Enjoy an old world setting in a quaint Hawaiian village at our Tropical Garden View at the Kona Islander Inn. A garden overlook within a secure vintage complex in mid Kailua-Kona, our 2nd floor retro studio apartment allows an easy walk to restaurants, night life, luau, farmers market, church, beaches, kayak and SUP rental. Access to pool, Jacuzzi and BBQ in a tiki lit surround. Limited free parking on premises is available. The apartment is located at the Kona Islander Inn: 75-5776 Kuakini Hwy in Kailua-Kona HIU 96740. This is a vintage complex built in 1963 located within a garden of Ginger, Plumeria and tropical fruit trees lit with tiki torches at night, a setting that has the ring of earlier days. Cleaning and disinfecting of bath, kitchen and living area are done on day of arrival for each and every guest. Fresh linens, always. Something to consider: The garden setting offers habitat for our local bug population. We work to keep them at bay without use of toxic to human chemicals, but flareups may occur.

There is a BBQ by the pool for general use by guests. Guests have open access to the facilities at the Kona Islander Inn.
