Convenient location , quiet, private with parking. Bed & pillows need an upgrade and no A/C which was fine for us but might not be for others. Shower clean and good hot water and pressure. Fridge was helpful. Good pricing too.

Perfect in town location

We needed a basic place to stay for our arrival in Kona before our stay further south was to begin. Easy to find. Clean, small kitchenette. Fan helped since no AC. Quiet location. Parking right outside the door. Rooster wakeup call. Owner very kind, and helpful and available if needed. Would definitely stay here again.

Basic, Clean, Simple, Adequate

The property is clean and as advertised. The neighborhood is not attractive. The bed is hard. The refrigerator and kitchen was great! The walk to the harbor is as described. The owners live in the house behind the rental. There is an upstairs rental. I can see how this place gets complaints of being noisy, but for our stay all was quiet. It was commensurate with the rate, let's face it Kona is expensive!

A really nice stay!

The appartment is small but very cozy. It was clean and equipped with the necessary utensils. Really close to the ocean and the center of Kailua-Kona. We also enjoyed sitting by the table outside while having breakfast or in the evening. Marc is a really friendly host and everything went well.

Excellent location in Kona Town

Nestled in the hillside, a few blocks from Ali'i Dr, the Surf Hideaway is a good base from which to explore the area. The owners are super friendly and offer all sorts of water sports equipment to their guests. But if you're looking for luxurious lodging, this place would probably miss the mark for you. The bed could use replacing, but the linens were fresh & clean. The door does have a functioning lock so the review stating otherwise is no longer accurate. There was no AC, but I wasn't expecting that given this is Hawaii and cooling tropical breezes prevail. The kitchen was well equipped however, you might find a creepy crawler but, again, this is a tropical island where such things are not uncommon. Personally I prefer a place where toxic pesticides are not overly used. Just make sure to wash dishes prior to use and don't leave open containers of food out (there's a good sized refrigerator to store everything). All in all, it was a good stay but maybe best suited for younger people working with a tight budget, or older folks looking for an adventure.
