Best part of our trip

We LOVED this property! This was our probably 10th time on the island and we’ve stay so many different places. We all agreed this was by far our favorite spot. So relaxing and convenient and Jim was the most excellent host ever! Can’t wait to return next year!

Wonderful getaway on the Big Island

We had a fantastic stay at Jim’s apartment on the Kona coast. The amenities of the property were as listed, and made for a very comfortable stay for our family of three adults staying on the Big Island. We especially enjoyed breakfast and coffee on the outdoor patio, and the spacious yard. Jim was a fantastic host, with great communication and was easily accessible as needed. I would recommend to any friends, and hope to be able to stay again.on a future visit to Hawaii!

Better than imagined

Jim was a beyond welcoming host- he met us after unloading our car and showed us all around the property. It’s well-stocked with beach gear and towels. The kitchen was fun to cook in and Jim had all of the necessary equipment on hand. The outdoor shower was a dream come true. My only regrets are not staying longer and forgetting to leave a six pack formUim :)

So Awesome!!

This place was so Awesome, you can't go wrong here. We came to Kona for our 40th Anniversary and this place couldn't have been better. It was wonderful and peaceful for the most part. You can hear the neighbors and the traffic but the view and the room were so awesome the closeness to other people didn't really matter. The host was wonderful and informative about the area and we will definitely book this room if available the next time we come. No AC but at night it cools enough with the windows open and the fans going to be very comfortable. Can't say enough wonderful things about this room.

Fabulous stay

Wonderful place! Beautifully decorated and impeccably clean throughout. Really lovely common kitchen/dining/living room area. Bedrooms are cozy and comfy. Worked great for me, my college-aged daughter and teenaged son since my daughter and I shared the room with the adjoining twin beds. Sleeping configuration would also work well for a couple with young kids or 2 couples. Jim is an amazing host -- affable, helpful, really kind. We'd definitely stay here again.

Easy going and well appointed

The property was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Walking to coffee, dinner, the beach, or local shopping was mostly easy. The street past the property can be quite busy and has no sidewalk. The host provided towels and bleach gear for our use, which was very appreciated. WiFi was fast, linens were fresh, and there were enough fans to make sleeping very comfortable. We’re already considering our next visit - thanks again!

Nice stay in Kona

Jim was great and mad our stay very enjoyable. The place is comfortable and well equipped. Kona Village is close (less than 5 minutes by car and a 15 minute walk). The road is not conducive for walking (no sidewalk for a section of it), so you need to be nibble and keep your head on a swivel if you like to walk. The location is very convenient - but the price you pay is noise from traffic. That is true anywhere and Kona is no exception. Overall, we had a great time!

Kona Paradise!!

I am not even sure where to start! Jim was an incredible host; welcoming and made us feel right at home. The condo was very well stocked with all the comforts of home and was clean and well-appointed. The rooms were spacious and bright. We were happily surprised at the well-stocked beach supplies including chairs, towels, snorkel gear and boogie boards. We enjoy experiencing new places on foot so the location was awesome in both directions on Ali’i Drive to really feel a part of the action. We recommend this listing 100% and will always hold this vacation near and dear to our hearts. Mahalo Kimo!
