"We assumed a hospitality listing would have A/C in a warm climate. We were wrong. Warm temps were uncomfortable. There is minimal privacy for couples. The windows are covered only by screens which can be covered by shutter blinds with gaps. One window in the front room has no covering except a screen - so anyone around can always hear into the residence at all times. A second VRBO residence on the property requires its residents to walk right by that open window to get to their residence. The lack of A/C requires residents to keep the windows open for air anyway. The windows being open reduces privacy given the proximity of other VRBO residents and the homeowner. And lastly, the windows being open at night prevents residents from blocking out the extremely loud noise of the frogs that live in the trees at night. The pool is shown in the pictures as being private, yet it is behind the property owner’s house. To put it mildly, everything that I expected about this stay was deceptively advertised in the posting. "

"Cute cottage in a serene and unique location! Very close to Kona and the beach while also feeling remote. Lisa is a communicative and thoughtful host."

"Place was great. Hosts were accommodating, highly recommend "

"Wonderful beachfront home on perfectly quiet road. This home was exactly what we had hoped for. We stayed for a week with our family of 4. Our teens loved having the ocean in their backyard where they fished and snorkeled daily. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed. "

"Very peaceful!"

"The apartment was very comfortable with everything we needed. Views were beautiful. "

"Had a fantastic stay. Unit was perfect for our family’s needs. Amazing to have all the beach gear handy. Kids loved the boogie boards, beach chairs and towels. Quick 3min drive to grocery store. Made it easy to relax and get right into holiday mode! Loved it!"

"The property sits high on a hill, good spot for sunsets. We recommend getting there during daylight but we've arrived after dark before and the host was able to guide us to the lodging. We like coming here for several nights at the start of our trip, it's not that far from the airport and it's nice and private. The bed had a nice cozy comforter and the bed was comfortable."

"Fabulous home that suited our family’s needs from aged 3-88. Kitchen was expertly equipped, and we ended up cooking in every night! We used all of the sport courts, and well as the SUPs and bikes. Best of all- the outdoor spaces with pool, patios and a spectacular water front setting. "
