Five minutes to the airport and ten minutes to Kailua Kona town. This charming floor unit is well lit, cozy and private with a beautifully tiled bathroom. Complete with: - King Size bed - Sleeper / pull out sofa - Washer and Dryer - Gas stove range - Strong AC with remote control Families welcome! Full disclosure: We have children (11 and 8) upstairs that play, jump, laugh, play music (Piano and Ukulele)... the double ceiling helps but not 100%. On parle Francais We spreken Nederlands Wir sprechen Deutch (ein bisschen) What makes our space unique is the love and care that went into building it. It is newly remodeled with fresh paint, a high end gas range a bathroom made of slate tile and a decorative pallet wall in the living room. It is located below our main house with its own private entrance and parking space in the driveway. We believe in Ohana (family) and community and we love to travel and learn about other cultures, people and places. Parking for guests is on the driveway, to the left. The path on the left leads to the front door of the unit with a grassy area in front and storage on the right (Kayak, Paddle board, Beach supplies). The area in the back of the property and on the opposite side is off limits. We love to meet and socialize with our guests and are happy to answer questions and 'talk story'. Hale Tutu is on a quiet side street off from the main road. Easily accessible but also very private in a residential area. There is no reliable public transport on the island, a rental car is essential. We like to highlight to our guests the benefits of renting from us rather than a big hotel or resort... For example; Even the budget hotels in Kona run anywhere from $300 to $600 a night and the big resorts on the coast from $500 to as high as you want to pay. Hotels/resorts will charge you a $25-$30 per DAY amenity charge, $20-$40 per DAY for parking if you are so bold as to want to drive. Most hotels/resorts no longer offer daily housekeeping. Depending on the hotel resort, you will mostly be limited to overpriced dining options and very little options for preparing meals yourself. If they offer laundry service, be prepared to invest your child's college fund. Most have a concierge service who are well intentioned, hard working people but unfortunately they are incentivized to offer the tour or activity with the highest commission and not necessarily the best service. Most of our resorts and hotels are located far from town and the airport which limits your ability to explore and find other dining, shopping and activity options. Finally, the big hotels and resorts are all owned by massive corporations that do not invest their earnings into our local community. By contrast, we are a local family who invest in this community both with our money, volunteering and in our professions. We keep our rates as low as possible because we travel often and love a good deal. We're not across from any famous beach so we can offer very competitive pricing while also giving you as close to a resort experience as we can, We charge a ONE time cleaning fee rather than a daily amenity fee. There is no charge for parking. If you need recommendations we can suggest many restaurants, luau's, activities and tours based on what we experience and what our guests report back to us rather than any commissions being paid (we're still waiting for that check to come in). We provide a space for you to leave your luggage if you need to before your rental is available. We truly appreciate welcoming folks to our home and being a part of their magical Hawaiian vacation. Please reach out if you have any questions, we're always happy to share our love of the islands.
