Awesome Sauce Location

We really loved our stay here. We enjoyed the large living room, kitchen amenities, ability to do laundry, and the convenience of being able to walk across the street to the beach, restaurants, outdoor markets, etc. This place is not fancy but neither are we. It was perfect for our family's stay in Hawaii. Thank you David you were an excellent host.

Tina, Thanks for your response. Please let me know what we can do better so the access problem is easier for future guests. Normally, I send keys by mail but this was a short notice and couldn't be worked out in time. I know the lockbox is a bit difficult to operate as we opened it upon arrival. Was there something else? Thanks again, David

Thoroughly enjoyable

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It's in a wonderful location, within walking distance to so many restaurants, bars, shopping and on and on. We didn't rent a car this year, our 3rd year in this area, and walked everywhere we went (except for an island bus tour and the Kona trolley.) Also, you can see and hear the ocean from the condo which was very relaxing for us. Lastly, we found the condo to be very clean and it had everything we needed for our stay.

Spacious unit in central Kailua-Kona

Excellent place to stay. David was very thorough on the check in procedure, and with the operational details of the condo. It is a large 1 bedroom unit and could fit two additional people with the Murphy bed in the living room. The location is walking distance to several good restaurants, and sunset views. We enjoyed fresh fruit for breakfast on the lanai, which had a partial ocean view. It was a great place to base out of for our week of exploring the Big Island!

Totally Right

I have stayed at many VRBO properties and this one is in a perfect location for all things Kailua-Kona and big island. Property is loved and not just a rental. Owner provided so much more than just a place to stay. From appliances to snorkels it’s provided. Thanks so much for the great memories for my family.

Everything we needed

David was a great, communicative host. His apartment is centrally located, making it easy to walk to many good restaurants and cafes, plus the included parking made exploring the island easy. The apartment is clean, nicely decorated, and the kitchen is fully stocked. It does sometimes get a little bit loud in the area at night but we weren't really bothered. Overall, we would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by David Threefoot

Host profile image
Hi, I'm David, one of four siblings that own this condo in Kona. I live in Portland, Oregon with my wife, Eileen. We love travel and have stayed in many locations with Home Away over the years. I enjoy playing banjo,, guitar, learning to speak Danish and physical activity. My favorite activities when visiting the condo are walking, bike riding and hiking along with the usual activities of snorkeling and sunbathing. There is so much to see. and do there. Our visits are always full of wonder and joy.

Why they chose this property

This condo was our father's home since the 1980. He has since passed away. During his life there, he absolutely loved the islands and was very active in hiking and exploring Hawaii. He never missed a sunset in front of the Kona Ali'i lanai. I spent many memorable evenings with his community of friends, watching the sunset and hoping for the "Green Flash" We saw a few times but it was always an unknown. The location is perfect for getting around. The ocean is front and center, there is a great coffee house nearby and many restaurants minutes away. The condo has a fine pool, water feature. We provide WiFI and cable TV as well as a DVD player with internet content. It's quiet and convenient.

What makes this property unique

One of my favorite features is the water feature. It is just below our lanai and it has a relaxing sound but best of all, it attracts local bird populations. At any time you an see cardinals, japanese white eyes and java sparrows. Occasionally a more rare species will visit. We've had them venture into the living room when we've left the patio door open. It is something I always look forward to during our visits.
