Kona Plaza#302: Third Floor, Ocean View in Heart of Kona Town, Ac & Elevators

Door to the patio was left open with AC off, so the room was 90F when we arrived.Main A/C does not work but we were not told that up front. Instead there is one small AC in the main room and one in the bedroom. The remotes did not initially turn them on and instead they had to be manually turned on at the unit. Normal expectation would be for the A/C to be on at least at 80F prior to arrival with the patio door closed.Pool was closed but we weren't told until 2 days before arrival. No discount offered and the alternative provide was a public pool (give me a break!).Parking garage is a construction zone with lots of support scaffolding. Makes you wonder if the building was in danger of collapsing.It was not made clear where the best place to park is. Given there are two different elevators parking location is important.The elevator requires a key to get down to the parking level but only to go down and only to the basement level. Going up is no problem. This is just stupid.Door to the patio was left open with AC off, so the room was 90F when we arrived.Main A/C does not work but we were not told that up front.

Great location close to shops and beaches.

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: This property is a perfect location in the heart of Kona! We were here for 2 weeks and this was a great base for sightseeing and relaxing. You could stay here without a car and walk to shopping, restaurants and beaches.We rented a car because we wanted to drive to several locations on the island. There is an underground parking garage and elevators. It has a beautiful view of the water from the balcony to enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset. Knutson & Assoc were amazing to work with from the beginning of our rental process. Their instructions were clear and easy to follow. They checked in on us after arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. I can't say enough nice things about Knutson! Thank you for a great vacation!

Property was as described with a fully stocked kitchen, a washer/dryer, comfortable bed and a view of the ocean from the balcony. It was a great location in the middle of downtown making it easy to walk to multiple stores and restaurants. The property was very clean and communication with the property management company was easy with quick responses. The only downside was a musty smell.

Very convenient location to town and to the staging area of the event we were attending. The condo was cozy and comfortable and had an amazing ocean view.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was very clean and tidy upon arrival. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony for meals we cooked using the well-equipped kitchen. We could walk out of the back of the building on to the main tourist street where there are restaurants, shops, and attractions. We were able to park in the garage although it was under renovation and lacked sufficient lighting. Beware that the building HOA has onerous stipulations reinforced by stiff financial penalties ($100-$200) concerning parking, parking pass display, registration, key loss,and lanai appearance. The condo managers at Knutson do however constantly remind you of the rules and fines. It helps to avoid being fined I admit, but I felt we were living in a police state. Knutson was fine but I had difficulty understanding some of the billing practices. I was told the bill auto-populated and charged me for renter's insurance I did not request. Watch out for the 3% credit card fee too.

The property is managed by a great local real estate company. The unit is extremely clean, everything is perfect, and the person we had staying in there loved it. There's no need for a rental car since it's right in Kailua town, but the ability to park a car is easy. Parking lot going through some construction, but that didn't affect anything. Would highly recommend any unit through Knutson!
