We chose Stan's place because of the location and price. The lanai has an amazing view of Keauhou Bay and we try to eat all our meals out there. Sometimes we have been treated to breeching whales! The complex is landscaped beautifully with lush plants, grass, trees and fragrant plumeria and gardenia. The unit is very close to the pool and we almost always had the pool to ourselves during our daily swims. We always got shaded parking right below the apartment.
Inside the unit, we appreciate how well stocked the place is with so many things to make our stay comfortable. We used the beach chairs, pool noodles, rice cooker, tea kettle, coffee grinder, microwave, oven, cheese grater, etc. It’s so nice to have such a well-stocked kitchen, full laundry and two bathrooms. The king-size bed is very comfortable and there's a good supply of linens and extra towels and pillows. We have found everything we need here.
The area near the condo is beautiful and quieter than Kailua-Kona. We enjoyed going to the farmer's market at Keauhou shopping center on Saturdays and the Sheraton with live music on Wednesdays. We could hear the luau on Thursday night from the lanai. The complex is close to the ocean and you can hear the pounding waves at night. We have been so happy here!
Communicating with Stan has been great. He loves Hawaii and knows and appreciates this special culture and place. He has been quick to respond and willing to help when we had a request or question. We have been working online here and needed faster WiFI, which Stan arranged for us.
If you are looking for a comfortable stay in a gorgeous location with a kind and helpful host, this is the place!
