Jason is an incredibly communicative host and offered great insights on planning our drive from Hilo to Kona, as well as guiding us to the only sunny beach on a dreary,
drizzly day. He also told us where to find some cool local art.
We initially had some difficulties in the unit but Jason was very prompt in addressing the main issues on the same day. We highly recommend the memory foam topper that can be found in the closet! The main highlight of this property is the view, and we enjoyed our mornings on the balcony sipping tea and soaking it all in.
Our main struggle when staying here was due to how sensitive we are to noise. The washer & dryer are directly over the kitchen and rumbles the ceiling but there are quiet hours (9pm to 8am). Since sound carries from the floor above, we were woken up by a vibrating alarm one morning when both of our phones were off. The unit is 2 blocks from the main road so we used our ipad as a white noise machine plus earplugs at night to help fall asleep. Fans also need to be left on since the unit is a converted basement and gets damp quickly otherwise.
All in all Jason is a friendly host and the unit served as a good base for our Kona coast adventures.
