We enjoyed our stay in this thoughtful studio! We loved spending the mornings and evenings on the little deck watching the water and appreciated all the equipment left for guests to use (flippers, beach towels, beach umbrella, etc.). The studio is walking distance to a nice trail, and otherwise a 7ish-minute drive into downtown Kona for most of the restaurants. Thomas was a responsive, friendly host. The studio could have been cleaner and we found the bed much too soft, but I would still recommend this studio for an affordable home base in Kona.
