Kiki’s guesthouse was exactly as shown in her photos. This place was CLEAN, spacious and peaceful. . It was comforting to be in a home where I didn’t have to worry about roaches creeping up on me or popping out of random places.
The shower was a dream. Duo shower heads with one being a rain shower head. If it wasn’t for the care I have of wasting water… I would had spent hours under that shower.
At night, when the sky is clear, you can walk up the property’s driveway and just look up at the GORGEOUS ski, filled with so many bright stars. Steps away is also the bay where you can take a moonlight stroll and just enjoy the sounds of the waves.
Neighborhood was very safe and quiet, it was rare to hear any noise at night. Parking was great, which compared to other places, where you will have to park on the street or fight for parking space, it was awesome to have the peace of mind that I could stay out as late as I wanted and not worry about where I was going to have to park the rental.
The pool was sublime, the sound of the fountain and the landscape surrounding the pool makes you feel as if you’re swimming in an actual tropical pond. Outdoor furniture was clean also.
Kiki provides pool/beach towels as well as clean bath towels. We were also provided a beach umbrella, beach chairs and an ice cooler.
My sons most favorite part was the outdoor shower. He is very prone to mosquito bites, he was not bit once when showering. His Second most favorite was the sofa… it was so comfortable and spacious.
Bed was comfortable and sheets were soft.
Within 1.3 miles, there is this GREAT snorkeling beach (Kahalu’u beach park), so if you don’t have a car… you can easily walk to it. Also a movie theater within 1-2 miles.
Looking for those beautiful Hawaiian flowers, well you will find about 4 different style and colors around the neighborhood.
Overall, our stay was great. Kikki and Bernie were great host. Attentive, caring and kind. Their dog Pendleton was the cutest.
Although you’re on their property, they keep themselves out of your way, but are a call away if there’s anything you need. I was so HAPPY to had found this place on my first night… especially after a horrible experience with my original booking.
Would definitely recommend this home for your next Kona stay.
