Cynthia is genuinely such a thoughtful, kind and helpful person. She really went out of her way to make sure we had a great stay and to help us make arrangements outside of just our accommodation.
The location of her property is a very short drive away from all the places and amenities that we wanted to get to during our visit to Kona.

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.

I had a great stay at Cynthia's. It was just me and my husband and she was the BEST host! She was so accommodating -always there to help. She had coffee, unlimited water, offered rides (even if I had a rental car), did my laundry, and gave me a celebratory bottle of wine. Will definitely stay with Cynthia again!

TOO FAR FROM THE OCEAN
The unit is located 50 minutes from the Ali'i/shore meaning that the pictures are decieving. From them it looks like you are near the ocean. You can not walk back from the ocean to the place.
NOT FOR SMOKERS
Our first encounter with the owner was her coming to us almost yelling that she is allergic to cigaret smoke that was coming from the porch (outisde) into the house aparently and that if I want to smoke Ineed to be further away.
The owner also came at 4 am to me saying we cannot smoke on the porch, which had astray.
NOT MEANT FOR THREE PEOPLE
The unit is very small so we wouldn't recommend more than two people staying there.
RULES
The owner Cynthja kept coming into the unit (even if she meant well it didnt feel nice). She also kept telling us to close the two doors from the entrance. One glass and one anti mosquito door. It allmade sense but if you go into rhe unit to grab your phone and go back out right after that she would already have a problem with that... which isnotpleasant and you feel like you are being watched and under control.
CHECK OUT
You need to literally clean the apartment. Take off the bedding, take out the trash, bring her the towels and so on... However in the price you payed for cleaning so you would expect that you wouldnt need to do that and that the owner or cleaning lady would do that.
There is also a thick layer of dust under the bed indicating it hasnt been cleaned in awhile. Most likely the towels nadthe bedding were theonly onces that were changed.
ANIMALS
Also she has 2 dogs and 2 cats so keep that in mind as well for she will letthem walk around. It depends if you like that or not.
