We were trying to pick a place that would be more central to the activities we wanted to do around Kona but not be in the middle of riff raft of central Kona. Corey and Amy’s place was perfect for that. There was a great grocery store at the bottom of the hill to pick up snacks, breakfast stuff and refill our water jug. As the crow flies the apartment was close to town but beware it is a one lane road up and has a rural feel to it. I’d say to try to arrive during the day as there are no street lights but phone maps were accurate for location.
The apartment was one room ( newly renovated garage) nice bright and boho deco. Kitchenette was well equipped with microwave, toaster oven and electric countertop stove which we were able to use to make breakfast. Shower was nice and hot and after a days out snorkeling and adventuring, the Bronners lavender soap was a nice way to get clean for the day. The slightly higher elevation than Kona made temperatures more moderate and pleasant sleeping and boo beeps of the melodic frogs lovely. There were fruit trees around the property and the lilikoi and guavas were ripe for the picking. Amy even offered to show you where to pick fruit.
A few things that would have been nice was a small dining table and chairs to sit and eat. The pillows and mattress could use an upgrade.
The front door faced the parking for the house so we mostly had to keep the curtains closed for privacy but since we were out all day it wasn’t that big of a deal.
All said it turned out to be a great location- Amy was quick to respond and had great suggestions for restaurants and snorkel spots.
