We had originally booked another AirBnB but the host canceled on us last-minute due to Covid, so we had to scramble to find a place after landing in Kona. Fortunately, Keoni accommodated us and even let us check-in early. Although her place was out of our original budget, we felt the extra money we spent was well justified.
The location was great. Close to the best poke in town, Da Poke Shack, Magical Sands Beach and the Kona hot spots are just down the street.
Parking was always available.
The studio was well equipped and had everything we look for in an AirBnB: private, smart tv, AC, and a kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine with coffee grounds, and induction stove. 2 beach chairs, boogie board, parasol, beach towels, and beach basket were available to use.
A coin-operated washer and dryer were available right outside the apartment. (Tip: have $3 in quarters ready for a full wash/dry cycle)
Hose was available outside for rinsing feet/gear after a sandy beach day.
Easily one of the best AirBnB's we've stayed in. Our one and only suggestion is to add some privacy glass in the toilet/shower area. Even though there is a fence blocking the neighbors, my wife and I were conscious about the bathroom window with only a screen in it.
Overall, excellent stay and experience. I even met the host who is friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommended.
