The accomodations were as described and very comfortable. We had more space than we could use for our group of 3 friends and it was nice for each of us to have our own room. The home was very clean and served us well as a base of operations to explore the island.

If you read the listing carefully you will notice a very extensive list of house rules. That did not bother us as we are a respectful group of 3 pharmacists who are generally quiet and clean up after ourselves. Most days we were out of the house early, back in the evening and in bed my 10pm as we crammed a lot of excursions into our stay. On one evening we were up past midnight and at some point my friend went out to collect her laundry (there was no opportunity to do it during the day as we were galavanting around the amazing island). The next day Beth came to greet us (this was about 3 days into our trip and we had not met Beth until that point...she seems to stay in a small shed like building attached to the house). At that point she made mention of the lights being left on late and we explained that we were up late that night. Nothing else came of that but we did find it a tad overbearing considering what little use we made of the actual accomodations (basically a place to sleep and shower) and the fact that we did pay for our stay. Were it not for this encounter I would have rated 5 stars instead of 4 as it was off-putting. (As a side note I struggled with whether or not to even mention this in my review until reading the comments in the review from Alejandro who seemed to experience a similar sort of cold reception) Basically we were looking for just a touch more mahalo for our kokua, but we still had an amazing stay.

To conclude I would definitely recommend Beth's place if you are staying in Kona with the hope that she will reflect on this feedback which is given with the best of intentions. Mahalo for opening your home to us, Beth!
