The apartment is large, very comfortable with lots of details (beach equipment, lots of towels, appliances, etc). Lori, our host, was very welcoming and accomodating. The apartment is located in a residential community with a nice ocean view and is 10 minutes from the airport, about 15 minutes from Kona town. We had a lovely stay!

Other reviews have already talked about the property itself, which was excellent. I want to add that the location was unexpectedly perfect.
I originally picked the property because we'd be a severely jetlagged family staggering off the plane. It was a quick 10 minute drive up the hill, but it turned out the location was also ideal. If you're visiting the Kona area, you'll probably be moving around, visiting multiple beaches and sites and such. This was a good central home base.
The extra altitude made all the difference in terms of heat. We left all the windows open the whole time, and the area was really quiet.
Yep, there are coqui frogs, but they're everywhere, and honestly don't bother us. They turn into white noise from 9pm to 2am. I'll take coqui frogs over the 5am sparrows back home any day.

We loved having a place big enough for all of us. The area is peaceful and being higher up the mountain meant it was cool even on summer days. Lori is a fantastic host. If we come back to Kona, we would stay here again.

Lori's place was private and well appointed. There was fresh papaya bread available on check in as well as oatmeal in the cupboards and a well stocked kitchen for cooking! Everything was clean and welcoming. Very nice patio and great location just up the hill where it's cooler.

Thank you for a wonderful stay for our 2 1/2 weeks on the Big Island. The bed and whole Ohana was so comfortable. Everything was as pictured. The Lanai is expansive and a peaceful place to unwind over dinner and a glass of wine and sunset. We appreciate your hospitality and nice beach gear (Tommy Bahama chairs, beach umbrella, boogey boards, and cooler). Mahalo!

My two sisters and I spent four nights at this property. We had a wonderful time. Lots of room, great hills for me to walk, beautiful sunsets, we barbequed most nights, wonderful little local store with great pizza, and more!! Loved the neighborhood and the birds sang to us every night.
