Better than imagined
Jim was a beyond welcoming host- he met us after unloading our car and showed us all around the property. It’s well-stocked with beach gear and towels. The kitchen was fun to cook in and Jim had all of the necessary equipment on hand. The outdoor shower was a dream come true. My only regrets are not staying longer and forgetting to leave a six pack formUim :)

So Awesome!!
This place was so Awesome, you can't go wrong here. We came to Kona for our 40th Anniversary and this place couldn't have been better. It was wonderful and peaceful for the most part. You can hear the neighbors and the traffic but the view and the room were so awesome the closeness to other people didn't really matter. The host was wonderful and informative about the area and we will definitely book this room if available the next time we come. No AC but at night it cools enough with the windows open and the fans going to be very comfortable. Can't say enough wonderful things about this room.
