Kona Hawaii Guest House

"This place is so cozy and lovely. The view alone is worth it and so is Uncle Spirit-he and John made our little trip lovely. It is rustic, outdoor living-so yes, there’s bugs, and yes, you cook and eat outside. For those of us that enjoy such things it’s a wonderful place! We stayed for three nights and had an absolutely lovely time and are looking forward to returning during whale season! A big Mahalo to the owners for letting us stay in your lovely home!"

"I’m what people might call a “country girl,” and this place was the perfect stay for my husband and I. We really enjoy visiting with the owner, John. This has been our first experience in Hawaii and he has been so helpful during our stay. We walked down to the beach from the guest house, it is close to a lot of hustle and bustle but out of the way enough to where it is a quiet and peaceful place to retreat. I am loving waking up to complimentary kona coffee and listening to the birds make their morning calls."

"My husband and I stayed at the Kona guest house for 7 days and it was awesome. John was so friendly and fun to visit with, telling us about the Island and places we should visit. Spirit the guest house kitty was adorable. The guest house is at the end of a culdesac with beautiful foliage all around. No noisy traffic and I loved waking up to all of the chirping birds. Down the hill is a great walking path to get your steps in before your adventures of the day. Our room was the Dolphin room at the top of the stairs, we had beautiful sunsets and a nice breeze in the evening. It was a wonderful stay. Thank you John."

"It's rustic, quiet, and perfect for our needs. If you are looking for a hotel/ motel/ resort experience... then this place is not for you. Johnny is helpful and eager to help. He wants your hawaii experience to shine. The rooms need to be updated a bit, & they are a work in progress. but the bed slept well. We had the Dolphin room. There is plenty of room for 2. I was a bit leery when i read other reviews, but I'm coming in with knowing it's rustic.... made for a wonderful trip. I wouldn't recommend that this place would be good when traveling with children. It's the simple little treasures that I seek, and I find this to be a gem. It may be a diamond in the rough, but it shined for us."

"John's hospitality is a FIVE stars hospitality. He is such nice guy and very helpful in giving tips on where to go, what to do and what to eat. Also in the morning, he will pick a fresh papaya and deliver it to your window. We loved it. The three stars rating here is for the room. The room was clean and everything in order, but you could feel that it has not changed much in many years and could use revamping. I am guessing though if John's revamps the rooms he would need to increase his rates which are probably the most competitive out there. The view from the room upstairs is a million dollar view."
