The property was very nice for the price!
Our stay was fine, but the VRBO app needs a major upgrade.

Great location!
The property is just as listed with a very comfortable deck for chilling. We loved the location that is walking distance from the beach, shopping, restaurants and coffee shops. They also have beach items available and free like chairs and snorkels.

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.

Our last night
Owners met us as we drove in Very helpful, knowledgeable about the area. Great bungalow
The open space and gentle breezes coming through the apt. were wonderful. The beds were very comfortable also. The kitchen is well equipped. The sitting areas outside and in were comfortable also. We were very pleased with our stay.

Good Kona Location
We needed a place to stay in Kona after arriving at 8 pm. The rental was great for our family with two adult kids. Host was very friendly and communicated well.

Great local property
Original Hawaiian design. The place was amazing. Close to everything in town. Hosts were friendly and communicative. Easy check-in and check out. Highly recommended will definitely book again if it’s available. Thanks so much.
Great place, walking distance everything. So quiet and peaceful. Easy access and parking. Comfortable beds, clean, loved decor and an island experience. we absolutely loved it!! Excellent!
This place was perfect for us—in town for 2 nights. Wanted a place close to airport and easy to get to sights. Great location. In the neighborhood, which I like, amongst the local folks. Felt safe and space provided everything that we needed. We used smoke equipment and towels for our venture. Great experience!

Great location, everything we needed
Nice place to stay with plenty of space. Great location to restaurants in Kona. Had a parking spot which was awesome. Marc was friendly and welcoming. Cooked dinner in the kitchen which was good too.
Marc was friendly, communicative, and flexible. We were able to check in a little early and the property was immaculately clean when we arrived. It's a pretty no-nonsense place with few amenities (no air conditioning!) but it was safe and comfortable. Some noise overnight from neighbours (we had the windows open for the breeze) but nothing outrageous.
