I cannot say enough good things about Brad's place. First, there is the location. If you want to enjoy Kailua-Kona but also not be right in the middle of tourist craziness, this is a great spot. You are a short drive or walk from just about everything you want to see, but you won't be caught up in the noise and traffic of crowds. Want a beautiful beach to relax and enjoy? There is one just a short walk away. Every morning, I grabbed one of the folding chairs Brad provides and headed out with my cup of coffee to relax and enjoy the blue waves. It was a perfect way to enjoy "island time." Second, there is the home itself. Within 30 seconds of my arrival inside the townhouse, I felt completely at home. The furnishings, the decorations, and ammenities made me feel as though I was truly at home. From the comfortable beds to the enjoyable living room to the relaxing back deck to the well-appointed kitchen and washer and dryer, everything was both functional and enjoyable. Third, Brad was super easy to work with, and communicated very clearly everything I needed to know to get there and fully enjoy the place.
My only regret was that my time there was so short! Next time I visit the Big Island, I will definitely look up Brad's place to see if it's available. A perfect 10/10!
