"We stayed in Maile Room. This is a nice property, and the host is very responsive and welcoming. One major thing to BEWARE: the bed is very firm, squeaky and uncomfortable, especially for side sleepers. Pillows are limited and not suitable for side sleepers as well. It is not just my opinion, my wife and I stayed in three different places on the Big Island, and this is the first time we had this issue. It is really something that can be fixed for the future guests, especially for the price of the stay. Otherwise this is a nice place, clean and well decorated room, beautiful property surroundings. Access to a hot tub is a bonus as well.…"

Kailua-Kona

The former home of the Hawaiian royals is today an exciting town showcasing the vibrant local culture. Known as Kona to the locals, the western hub of Hawaii’s Big Island is as important today as it was to the ancient Hawaiians. Once the home of the kings and royalty of the island, today Kailua-Kona is a popular destination for history lovers, sport fishermen and those who just come to enjoy the sun.

Kailua-Kona’s western location means it is protected from the trade winds that bring rain to much of the island, and instead enjoys over 300 days of sunshine each year. Spend the day on the water with a fishing rod in your hand. Chartered fishing trips are available and the Kailua Pier is a favorite spot among locals.

Take in the beautiful sunset from the pier while you wait for the fish to bite. Like much of the island, Kailua-Kona offers great spots to dive, swim and surf. You can rent equipment from a number of operators within the town.

Kailua-Kona was a trade hub for the ancient Hawaiians, and there is much history to discover. Visit the former home of Hawaiian royals at the Hulihe’e Palace. Walk along the town’s main thoroughfare, Ali’i Drive, to reach the oldest Christian church in the state, the Mokuaikaua Church. The historic village can be explored with a guided tour, available from within town.

Try the local cuisine at one of the town’s many popular restaurants before you venture out to enjoy Kailua-Kona’s thriving nightlife. There are many bars lining the beach, creating a relaxed atmosphere to meet the locals.

Transportation in Kailua-Kona is limited and most visitors rent a car. There are a number of rental companies both in town and at the Kona International Airport.
