We highly recommend Kona Views! Our group had a wonderful 8 night stay at Judith’s home. It is located directly uphill from downtown Kailua-Kona in a quiet neighborhood, it has a lovely view and is quickly accessible from town with rental car (5 mins). The house was fantastic, very clean with comfortable beds and thoughtful touches to make our stay easy. Judith provided beach towels, sun hats and many other useful things you may have forgotten to pack.

Communication was swift and clear. The directions from the airport were excellent, and Judith has a guest book with house information as well as suggestions for local attractions and restaurants.

Judith’s friendly and helpful caretaker Mike lives in the unit attached to the garage. He helped us get settled and provided tips about the area and information about the amenities in the house. He was great to chat with, extremely welcoming and kind.

The kitchen is fully equipped and easy to use, we cooked dinner almost every night and enjoyed eating on the lanai watching the sunset. The birds and geckos are fun to watch in the garden, and Mike will tell you how to get a closer look if you want.

Our primary activities were snorkeling and scuba diving, there is a clothesline to dry beach gear and Jack’s Diving Locker is only 8mins away, a convenient stop on the way home from the many fabulous beaches to pick up fresh tanks.

We’re already planning for our return trip!
