"This is the best place to stay in Kona, Waikoloa in particular. Situated on a golf course, on a hill, it has a BREEZE and beautiful views. The condos are well kept and had been recently remodeled… this is our third time staying here…7 minutes to Waikoloa Beach and 15 min to Hapuna. Also 30 min to Waimea. Totally recommend this place! It’s legit the best! "
"The kitchen had all the required dishes, pot and pans and then some. The blenders were a big plus. The pool and water slide are amazing. And the hot tub got lots of use. At only 1 hour from Volcanos NP this is a good choice for volcano watching.This place would get 5 stars but for the need for a bit of maintenance around the place. And too much piled up old furniture and what not. You will enjoy this place while thinking that it needs a bit of TLC."
Beautiful ocean views located minutes away from Waipio Valley
10/10 Excellent
"We were a party of 3 and our stay here was enjoyable and comfortable. Adelina is a welcoming and great host. The studio is not far from Honokaa town center. The town itself is quaint with a couple of good cafes and a few good restaurants. The studio is very close to Waipio Valley.It's centrally located, Waimea is 30 minutes. Beaches in Waikoloa and Waikoloa is 45 minutes. Hilo is 50 minutes.I will certainly stay there again."
"This was amazing! Great staff, great location AND there's even a swimming hole (5 min walk, if that) with a waterfall! I've never stayed in a shared house before, but this one has spoiled me! It's close enough to be able to drive to all the good tourist spots. Oh, and hopefully you're there for the "big" farmers market on Saturdays. If I get back to the Big Island I'll be coming back here! Thank you for the great time!"
