Amazing view and deck, responsive and engaging/friendly host, comfortable and cozy spot to stay in on the Kona Coast. We had a really excellent trip, and this was a great home base for it.
Very well located to restaurants and activities, this was in a very quiet residential neighborhood. The host was very helpful and kind.
We look forward to staying again!
We had a wonderful stay close to Kona but a bit removed from the crowds and heat. We didn't need to use the AC and everything was exactly as pictured. Great little balcony to eat meals and enjoy the view. Messaged the host who responded quickly to my question about the washer / dryer which we used twice since it was the end of our trip and we did lots of outdoor activities on our last 2 days. Would definitely stay again!
A nice clean apartment. Kitchen had all the usual amenities you'd want and a few more. A two burner hot plate is your cooking surface. There is no stove. Everything worked as it should. The balcony deck is fantastic with a great view and a nice place to enjoy your breakfast before heading to the beaches. Coqui frogs will sing you a chorus at night while you sit out there. All kinds of beach/snorkel gear were provided if you needed it. Chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach mats...
When I made the reservation, it was listed as one full (?) bed and roll out sofa. I was surprised to to find an additional full size bed in the living room. which worked out great for us. It should make it more "rentable" in the future. 2 wishes: 1) better directions to get to the property, e.g. make a turn onto Haleki'i St then ... 2) Have some kind of visual identifier to make sure we were at the correct property, e.g. a sign "Casa Grateful" or photo of the outside the house and door. We only verified our location by operating the door lock pad.
