This is a beautiful place, in a quiet residential neighborhood but close to grocery stores and the popular Alii drive. Kona farmers market and the water front are close too if you're up for a longer walk or a quick bike ride. Google maps directions to get there were spot on. The home is clean and spacious. Although we did not meet the host, Marc reached out a few hours before check in and was responsive to any questions thereafter. Functional kitchen had several essentials like rice, salt, sugar, pepper, spices, oil available for use, maybe left by previous guests, but we we able to manage with getting only perishables and making our meals. Coffee pot, rice cooker, 1 saucepan, one cast iron skillet and glass bowls available along with cutlery. No dishwasher and we washed everything before and after we used it. Essentials were available for beach/water activities too - beach towels, snorkeling/diving gear, reef safe sunscreen, aloe gel for sunburn relief etc. Being able to use the washer and dryer and having laundry detergent available for it was very much appreciated. We could see a sliver of the ocean from the bedrooms. No AC, but fans provided. We did not need to use them though because it was cool overnight and early morning with plenty of breeze during the day to keep it that way. We tried to keep ourselves as quiet as possible so as not to disturb others since we woke early (EST) and were on the 2nd floor where the floor sounded creaky at times. Would love to be back there again someday and stay longer.
