We had a wonderful four-night stay at the Stay Kona Bamboo Suite! It was the perfect base of operation for us as we explored the Kona side of the island for our first visit there. It's very close to the airport and about a 5-10 minute drive to town. We ADORED the outdoor kitchen -- it was fully equipped...it didn't lack a single item. Our hosts even left us muffins, bagels, cream cheese and fresh fruit. We sat at the covered outdoor table and had breakfast each morning as we strategized the day's adventures. We appreciated the laundry facilities, as well as all the extras to make our beach time more fun: boogie boards, sunscreen, beach towels, beach totes, masks, snorkels, etc.

Everything was quite comfy and clean. The bedroom had lots of storage in a large closet and bureau, and even had a flat screen TV w/ DVD player in addition to the full entertainment unit in the living room.

Elizabeth was out of town, so we didn't get to meet her, but her husband Mike was a gracious host. We really enjoyed gabbing with him -- he even came over with fresh pineapple and another time helped us learn to use the new remote control.

We hope to return to the Kona side in the next year or so, and will definitely stay here if it's available again. We highly recommend it!

Everything was quite comfy, including the bed.
