About this property

Ocean Views In Paradise

THIS IS A NO SMOKING/NO DRUGS UNIT/PROPERTY

CLEANING FEE covers disinfecting and cleaning, laundering etc of unit before AND after. Should you assist (at time of checkout) with tossing all your excess food and bringing your bedding and towels to me, I will refund $50 of your cleaning deposit. THIS IS OPTIONAL AND NOT REQUIRED. Carpets are professionally shampooed.

LOCATION:
Conveniently located "In Town".... 2 or 3 minutes from the Ocean and most amenities and excursions, 5 miles from Honokohau Harbor, and 8 miles from Kona Airport. Grocery stores, convenience stores, gift shops, tourists attractions, Coffee Shops, Movie Theatre, Snorkeling, Paddleboarding, Kayaking, Whale Watching, Swimming with Dolphins and Night Snorkel/Dive with the Manta Rays (a MUST!), and several beaches all within minutes of this Unit!

UNIT DESCRIPTION:
Hosted Ohana Unit. Approximately 670 ft. elevation and easy access to main highway ("Queen K"). NO SMOKING allowed within unit and only in designated areas located on the property.

Two story one bedroom full bath with kitchenette unit with a two stool dinette. Private entrance and plenty of parking available. Ocean View.

Kitchenette located on lower level with very small living area and flatscreen 42" LED Smart TV w/DVD player. Power recliner loveseat. Internet available. Microwave, induction single burner (no stove or oven), coffee maker, full size fridge, and dinette table with two stools.

Upstairs has travertine flooring with a comfortable SINGLE king size bed (ocean view), closet, and full bath. Ceiling fans on both floors. Portable A/C unit avail upstairs. Ceiling fans are also in unit. Linens, towels/beach towels, some toiletries available. Air Purifier portable unit also available upon request.

Outdoor seating available in front of the residence as well as unit side of residence. Access to use of Washer and Dryer , no extra charge, but requires prior arrangement. (*large bird and bird cage are in the rear lanai with the dining table)

Mature and QUIET neighborhood/neighbors. More suitable for one to two persons. Downstairs space and twin sleeper can accommodate third person but tight space with little to no walk around space while bed is opened up.

NOT suitable for babies/toddlers (older child would be fine).

IMPORTANT:

Animals reside on the premises. NOT RECOMMENDED IF YOU DO NOT LIKE ANIMALS AND/OR ARE ALLERGIC TO ANIMALS. The animals will NOT have access to within the unit. Single Macaw is quiet 98 percent of the time - ALWAYS quiet at night 100%. He occasionally squawks (he does occasionally talk), or unless an intruder is a threat (my feathered guard dog). Guests are more than welcome to meet and interact/pet with animals when they are out and about on property with initial introduction. (However Macaw/bird requires supervision if you are interested in holding or petting. When looking at or watching … no supervision needed). My animals are friendly but dogs do alert to strangers/intruders.

Check in time 3:00 PM and check out time NOON. Times can be flexible with ADVANCE reasonable notice to owner. Flight arrival time and departure times are required upon booking so I can be sure unit is disinfected, cleaned and prepped for your arrival and also to be certain there is no conflict with other booked guests.

*****Unit is cleaned and disinfected thoroughly before AND after each guest(s). This unit is used for my own friends and family members and is sanitized/cleaned good enough for them or even for myself to stay in.*****.

Used bath towels are required to be given to me to be washed after 2 to 3 days of use (there are plenty provided in the unit). Due to the humidity of the island I would like to insure minimizing any potential for mold/mildew or any skin diseases (as island Dr recommended to me from his experience). I will gladly wash your beach wear, towels etc for you and dry (I do not fold). Or you are welcome to use washer and dryer on your own but with advance notice.

There are absolutely no security cameras (hidden or otherwise) anywhere within the unit. There ARE security cameras OUTSIDE of the residence (and within the inside of only the interior of MY side of the residence that I live in) FYI

Amazing Host and Great Location

Cynthia is genuinely such a thoughtful, kind and helpful person. She really went out of her way to make sure we had a great stay and to help us make arrangements outside of just our accommodation. The location of her property is a very short drive away from all the places and amenities that we wanted to get to during our visit to Kona.

Nice place away from busy Kona, but close enough to enjoy all it has to offer. Cynthia was a great host and I would highly recommend staying here. Clean and comfortable. The outdoor shower was great for taking care of my diving gear, and great cycling right out the front door.

I had a great stay at Cynthia's. It was just me and my husband and she was the BEST host! She was so accommodating -always there to help. She had coffee, unlimited water, offered rides (even if I had a rental car), did my laundry, and gave me a celebratory bottle of wine. Will definitely stay with Cynthia again!

Gracious owner, comfortable suite

C. Johnson went out of her way to make our stay informative and pleasant. The suite was immaculate and easily surpassed our expectations. Ms. Johnson actually played guide for us on her own time and buck. She lives in the home and is available with advice, amenities, and assistance. We could not have been more pleased with our stay and should we return to the big island, her facility would surely be our first choice for accommodations. She gives vacation rentals a good name.

