Kailua Kona holiday apartment

We stayed in Judy's studio for 12 nights during Ironman-week. The studio is very new and big (for us 2 adults). You have your own house with a big lanai, a private garage for your car (which you will need to go to Kona "downtown" and the beach). If you want to go running, it's probably not the ideal place because the surrounding area is very hilly with a steep street to the house. You have everything you need, also for a long stay (fully equipped kitchen with 2 "mobile" hotplates, washer, dryer, beach euipment, all kind of towels,...). Judy is a very nice and helpful lady. She provided us all we needed: fresh pressed juice, fresh fruit from her garden, useful information about beaches, etc. Besides she has different kinds of herbs in her garden for your use (basil, rosmarine,...). The only "negative" thing we could say was that the studio was not really immaculate clean (some excrement of the geckos on the blinds, dust). Because the studio is located in the hills (about 10 min. drive to the Pier of Kona), it offers ideal temperatures for a restorative sleep, what you probably won't have down in Kona (unless you have air condition!). A very nice beach nearby is Kua Bay.

Could not have been better! Excellent private accommodation with everything you need, very clean and well maintained. Large, private yard to relax in and a wonderful host to visit with. We truly enjoyed our stay and Judy made things even more special with the fresh fruit and flowers left on the stairs for us each day - it was great to come home after the day's activities and see what the treat of the day was. We enjoyed the BBQ and just sitting on the deck drinking coffee in the morning or enjoying the quiet of the evening. Would we go again? Absolutely! Would we recommend the Kona Pacific View? We already have. Thanks again Judy for an incredible stay, we would love to see you again next year.

We stayed one week and had only one complaint, our stay was too short. This is a great place to stay and we would stay here again. At first we almost missed this place as the property type is listed as an apartment, but this is a separate suite with your nearest neighbor being the owners home next door.

Located at the end of a residential neighborhood of acre sized lots, the front windows and patio offers a fantastic almost 180 degree view of agricultural preserve (no buildings), the airport (about 4 miles away so no noise), the ocean, and great sunsets. The place is one great open space ideal for a couple.

Our arrival was late at night, but Judy, the owner, was there to welcome us. Judy is very knowledgeable about places to see and has a very "green thumb." We where well supplied with a nice variety of fruits and vegetables throughout our stay.

Located around the 1200' elevation provided cool evenings (upper 60's in early April) a refreshing break from the daytime heat. The unit included everything we need, but if we needed something else all we had to do was ask. The unit had no telephone, and we did not have a cell phone, when we needed to make a call we just used the wireless internet to use Skype on our laptop. Some other nice touches, a garage to park our rental, compost and recycle bins, and the rafter of wild turkeys with their poults (babies) helped make our stay even more enjoyable.
