IMPORTANT:

Animals reside on the premises. NOT RECOMMENDED IF YOU DO NOT LIKE ANIMALS AND/OR ARE ALLERGIC TO ANIMALS. The animals will NOT have access to within the unit. Single Macaw is quiet 98 percent of the time - ALWAYS quiet at night 100%. He occasionally squawks for his breakfast approx. btwn 8:00 and 8:30 a.m (he does occasionally talk), or unless an intruder is a threat (my feathered guard dog). Guests are more than welcome to meet and interact/pet with animals when they are out and about on property or even if requested should they be in my side. (However Macaw/bird requires supervision if you are interested in holding or petting. When looking at or watching … no supervision needed). My animals are friendly but dog does alert to strangers/intruders. Cats love car rides so please do not leave door or windows open to vehicles and/or check to make certain they are NOT in the vehicle when locking vehicle up or leaving residence.

Check in time 3:00 PM and check out time NOON. Times can be flexible with ADVANCE reasonable notice to owner. Flight arrival time and departure times are required upon booking so I can be sure unit is disinfected, cleaned and prepped for your arrival and also to be certain there is no conflict with other booked guests.

*****Unit is cleaned and disinfected thoroughly before AND after each guest(s). This unit is used for my own friends and family members and is sanitized/cleaned good enough for them or even for myself to stay in.*****.

Used bath towels are required to be given to me to be washed after 2 to 3 days of use (there are plenty provided in the unit). Due to the humidity of the island I would like to insure minimizing any potential for mold/mildew or any skin diseases (as island Dr recommended to me from his experience). I will gladly wash your beach wear, towels etc for you and dry (I do not fold). Or you are welcome to use washer and dryer on your own but with advance notice.

There are absolutely no security cameras (hidden or otherwise) anywhere within the unit. There ARE security cameras OUTSIDE of the residence (and within the inside of only the interior of MY side of the residence that I live in) FYI

We really enjoyed staying at this cozy comfy home away from home spot! The owner is fantastic to work with and makes sure we have everything we need and more. We had courtesy beverages and beach goods daily. The place was super clean! A car is wanted but its only a couple minutes from the beach and town of Jona Kailua. Kailua.

Amazing Host and Great Location
Cynthia is genuinely such a thoughtful, kind and helpful person. She really went out of her way to make sure we had a great stay and to help us make arrangements outside of just our accommodation. The location of her property is a very short drive away from all the places and amenities that we wanted to get to during our visit to Kona.

Very comfortable unit conveniently located in Kailua-Kona
This unit was definitely like a home away from home. Bedroom is very spacious with king bed, dresser, closet, and nightstands. Ceiling fan helps circulate air throughout the unit and a portable AC unit is available for the very hot and humidity months. There is a good view of the ocean from the bedroom window. Bathroom is well kept and stocked with TP, soap, shampoo/conditioner, and other supplies (some left by other renters). Cutely decorated throughout. Kitchen is on the lower, entry level. It is small but sufficiently large and equipped (hot plate with pots & pans; microwave; toaster; Keurig; and other small applianances; full size refrigerator/freezer) to make full breakfasts, lunch, and dinner. An easy chair and a small couch w/ fold-out bed are in the kitchen area for seating. A small patio area with outdoor seating is also available with the unit. For those beach / water days, an outdoor shower and sink is available for easy clean up. Location is super convenient. Very close to the airport (driving about 15 min), harbor (about 10 min), downtown Kailua-Kona (5-7 min). Shopping (Safeway, Walmart, and Target) about 5-7 min away (within 1-3 traffic lights) so you can easily run out to pick up your necessities - bonus, Safeway is open 24 h! Costco is also close, about 10 min (between the airport and harbor). Neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe. Drives to Hilo (just under 2 h) and the Volcano Park (about 2 h) are easy from the unit. Host Cynthia (on-site, on her side of the house) is the absolute best. She kept the unit stocked with all amenities, including water. She even gave us some fruit, refreshments, and other eats. Cynthia is a fountain of knowledge on the area and her hints and suggestions for activities were spot on. The manta ray snorkel/dive is definitely a must-do. To keep towels fresh, she asks you for them every 2-3 days and will even wash your laundry with them. I felt like we were staying with a friend and not just renting a unit. Thank you Cynthia for making our stay fabulous. If you're looking for accommodations for 2 (or 3), you need not look further. This is an awesome choice. I'm not sure why there are a few negative reviews - there is nothing negative about this unit or Cynthia. We will certainly stay here again when we return.

