"I love the open air concept, love the rooms. This place is a one of a kind find. The hosts are amazing and so nice. Highly recommend!"

"I cannot say enough glowingly ecstatic things about this location! Hosts: The sweetest, kindest, most accommodating people I have known at an Airbnb. Their response time to any questions, is almost instantaneous. This location feels like a home away from home, with an Aloha welcome. Room: First, and foremost, it's clean. Amazingly, welcomingly clean. Next, the decor is bright, yet soothing. The choices for bedding, cafe table, armoire, towels, and so on, are spot-on. I do have the only air-conditioned room in the place. It is a relief, because I am on the end of the home with the most sunshine exposure. I believe it would have been difficult to stay here, for a full two weeks, without that amenity. I am grateful that the hosts recognize this, and provided this room with a portable, in-room air conditioner. The wraparound design of the room, does allow for wonderful breezes, in the evenings and in the mornings. I did have to close it up on the hotter days, around 9 a.m., and turn the air conditioner on to keep it reasonably cool. Location: At a brisk walk, it's 5 minutes to the beach. Taking your time, it's about 10 minutes.... considering you have to walk uphill, on the way back, I recommend taking your time. It is also close to the Ali'i Drive trolley line ($2, each way), which runs on the hour. This allows for easy navigation, up and down the coast. Ammenities: In room, there is a full tub/shower, adjacent to a small kitchenette. Be aware that the kitchen that does not come with any sort of ceramic hot plate, or other stove top. There is a microwave, a small coffee maker, and a refrigerator that is subcompact. The freezer and refrigerator have ample space for a stay up to a month. If you are an avid cook, you do have to get creative. Out on the patio, there is a grill, with a side burner. That is where I have done most of my cooking. It has worked well, for me. There is only one pan provided. It is a frying pan, in your room, for the side burner on the grill. However, my host has let me know that if I need additional cookware, they are happy to provide it from the main house, which is on site. In summary, for a single person, or a couple, this is a fantastic location, that will save you money, make you feel at home, and provide you with the amenities you need to enjoy your stay."

"My 5th year to Kona, but first time at Kona Hula Girl on recommendation of a friend who had previously stayed here. Everything here exceeded my expectations! Dean and Sherri are awesome. Great hospitality. I stayed in the Plumeria Room. Location excellent. Could walk to town, beach. The place is immaculately clean. Room comfortable and cheerful. A bit of traffic noise where my room was facing, but not a big deal. Coin laundry available. I was very happy with my stay, and will definitely be my "go-to" from now on when I come to Kona! Thanks again Dean & Sherri!"

"We love to this place. Great host, Friendly and full of advice of the local things to to. Coolers boogie boards beach towels and barbecue equipment were available as well as Library of books on Hawaii. We could look out and see the ocean from my room And were in close proximity to shops, beach, and restaurants. Going back again next year."

"THIS PLACE ROCKS!!!! Just returned from 3 fabulous weeks on the Big Island. Stayed in the Plumera room. This was an awesome location. We were able to walk to the Beach /Restaurant area as it was only about 10 minutes away. I loved that the place had a grill and patio, we were able to cook some meals in to save a little on dining. They keep coolers, body surf boards, chairs and umbrellas handy for daily use. Hope to come back in Sept. again. We will definitely stay here again. Dean and Sherry have an amazing place."
