This rental had absolutely everything we needed for our 5 nights in Kona. Nestled about 5 minutes from town, it gave us beautifully quiet nights and easy access to all the beaches and sights. The place was so tidy and cozy with ample space for a family of 4 (two teens) but they had everything set up for a stay with a little one including baby gates on the steps! The stocked kitchen made it easy for us to cook in a few nights and not have to buy things like sugar - it’s the small things that make such a difference. The beds were great and came with soft and firm pillow options. Eric and Christie even shared fresh Ono fish that they had caught that day with us ~ the complete Hawai’i welcoming experience. We made easy day trips up and down the coast and truly can’t recommend this place enough. I’ll be dreaming of my coffee on the lanai for a long time !

Overall, nice home to stay for two people. The kitchen was nicely furnished. Parking was easy. Very close to downtown Kona, supermarket….my only issue was the too firm mattress on the queen bed.

This rental is fantastic. It is upstairs from a residence but you have your own covered parking and outside stairs and entrance. It was still very private. The home is beautiful and well stocked. Contactless arrival was smooth and easy. Hosts were very friendly and easy to contact if needed. I would recommend to everyone and would definitely stay again.

What a great place to stay! We were looking for a quiet place that could be a “base of operations” for our vacation, and this place proved to be ideal. It was close enough to everything while being away from crowded resorts. It is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood and doesn’t have loud partygoers that we were concerned we might find at a resort or a condo, but was only minutes from stores and the main tourist strip.
The place was IMMACULATE! And it appeared to have been recently remodeled. Everything was essentially new and of high quality, from the furniture to the bedding as well as the fully-equipped kitchen. It was open, airy, and full of light.
The owners live downstairs and are available for any problems, but the fact is, the place was so well appointed (from laundry detergent, shampoos, and conditioners to sunscreen and bug spray and a binder full of useful information about the home, places to eat and things to see) that we had no need to bother them, although we did bump into them occasionally when leaving/arriving and enjoyed chatting with them. They were careful to give us our privacy and we didn’t feel as if we were being monitored.
In short, the place honestly exceeded our expectations and we will certainly stay there again when visiting the island.

--Great location in relation to town and various activities.
--Very nicely appointed quarters!!
--Comfy beds. = )
--Terrific beach gear collection!!!
--Hosts are well organized and communicated promptly, clearly, graciously, and non-invasively.
--One con: Proximity to a busy road made for ongoing road noise when windows were open. When closed (there is AC available) it was not a problem.

The property's location was great. Eric and Christy were awesome host. They went above and beyond to make our stay welcoming. Their book was well done with great recommendations for restaurants and activities. They even gave us their Ninja Blender so we could make our smoothies. They were friendly and we felt like we knew them for years in conversation. They provided all we needed for the beach from chairs, umbrella, towels, boogie boards, cooler and a wagon! the location is About 15 minutes from airport. location to beaches were good. anywhere from 7 minutes to 40 minutes depending on where you go. We went to 4 beaches. The Black sand beach near volcanoe was an hour in half drive. the drive to volcano and waterfalls were about 2 hours. I highly recommend to stay here. I know we will stay there again when we come back.

House is very clean with everything we needed for comfort living. Hosts extremely nice. This house is conveniently located away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown but a short drive to everything we needed like the restaurants, major department stores, beaches, and airport.

The home was just right. Very clean and organized. We’ll-stocked with beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella, snorkel gear and beach toy. Washer and dryer on the front porch was very convenient and helpful. A/C worked like a charm and cooled the whole home well. Great location for driving a few minutes to Ali’i Drive or driving up to points north of Kona. Hosts were available and helpful when needed. Would definitely stay here again!
