Nice spot around Kona for a homebase while we explored the area and did some snorkeling. Comfortable to hang out in and we loved the airy feel.

This was a great place to stay for a few days. Wished we could have stayed longer. The Queen Palm was bright, airy, comfortable, and very clean. Would love to come back!

Everything was as was shown. The room is light and bright and has everything we needed. The regular sized fridge was really appreciated as well as the beach things. We didn't need anything while there so didn't need to contact the manager. We were able to walk to a good snorkeling beach. We loved the open air feel of the place.

The room was clean with a full sized refrigerator and microwave. The owner is kind enough to share beach chairs and toys with his occupants. There’s a coin operated washer dryer. Enough free parking. The only thing I was surprised by is on one side of the room, the windows are only covered by screens and not glass. But it was fine since we needed the ventilation. Also, I think he keeps chickens since they are behind the parking lot. So we were awakened every morning about 6:30am with chicken noises. No roosters.

Perfect spot to lay your head. It has everything you need. Close enough yet far enough from the hustle and bustle. Would stay here again.

Great studio, perfect if you are going to be out and about enjoying the beauty of Hawaii.
If you need a full kitchen rent the larger suite. Perfect if you are doing simple one pot meals and enjoying the excellent dining options down on the pier.
Excellent host!
Made our first experience with Vrbro excellent.
I would not hesitate to rent from this host in the future.

In between great surfing and good snorkeling. This is a great spot for a base camp. Not to far from the city and very quiet, very relaxing. I would recommend this place for any couple that plans on visiting the island and tour the island.

Isaac was great and very responsive to any questions I had. You can't beat the price and location. Just minutes away from many beaches and main town. There is also marketplace just around the corner and at the edge of Kona itself. Can't say enough about what a measure it was to find a great place for that price. Mahalo.

Great property with cozy studio accommodations. Very clean with extras when available. We were offered fresh chicken eggs during our stay and used a cooler one day for a potluck we had with friends. Great view of the ocean and very quiet area day and night. There are stairs though if you are elderly but manageable.

Kona is beautiful but lodging is very expensive. Although the offer is huge, sometimes rental conditions are not clear. I was really satisfied with this rental. The space is kind, everything works, and although it is not luxury lodging, it was very comfortable and quiet.

This was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sounds of the water and birds. The studio had all that one person would need to prepare meals, shower, sleep, and relax. It had a great view of the ocean - got to experience sunsets and watch canoes and boats. I love the chickens and ducks running around the property - quite the characters. I would 100% come back here. It was easy to get to the main Hwy for road trips. The parking was great (alway had a secure spot). I also enjoyed taking walks up and down Alii drive. Thank you Isaac for an amazing visit!

The Queen Palm was ideal for me. I loved the partial view of the ocean. The windows are just screens which means that you get a delicious breeze, except for the windows behind the bed -- those have glass and screens. Decor is super tasteful, too. I felt very comfortable and safe.
More impressions:
+ very comfy bed
+ Clean! Clean! Clean!
+ lots of extras -- good shampoo/conditioner, boogie boards & fins, books about Hawaii, coffee maker & dishes....
+ Location! an easy 15-minute walk (or 3 minute car ride) to Kahaulu'u Beach -- wonderful snorkeling and swimming. Also easy walk or drive to Magic Sands Beach. Very closer to the shopping center (grocery store, Long's Drugs, cinema, bookshop, shaved ice, etc.) Close to Kauohou Bay, too.
+ Laundry on-site. Bring quarters. There's laundry detergent available. :-)
+ Two large ceilings fans provided excellent air circulation
+ There's a lot of beach goodies for use -- towels, sunscreen, boogie boards, fins, pool noodles, coolers, etc.
+ Loved that there's a patch of "rainforest" next door -- I woke up to the most beautiful chorus of birds :-)
+ On-site parking
+ Did not hear noise from the other guests -- property is quiet
And....Isaac is a gracious, hospitable host. :-)
Things to consider:
- This is a studio, so it's ideal for 1 - 2 people.
- Kitchenette means hot plate, microwave, kettle, and coffee maker. There's a BBQ outside.
- No big table for eating. I was fine drinking my tea and eating in one of the chairs next to the coffee table, but others might not. It's a studio, so there's not room inside, but there is a large picnic table outside next to the BBQ.
- It's round the corner from Ali'i Drive, so there's some traffic noise, but not much...and I'm a light sleeper
I would stay with Isaac again in a heartbeat. It was great!

There really is nothing I would change. The place was so comfortable and quiet. Of course a direct ocean view would have been awesome but I soon discovered that Hawaii is WAY more expensive than foreign destinations. So although relatively expensive for a studio, this place was a fair value for the Big Island. Close to diving and the airport but you will need a car to really take everything in. That ran me another shocking$1000 for just 9 days. Back to the place— everything worked! Washer/dryer convenient. Lots of hot water. Wonderful two walls of all screen to let in ocean sounds and bird chirps. Massive storm came through and no water got in Power went out but was restored and everything thing came back up as normal - tv and internet- no glitches. Would be nice to have a broom and dust pan for the tile floor. But really no other things are needed. Owner did it up right and I would certainly return without hesitation

Isaac was very friendly and accimodating. The room was airy, but still with privacy. The neihborhood was quiet at night and the property was next to a jungle section, so it was very quiet. The open nature of the room allowed it to be cool enough to sleep with the fans going. Overall a good experience.

*for those on the GO!
If you are like me... and all you need is a comfy place to sleep, a fridge, simple kitchen needs and off-street parking, then this is the place for you. The room was clean, the building quiet and the security of very convenient off-street parking was a plus. The WiFi was good enough for me to stream entertainment and the room/apartment was plenty large enough. The wonderful Big Island provided the rest.
Isaac is an excellent property manager and he was very quick to answer my calls and respond to my texts. Also an affable guy to chat with as well!
Highly recommend this location for the seasoned traveler and folks who understand life on the Big Island.

My friend and I decided on a last minute trip to Kona and stumbled upon Isaac’s place. Waking up to the warm Hawaii breeze and birds chirping was just what I needed for vacation. The condo is within walking distance to the beach and a few short miles to downtown. It really is a steal for what you get! Isaac was always available to answer questions and provided the necessities for our stay. Everything was clean and neighbors during our stay were quiet. It’s the perfect place to stay for some peace and quiet! We loved every minute and can’t wait to come visit again. Thank you Isaac for being such an awesome host!

Walk to Magic Sands beach and 12 minute drive to downtown Kona. Quiet neighborhood. The Queen Palm room is on the 2nd floor and basically a screened in Lanai. Nice breeze comes through at night. Entire place was clean. Bathroom with tub is nice. Kitchenette with full size fridge was appreciated. Great place, we would stay here again.

Had a great stay here. Isaac was very attentive, answering questions that came up as we got settled in. We love the area and always try to stay within walking distance of Magic Sands. This fit the bill and had the added benefit of being a little off Ali'i, helping with traffic noise. Love the busy chickens running around outside and the open air feel of the place. Cooking facilities are limited (hot plate and microwave) but adequate for what we needed.

Nothing but good things to say about this space. Airy and bright. Birdsong in the morning...Ocean waves at night. Friendly neighbors. You might even see a shooting star from the comfort of your bed. A peek of the sea and swaying palm trees made just sitting and doing nothing, a pleasure. It just felt good here, and I’d def book again when I’m on Island again.
