Christy and Eric made sure we had everything we needed and we had a wonderful stay. The place was immaculate and they were so kind to give us recommendations on what to do while we were on the island. Perfect hosts!

Very nice upper level two bedroom / one bath with everything anyone could need. Lots of little touches make it clear the owners care. Nice parking, well lit, AC and nice washer / dryer. Residential neighborhood near busy road but a nonissue. Close to everything in Kona especially central downtown. Great owners. Highly recommend.

The property was clean and well equipped. The host was welcoming and pleasant. There was a bit of noise from the highway, but that makes getting on the highway easy access. Would stay there again.

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 !
