What a find! We spent 11 nights here at the end of March and early April. This is one of the best rentals we have found through Airbnb. First of all, the price is incredibly reasonable, given the cost of other accommodations in the area. The setting is superb, with a 180-degree view of the ocean, which you can also enjoy while floating in the infinity pool. The bedroom looks out onto the view. The king-size bed is probably the most comfortable we have ever found outside our own bed at home. There are two large walk-in closets with plenty of hangers, so storage and unpacking is a breeze. The living room is comfortable with a great TV for watching local channels and Netflix. The lanai is superb. There is an outdoor kitchen on the lanai, which was absolutely perfect for cooking and enjoying meals outside. The owner, Steve, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about where to go and what to see on the Kona side of the island. He supplied us with snorkeling gear and boogie boards as well as great beach chairs and towels. You really do need a car, though, to make the most of this rental, unless you have an unlimited taxi budget.
We would recommend this apartment without reservation and we will certainly be in touch with Steve when we come back to the Big Island. Don’t miss this spot if you’re travelling to Kona. You’ll love it. Jeremy and Sheri Etherington
