This place was perfect for us—in town for 2 nights. Wanted a place close to airport and easy to get to sights. Great location. In the neighborhood, which I like, amongst the local folks. Felt safe and space provided everything that we needed. We used smoke equipment and towels for our venture. Great experience!

Marc was friendly, communicative, and flexible. We were able to check in a little early and the property was immaculately clean when we arrived. It's a pretty no-nonsense place with few amenities (no air conditioning!) but it was safe and comfortable. Some noise overnight from neighbours (we had the windows open for the breeze) but nothing outrageous.

Real Bohemian vibe.live this place. It's roomy, airy and has a great lanai. Marc, the host is a joy. He was there making sure everything was perfect. If your looking for fancy and modern, this isn't it. It has the true Hawaiian vibe. I enjoyed my stay and look forward to staying here again.

Very nice stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The site was well stocked with towels and kitchen items. Having a washer and dryer was wonderful. We also used the beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkeling gear available under the unit. There was even a grass spot for us to store the top to our jeep for a day for a ride up the coast. The property managers were extremely friendly, helpful and immediately responsive. They went above and beyond to make our stay really special.

We like the fact that it was close by grocery stores, laundry on site, and there was private. The rooms were big. We didn’t like that it did not have air-conditioning, But we knew that, but it was shush hot. There were no windows, only screens that covered the space. Because of the heat, the ants were coming in, and these weren’t little ants. These were red ants. I traveled with my family and my kids were getting bitten during the night hours. The owner did spray the next day. But that shouldn’t be the case, this should’ve have been done prior to guess staying at his property and it should’ve been done by a professional company and not themselves. The property is old, it is not new and in it does have normal wear and tear. But it’s cleaned. You still need a vehicle to get around because the beach and other places are just too far. Overall, you need it vehicle in this island. And if you have a vehicle, you have choices or where to stay.

Great for the price
Lots of space, includes all of the necessities. Parking is a bit tight, and barking dogs at night made sleeping a bit rough (in addition to the humidity).

Breezy Lodging on Second Floor
Our host was very friendly, checked us in personally and showed us all the beach toys we could use--towels, cooler, umbrella, chairs, boogie boards, masks/snorkels. A lot of useful gear. He also suggested good snorkeling spots. The upstairs rooms had plenty of fans, was well-stocked for our stay, and we had so much room--three queen beds for just the two of us. The screened-in lanai was a cool spot for taking evening refreshments after sunset. Grocery shopping and "downtown" were just a short walk away. We enjoyed this spot as home base, but we were out playing day and night while we finished up our Kona stay. Thank you Marc for hosting us!

Don’t miss it!
My two teen kids and I LOVED this place. It is beautiful and has a ton of character, we were so sad we o Lu got to stay for one night and really hope we can return someday. Hosts are exceptionally kind and interesting people, don’t miss a chance to chat with them a bit. I stayed at six places on my trip and this was definitely my favorite. Location is great too for walking into Kona town or getting to most other places n the island.
