Great location, easy walk into town

We had everything we needed and were happy with our stay. Having a place to park off-street was a very nice perk, especially since the unit is so close to everything that we just left the car there and walked everywhere. Looking forward to our next visit to Kona!

Stay Here

If you are looking for a comfortable and affordable place look no further. While it may be a few blocks away from the beach it is a great place to stay. Anybody offering a negative review would be nitpicking. As an 8-year owner/host of a short-term rental I can attest to this place being top notch. It is very well provisioned with kitchen needs including lots of condiments, spices, etc. There is a great variety of sports gear and a washer and dryer. You truly could not do better.

We flew to the Flying Honu

We had a cozy stay at an apartment above a garage, where we parked our rental car. We knew we were renting in a neighborhood and not in a hotel so there are pros and cons to that. However, the landlords were really friendly and let us borrow boogie boards, masks, and snorkels, and use the washing machine. Overall, it was a great location to do things all around the island and we had a pleasant stay.
