My son, mom and I stayed here for a week. From the moment our plane landed, Doris checked on us and made us feel welcome. She knew we were coming in late, so she offered to leave a light on and left clear instructions for accessing the apartment. And she remained super responsive throughout our stay even one night when we had a minor emergency. She sent information on local urgent care and hospital, I really couldn't ask for a better hostess! The apartment is just as pictured, but even better in person. The decorations are tasteful and just enough, no clutter. The living area is spacious and the furniture comfortable and sturdy. The mattresses were, hands down, the most comfortable I've had at a vacation rental and the sheets and blankets were soft. Everything was very clean. The kitchen was just big enough to make small meals on vacation and was fully stocked with all the cookware, dinnerware and a few starter staples (coffee!!) we needed, but again not cluttered. The outdoor space was inviting and so nicely manicured and my son even got to see a pineapple growing right outside our window! We sat outside and had our coffee and breakfast and enjoyed watching all kinds of birds and little geckos in the trees and the pups :-). We were also pleasantly surprised by how close the home was to so many things we wanted to visit in Kona. And the pool and deck just right for relaxing (or in the case of my son, splashing) after we got back home. This was such a great find. We'd stay again and again.
