Roberts apartment is fantastic, the pictures paint an accurate picture. The view from the lanai is great, it captures a nice sunset on clear evenings. They provided everything we needed in terms of soap, detergent and so on. There were even toothbrushes in case someone forgot to pack theirs. The apartment had a very nice grill and all the kitchen appliances you need to cook a nice meal.
Its decorated in a very clean and welcoming way, as the pictures show.
They also provide beach towels and an arsenal of beach equipment for guests use. They provided some very thoughtful documentation with instructions for how to operate appliances and info about wifi, checking outband tips for shopping, restaurants, and places to visit. Very thorough.
Location wise its about a 15 minute drive from the airport and the main street of Kona. We did most of our shopping and eating in Kona. The neighborhood looks nice and local.
Our interactions with the hosts, Robert and Fran, were great, both were very nice. We got some suggestions for places to visit. Before we arrived replies were fast when mailing.
We were 2 couples staying and it was pretty much perfect for us. If you are looking for a place to stay on the Kona side I would whole heartedly recommend this place. We would definitely do if we visit Big Island again.
