"Such a cool experience staying at a beautiful B&B on a coffee farm! The property was peaceful and secluded, but still a short drive from Kona town and the airport. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the breakfast was delicious. Dan was a wonderful host and chef. Thanks for the great hospitality!"

"Beautiful condo and convenient washer and dryer inside the condo itself. We had a partial ocean view and it was absolutely breathtaking. Very close to so many places and only 30min from the airport"

"We’ve been staying at Kona Islander since 2008 and have stayed in several different units over the years. We keep coming back because we love the location and atmosphere, and the staff during this visit were absolutely wonderful, friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We had a great stay overall. Our main disappointment with this particular unit was that it did not have a hot plate or small stovetop. One of the reasons we choose Kona Islander instead of a traditional hotel is the ability to prepare meals during longer stays. We stayed for 10 days and went to Costco planning to make many of our breakfasts, lunches, and dinners in the room, but with only a microwave, we couldn’t do that as planned. This unit also had only a small refrigerator, while other units we’ve stayed in at the property had a full-size refrigerator and freezer. That was less important to us, but worth mentioning. We would absolutely stay at Kona Islander again. We just hope the owner considers adding a hot plate or small stovetop to this unit. That one addition would have made an otherwise wonderful stay even better."
