Avi's property was beautiful. Everything is fresh and new. The apartment uses space thoughtfully. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and the view from the private patio is wonderful. Avi communicates well and has a house book with everything you need to know and great recommendations. It is conveniently located to everything on the Kailua- Kona side. Perfect spot for a quiet getaway for a couple or single.
We stayed here for 9 days and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, Avi made us feel completely welcome. The home was immaculately clean, thoughtfully designed, and stocked with everything we needed.
Every window and sliding door had screens, letting us enjoy the island breeze without worrying about bugs. The small backyard was peaceful and private, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The added bonus of AC made a big difference, as it is not always standard in rentals.
Inside, the space was exceptionally well-equipped. We had quality beach chairs, towels, and a kitchenette that made meals easy. The house book of local recommendations was a great touch and helped us discover hidden gems around the Big Island.
Avi was an outstanding host, always quick to respond, thoughtful, and proactive. Knowing we wanted to see the volcano erupt, he kept us updated on its activity, which made the experience even more memorable.
The neighborhood was quiet, safe, and ideally located. I especially loved the nearby Walua Road trail for walks and jogs.
This place truly felt like a home away from home. We are so grateful for everything and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend, thank you Avi!

Hidden gem for sure!
Planned a quick trip:1 night Kona, 1 Hilo (see Kiluaea) & 2 Kona. Delighted to have found Avi's home. Photos do not do it justice. Everything you might need (less to pack). Beautiful, peaceful area. What really made it special is Avi's attentiveness to make your stay tailored to your wishes.. can't wait to visit again!!
