The appartment is small but very cozy. It was clean and equipped with the necessary utensils. Really close to the ocean and the center of Kailua-Kona. We also enjoyed sitting by the table outside while having breakfast or in the evening. Marc is a really friendly host and everything went well.

Host makes it comfortably and easy to stay. Super close to everything in town. I enjoyed the amenities the communal areas were cool. I was going to stay until the next day but my flight got bumped up earlier so left the same night.

Clean and convenient location for what we wanted for a 2 day stay. Great amenities for cooking and laundry. Only downside was noise from upstairs unit...but that's a "your miles may vary" situation. Overall a great place to stay!

This property is beautiful and well maintained. The hosts make you feel welcome, are always around to help, but let you be as if it's you're home. They are kind, generous and well informative. We plan to stay here for all our trips to HA.

If you know Kona, it is definately local style (a good thing). It is great for 1 or 2 guest who want to do their thing in the village. Walking distance to all thats needed for those who want to stay young with the 10,000 steps per day. Not so much for the elderly who need to drive everywhere. I would definitely stay here again.
