No air conditioning should be prominent part of the listing. We stayed for only 1 night out of 4 reserved - due to the humidity and lack of air movement. Very steep climb to park and "bed and breakfast" meant you fix your own food. Advertised ocean view was very minimal. No staff on site.

Did not like the bldg for a disabled person. Stairs too hard to go down and too dark to drive uphill.Property was not described correctly until I have paid the rental fee. Did not use the property at all and was charged for 3 nights! I need refund of my money. I was disappointed as this is me and my husband’s first trip to Hawaii.

Spent a weekend Kona side because a friend flew in. Communication was good, room was clean, all necessities provided, comfortable bed, easy entry on check in. Would definitely stay again for a affordable get away spot.

Convenient location to awesome snorkling beach. Clean. Like it! Hawaii style property: you can hear all noises. If you need a quiet accommodation, this hotel is not for you.

Wonderful stay in Kailua-Kona
Very nice small condo complex, right up above the Kahalu’u beach park: you can walk to the park in 3 min, and avoid parking fee there. Adequately equipped, but as always: if you intend to cook much, make sure you check in one of your bags, and bring along a good chef’s knife, and maybe another one of your choice. We always do: condos never stock hi quality knives (they wouldn’t last), and the knives that are provided can’t be used expected to be sharp - they take too much abuse. Otherwise we found everything we needed, and enjoyed it a lot!
