What a wonderful island find! Jes and the apartment exhude aloha spirit.
We were happy to be a little removed from the crowded, tourist part of Kona. It took us maybe 12 minutes to drive down to town for dinner and often we drove beyond Kona to other dinner places so that was not a problem for us. I so loved the frogs and bird sounds and just generally being away from the noise of town. The flowers and trees combined with the patio for coffee in the morning was superb. Haha we even found after trying sunsets in many busy restaurants that actually the view from the top of the hill getting to the house had the best sunset and no crowd or waiting.
As far as the apartment itself, very clean which is my most important qualification in picking a place to stay. Didn’t see a crumb or a hair or anything. Very clean. The bed was so comfortable (my second biggest thing I look for) and I slept like a log. I even have trouble finding pillows for my neck issues and I slept so well on these I want to ask where I can buy the pillows! Shower had excellent pressure too!
Jes has a beautiful aloha spirit and was a joy to talk to. She had some great recommendations on restaurants and the farmers market. We loved the generous appetizers (so yummy) and the coffee! I can’t say enough really. We hope to come back some day.
