This is our sanctuary, vacation home for the winter we would love to share with you. It is a clean, quiet, quaint condo here in Kailua-Kona on Hawaii Island. It has all the amenities needed for a quiet restful stay and yet is just a few hundred feet away from restaurants and shops on the Ocean Front of Alii Drive. Our intimate, quaint studio is 420 sq ft of simple Hawaiian living. It is a quiet corner ground floor unit so thank goodness no stairs to climb!! We have a small extra refrigerator in the living room. Our kitchenette has a family size refrigerator and freezer that is ample space for the local fresh produce you will buy from the Farmers Market. Plenty of drawer space and a work desk. Our kitchenette is also stocked. You will have your own entrance. For hygiene reasons we do not supply beach toys, snorkels or fins. We ask that you also please keep the screen doors closed at all times to prevent insects entering. When cooking we would appreciate you opening the front and lanai doors but keeping screen doors closed. This helps to keep the unit ventilated. Mahalo. We live in Iowa for the Spring, Summer and Fall and return to our condo for the winter to get away from the snow:) We do have an on Island contact who will be available for emergency support and any questions you may have during your stay. She also has full access to this site and helps with bookings. Her telephone number and more details are available in the unit once you check in. The neighborhood is safe and still has the local 'Hawaiian Aloha' feeling of welcome. Most restaurants and shops close, or are winding down at 9pm - 9.30pm so an earlier dinner/shopping is recommended to avoid disappointment. Transportation is VERY limited on the Island. A rental car is recommended from the airport so you can drive back to the airport for your departure. Most of the major Car Rental Companies are at the airport with a shuttle service to the Car Rental from curb-side at the Airport. There is a local trolley service available and that schedule is available from the Main Lobby. There are quiet hours throughout the complex from 10pm to 8am and we do ask that you respect those for everyone's pleasure. There are also designated smoking areas towards the exit of the property for your convenience. We ask that you do not smoke in, or in the vicinity of the condo, to prevent fines that will be accorded to your billing through AirBNB. You will be asked to sign acceptance of these restrictions upon check in. Parking is free on a first-come, first-served basis. A parking pass will be given to you at check-in but this does not guarantee you parking. Additionally due to the tropical, weather we ask that guests take their trash out daily. Mahalo.
