available for easy clean up.
Location is super convenient. Very close to the airport (driving about 15 min), harbor (about 10 min), downtown Kailua-Kona (5-7 min). Shopping (Safeway, Walmart, and Target) about 5-7 min away (within 1-3 traffic lights) so you can easily run out to pick up your necessities - bonus, Safeway is open 24 h! Costco is also close, about 10 min (between the airport and harbor). Neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe. Drives to Hilo (just under 2 h) and the Volcano Park (about 2 h) are easy from the unit.
Host Cynthia (on-site, on her side of the house) is the absolute best. She kept the unit stocked with all amenities, including water. She even gave us some fruit, refreshments, and other eats. Cynthia is a fountain of knowledge on the area and her hints and suggestions for activities were spot on. The manta ray snorkel/dive is definitely a must-do. To keep towels fresh, she asks you for them every 2-3 days and will even wash your laundry with them. I felt like we were staying with a friend and not just renting a unit. Thank you Cynthia for making our stay fabulous.
If you're looking for accommodations for 2 (or 3), you need not look further. This is an awesome choice. I'm not sure why there are a few negative reviews - there is nothing negative about this unit or Cynthia. We will certainly stay here again when we return.

Cynthia is a lovely person and she has a lovely home. She takes much care to ensure you have everything you need and more. King size beauty rest bed was heaven. There are stairs to bedroom and bath, but they are carpeted with ample landings. The kitchen is stocked with all your needs and bath supplies are aplenty. Very safe neighborhood to park car plus a funny group of pets you can enjoy as company. If you are not a pet person, then you most likely won’t need to encounter them, but I very much enjoyed watching Sampson play soccer with himself!

There is no way to convey how very much we enjoyed our stay here. I initially decided on this property based on all the positive reviews. When I contacted Cynthia she responded quickly and addressed any concerns. Looking at the pictures of the property, we were hooked. We arrived early, which was no problem. We had such a great time and upon learning I wanted to see turtles, she personally took us to her favorite spot and showed us the turtles. She recommended restaurants and was a wealth of information. When we decided to relax at home, the outdoor area was comfortable and inviting. Truly, we so enjoyed our visit here and would highly recommended you enjoy it too. A big thank you to Cynthia for everything! A truly memorable visit.
