My wife and I recently spent a week at Dawn's oceanfront studio. I myself am an experienced Airbnb superhost with multiple listings of my own and can tell you without question Dawn provides a first class product. She sweats the small stuff, and that is exactly what you want in a property host. The overall complex is very well maintained with beautiful, lush tropical grounds. The pool area was never crowded and has really great sun exposure. The studio, while not huge, is wonderfully equipped and well appointed. Perfect for 2 people. From boogie boards and beach chairs to a cooler and pool noodles, Dawn has it all ready for you to have a great and memorable experience. Ladies, in the shower you will find wonderful smelling hair and body products. Fellas, if you forget your shampoo or body wash expect to smell like a beautiful delicate flower.
Prior to booking I had two concerns about the unit. First, the fact that the bed was a pull-out sleeper sofa. Second, the vehicular traffic noise as the main road is right outside the lanai. Having now spent a week there I can tell you the bed was surprisingly comfortable and despite my lower back issues I slept better than I do at most hotels. As far as the traffic noise is concerned, cars typically are going about 15-20mph past the lanai and the crashing waves directly on the opposite side of the street drown out almost all of the car noise with few exceptions. Staying in an oceanfront unit, sitting out on the lanai drinking your morning coffee while watching the waves crash is worth putting up with the occasional inconsiderate person driving by playing loud music.
This terrific little space offers everything a person could want and more. We opted to not rent a car, and this location doesn't get any better for having a walk-able Kona vacation. Already looking forward to our next "run to the sun" and another stay at this top notch listing.
