OCEAN Front Kona Studio - Spectacular view!

This is a very basic room. Not luxurious at all. I had to lug my suitcase up to the third floor! When I walked in, the room was very hot! The A/C cycles on and off and is pretty loud. The street noise is quite loud. The 2 chairs in the unit need to be replaced with something comfortable. The desk did not explain how to open the door. There were 3 different locks on the door and it took me a while to figure it out. Parking was a challenge ! It is a good location for walking around. Lots of restaurants. Everything was there that I needed:fridge, toaster, hairdryer, etc.

Checking in was really easy and the condo was clean and had everything I needed. I loved being able sit out on the deck and enjoy the view of the ocean. It is also in a great location and could walk to shops and dining. Host was responsive to any questions I had. I was only there 2 days, and never had a chance to check out the pool area. I would definitely stay here again.

Good

The view is fabulous. Everything that you could need was there. Had a little bit of trouble with the lock at first, but someone was there to help immediately. Furniture needs to be updated. The cushions were uncomfortable in the chairs and the beds were not very comfortable either. Very convenient location to everything that I was interested in being around.

Directions MIsleading and had to call host several times with no call back

Hot tub was not working and we were not informed in advance. It seemed like the hot tub had been down for a while from the signs posted so there was plenty of time to update the listing or give us notice. Listing still says there is a hot tub despite the fact that the hot tub is still out of service. Towels were insufficient for the length of stay and guests. Coffee pot with no filters.

Read the fine print- washer and dryer are in a coin laundry on the property (in amenities lists W/D but in write up states not in unit). Mini fridge and coffee pot, no kitchen. Great location! Reasonably priced. Walk to everything in Kona. Parking on site. Met our needs well, but not fancy. We mainly needed beds as we were gone all day.

Road traffic was loud. It kept me up.

Great location and room was clean!

Very nice

I am not sure why it’s called a studio? It is just a normal hotel room with a great view of the ocean. Great location. The unit is definitely tired and could use updating.

The studio was nice and clean, everything we needed was there. The host responded quick at questions

Place needs better cleaning and new pillows would be nice.

Nice room with a fantastic view. Near beach’s access and downtown Kona. I would stay again.

Check in staff were great. Right in the heart of downtown Kona and a fantastic view from my patio. Parking is limited so I reduced a star. I recommend this stay.

Centralized location along Ali'i Drive in Kona with great air conditioning! A must for those hot, muggy days. Host met us in-person as our original room had something broken so she switched us to another room.

Close to everything!! Quiet. Good view of the ocean. Great for the two of us.

Enjoyed the stay very much.

One of the beds was very very old thought the bed was going to fall on the floor. The floors turned our fet black? No broom in the room to sweep up the sand. The shower had black hair in it. The little fig, freezer needs to be defrosted. The air filter in the cooler was dirty so I cleaned it. Overall the grounds were beautiful. Sorry for the review but I am retired Motel manager so I see these things. Mahlo

Just as described. Room was in the perfect location. Right in the middle of the downtown area with all the restaurants and bars. Amazing view of the ocean and main strip. Couldn’t have asked for a better place. Thank you!

Prime location with a gorgeous ocean view. It is in the heart of downtown Kailua-Kona. All in all great place to stay at while visit Kailua-Kona. Walking distance to restaurants and bars. Host was very informative of the check in process and guidelines before my arrival. I would recommend updating and maintenance of the unit. (sliding door was hard to open, shower head was leaking water, bad odor behind the fridge, bed mattress was worn out also the skirt was dirty).

It was convenient to the water and restaurants. Quiet at night. Comfortable

As a local, when visitors come we’ve previously stayed in four different condos in this exact building. The location is undeniably fantastic, but the inside of this unit is a huge disappointment. It is decorated so sparsely that it felt like a hospital room. The biggest thing was the sliding glass door barely opened, and the outside was the only saving grace of this place. Other units have been so cozy, cute and beautifully decorated.

The place was pretty good, but it's on the 3rd floor with no elevator. It was not clear in the ad that there wasn't an elevator or I would not have booked this unit. I am disabled so this made the stay a lot less enjoyable.

Very nice, walk everywhere, great place to stay

All great except some confusion on towel cleaning. Upon check in told towel would be replaced once and when went in to let know to do towels on the day of service were told due to duration of stay, no towel service but given detergent to do ourselves. Other than that excellent service and stay and enjoyed the property.

There was only a small fridge and microwave by bathroom. My fault I just took it studio would have a small kitchen. We like to fix a few things and save. Next time I need to make sure and read everything. One bed was very bad and the other wasn’t much better. The v

Wish I’d have looked in bathroom closet before today. Found coffee maker etc. but overall it was a good time.

The property was nice and located close to entertainment but parking is very limited

We will be Back

It was very handy to town and restaurants

Decent room but the beds are old and uncomfortable.

We stayed here for nine days. The unit is small with no kitchen, but that was just fine for us. You can’t beat the location, we were an easy walk to most restaurants and the beach. It has an awesome swimming pool and hot tub.Parking is a challenge, during the busy times we had to park offsite.

Enjoyed the location, spent a lot of time lanai people watching and enjoying the ocen view

Property accurately portrayed, clean, easily accessed and remarkably well located. Uninterrupted views.

Perfect location! Many restaurants and shops is the area. Top floor view of the sunsets and ocean. Never a dull moment. We didn’t mind the stairs but could be a problem if you have mobility issues. My only complaint was the curtains. They don’t cover the window at all and could use a wash. Used my wrap to cover the gap every night.

We have a wonderful experience. The room is simple but has an absolutely incredible view and is in a wonderful location! We could easily walk all around the town of Kona, and we could hear and see the waves from our room.

The studio was clean and comfortable, the host was very responsive to our questions and requests and the location was fantastic with a great view if tge ocean. We woukd definitely stay here again.

This was a beautiful property. Spacious and clean room. Could hear the ocean! My host let me in a few hours early!

It was a cute little apartment in the middle of Kailua-Kona. It was clean, simple and had easy walking access to everything nearby. It is a big island and a car is necessary to check it all out but this was the perfect launching pad

It's a cute little place but we found the parking to be ridiculous especially for an older couple like us and too many stairs. So it would be much better suited for younger people. The location is amazing, however, and the view spectacular. Everything else is average.

Great place to stay. Close to shops and restaurants. We had a great time!!

Everything was exactly as described and Cece was amazing to deal with. We could’ve eaten off the floor…it was THAT clean! The pictures don’t do the view justice. The sun sets from the balcony are amazing!!! The ONLY draw back was the shower mixing valve. It took seven minutes to get hot water and then it was either scalding or ice cold unless you lined it up in an exact spot, but that was the ONLY drawback.
