We had an excellent stay.
Great communication with the host. Very easy unassisted afternoon check in.
The rental is exactly as shown in the photos. Everything is in solid condition. A personalized note on arrival. The kitchen is stocked with cooking supplies and an appreciated handful of breakfast bars.
Fast WIFI 200-300Mbs and surface space making remote work productive.
In a residential neighborhood 4 blocks from the water. Perfect for quiet work/vacation. We walked to the beach for sunsets. To be complete, a car will be needed to get to a variety of restaurants. We used Uber and Lyft without difficulty.
As others have noted, the lanai, roofed porch, is fantastic. Three sitting areas that make usage easy any time of day. There are birds everywhere and can be heard around the clock. A wonderful environment.
We highly recommend this to future Kona visitors.
