Bradley and Su are amazing hosts and their apartment is perfectly suited for a private, relaxing Airbnb stay.
I had lots of communication with Bradley prior to arriving, he provided all kinds of helpful advice about staying in Kailua Kona. While Bradley and Su live in Kailua Kona now, they had visited as tourist several times before moving down, so they have a great perspective on traveling there. Bradley is also an avid cyclists which was helpful when it came to renting a bicycle and cycling in and out of Kailua.
The property and house are lovely and the guest room and bathroom are conveniently located on the opposite side of the house from their bedroom, providing lots of privacy. There’s also a private entrance for the guest room. The kitchen and common space is very spacious and comfortably allows for multiple people to be in the kitchen at once. They’ve also got a great BBQ outside by the pool, as well as and avocado tree (you will never need to by an avocado) and lime tree.
The house is a little over 3mile south of Kailua Kona and is up the hill. I was staying with them during the Ironman World Championships, so I didn’t rent a car because I thought traffic and parking would be a nightmare, rather I biked into town everyday. It’s about a 10-15min ride in to town but a 20-30min bike back to the house. I would also run down to Ali’i Dr for runs and walk back up to the house. The house is about a 10min walk from Ali’i Dr.
Over all I really enjoyed my stay with Bradley and Su; they are very friendly but respectful people, the house is great and it’s a very quiet relaxing neighbourhood. I would definitely stay with them again and I would highly recommend their room.
