This is a beautiful place to stay. Exceptionally clean, well stocked, quiet neighborhood, and a very nice view from the lanai. But beware, there is no a/c. We missed that on the listing and the surprise was not pleasant. But the owner is great and the fans in the house helped us through.

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!
