Guests are more than welcome to meet and interact/pet with animals when they are out and about on property or even if requested should they be in my side.

My animals are friendly but dog does alert to strangers/intruders.

Used bath towels are required to be given to me to be washed after 2 to 3 days of use (there are plenty provided in the unit). Due to the humidity of the island I would like to insure minimizing any potential for mold/mildew or any skin diseases (as island Dr recommended to me from his experience). I will gladly wash your beach wear, towels etc for you and dry (I do not fold). Or you are welcome to use washer and dryer on your own but with advance notice. There are absolutely no security cameras (hidden or otherwise) anywhere within the unit.

Ms. Johnson actually played guide for us on her own time and buck. She lives in the home and is available with advice, amenities, and assistance. We could not have been more pleased with our stay and should we return to the big island, her facility would surely be our first choice for accommodations.

It was CLEAN, comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood. Cynthia was kind and generous and gave us such great treats, tips and info about the area. She was available, but not intrusive. We loved her pets! We used the beach towels, chairs and beach mat every day! The unit is well-appointed with a full-sized fridge and a Keurig. The A/C upstairs kept us perfectly cool.

She takes much care to ensure you have everything you need and more. King size beauty rest bed was heaven. There are stairs to bedroom and bath, but they are carpeted with ample landings. The kitchen is stocked with all your needs and bath supplies are aplenty. Very safe neighborhood to park car plus a funny group of pets you can enjoy as company. If you are not a pet person, then you most likely won’t need to encounter them, but I very much enjoyed watching Sampson play soccer with himself! ##### Seana Z.

There is no way to convey how very much we enjoyed our stay here. I initially decided on this property based on all the positive reviews. When I contacted Cynthia she responded quickly and addressed any concerns. Looking at the pictures of the property, we were hooked. We arrived early, which was no problem. We had such a great time and upon learning I wanted to see turtles, she personally took us to her favorite spot and showed us the turtles. She recommended restaurants and was a wealth of information. When we decided to relax at home, the outdoor area was comfortable and inviting. Truly, we so enjoyed our visit here and would highly recommended you enjoy it too. A big thank you to Cynthia for everything! A truly memorable visit. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andreja L. May 19, 2022 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### DISSAPOINTED....... TOO FAR FROM THE OCEAN The unit is located 50 minutes from the Ali'i/shore meaning that the pictures are decieving. From them it looks like you are near the ocean. You can not walk back from the ocean to the place. NOT FOR SMOKERS Our first encounter with the owner was her coming to us almost yelling that she is allergic to cigaret smoke that was coming from the porch (outisde) into the house aparently and that if I want to smoke Ineed to be further away. The owner also came at 4 am to me saying we cannot smoke on the porch, which had astray. NOT MEANT FOR THREE PEOPLE The unit is very small so we wouldn't recommend more than two people staying there. RULES The owner Cynthja kept coming into the unit (even if she meant well it didnt feel nice). She also kept telling us to close the two doors from the entrance. One glass and one anti mosquito door. It allmade sense but if you go into rhe unit to grab your phone and go back out right after that she would already have a problem with that... which isnotpleasant and you feel like you are being watched and under control. CHECK OUT You need to literally clean the apartment. Take off the bedding, take out the trash, bring her the towels and so on... However in the price you payed for cleaning so you would expect that you wouldnt need to do that and that the owner or cleaning lady would do that. There is also a thick layer of dust under the bed indicating it hasnt been cleaned in awhile. Most likely the towels nadthe bedding were theonly onces that were changed. ANIMALS Also she has 2 dogs and 2 cats so keep that in mind as well for she will letthem walk around. It depends if you like that or not. ##### Andreja L.

Bedroom is very spacious with king bed, dresser, closet, and nightstands. Ceiling fan helps circulate air throughout the unit and a portable AC unit is available for the very hot and humidity months. There is a good view of the ocean from the bedroom window. Bathroom is well kept and stocked with TP, soap, shampoo/conditioner, and other supplies (some left by other renters). Cutely decorated throughout. Kitchen is on the lower, entry level. It is small but sufficiently large and equipped (hot plate with pots & pans; microwave; toaster; Keurig; and other small applianances; full size refrigerator/freezer) to make full breakfasts, lunch, and dinner. An easy chair and a small couch w/ fold-out bed are in the kitchen area for seating. A small patio area with outdoor seating is also available with the unit. For those beach / water days, an outdoor shower and sink is available for easy clean up. Location is super convenient. Very close to the airport (driving about 15 min), harbor (about 10 min), downtown Kailua-Kona (5-7 min). Shopping (Safeway, Walmart, and Target) about 5-7 min away (within 1-3 traffic lights) so you can easily run out to pick up your necessities - bonus, Safeway is open 24 h! Costco is also close, about 10 min (between the airport and harbor). Neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe. Drives to Hilo (just under 2 h) and the Volcano Park (about 2 h) are easy from the unit. Host Cynthia (on-site, on her side of the house) is the absolute best. She kept the unit stocked with all amenities, including water. She even gave us some fruit, refreshments, and other eats. Cynthia is a fountain of knowledge on the area and her hints and suggestions for activities were spot on. The manta ray snorkel/dive is definitely a must-do. To keep towels fresh, she asks you for them every 2-3 days and will even wash your laundry with them. I felt like we were staying with a friend and not just renting a unit. Thank you Cynthia for making our stay fabulous. If you're looking for accommodations for 2 (or 3), you need not look further. This is an awesome choice. I'm not sure why there are a few negative reviews - there is nothing negative about this unit or Cynthia. We will certainly stay here again when we return. ##### Vivian N.
