This studio was very clean and had a comfy bed, lovely large deck (not a balcony) and a beautiful garden path for walking through the flowering trees and bushes. This made it feel private and removed from the rest of the surrounding houses, each with a large lot. We sat on the deck for meals, and one time caught a beautiful sunset. We were honored to receive fruit from Mitsuko, most of which had been harvested from her own trees. She was a lovely host and we hope to see her again!

Located in a lovely quiet neighborhood up in the hills, far away from the Kona tourist traps. Centrally located so you can drive up to Hāwī, drive over to Waimea, or drive back into Kona. So relaxing. Kind hosts. Great stay.

We had only scheduled one night, but upon arrival we wish we could have stayed longer. This is a cozy studio with a calm, beautiful atmosphere. The yard is filled with trees, flowers, and birds, and the neighborhood is isolated and quiet. Our host was lovely, and provided fresh fruit picked right off the tree in the yard. Such a treat! We would definitely love to stay here again.

Beautiful ocean view. Space was very clean. We spent our time exploring the island and were not interested in the large resorts. Host were welcoming! Thank you for the fruit plate! If you want a comfortable and quiet place to stay, this place will not disappoint. Use of a washer and dryer was also a plus.

Nice place and great jumping off point for the north Kohala cost and Waimea. Everything amenity-wise was as advertised and worked fine for us. While the owner lives upstairs, we found the space to be quite private. She was so kind to bring us a plate of fresh island fruit as a welcome gift. Hope the new house being built just down the slope doesn't interfere too much with the great sunset views.

This place boasts stunning grounds! If you're a bird watcher, you'll love spending time on the porch, soaking in the sights and sounds. A vehicle is definitely handy for exploring the nearby malls and fascinating historical sites. Inside, we enjoyed the comfort of an air conditioning unit, microwave, and a little refrigerator, all surrounded by inviting sliding glass doors that let in plenty of natural light.One tip for light sleepers: consider bringing an eye mask, as the curtains don't fully block out the morning sun. The studio may be small, but we found it to be just right for our needs, and we were genuinely happy during our stay. Our host was incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home, even greeting us upon our late arrival and respecting our privacy.Just a quick note: avoid running the hair dryer and air conditioner at the same time—you might trip the fuse! Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. We truly appreciate it! Mahalo!at the same time—you might trip the fuse! Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. We truly appreciate it!

The location was up the hill, with beautiful views and great stargazing, too, due to being on the north part, away from city lights. It was perfect for a night after a day of exploring the Kohala area and north.
