Rosalba’s cozy apartment was in a good location, quiet neighborhood, we felt safe, and all we needed to start and end each day exploring the Kona side. Kitchen is stocked with a collection of random supplies and some extras that previous guests have left behind (no need to bring salt and pepper, there are about 4-5 of each!) No dishwasher, which we were fine with, just a heads up. Shared washer and dryer available and having air conditioning/ceiling fans was nice. Close to good snorkeling (Kahalu’u Beach Park 3 min drive, Two Step about 30 min drive; Magic/White sands was too rough to try with high surf warnings). Rosalba was very kind and informative with check in and check out details/expectations, and messaged checking in a couple times during our 4-night stay.
If traveling with a very active toddler, watch steps from driveway towards back patio (little bit of a tripping hazard), drawers in kitchen (many knives easily reachable in both), very high but comfortable beds (pullout couch bed included), and most electrical sockets low to the ground had Ring (security) motion detectors with bright blue, consistently on lights that were a huge attraction.
