Had a pleasant time at Caryl’s airbnb! This place is exactly as described - a large studio with a comfortable bed, large kitchen and bathroom, with plenty of beach supplies available for guests to use. It’s a budget (and budget friendly) accommodation that feels like being a guest in someone’s home. The kitchen and main living/bedroom areas were very clean, tidy and comfortable; the bathroom had plenty of clean linens and while it could use a bit of maintenance, was also clean and comfortable. (The upstairs accommodation is much larger and has an ocean view lanai for only 10-25 dollars more per night, so definitely look at that one first, if it’s available.)
The neighborhood is quiet and a central location for day trips to pretty much anywhere on the north or west side of the island. Resort beaches are 30 min away, downtown Kona is 20, Waimea is about 45. We drove about 10-15 min for any food or coffee, and most restaurants are about 20-30 min away.
Caryl is a communicative and gracious host who will give you a friendly call after booking to offer recommendations about your stay. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay at this Airbnb.
