Other things to note
tropical setting with a view and easy access to an HYW
Property is exactly as shown in the photos. George Sr. was extremely kind and met us at a mile marker to ensure we found the property in the dark. Later in the stay, he brought fresh avocados. The ocean views from the studio are amazing. We made sure to be back every night to watch the sunset. If you are a digital nomad it might not be the place for you. Wifi was weak and spotty. Not a concern for us as we were on vacation. Who wants to be online when surrounded by beauty? Friendly people, great communication, and easy access to everything we wanted to see and do in that side of the island. We were sad to leave.
We loved the deck overlooking the jungle and the ocean in the distance. The house feels secluded and very private while close to shopping and good restaurants. Also great beaches. We would definitely stay here again.
The cottage has all the basics for your stay. Bed is very comfortable. The view on the back porch is phenomenal. We enjoyed a few conversations with George Sr. what a delight! It’s a quiet place, with the occasional rooster ( everywhere in the islands) . I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. There’s groceries and local restaurants within minutes. 2 steps is minutes away. I only wish George Sr. was every accommodations owner/ manager!
The property is located in a very green area and is very close to an amazing snorkel beach. The view from the terrace is beautiful. We could watch the sunset every day. The Insect screens keep the bugs outside, but at night the frogs can be heard loudly so one might find it hard to fall asleep. Due to the moisture in the area the furniture is partly damaged with wood puffed up. The apartment definitely needs some renovation and a deep cleaning. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay. The host was very friendly, communication was easy and he even brought us beach when we asked him for. Wifi is very fast and reliable.
This is a wonderful property. Very close to Two Step our favorite snorkeling spot. Ed was a great host . The place was clean and enough room for the two of us.
I really enjoyed my stay and wished I'd booked a few more nights. The view from the deck was spectacular. There are no houses/structures blocking the view. WOW! Every sunset was beautiful. Another reviewer described this studio as no frills and I would agree. But everything I needed was provided: cookware, beach stuff (sand chairs, umbrella, beach towels, body boards, etc), hair dryer, blankets, etc. There is also a washer and dryer downstairs - this was a nice surprise and so convenient. It's a very simple, economical place - not luxury, which was fine with me. Some of the things I enjoyed (and miss!): The view The sounds of crickets, birds and coqui frogs (there were only a few frogs, so not too loud) at night The greenery/flowers/wildlife around the property Privacy- and it felt spacious and safe Location: close to good places to eat, coffee shops and things to see and do. 2-Step beach is just a few miles away. **The studio is close to the Belt Road, so you can hear road noise, especially at night. I just put a little bit of cotton in my ears before bed so it was not a problem for me, even though I'm a light sleeper. The hosts welcomed me in and were available. They were so helpful and it made my stay so enjoyable.
My wife and I love the feel and location of this small spartan no-frills cottage. This was our 3rd stay here and (although it's not for everyone), we love it! We are Alaskans who have a love affair with Hawaii. :-) With many THANKS to the onsite host, George, who is a perfectly helpful and accommodating gentleman.
This is a quaint little spot. Hidden from the highway with a great view. George Sr. was very pleasant and helpful with anything we needed. If you are looking for an upscale condo, this is not for you. We came to relax enjoy the sites and get a good night sleep, it hit everything we needed. I understand they are continually working on improvements, but for us it was perfect.
Very quiet property with excellent views. This was our second stay and we will be coming back. We enjoy the community and of course, Two Step Beach. Great place to decompress. Thank you George!
Peaceful and interesting
The rustic studio was spotlessly clean, spacious and pleasant. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare our meals, and the hot water abundant for showers. The best feature of the studio for us was its large lanai with a view out over the mango and banana trees to the ocean. We had morning coffee there, ate our meals there, and also watched sunsets from the same place. The location of the studio was perfect for us. Near to a variety of beaches and only a short drive to the Choice Mart grocery store in Captain Cook which had everything we needed. Also near Black Rock pizza that offered an amazing vegan pizza. The only downside of the studio is that it is close enough to the busy belt road that you hear traffic noise day and night. The owners were kind and friendly, generous and hospitable. It was a perfect place for us to stay.
This is an old house on a farm. Not fancy but very comfortable. Lovely yard, view of beautiful trees and ocean. Love all the little geckos on the very wonderful deck where we watched many sunrises and sets. Plenty hot water for showers and doing dishes. Laundry facilities under the house. Communication was great with the owners/managers. Very accommodating and friendly:) Big plus he removes the garbage and saves you the trouble of hauling as some rentals require. Really short, beautiful drive to City of Refuge and Two Step (some of the best snorkeling). Several wonderful cafe's very close. We went to South Point, Hilo, and way up north. This location is great for adventures. Big perk, remarkably bug free inside! Lots of chickens, frogs, local birds so can get noisy, we thought they were fun. Yes, the place is old and has some quirks and could use a deep cleaning. So, all and all for what you get- it is a GREAT DEAL!
Lush tropical rural setting on former avocado farm estate. The property interior is suffering from neglect and significant disrepair. Photos on-line not consistent with current status.
The place was nicely located with excellent views and decent space. We would stay there again!
Very comfortable stay with a great view from the lanai. We loved the secluded location down a single lane farm road. It is close to several of our favorite restaurants, coffee shops, farmer’s markets, and snorkeling locations. The temperate location allows for the windows to remain open letting the breeze flow through the house and the concert of frogs to be heard every night. We were able to use the beach towels and chairs as well as the well-stocked kitchen during our stay. Ed was very responsive during the booking and prior to arrival. George was always around and available if anything was required. Fantastic hosts, location, and house. We would definitely stay here again if our travels allow us a return to the Big Island in the future.
Property is located on a Farm in the tropical region above Kona. The land and foliage are beautiful. Be aware that you are in a natural setting so be prepared for nature sounds. Many birds, chickens, etc.. After a night or two I was used to it and missed the sound when we got home. The duplex its self is perfectly serviceable. Could use an update but for the price and location it was fine. The owner was fantastic, Friendly and responsible. Overall we enjoyed our time there.
