Room in a condo

Your own room in a home, plus access to shared spaces.
This Airbnb host brings the best in hospitality for those who enjoy having someone around during your work assignments or extended stay in Hawaii . You will have a small private bedroom and bath with shared common areas where you can take in amazing views of the coast, dolphins, whales and other sea life. When available, though I work a lot, I love to hear about you and l am happy to help you find fun activities in Kona. Welcome to Hale o Mele, the place of Hawaiian music!

The space
This condo brings with it a new experience for folks wanting to keep their vacation or business costs to a minimum, so they can be outdoors loving this island. This place is quiet, beautiful, and respite from a long day.

Many folks ask about discounts. The monthly charge is discounted and include all taxes. This condo is a smoke free environment. Smoking may occur outside, off the condo building property. This is a great location for solo vacationers or traveling healthcare or business professions.

Guest access
Guests will have access to the common areas of the kitchen, living room and lanais. Your bedroom is private. The bath is a guest bathroom used by guests (yourself or other who visit). I have my own bathroom.

During your stay
As a host, I am home evenings and weekends and try to be available while letting you do your own thing. The living areas on the lanai as well as inside are great places to hang out and plan your Kona activities or enjoy a meal.

Other things to note
Many folks ask me about added taxes. The taxes are built in to the overall price. 4.75% for General Excise tax and 10.25% for Transient Accommodations Tax. Airbnb takes their cut from both you and me. Anyway, what makes it nice is that the total price you see is the price you pay.

AC is available upon request for the bedroom. I do request that you only use it at night, as utility costs are very high in Hawaii.

Cost includes cleaning of the common areas once a month and all utilities and internet.

Neighbourhood highlights

This condo is located centrally to Kona just 2 miles from Magic Sands beach which is great for body surfing or go just a little further 2.5 miles to Kahaluu Beach park to snorkel in Kona's marine reserve and cultural center. At the end of the day, you can go to town for a great meal or live entertainment which is only 3.5 miles away. Holualoa town is just 3 miles up the mountain and you will be able to shop from local artists and enjoy Kona Coffee and the nice little restaurant and coffee bar Holuakoa Coffee Shack.

I have been an Airbnb host since 2015. When I travel I use Airbnb but most of my time is spent ensuring my guests are happy. I hope to make your stay enjoyable and your visit to Hawaii a memorable experience. Originally from Orange County, California, Hawaii has been my home since 1990. My day job keeps me challenged in the Department of Education, particularly focusing on children's mental health. It is my passion, and keeps my life full of new challenges. I enjoy traveling and meeting new people from around the world. When possible, I look forward to meeting you, maybe talking on the beach or having great conversations about philosophy, literature, music, the arts, and organic food and wine or local culture! In my spare time, I play slack key Hawaiian guitar and have been blessed to study with the great masters of slack key (Ledward Kaapana and Ozzie Kotani). Please feel free to reach out if you want to know more about my properties here in Hawaii...Aloha!
