Surfer Room - a great little place
Our room and bathroom were super clean and tidy. It seemed the entire property was maintained in excellent condition. We arrive at night and were surprised to see how close to the beach we were in the morning!

The "Surfer Room" was an idyllic little space on a gorgeous big island property that just "Screamed" HAWAII! loved everything about this place!

Overall, it was a good little place. However, not to be nitpicky, it didn't have a sofa and the bathroom requires leaving the room. Not the end of the world, but a consideration when choosing a room. I didn't care for it. Close to to the beach, a nice bar and restaurants nearby. Clean. The staff forgot we were coming (surprise!) When we arrived, but seemed like a nice kid.

Our room was quiet with a comfortable bed and a beautiful view of the ocean with also the sounds of the ocean waves. The staff was responsive and friendly. So close to Kahalu’u Beach Park with wonderful snorkeling. The room does not have air-conditioning, but it has wonderful louvered windows and a ceiling fan, and also a room fan which we didn’t need in February.

We found The Big Island Rereat to be just as good as the pictures! It was easy to find right off Ali'i drive. Check in and out were both very easy. We stayed in the Ocean View room which was just as advertised. There is no AC which is in the room description so there was no surprise. Ceiling fan and to other larger standing fans kept the air moving through the room. There is a common area which has beach chairs to use and some snorkel gear and boogie boards as well and an outdoor kitchen with 2 BBQs and full sized fridge for anyone there can use
The only challenge on the property was the parking. There is enough parking for the rooms, it's just a little tight especially if you wnat to back-in. I would suggest Not renting a large SUV.
Overall the facility worked out perfecly for our vacation.

Clean and comfortable and a quick walk to a nice snorkeling beack and rental bikes. Washer & dryer on premises. Parking is free, but spaces are very small. Can hear the surf all night (no a/c but it isnt necessary). Outdoor kitchen for bbq etc. About 4 mi from all the hubbub in old Kona-town. Would definitely return to this place!

Kona requires air conditioning
The managers were responsive. Beds were good. Price was reasonable for Kona area. I was aware that there was no air conditioning, but when it is 86 in the daytime and vert humid, no chance to cool off until after 9 some nights. You have to keep all windows open as well as drapes to get an air flow. Feel rather exposed to neighbors and get to listen to the dogs.
We were in Bamboo. Maybe other rooms are better. Our screen porch has no door, so the heat of the day really makes it toasty.
Also, the kitchenette shares the sink with the bathroom.
There are many pictures on line, but you cant tell which unit they are showing. Most other rooms had adequate kitchens.
Sorry to sound so negative, but we had 3 or 4 nights that we hardly slept because of heat, humidity and motion lights
