Great location, staff was very nice, it was very low key. If you are looking for luxurious, this is not for you but if you want a nice, simple room with a great view and an ocean breeze, this is your place. The sunsets were beautiful, even saw dolphins while having my coffee in the morning. No AC or TV and the parking lot is small but they tell you all that when you read about the hotel amenities so it shouldn’t be a surprise. We enjoyed the walk to the restaurants and shopping, it’s about a mile and half walking to and from downtown area. The waves are very loud this time of year and woke me up a few times crashing in . I’ll bet it’s perfect in the spring or summer. Overall, really enjoyed the hotel and would stay again mostly because it’s peaceful (no little kids) and the views are fabulous and I like the vibes in general.

Great surfer hotel (even if you’re not a surfer). Each room has a view of breaking waves and the hotel salt water pool looks out on the ocean. The hotel is simple yet nicely decorated and adequate free parking. We really enjoyed our stay.

3 star hotel good location but some cons

This tiny hotel is in a good location right on the ocean and about a 15 to 20 minute walk into town. It has a very tiny parking lot. There is no air conditioning so you hear the sound of the breaking waves at all times the bathroom is tiny and for us was a major problem because we could barely get any hot water And the water pressure was really bad. The pool is OK and we did use it every day for a quick swim, so there are pros but some cons as well.

Great little hotel right on the water. Manager Jim was fantastic, friendly, and attentive. Fairly close to good restaurants. Parking is very small and tight, if you have a mid size or larger vehicle, good luck parking here. You will have to park across the strret. Pool was clean. Water pressure is low. Overall, great place, would stay again.

The location of the property was convenient and had pretty landscape. However, the facility lacked drawer space for your belongings, no phone or television; plus, there was no daily laundry service for bedding or towels. You basically had to request services. In addition, there was no air conditioning and parking was extremely limited.

This place is perfect. It's small, quiet, right up to the ocean, has a salt water pool, and the room is bright and welcoming. Sleeping with the sliding door open to the sounds of crashing waves on the rocks is sheer heaven. It's close enough to downtown Kona that you could walk to the restaurants and shopping. Lovely staff, too.

The best rooms with the best views that you'll find for the price. An excellent family owned place that was very personable and relaxed. Being right on the ocean and just a few minute drive from the popular beaches, snorkel spots and downtown Kona shopping and food. It's not a typical hotel type stay, meaning there was no AC, TV, free breakfast type of amenities, but like many have said, they are not needed. Being 20 feet away from the ocean, it's plenty cool to sleep at night listening to the waves. It's warm in the rooms in the middle of the day, but 2 fans are provided to take the edge off. Being able to make some coffee and step out onto our personal patio and watch the tides in the morning and the sunset every night was a highlight of our stay. The parking lot is in fact tight to get in and out of, but after a few times, you get used to it, and after being in Kona for a week and seeing the parking situations everywhere, just having enough free parking at all is a blessing. You will hear some road noise behind you, random people with loud cars and playing obnoxious music, but without AC units, and other guests TV's, it is a very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Jim and the ladies up front were great hosts. Always around to provide anything we needed. The beds and pillows were also some of the most comfortable we've had at any hotel. The only thing that really needed an upgrade was the shower water pressure, so getting off the sunscreen before bed took some scrubbing.
