Cozy getaway in a central and quiet location
We had a great time, and the hosts were super warm and welcoming. They have a ton of beach gear to borrow, and they made us delicious banana bread! Minutes away from beaches and downtown Kona.
Owners were very nice, friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and comfortable. No problems. Dogs are cute and friendly, too. Only negative was carrying luggage down the stairs to the room.
My husband and I came to visit our son in Kona and we’re delighted at the accommodations that Judy and Michael provided. We will definitely be back again.
We stayed at the Red Ginger Garden Studio 3 nights in February 2025. The studio is charming and well equipped and supplied. The back yard garden is beautiful and great place to start the day with a cup of Kona coffee and the sound of the birds. Michael and Judy were lovely hosts. Would love to come back again.

Fantastic!
I really enjoyed my stay here! Judy and Michael were very kind, and the pups were adorable. Great location, beautiful yard, 10/10 would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Enjoyed the garden, the intimacy, the ability to cook despite the semblance of a simple bedroom, the peaceful mood of the neighborhood, the kindness and warm welcome of the host.
Lovely setting and fantastic hosts! Room was comfortable, lovely and with everything you would need. Garden was such a fantastic extra bonus! Highly recommend this gem.

Home away from home
Michael and Judy were consummate hosts! The room was as pictured and came with home-y touches including towels, beach chairs, and bags for the beach. Additionally, they treated us like welcomed guests with fresh banana bread, sourdough, and fruits (including pineapples, avocados, papayas, and bananas!) from their yard. We had a lovely time chatting with them, while at the same time, being afforded privacy throughout our 5-night stay. It was the best of both worlds. We would 100% stay with them again when traveling back to the Big Island! Mahalo!

happy place
We enjoyed our stay in this happy place! The accommodations were clean, there was fresh fruit in a bowl and a mini-loaf of banana bread in the fridge waiting for us upon arrival. Judy and Michael gave us all the private space we needed but were also helpful when we had questions. There was all sorts of beach equipment available to us, a carport for covered parking, and a sitting area just outside our door for morning coffee and birdwatching.
We accidentally left some expensive chocolate covered macadamia nuts in the fridge. I contacted Micheal and he sent them to us immediately. That's going above and beyond!

Beautiful efficiency near beach and Kona Airport
Michael and Judy are wonderful hosts, very accommodating and responsive to every need. Very nice property and well situated. The efficiency has everything you will need and is quiet and by itself, overlooking a very nice garden. We highly recommend it!
Judy and Michael are the best hosts! From the fresh fruit- oranges, figs, papaya!- to the bird-filled backyard, we felt like we were in our own sunny little paradise. It was so peaceful and welcoming. They gave great suggestions for beaches, coffee, and things-to-do. They basically said the backyard was ours, and it was so nice to sit outside- in February! - enjoying our coffee and homemade banana bread. This was our 1st trip to Hawaii and I'm so glad that we went to Kona- it is stunning, and Red Ginger House is a place we'd definitely want to return to. It's a great choice if you prefer a quieter experience away from the crowds and resorts. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

Best place in Kona to stay!
Judy & Michael are the best hosts. Beautiful property. Safe and quite place to rest your head. Looking forward to our next stay there. Close drive to eating, beach and town. Place was clean and the homemade banana bread was amazing along with all the nice fruit. The two small dogs are very friendly. Felt at home.

Most relaxing.
Judy and Michael and their cute puppies were so very friendly and accommodating. Sometimes we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. It was also nice to visit with them. Our stay on the island was just more relaxing and carefree because of our stay in their home away from home.

Hidden gem in paradise
This adorable place was more than what we expected. We were welcomed so kindly by Judy, Michael, and the cutie dogs. We felt at home and was a place so clean, peaceful, and has all the extra necessities. We loved our homemade banana bread, fruits, and hearing the birds in the morning. The garden is beautiful. The house is conveniently located near restaurants, beaches, & shopping area. It is in a safe and quiet neighborhood. We wish we could have stayed longer for vacation but we are looking forward to come back again.

While it had everything I needed and then some it was not as private as I had expected. Also be aware of the stairs you will need to go up and down every time you come/go.

Beautiful property, nice hosts and friendly dogs
This is a nice unit with a private entrance in the lower level of a private home. Beautiful yard, nice hosts and friendly dogs. They have water gear to use such as beach chairs, boogy boards, masks/snorkels, etc. The only downside is there is no air conditioning in the unit. There is a ceiling fan and multiple windows that open however.
