Great location

Relaxing, peaceful stay. Kay's place is easy short walk to Manini Beach for snorkeling and water activities. It's a great place for investigating things along the Kona coast. Host was very responsive, helpful, and answered all of our questions.

Best Location!

The location of this rental couldn't be better! It is steps from the bay and from kayak rentals to head out to the monument. Two-step and the place of refuge are just a couple miles down the road. The house itself is spacious and clean with a thoughtfully stocked kitchen. Air conditioning in one bedroom. The host was kind and courteous, helping us settle in despite the late hour of our arrival and the downstairs neighbor was such a delight to chat with and meet her cats. Highly recommend! We hope to be back.

handy

A very handy & convenient place to stay. Beds were fine & shower pressure was fantastic. A little warm in the evenings but cooled off nicely for sleeping. Host was available for any questions & very kind.

Our stay was great!

We really enjoyed staying at Kei's property. The space and grounds were exactly as depicted. It was spacious, clean and suited us and our stay perfectly. Enjoyed the location, very close to Mainini Beach and the Place of Refuge. Kei was very kind and helpful even when we accidentally locked outselves out, twice. Felt like we were staying with friends.

Awesome location and great host

Kay was so kind and shared fresh fruit from her fruit stand. We loved the short walk to the beach. It was so close and we walked there to snorkel and watch the sunset. We were just down the road from Two Step beach. The unit is dated but very clean. It was a great base for our vacation

7 days at big island

Charming condo, with all the necessities. The neighbors downstairs are very nice, as is the landlady next door. Not far from the ocean. Quiet location, with birdsong and the smell of flowers in the morning. We really enjoyed it.

Amazing location!

We thoroughly loved staying here! The location is amazing- close to the water, and lots of things to do. The kitchen is well equiped and the space is comfortable with two full bedrooms. Kay is a gracious host - she shared fruits from the property and let us pick some too. She runs a fruit and baked goods stand next door. We would definitely stay here again!

This cute apartment reminds me of my grandma’s place. Apartment is older, but it has everything that you need in there. It is walking distance to a small bay where you can snorkeling with beautiful fishes. There is a fruit stand right outside where you can get local fruits. Kay, the owner is super nice and friendly. The only down side is the apartment is on second floor and can get pretty warm in summer time. We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed the stay.

Relaxing stay

We very much enjoyed our stay at Kay's comfortable and spacious apartment. We love Kealakekua Bay and all that it offers and Kay's apartment was well suited to our experience. Kay was very responsive to any of our needs and her Hawaiian hospitality was very much appreciated. Maholo Kay!

Steps from the beach

Budget travelers will appreciate this well-equipped place in beautiful Napoop’o on Kealakekua Bay. Two of us did multi-hour dives from the beach, which a mere five-minute walk away. On top of that, Kay is a such a gracious host.

Plenty Aloha!

Felt right at home. Wish I was still there. Loved walking down to the ocean for sunrise. One of my favorite sacred places in the world, and Kona Kay's makes it affordable for us to experience. Mahalo Kay, Anna Hali'a Rizzo

Had a good time staying at Kay's lovely place. It's very conveniently located near two-step, which made our snorkeling trips so easy. It's also just a few mins of walk to our Kayak launching site to captain cook. There's a lot of room on the second floor. And the kitchen is well stocked. The communication is smooth. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Peaceful oasis

Amazing location a short walk from a wonderful historic bay with fantastic snorkeling. Swam with a manta ray one morning. Kay was so kind, provided us with more fruit than we could handle, and plenty of other food and goodies. The neighborhood itself is also great to walk around, with plenty of beautiful flowers and birds. Very short drive to Two Step and The City of Refuge, both of which are must sees. I would recommend this spot to anyone I know.

Great Location, Fantastic Host

This upstairs unit is a 5-minute walk from the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii. Kaye was an amazing generous host. The unit is well-equipped and very clean. The heat during our stay was intense so we scheduled our time away from the unit in the afternoon and evening. A window AC unit made the bedroom bearable at night. Thanks for a great stay Kaye!

A suitable spot to stay off the beaten track

This was a good location to see and do other things in the surrounding area. It's a bit of drive to get anywhere and a really narrow winding road. We enjoyed the nearby beaches and the bay is full of marine life. Pros: Price, location, friendly owner and downstairs tenants Cons: Greeted by the smell of cat feces in the yard upon arrival, dishes were not clean and had to be re-washed

Great location and very welcoming. Couple of take aways

Amazing location. You really feel like a local. So close to key Captain Cook venues. Apt is large. They supply all that you need and more. Frig was stocked with some great treats. Such Aloja spirit. WiFi is sporadic and not strong in half of the house. Window unit for the master and many fans provided. Overall a great experience and super nice owner Kay!

Easy living vacation.

Kay, her downstairs tenants, friends, and neighbors were welcoming and gracious. We felt safe and relaxed at her cozy rental apartment. Walking down to the kayak rental was a breeze. Not fancy, just fabulous! Thank you.

Excellent location, clean, homey

Kay's property is so cool--she has large fruit trees growing in the yard where you can pick tangelos and she provides a juicer so you can have fresh juice in the morning! She also left us some essential groceries which was really nice, since we got in late and didn't have a chance to go the store. A short walk to kayak rental to go over to captain cook, as well as Manini beach, (great for snorkeling with a wonderful little park). She really took the time to make her place clean, comfy, and there were little touches to make us feel welcome as guests. Appreciate her sharing her home!

Beautiful area

The good news: Kay was so sweet and the property has everything we needed in the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. Was the perfect size for our family and easy walk to beautiful beach views. Easy drive to many nearby attractions too. The bad news: We visited during June/July and the property was HOT during the day. Even with the fans and a/c in bedroom, it was not comfortable to be in most of the property. We spent most of the days out anyway and during the evening it cooled waaaaay down. So if you are planning to stay at property throughout the day, be prepared. I’d still stay there again despite this though!
