Cozy Hawaiian studio just minutes to the beach and town. No minimum stay

Everything was as pictured. Room was clean and quiet. Having the beach chairs was a big plus!

Nice Hawaiiana feel to it. Away from the Ali’i Drive “hub-bub” but close enough to get to town in minutes. Nice place to relax and they provided beach trip essentials such as cooler bag, beach chairs, etc.

Having the beach chairs, umbrella and the beach bag .... was a awesome touch!!!! Thankyou so much 🙏

Great place for us to have a one night stay! If you don’t need to make meals, this will do! Easy in and out with being close to the street, even after dark!

I arrived after dark for a 1 night stay and followed instructions in email. Found location, parked where instructed and access to unit was very simple. Everything was as described and I would definitely stay at this location again. Very nice host. Thank you again.

Have easy access to, but be away from the main drag hubub. We got in pretty late, so didn't take full advantage, but if you have more time they had a lovely little porch and beach supplies. Be aware of limitations of kitchenette (island-wide regulations).

Our stay was wonderful! The room had everything we needed. The bed was super comfortable and the kitchen really convenient. Kim even gave us advice about transportation and places to visit. She even had beach chairs, towels and gear we could use. We had such a fun time!

Great location. Easy to get in and out of. Umbrella, cooler bag and chairs available for the beaches were perfect.

Nicely appointed studio with private lanai. Has all amenities one needs including stuff for fun at the beach.

Great place for a short stay. Comfortable bed and linens. Kitchenette handy and beach chairs a nice offering. Easy access and parking. Blinds could be upgraded.

We were going to stay here for our wedding night before an early flight out but noticed a cockroach outside and then found a large dead one under the bed. Since there’s no AC, the windows were open when we got there but it was hotter inside than outside. We did not stay the night and informed the host. She told us they sprayed for bugs but basically to suck it up because we were in the tropics. Could have just been a bad day for her but it was not a fun experience for us unfortunately.

Very easy to find and central to most everything on the Kona side. It was pretty much as described; but because we had stayed with my nephew the week before we were prepared for the lack of air conditioning, but I didn’t see that mentioned in the description. We were comfortable during our stay, but the floor fans did need to be cleaned off before using. We also did need to clean part of the refrigerator before putting our food in, and there were visible cobwebs in open floor areas. The shower pressure is great, and we didn’t hear any noise from above which meant for great sleeping. The fans combined with the street noise made for difficulty in hearing the tv. Be aware that while the listing does show a refrigerator, it is one without a freezer. This is a nice place but bathroom needs updating, and speakers on the sitting side (or a soundbar) would be helpful.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 days when we came in from Mississippi for my brothers wedding. Kim was an amazing host. From the minute I booked the place she greeted us and even gave us some suggestions of what to do and see while in Kona. Then once we arrived, it was later than we anticipated, but she helped navigate to where we were to enter. The room was immaculate and even more beautiful than the pictures. The bedsheets were the softest I have ever slept on. She had left notes on where things were, how to flush the toilet properly, and how to turn on the shower. Even supplied earplugs if needed as the room was off a semi active road. 10/10 would stay here again!!

Pros: - great location - safe - easy check in/check out - large studio - ambiance Cons: - old and outdated - insects and spider webs in all corners of the house - rusty bathroom and tub - no iron/steamer

Nicely decorated, fresh, and clean. Bathroom could use an update. Convenient location in a nice neighborhood. Felt very private. Would say here again.

Clean studio and great location for our overnight stay in Kona! We definitely would have stayed here longer if we were in the area more than one night. We loved how convenient and close it was to everything we wanted to see.

This property was not at all the way it was represented in the listing. When we first arrived, we were disappointed in the rental, having just left a beautiful property on the other side of the island. The place is run down, and we found black mold and ants in the bathroom. The traffic noise at night is terrible with cars revving their engines right outside the bedroom. The last straw was when my daughter found ants in her breakfast cereal and we left. The host was very rude and defensive, instead of apologizing she denied our complaints, although we had pictures and have submitted them to VRBO. She refused to refund our remaining two nights, and told us that she would only refund the box of cereal. This property is not in good condition, and is certainly not what we expected. While many owners take pride in their rentals, this one is clearly all about making profit. I would not recommend this property and feel that it should not be listed on VRBO unless significant changes are made.

