This casita was perfect for my short stop in Kona. I traveled to Hawaii island with my best friend, her son and her mom. We all stayed at together at another location on the island before coming to Kona. They rented a condo that didn’t have enough space for another person. I didn’t spend a lot of time at the casita because I was out and about. I appreciate that it’s not in Kona proper as I don’t love the tourist vibe. You do need a car if you decide to stay in this location as it’s 3 miles from Kona town.
The casita seems very new and is clean and decorated well!
The only issue I had is the ants. Hawaii in general has an ant issue. There were ants on the counter and on the floor. I had to put my luggage off the floor as I was concerned ants would be in my clothing (they were on my backpack and computer).
Also make sure to bring your own toiletries!
