My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here, finding it to be a peaceful location where we could relax and just stay local. It was a short walk to Manini Beach Park, which features a small ocean entry that leads to awesome snorkeling. Place of Refuge was 4 miles away down a very quiet remote road.
"Kona Kay" is a very giving, friendly, gracious host. She was very accessible as she works constantly outside at her house next door. She makes and sells at a small roadside stand some of the tastiest treats on the island! Her macnut brittle and banana bread are renowned. The couple that live downstairs below the 2nd floor VRBO apartment were very personable, too (the ground floor washer and dryer is shared with them, and easily accessed via the backdoor staircase).
The apartment is clean and "homey"--- not fancy, but fully functional. We loved the main entrance at the top of the stairs: an outer door that opens to a screened porch area that leads to the main door to the apartment. It was a great place to remove ones shoes and set down any gear in order to keep the interior clean and dry. Upon entry the living room and kitchen are in one large room, while the bedrooms are on opposite sides of a short hallway. The main bathroom has tub, shower, toilet, sink and is at the start of the hallway on the side between the kitchen and second bedroom. The second bathroom is a toilet and sink, located at the end of the hallway between the 2 bedrooms. The main bedroom, on the living room side of the apartment, is quite large and has 2 closets. The second bedroom is about 60% of the size, still roomy enough to not feel cramped, with one large closet. We generally had gentle breezes which cooled the apartment at night. There was an air conditioner in the main bedroom and a plethora of fans, but we didn't need them in February.
Overall, we felt very comfortable and at home at Kay's. If you're looking for basic accommodations without glitz and granite, Kay's will leave you more than satisfied...and wishing to return.