Everything was clean and tidy. Very close to downtown Kona and beaches.

Very clean, quiet. I would stay here anytime

Nice clean place in a good location. Short drive (5-7 minutes) to some great restaurants. Highly recommended.

Clean, well decorated studio. Comfy bed and a nice shower. Very convenient location in Kona. No AC but plenty of windows and 3 fans so it cooled down to a comfortable temperature, especially at night. We enjoyed our stay!

some road noise and no AC

Floor fans were filthy, old and rusty. PVC white blinds don't darken the room and none of them were closed. Fans were not on, host lives upstairs, could have made an effort to cool the place down since she knew that I would only be there for a few hours. I would not stay there or recommend this place. Very expensive for what you get and I did not feel welcomed. Host was asked to provide for an early check in since I was only there for a few hours before catching my flight that same day which I made clear to her. She offered me 2PM and her usual check in is at 3PM. I asked her to call me if it was ready earlier. She did not. She sent a message through VRBO that it was ready at 1:30PM and I did not see that message until I checked in at 2PM. I tried to sleep after I went to get something to eat and could not because it was too loud from the street traffic and also much too hot. I left the place at 6PM. The positive is that the bed is very comfortable and other than the fans being dirty and rusty, the rest of the place was very clean. My opinion is that at the price being charged per night, AC can be installed and black out curtains or blinds can be used to cover the windows. Of all the VRBO's I have rented, this has been the worst in terms of price/quality/amenities ratio.

The space is small so an extended stay may be a little difficult with 2+ people but it is perfect for a couple that’s looking for an affordable stay! It’s clean organized and has the basic amenities! Bed was comfy!

It’s a nice and cozy studio but the location is a bit noisy

Very nice little place in a convenient location. No complaints except for could use some air conditioning.

Very clean and cute. But since there is no AC you have to sleep with the windows open and there is a lot of traffic.

The place had everything i needed for reasonable price. Bed is comfy!!

The property is very dated. Portable fan is rusted and dirty. It's quite hot inside the studio at night due to direct exposure to after sun. Can't leave all windows open at night because if safety concerns. It's right by the street and there is no barrier from the street to the front door of the house. sun

great place for the two of us - we enjoyed it only tho we were there one night - easy to get to from the airport. Nice lanai to sit on for morning tea. Very accommodating host, would definitely rebook - was my first time booking a vrbo and host was very responsive to my messages. Many thanks!

We were so upset that our flight was cancelled due to an ice storm and were unable to get to this spot, communication was excellent, again wish the weather would have let us get there

It was perfect for what we needed. Very comfy and cozy. Convenient location. Manager responses very timely. I would stay there again. mahalo!

Thank for the great communication and comfortable stay.

Our host was easy to contact and available for our special needs. Cozy and clean. Highly recommend it.

Great, cute place, very accurate description, easy check in & out, perfect directions from the host. Everything you need for your travels around the island.

The property is cute. I understand their note said there could be critters roaches and mice. There was ant bait on the counter also. We never saw the roaches or mice but the first night we had a few ants. The second night we weren't able to sleep we kept getting bit all night. It wasn't until morning that we realized there were little red ants all over the bed and couch. I have had a hard time reaching out to the owner or getting a response except she cleaned the place herself.

We enjoyed staying in this property for our short trip! The host was super helpful with check in to make sure we could operate the door. Close to beaches, restaurants, shops and more!

Nice Hawaiiana feel to it. Away from the Ali’i Drive “hub-bub” but close enough to get to town in minutes. Nice place to relax and they provided beach trip essentials such as cooler bag, beach chairs, etc.

We just had one night here but felt very at home and comfortable in this stay. The unit had everything we could need, and it was a great location not too far from the main strip in Kona. We would stay here again!

Outstanding location, easy drive to anything in Kona (restaurants, shore line, highway, etc). Great place for those on a budget with everything needed for a short or longer stay (we stayed 8 nights).

Near the main road and town. Great for our first night on the island.

Location was close to town, restaurants & shopping.

Very good central location. Near shops and restaurants as well as snorkeling, kayaking and hiking. We enjoyed meeting the property owners Kim and Scott. The studio was fun, bright, cheerful, and had everything we needed. Thank you!
