The place was beautiful and very clean. House was very organized and had everything that you will need . The host was very friendly and helpful she even let me check in early because my flight was early morning. I really enjoyed my stay here and I recommend it for sure. I stayed for 4 nights and I was able to use the beach chairs that she provides and all other equipment. I really liked the place.

This place had everything that you would need and want, down to coloring book and color pencils for my 6-year-old to all of the amenities. No better way to say it, home away from home.

This is one of the cleanest, most well-equipped rentals we have ever had the privilege to stay in. Vicki has thought of everything (cooler, beach towels, fins/masks, laundry detergent, etc). Her "master" binder on the counter includes menus, information on local activities, emergency weather procedures as well as local hospital/clinic numbers, etc. should they be needed. She even provides a white noise machine/earplugs for those who may be disturbed by the intermittent street noise. While we did notice the street noise it did not affect our stay. Additionally, the pool overlooking the ocean was a nice place to relax after a busy day. Should we return to Kona we would definitely stay here again.

As Advertised

Near perfect. Think of it as a mid-level motel, with kitchen, that is near perfect. Well thought out. Combine that with its location and price and I doubt there's a better deal on the island. My only recommendation, and this isn't critical by any stretch, I would like to see a newer TV that allows access to multiple apps and higher speed internet wifi (if possible).

Eastside Big Island

We had a great stay on the eastside of the Big Island. This was a great location to explore from north to south. The property manager was very responsive to all of our questions and commuications. I would recommend this for anyone.

Wonderful property

The owner of this property is one of the most responsive that I have come across so far. The house was very clean, the kitchen was arranged very well and the location was very convenient. She offered without me even asking to extend the checkout time to 8 pm since our flight back was at 10 pm. When the coffee maker malfunctioned and I texted her she was at work. However in the evening she dropped off a brand new coffeemaker! Would give this a six star rating.

This is the one you want

This place is perfect for a couple or small family. The cleanliness, location, amenities and all the little extra touches from Vickie made it a perfect stay. She had EVERYTHING we needed. She had brochures for national parks, several books on the island, tonnes of menus with reviews for restaurants, condiments and coffee plus way way more. We enjoyed this way more than the Hilton Hawaiian village we stayed at in Honolulu.
