There is a supermarket close-by, there are beautiful beaches at 15-20 minutes driving distance and the Kona harbor is 10-15 minutes away. We’ve chosen the studio which offers plenty of room and has a nice terrace, you will definitely enjoy your morning coffee or dinner there.

    Cozy room, in a tranquil place. It feels like a homestay instead of a hotel. Very clean and feel-good, with beach and wave sounds to drift you off gently to sleep. It is great for solo trips and a perfect snorkeling spot right next to my stay!

    Location was great. Short walking distance to a popular family oriented beach park. Set back from main street so no street noise. Stands up to name "retreat". The use of on-site beach equipment like noodle, snorkel gear, boogie board was so handy, especially for overseas visitors. It meant we could enjoy the beach the same as locals or mainland visitors i.e. no need to tow around our own personal beach aids. Also a fantastic detailed guidebook of the island provided in the room. Free parking for the car.

    Location 5 minute walk to beach and bus stop which takes you to downtown kona. Room spotless and bed super comfy. Self catering kitchen inside bedroom or if you need cooking facilities theres a communal kitchen area. Lovely hosts, though didn't meet in person, they were very responsive on texts and let me store my bags there for a few hours after check out.

    Very close to the beach and a nice casual restaurant. but best of all was the owner of the home stay, Mychelle. She was so welcoming and helpful and kept in touch so well. We had complete privacy when we wanted it. Very comfortable.