I had a great stay at Cynthia's. It was just me and my husband and she was the BEST host! She was so accommodating -always there to help. She had coffee, unlimited water, offered rides (even if I had a rental car), did my laundry, and gave me a celebratory bottle of wine. Will definitely stay with Cynthia again!

DISSAPOINTED.......
TOO FAR FROM THE OCEAN The unit is located 50 minutes from the Ali'i/shore meaning that the pictures are decieving. From them it looks like you are near the ocean. You can not walk back from the ocean to the place. NOT FOR SMOKERS Our first encounter with the owner was her coming to us almost yelling that she is allergic to cigaret smoke that was coming from the porch (outisde) into the house aparently and that if I want to smoke Ineed to be further away. The owner also came at 4 am to me saying we cannot smoke on the porch, which had astray. NOT MEANT FOR THREE PEOPLE The unit is very small so we wouldn't recommend more than two people staying there. RULES The owner Cynthja kept coming into the unit (even if she meant well it didnt feel nice). She also kept telling us to close the two doors from the entrance. One glass and one anti mosquito door. It allmade sense but if you go into rhe unit to grab your phone and go back out right after that she would already have a problem with that... which isnotpleasant and you feel like you are being watched and under control. CHECK OUT You need to literally clean the apartment. Take off the bedding, take out the trash, bring her the towels and so on... However in the price you payed for cleaning so you would expect that you wouldnt need to do that and that the owner or cleaning lady would do that. There is also a thick layer of dust under the bed indicating it hasnt been cleaned in awhile. Most likely the towels nadthe bedding were theonly onces that were changed. ANIMALS Also she has 2 dogs and 2 cats so keep that in mind as well for she will letthem walk around. It depends if you like that or not.

Cynthia is a lovely person and she has a lovely home. She takes much care to ensure you have everything you need and more. King size beauty rest bed was heaven. There are stairs to bedroom and bath, but they are carpeted with ample landings. The kitchen is stocked with all your needs and bath supplies are aplenty. Very safe neighborhood to park car plus a funny group of pets you can enjoy as company. If you are not a pet person, then you most likely won’t need to encounter them, but I very much enjoyed watching Sampson play soccer with himself!

Loved it!
There is no way to convey how very much we enjoyed our stay here. I initially decided on this property based on all the positive reviews. When I contacted Cynthia she responded quickly and addressed any concerns. Looking at the pictures of the property, we were hooked. We arrived early, which was no problem. We had such a great time and upon learning I wanted to see turtles, she personally took us to her favorite spot and showed us the turtles. She recommended restaurants and was a wealth of information. When we decided to relax at home, the outdoor area was comfortable and inviting. Truly, we so enjoyed our visit here and would highly recommended you enjoy it too. A big thank you to Cynthia for everything! A truly memorable visit.

We had never stayed in a unit like this.... So Glad we did. It was CLEAN, comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood. Cynthia was kind and generous and gave us such great treats, tips and info about the area. She was available, but not intrusive. We loved her pets! We used the beach towels, chairs and beach mat every day! The unit is well-appointed with a full-sized fridge and a Keurig. The A/C upstairs kept us perfectly cool. Mahalo, Cynthia!

Amazing stay at an Amazing location
Cynthia was absolutely amazing! She had everything I needed for my stay and accommodated me in every way possible. I was staying in Kona for work and she was totally understandable about my work schedule and kept in contact with me to make sure I had everything I needed for my late nights and early mornings. She definitely went above and beyond anything I'd ever expect from a host. 10000/10 would highly recommend for anyone looking for a cute, comfortable, and clean place to stay for a few nights. Great neighborhood not far from town. Quiet and peaceful with an ocean view from the bedroom. She even let me pet the animals! Totally the best part about staying in Kona since I missed my own fur baby. (But she also made a note to say that animals should not be let inside VRBO area for people who are allergic.) Super considerate and friendly! Definitely made my long work week not so terrible. Thanks again Cynthia!!
