A really nice stay!

The appartment is small but very cozy. It was clean and equipped with the necessary utensils. Really close to the ocean and the center of Kailua-Kona. We also enjoyed sitting by the table outside while having breakfast or in the evening. Marc is a really friendly host and everything went well.

Great local spot

Clean and convenient location for what we wanted for a 2 day stay. Great amenities for cooking and laundry. Only downside was noise from upstairs unit...but that's a "your miles may vary" situation. Overall a great place to stay!

Local Style

If you know Kona, it is definately local style (a good thing). It is great for 1 or 2 guest who want to do their thing in the village. Walking distance to all thats needed for those who want to stay young with the 10,000 steps per day. Not so much for the elderly who need to drive everywhere. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay and Centrally-Located

My partner and I had a great 3-night stay with Marc. The space is as described and check-in was easy. Marc was helpful in providing suggestions of activities as we had not fully fleshed out a plan. The location is great as it is walking distance to everything in town and provides a good home-base between different activities. We also appreciated that there were beach chairs and snorkel equipment that were available to us. Thank you!
