Reviews
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a wonderful place! It’s so much more spacious than a typical hotel room and perfectly located near Kona. You’re right on the water, with a pool and hot tub to relax in—or you can use it as a home base for adventures all over the island, which is exactly what we did. The stay was peaceful, quiet, and thoroughly enjoyable. The unit itself is charming and in great condition, with updated flooring and a cozy feel. Every morning, I walked to Green Flash Coffee and brought back some of their incredible brew to enjoy on the lanai before we set out for the day. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our 40th wedding anniversary trip to Kona Makai 1-103 on the Big Island. Truly, the owners have done a marvelous job renovating the unit. We cooked in the unit every day and ate on the beautiful lanai as we listened to the soothing waves. The unit was clean and the bed was super comfortable. The AC units in both the living room and bedroom kept the place cool in the heat of the day. You can trust Knutson & Associates with your vacation needs. They provided stellar customer service when my wife had questions about one of the new appliances. The property was better than we expected, and we would definitely recommend this unit. Some recommendations: Hawaii Forest and Trail Maunakea Summit & Stars, Seaquest Premium Morning Snorkel, Hilo Farmers' Market, 808 Grindz, and Tuk Tuk Thai Food Truck.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Needed to be remodeled 25 yrs ago. Everything, and I mean everything is old, dingy, dirty, rusty, stained or just falling apart. Old lumpy twin mattresses connected together pretending to be a king bed well good luck for a good night’s sleep. Everything in this unit is poor quality. Old furniture and all housewares looked like they came from thrift shops and garage sales. Owner hasn't spent a nickel he wasn't forced to. Stove replaced-too unsafe to operate, dishwasher died, not replaced, plumbing dreadful with leaky pipes-bathroom smells like a urinal on occasions from upper floors, occasional flooding in kitchen, bathtub doesn't drain well and sewer fly infestations. Filthy stained carpet. Property manager was excellent though; when the bath tub wouldn’t drain, bringing new towels (there was only 2), a new microwave when it died and finally replacing refrigerator door shelves that were duct taped on. But just lipstick on a pig.
