Myriam welcomed me by offering to stock the kitchen with Kona coffee and tea! The condo was immaculate and beautifully decorated with a patio overlooking the ocean. The location is convenient with restaurants and beaches within walking distance. Myriam was helpful throughout my stay. Ill be back!
Comfortable and updated condo with microwave and coffee pot and refrigerator. Waves breaking at night as I slept.

About the host

Hosted by Myriam Edwards

Host profile image
I moved to Hawaii in 1996, spending my first two years on O‘ahu before the fishing and island lifestyle drew my husband and me to the Big Island. This is where we planted our roots and raised our family — our children were born and raised right here in Kona. Living locally for so many years has given us a deep love and knowledge of the island, and we’re always happy to share tips, hidden gems, and local favorites to help make your stay truly special.

Why they chose this property

Island living is the best — no need to rush, just enjoy life. We still work hard, but the good thing is I truly love what I do, so it never feels like a job.

What makes this property unique

The unique charm of this property is that you can sit on the lanai, watch the sunset melt into the ocean, listen to the waves crash, and enjoy a bit of people-watching from this perfectly located spot.
