We had a 12-day stay in February. This place is all about the view. We LOVED sitting on the lanai and seeing the ocean. The house has an older Hawaiian vibe. We loved the decor. The living room is also very comfortable to hang out. Clint’s house is the perfect location for seeing everything the Big Island has to offer. We were happy to be in a neighborhood and not with all the tourists in Kona. We were surprised how many monster trucks are in Hawaii and yes, some live next door. We couldn’t use the main bedroom (couldn’t make it up the tall bed!) but the second bedroom (luckily also with a king bed) worked out well to avoid the trucks that start leaving at 545am next to the main bedroom. But then we figured out that we are used to triple pane windows always shut in Chicago and the nice trade winds were worth hearing a few trucks. The longer we were there, the less it bothered us. We just went on the lanai and enjoyed the ocean. Get the Aloha spirit! We also heard the loud trucks everywhere and not just here. So in the end we had a great time in Clint’s place. With a thorough scrubbing (including windows and inside the fridge) and a few basic upgrades (bigger coffeemaker, kitchen stuff) this place would get five stars. PS we are now in Maui at your basic small condo and are missing Clint’s spacious and private home.
