Very relaxing front porch and very well stocked with all our needs. Great selection of beach chairs and swimming gear for us to use while staying as well! Highly, highly, highly recommend this place. Thanks again for helping us make great memories on our first trip to Hawaii!!"

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this lovely property! From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly responsive and helpful—answering questions quickly and making sure everything was perfect for our arrival. His warm hospitality truly made a difference.The home itself was spotless—very clean and well-maintained, which we really appreciated. It had a distant ocean view that made mornings and evenings feel extra peaceful and relaxing. Sipping coffee on the lanai in the early morning or winding down at sunset, became our favorite part of each day.Another big plus was the location, only 6-7 minutes from the airport and conveniently located for access to Kailua Kona and island attractions."