We had never stayed in a unit like this.... So Glad we did. It was CLEAN, comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood. Cynthia was kind and generous and gave us such great treats, tips and info about the area. She was available, but not intrusive. We loved her pets! We used the beach towels, chairs and beach mat every day! The unit is well-appointed with a full-sized fridge and a Keurig. The A/C upstairs kept us perfectly cool. Mahalo, Cynthia! See you next summer!

Cynthia is a lovely person and she has a lovely home. She takes much care to ensure you have everything you need and more. King size beauty rest bed was heaven. There are stairs to bedroom and bath, but they are carpeted with ample landings. The kitchen is stocked with all your needs and bath supplies are aplenty. Very safe neighborhood to park car plus a funny group of pets you can enjoy as company. If you are not a pet person, then you most likely won’t need to encounter them, but I very much enjoyed watching Sampson play soccer with himself!

Loved it!

There is no way to convey how very much we enjoyed our stay here. I initially decided on this property based on all the positive reviews. When I contacted Cynthia she responded quickly and addressed any concerns. Looking at the pictures of the property, we were hooked. We arrived early, which was no problem. We had such a great time and upon learning I wanted to see turtles, she personally took us to her favorite spot and showed us the turtles. She recommended restaurants and was a wealth of information. When we decided to relax at home, the outdoor area was comfortable and inviting. Truly, we so enjoyed our visit here and would highly recommended you enjoy it too. A big thank you to Cynthia for everything! A truly memorable visit.

DISSAPOINTED.......

TOO FAR FROM THE OCEAN The unit is located 50 minutes from the Ali'i/shore meaning that the pictures are decieving. From them it looks like you are near the ocean. You can not walk back from the ocean to the place. NOT FOR SMOKERS Our first encounter with the owner was her coming to us almost yelling that she is allergic to cigaret smoke that was coming from the porch (outisde) into the house aparently and that if I want to smoke Ineed to be further away. The owner also came at 4 am to me saying we cannot smoke on the porch, which had astray. NOT MEANT FOR THREE PEOPLE The unit is very small so we wouldn't recommend more than two people staying there. RULES The owner Cynthja kept coming into the unit (even if she meant well it didnt feel nice). She also kept telling us to close the two doors from the entrance. One glass and one anti mosquito door. It allmade sense but if you go into rhe unit to grab your phone and go back out right after that she would already have a problem with that... which isnotpleasant and you feel like you are being watched and under control. CHECK OUT You need to literally clean the apartment. Take off the bedding, take out the trash, bring her the towels and so on... However in the price you payed for cleaning so you would expect that you wouldnt need to do that and that the owner or cleaning lady would do that. There is also a thick layer of dust under the bed indicating it hasnt been cleaned in awhile. Most likely the towels nadthe bedding were theonly onces that were changed. ANIMALS Also she has 2 dogs and 2 cats so keep that in mind as well for she will letthem walk around. It depends if you like that or not.

Very comfortable unit conveniently located in Kailua-Kona

This unit was definitely like a home away from home. Bedroom is very spacious with king bed, dresser, closet, and nightstands. Ceiling fan helps circulate air throughout the unit and a portable AC unit is available for the very hot and humidity months. There is a good view of the ocean from the bedroom window. Bathroom is well kept and stocked with TP, soap, shampoo/conditioner, and other supplies (some left by other renters). Cutely decorated throughout. Kitchen is on the lower, entry level. It is small but sufficiently large and equipped (hot plate with pots & pans; microwave; toaster; Keurig; and other small applianances; full size refrigerator/freezer) to make full breakfasts, lunch, and dinner. An easy chair and a small couch w/ fold-out bed are in the kitchen area for seating. A small patio area with outdoor seating is also available with the unit. For those beach / water days, an outdoor shower and sink is available for easy clean up. Location is super convenient. Very close to the airport (driving about 15 min), harbor (about 10 min), downtown Kailua-Kona (5-7 min). Shopping (Safeway, Walmart, and Target) about 5-7 min away (within 1-3 traffic lights) so you can easily run out to pick up your necessities - bonus, Safeway is open 24 h! Costco is also close, about 10 min (between the airport and harbor). Neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe. Drives to Hilo (just under 2 h) and the Volcano Park (about 2 h) are easy from the unit. Host Cynthia (on-site, on her side of the house) is the absolute best. She kept the unit stocked with all amenities, including water. She even gave us some fruit, refreshments, and other eats. Cynthia is a fountain of knowledge on the area and her hints and suggestions for activities were spot on. The manta ray snorkel/dive is definitely a must-do. To keep towels fresh, she asks you for them every 2-3 days and will even wash your laundry with them. I felt like we were staying with a friend and not just renting a unit. Thank you Cynthia for making our stay fabulous. If you're looking for accommodations for 2 (or 3), you need not look further. This is an awesome choice. I'm not sure why there are a few negative reviews - there is nothing negative about this unit or Cynthia. We will certainly stay here again when we return.
