Best part of our trip

We LOVED this property! This was our probably 10th time on the island and we’ve stay so many different places. We all agreed this was by far our favorite spot. So relaxing and convenient and Jim was the most excellent host ever! Can’t wait to return next year!

Wonderful getaway on the Big Island

We had a fantastic stay at Jim’s apartment on the Kona coast. The amenities of the property were as listed, and made for a very comfortable stay for our family of three adults staying on the Big Island. We especially enjoyed breakfast and coffee on the outdoor patio, and the spacious yard. Jim was a fantastic host, with great communication and was easily accessible as needed. I would recommend to any friends, and hope to be able to stay again.on a future visit to Hawaii!

Jim fixed or replaced an inoperable grinder and gave me a tour of the property the morning after we checked in. There’s an outdoor shower and a hot tub. There’s also a view of the ocean from the patio. It was perfect

Great spot in Kona!

Very friendly owner, explained his property very well. The location was great, a really short walk from lots of restaurants and bars and beaches! Enough parking for two cars, the beds were comfortable and the view from the rental is amazing. Jim placed fans around the house to keep everyone cool and provides all sorts of Snorkel gear and booties for people to use. I couldn't have asked for more!

Perfect place for a stay in paradise

Ideal location and beautiful view! This has all of the amenities of home, the host was great to work with, and the I've been to Hawaii several times and always had issues with bugs no matter how clean the location but I don't think we saw more than a couple of ants and a spider while we were there. Amazing! My son also especially enjoyed the "free range chickens" that roamed the area. A great place to stay!

Fabulous stay

Wonderful place! Beautifully decorated and impeccably clean throughout. Really lovely common kitchen/dining/living room area. Bedrooms are cozy and comfy. Worked great for me, my college-aged daughter and teenaged son since my daughter and I shared the room with the adjoining twin beds. Sleeping configuration would also work well for a couple with young kids or 2 couples. Jim is an amazing host -- affable, helpful, really kind. We'd definitely stay here again.

Better than imagined

Jim was a beyond welcoming host- he met us after unloading our car and showed us all around the property. It’s well-stocked with beach gear and towels. The kitchen was fun to cook in and Jim had all of the necessary equipment on hand. The outdoor shower was a dream come true. My only regrets are not staying longer and forgetting to leave a six pack formUim :)
