We really enjoyed our stay here in the hills above Kona. The apartment is located at the end of a cul-de-sac within a gated driveway. It is located about 12-15 minute drive from the heart of the Kona waterfront.

Robbie met us on arrival. Everything in the apartment was ready to go for us. The unit was super clean and in near-perfect condition. The apartment is built on the top of the garage, with its own separate entry. It included a bedroom (very comfortable bed), bathroom, full kitchen, great room and a large deck. Luggage storage space is fairly small. There was space to hang clothing, but no shelves. But we worked it out just fine.

The deck faces out into dense tropical plants with no other home in view. Looking the other direction, through the windows, you can see the ocean and Kona, though the view is somewhat obstructed by the garage roof. We also had access to the gazebo that has a fantastic view.

The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials, plus extras. We also made good use of the provided beach chairs, umbrella and cooler, as well as the ice-packs that were in the freezer.

Another reviewer mentioned hearing the rooster at night. Yes, we heard the rooster and his pals! For us it was not a problem as we are used to hearing lots of wildlife at our own home. We stayed at 4 different Airbnb homes on this trip an at each we could hear some type of wildlife at night, most often frogs.

We would recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a very new and clean place to stay in the hills above Kona.
