It was lovely, clean, beautiful view of the water, very safe, free parking, a wonderful place to wine down and relax, great coffee and comfortable beds, and lots of fresh air, I would recommend coming here and unwinding from city life. They even have everything you need to go to the beach or surfing, we where greet and welcomed by the owner with smile and open arms, that made us feel right at home, thank you, I will be coming and recommend this place to all our friends and family.

Great location, easy walk into town

We had everything we needed and were happy with our stay. Having a place to park off-street was a very nice perk, especially since the unit is so close to everything that we just left the car there and walked everywhere. Looking forward to our next visit to Kona!

The property could have sprayed the kitchen for cokroaches. I live in Hawaii understand bugs are normal. I know the small oned attach to everything and breed like mad. I wasn't happy to that in the kitchen had too many for my liking. Place was chill and large.
