Our room and bathroom were super clean and tidy. It seemed the entire property was maintained in excellent condition. We arrive at night and were surprised to see how close to the beach we were in the morning!

This was the perfect oasis for our brief stay in Kona. Far enough away from the crowded downtown area but still super close, we love the room, the beach access, and the convenience. Very quiet area, and tastefully decorated and clean. We would definitely stay here again!

Clean and comfortable and a quick walk to a nice snorkeling beack and rental bikes. Washer & dryer on premises. Parking is free, but spaces are very small. Can hear the surf all night (no a/c but it isnt necessary). Outdoor kitchen for bbq etc. About 4 mi from all the hubbub in old Kona-town. Would definitely return to this place!

Overall, it was a good little place. However, not to be nitpicky, it didn't have a sofa and the bathroom requires leaving the room. Not the end of the world, but a consideration when choosing a room. I didn't care for it. Close to to the beach, a nice bar and restaurants nearby. Clean. The staff forgot we were coming (surprise!) When we arrived, but seemed like a nice kid.

The property was immaculate with beautiful landscaping. The rooms were clean, light and airy. The neighborhood was quiet. Within 1/2 a mile of shopping and the best L&L Barbecue we’ve ever tried! I loved the precious little day geckos too. They have snorkeling equipment, beach umbrellas, coolers and beach chairs to use and even a cute little library for guests. Looking forward to spending time here again with family and friends.

Big island retreat is located in a super quiet and beautiful area near the shore. Our guest room (orchid) was clean and spacious with a partial sea view, and our check in was very convenient. Two minor downsides: 1) there was no shampoo and bodywash in the room, but the onwer immediately brought a shampoo as we messaged her. 2) Utensils in the dining area were not very clean and there was still tea stains on the cups. Finally, get prepared for the tiny bugs (some are biting) inside the room at night as the hotel is located in a very natural area so insects are inevitable. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience here.
