Summer Deal Ocean View 2BR Kona Condo with Lanai and Resort Pool

Do not rent this property. No air conditioning, 100 degrees inside. The worst experience I have ever had while traveling.

This unit is not at all reflective of the price. I have stated multiple times in Hawaii in units that do not have air conditioning but were designed for adequate ventilation. This unit was horrible. Our first night was so uncomfortable we decided we needed to find another rental. It was also dirty, carpets significantly stained, torn chair cushions, broken window blinds and broken bathroom towel rods. We were enable to find any other place to stay so we actually paid more money to fly home early! VRBO was not much help. I was unable to get the property owner to pick up the phone or return my message. All they did was send me a text saying they were trying to get in touch with me…but they didn’t answer the phone when I called. They also stated that they didn’t have access to VRBO platform to respond to my message alerting them of the issue. They agreed to refund 25% of the rental fee but only refunded a 278. I will not be renting from vrbo knowing that I am not protected.

Close to all amenities. Pool area great & cleaned twice a week. Beds were comfy. Needs knives that can cut more than butter. No AC is a problem as it’s too humid. Master bedroom never cools down. We also bought a light for the master.

Great location within walking distance of town.

The location is good. The unit itself is in need of upkeep. Prior reviewers commented on carpet stains and host replied they would be addressed, but the stains were still pretty gross. In addition, the upholstery was coming off the dining chairs and towels bar in master bath was broken. Those are both 1 hr fixes that reflect neglect more than anything. There was one 60w bulb in a bedside lamp to illuminate the entire master bedroom. Strangely, though we had 4 guests, there was only one washcloth and one hand towel per bathroom, though two bath towels were provided. I've never seen anything like that in the past! Silly and thoughtless!Worst of all was the lack of AC. I have stayed in places in Hawaii on the Kona coast without AC, in fact that is the standard in many places, if they are situated to catch a breeze. This unit is in the building more inland of the two buildings on the property and the doors and windows are on the north and south of the building. Onshore breezes flow from west to east so even with the numerous fans all running all the time and leaving the locking screen door secured with the solid door open for the entire stay, the lack of actual breeze made several evenings too hot for decent sleep. The unit was equipped with beach chairs and umbrella and a cooler. Boogie boards would have been a nice touch. There was a vacuum and a mop, but no broom, also kind of odd.Over all, we would not return to this unit.

The location was great. The apartment had all the things we needed to make a few meals at home and enjoy the evening. The pool was enjoyed by my son a few times.

The carpet stains should be removed, the master bedroomlight fixed as only light in the bedroom. New pillows to replace and it might be worth the 500 a night. Also the ads misrepresented the unit.

Property was clean and. It was close to the beach . It was very humid though and it is hard to get used too. That was really my only complaint is that you don't get any relief from the heat . All of us are used to air conditioning so it was a struggle that's for sure. Otherwise it was an okay place.

This property was so close to downtown Kona! Perfect location to go into town or on the main road to explore. Condo was clean and perfect size for my group of 4! There was no AC but they provide you with numerous fans. We opened up the screened in windows and sliding doors for more air and it was perfectly comfortable the whole stay day and night. They also provide beach amenities and a cooler that came in hand! 10/10 would stay again!

Great location in Kailua near shops and the beach. The pool area is lovely. The space was quiet and peaceful. Great location for island adventures! The unit is very simple but has all the necessities.

We loved staying in this condo. It was very clean and the neighbors were quiet and freindly. We liked having a close parking spot and plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen had everything we needed. The wonderful breeze that kept the place cool

It was a great place definitely would rent again. Only wish there was AC in this unit. It was hot sometimes. But we used all the fans to try and cool down the house. Other than that it was amazing!

Great place, fantastic location, but it's a little expensive considering you don't even get AC.

The condo is in OK shape. A few dinged tiles & scuff marks. So akin to a Motel 6. Would have been a fine place to sleep if it hadn’t been for the constant contact with roaches. It’s Hawai’i- bugs exist, but to have them in the utensil drawer, dishwasher, both bathrooms and to have multiple roaches run out of the toaster while using it was less than copacetic . I attempted to contact the people in charge and got silence in return. Will be sterilizing my luggage and everything in them when I get home. DO NOT STAY HERE

If you can't tolerate heat don't stay here! Location is very convenient to Kona town, many places are walkable. Condo could use a facelift but was adequate, just did not cool down at night. Be prepared to be in a bit of a fishbowl with neighbors uncomfortably close close.

The two bed apartment was clean and had a fully supplied kitchen for meals. The unit is quiet even thought there are permanent tenements. There is road noise being close to the main road. Within walking distance to the town of Kona and beaches. The one negative is that the unit does not face the ocean, so don’t get a crossbreeez without running fans. Overall a good place to stay for the money.

Well prepared, clean, interestingly located apartment, easy to use. Nice pool. Small remarks: It is worth repairing (lubricating) the lock on the entrance door because it is difficult to open and close. Also, the gate to the pool closes too hard by itself (it caused minor leg damage).

Beds are comfortable, house had all we needed, pool was nice. I'd stay here again!

The condo is well located, albait not exactly across the street from Holn beach, 4 minutes walk away, but still great. Very clean large rooms, lots of fans to help with the fact there is no A/C, but we were aware and accepted the fact before renting. Very close to the Hot Spots in Kona. Well equipped en the kitchen and comfortable beds and sheets. The only complaint, even though we were not there for that is the TV service has no Live TV. If you like old shows…

Beautiful apartment. Nice pool . Great neighbors . A lot of stores near by . The grill is a plus to bbq . Beauty view. Art gallery . We highly recommend this place

It was pretty much what I expected at this price range. A/c would have been nice

This condo is so convenient to downtown Kona. Having two bedrooms and baths as well as full size washer and dryer made it very comfortable for our family. The view of sunsets from the back deck was amazing, and the pool is lovely. We really enjoyed our stay here!

We enjoyed our stay and it was only a 10-15-minute walk to downtown Kona. It would have been good to know that the Hele On shuttle was free, but we probably would have walked anyway because there was construction elsewhere on the route that made stop times unpredictable. The unit was clean and we enjoyed having the pool. It was a bit hot a couple nights, but otherwise had a good time and saved a little money by making a few meals in the kitchen. Of course we ate out too. It was a great vacation.

The blinds really need to be replaced, all broken and could not close for privacy. Great lanai, pool and barbecue. Very comfortable!

Easy access to where the action is at. Units was clean and well maintained!

The place is clean and quite large for a place in Hawaii. I did not notice when I booked that there was no air conditioning. Except for the first night, when it was unbearably hot, that wasn't a problem. But I will be careful to check in the future for air conditioning. Also, you should know that one of the bedroom windows opens almost directly onto a fairly busy street. That's why I gave four stars for location and neighborhood.

The condo itself needs some upkeep. Our refrigerator broke on Christmas Eve. We did get a replacement that set in our dining room area. The owners made a decision to try to fix instead of replacing. We were stuck with a dining/living room refrigerator for the remainder if our vacation. 3 weeks. We had knives and pots/pans that were rusted out. Two of the dining room chairs had big tips in them. But Kona was wonderful.

I liked property was near the water. The unit didn't have internet fix before we came.
