A really nice stay!
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.

This was a perfect place to crash when we arrived before we set off for the east side of the island. Comfy bed and super close to the airport and town.

Basic, Clean, Simple, Adequate
The property is clean and as advertised. The neighborhood is not attractive. The bed is hard. The refrigerator and kitchen was great! The walk to the harbor is as described. The owners live in the house behind the rental. There is an upstairs rental. I can see how this place gets complaints of being noisy, but for our stay all was quiet. It was commensurate with the rate, let's face it Kona is expensive!

Local Style
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.
