Good value, quiet location

A good value at about $150 per night. It was nice to be able to cook for myself. The lanai is peaceful and quiet. The TV had Netflix, the 5G internet was good. Appliances were very good but otherwise relatively rustic experience Overall, so much better than a hotel, if staying 3 days or more. The property manager George stopped by to make sure everythingwas

Awesome cottage in captain cook

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!

NIce setting

Small in an isolated setting. The place was a little run down. The microwave over looked like something that was pulled from the curb where someone was throwing it out. Very quiet with Coqui frogs at night. Not enough silverware or storage containers for leftovers. Overall, a functional place to stay.

Wonderful Stay

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.

Aged apartment with beautiful view near the best snorkeling beach at the island.

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.

Pretty

It was the perfect place for me and my husband to stay for our honeymoon. I loved hearing all the Coqui frogs at night. It was so pretty and green. The owners were very easy to get ahold of. They were very quick to help when our oven stopped working. Definitely recommend staying here for a quick trip.

Superb Location for an In-The-Rain-Forest kind of feel

This was our second stay at this delightful location. It's small, cozy, rustic but has all the necessary modern conveniences, including solid WiFi. We love the location and all the sounds of the rain-forest surroundings. George, the property manager is absolutely the nicest, hard-working and one of the most fascinating individuals one could ever hope to meet. My wife and I will definitely be coming back here for a third (and extended) stay at this property. :-)

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.

Relaxing in Captain Cook

The cottage is a quiet, comfortable place in a lovely location. We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. The bed is comfortable and it was great to have a small kitchen. The property manager is very helpful. He answered our questions about the area and brought us papaya for breakfast. The location is end-of-the-road quiet surrounded by lush greenery and flowers. There's a tricky turn to get on and off the highway, The footfalls you hear during the night are feral pigs in the woods. It was disconcerting when we didn't know what they were. We would stay at this place again, and feel privileged to be there.

Perfect for us

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.

Awesome apartment in South Kona

This is a fantastic little apartment 40 mins from the airport and away from the touristy areas of Kailua-Kona. It is nestled in the coffee highlands which get sunny mornings with regular tropical afternoon/evening rain showers....you may not have many spectacular sunsets, but it's gorgeous nonetheless, and only 10 min drive to 2-steps, a fantastic snorkeling spot! Lots of great small town eateries just down the road (poke, hawaiian BBQ, lau lau, pizza, fish sandwiches), a farmers market and super friendly locals. The apartment isn't luxurious and the kitchen is lacking a lot of essentials for cooking (e.g. no sharp knives, or wine glasses) but it is safe, comfortable and cozy with a nice big balcony with ocean/beach views. You do hear some highway noise but it didn't really bother us. You also get a wonderful chorus of birds and frogs at night!

Not A Luxury Resort......................But We LOVED It!!

The small duplex is old, rustic, lacking the luxuries of the resort Kona condos, but the location and surroundings are incredible. If you like to be surrounded by the lush greenery of rainforest, listening to numerous birds and coqui frogs, watching the swaying of trees and palm branches, then this is the place for you. My wife and I live in Alaska and we have visited Kona for 20 years. This is unquestionably our favorite place! All the appliances are quite old but they function. The WiFi worked flawlessly. The bed is very comfortable, which is a big "plus" for us. The small duplex is located down a narrow road, and although it's close to the main highway, you feel totally secluded. The grounds-keeper, (George) is a marvelous man who was totally polite, very responsive and even showed us around the farm and gave us a few fresh avocados. What a treat! George is a wealth of knowledge and an extremely interesting man with some wonderful stories. I feel like I've made a new (and lasting) friend. We WILL be returning for another stay here again.

Great location, spectacular views, good deal

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.

Loved it!

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!
