It was lovely, clean, beautiful view of the water, very safe, free parking, a wonderful place to wine down and relax, great coffee and comfortable beds, and lots of fresh air, I would recommend coming here and unwinding from city life. They even have everything you need to go to the beach or surfing, we where greet and welcomed by the owner with smile and open arms, that made us feel right at home, thank you, I will be coming and recommend this place to all our friends and family.

Great location, easy walk into town

We had everything we needed and were happy with our stay. Having a place to park off-street was a very nice perk, especially since the unit is so close to everything that we just left the car there and walked everywhere. Looking forward to our next visit to Kona!

Disliked: Location
Check-in was smooth and the owners were very responsive and helpful. The decor was flavorful. The lanai room was fun for my kids. A few minor complaints: the windows had only screens so it was a bit loud and hard to fall asleep (surprisingly more traffic than the small neighborhood location would suggest, the toaster lever needed to be held down to get it to work, and the clothes dryer was crazy loud (but it did work). The biggest complaint were the numerous spider webs and big spiders outside in the backyard. No spiders were seen inside. Would recommend.

Perfect on a budget

The place is clean and well equipped. It's a convenient location although there are some noisy dogs in the neighborhood. Hawaii has become so probatively expensive, it was nice to find a place where a family can stay comfortably and have a host who is so generous with towels and snorkel equipment and other necessities.

Don’t miss it!

My two teen kids and I LOVED this place. It is beautiful and has a ton of character, we were so sad we o Lu got to stay for one night and really hope we can return someday. Hosts are exceptionally kind and interesting people, don’t miss a chance to chat with them a bit. I stayed at six places on my trip and this was definitely my favorite. Location is great too for walking into Kona town or getting to most other places n the island.

Comfortable stay with a retro vibe

The Flying Honu is a nice laid-back option for couples who aren’t into the resort scene. We appreciated the kitchen with a small stove where we could make a simple dinner before walking less than a mile down to Ali’i Drive. The location is a densely packed residential area, so there were some barking dogs and some traffic noise (not too close, but audible from the major roads nearby), so a head’s up for light sleepers. Mahalos to Marc for providing a convenient and comfortable stay.
