Best Value Keauhou Palena--2 Bed 2 Bath Golf Course in Kona

Overall the host was very welcoming and accommodating. All amenities were in working order and contributed to a good stay. One thing short of perfect was towels smelled sour and of course nature and the tiny ant invasion. We washed towels with vinegar rectifying the sour towels but had no Diatomaceous Earth for the tiny ants… warm, cozy, and a good stay!

It was a cozy apartment located at a beautiful community. convenient to go to everywhere.We had good time there as a family.

The property was exactly as described! The area was quiet and clean and within walking distance of grocery and food, and only a short drive from the shops and restaurants on Ali’i. The only thing you have to be mindful of is tiny tiny ants that hang out in the sink…but they dissappear if you keep the sinks clean, and there are plenty of cleaning supplies if they bother you; they did not bother us. We did not see any other bugs inside, and the place was in great shape. We had fantastic communication with the owner, and had no problems with our stay what so ever. Would definitely stay here again!

One of the celling fans didn't work, but they were quick to respond. I did find several large water bugs dead in the floor when I arrived, so I did have to clean it before I stayed in it. But the overall experience was good.

A quiet and convenient location on Kona coast. Close to shopping plaza and many attractions. The unit is clean and well-stocked. Host was responsive to our questions and maintenance request. A/C was very nice to have in summer. A great place to stay when touring the big island with family.

My family including 2 kids, 3 adults used this condo as a home base in Kona. The decor may be a bit dated, but everything was functional and just what we needed. We appreciated the beach supplies including boogie boards, chair, towels, etc. We especially enjoyed having AC as it was quite hot during our stay

Better than advertised, would absolutely stay there again

This place was perfect for us. Group of 5 (2 older teens, 3 adults). Beautiful location, easy to find, quiet, parking was great. Everything we needed was included. Management and maintenance were fantastic to deal with. There was beach towels and gear available which was super convenient. Highly recommend this place!

We had a bit of trouble finding the rental unit when we arrived late at night. But once we found it, the keypad worked like a charm and the unit was clean and as described. The condo location is nice and convenient. The lanai looks out onto the golf course next door and we used the electric grill to prepare dinner a couple of evenings. We enjoyed the pool and morning walks to the nearby dock. The condo also had snorkels, fins, boogie board, beach chair, cooler, an umbrella that we borrowed for our trips to nearby beaches (King Kam beach was our family's favorite). We have nothing bad to say about the unit itself, but the downstairs neighbor was a bit of a nightmare. He screamed at us the first morning as we were leaving for breakfast, accusing us of being too loud and stomping on the floors the night before. When he thought we were making too much noise, he banged on his ceiling to express his displeasure. Most nights, when we returned from our daily activities, he would leer at us from behind the screen door. He even yelled at my son for playing with his plants. Admittedly, my kids can get a bit noisy and rambunctious at times. They did get a bit excited that first night when checking out our new place. But this jerk had seemingly zero tolerance for even a little bit of noise. It felt like we were walking on eggshells all week, and the dynamic definitely made our trip less enjoyable. Overall, it was a good place, but families should be warned about the jerk downstairs.

We enjoyed our stay. Apartment was adequately equipped.

We have rented this condo 3 times for 3 months because of location. Perfect for us as we paddle for a canoe club that we can walk to. Condo itself? The complex itself has a great manager, Jay, and grounds are meticulously maintained. The condo - inferior to others in complex. (We have rented in 3 others). However, Not renting again. Each year fees go up and upkeep of this unit goes down. We are told by owner what a “deal” we are getting. It is very tired. One example: Lanai furniture has never changed-plastic fold up table, sun bleached, discolored plastic chairs. Look around at other lanais in same complex. Amenities- scarce. Fry pans so scratched- unsanitary for use. Coffee pot bottom burned. Towels & sheets threadbare, one thin blanket, garbage disposal kept breaking-we reset each time.When we asked items were supplied. The question being? Why did we have to keep asking. If you have reasonable cleaning standards, they will not be met here. Incidentally, checked area cleaning fees—-highest in area. We have rented another, comparable, but very updated condo for less money. Regardless of what is said, they are available. If staying for a short stay/ doable. Longer? I’d look elsewhere.

The property was clean, spacious, in a great location to Kona and amenities and very well furnished Our unit would be perfect for a family of 3/4. The lanai is large and we enjoyed breakfast outside every morning with a beautiful view. Overall very pleased with our choice and a special mention to Meredith and Scott for their assistance during our stay.

Clean, near everything. Everything we needed! Thanks!

Got message while flying that the water heater was broken and could not be fixed for 3 days. After the 3 days, no one called or showed up. WE called and were told it would be another 2 days until it could be fixed We had to go to another unit to shower We canceled and went to an Air BNB where we could shower in our unit. Very unfortunate because the unit was nice

Nice. Hope back again for ironman

Clean. Comfortable. Quiet neighborhood. Short drive to town. Short walk to water.

The unit was a perfect size for a family of 4. The balcony overlooking the golf course was huge and very pleasant for eating outside at the table. It was further from the downtown area than we thought. We had to drive everywhere we went.

Space was well organized and owners tried to have everything you need for a stay in Hawaii. We got locked out of unit when sliding door locked us on deck. Manager was there in minutes to open door
