It would be helpful to have a big bowl for salad or for fruitThe curtains would be helpful if they were thicker so at night the bright lights wouldn’t shine straight through to keep you awake in bedThe air conditioner and fan remotes need a new batteries.It was insanely frustrating and a little bit frightening to think there wasn’t going to be air-conditioningWe did use some beach mats that seemed insanely ultralight which blew all over the place and they didn’t wear very wellJust a few suggestionsWe did enjoy paradise for sure

Very nice and clean. All necessities were available. It was like home away from home and close to beach, shopping, bars, groceries and more. Pool was nice and warm. Host responded promptly to questions. Would like to go back one day.

Friendly staff at front desk, pleasant, responsive owner ( Cece) Took us one minute to identify the entry system is digital. Input Code and enjoy clean room.

This place is right in the middle of it all. If you don’t plan to go anywhere else on the island this location is perfect, you can walk to almost everything. Even the grocery supermarket is only 0.7 miles away if you feeling the need. The garden/pool view is peaceful and serine, you may even get a view of a mongoose or two.

The studio was nice and comfortable. Very convenient location close to Farmer’s market. Parking is available. A/C was very helpful in July. There were actually two small refrigerators. Great value for the price.

Our apartment ended up being just across the street from the wedding venue and for the free day we had there we were able to walk everywhere.

Make sure you know that there is not an elevator on property so if you’re not on the first floor it will be difficult with luggage. Also, during our stay, there was rarely someone at the front seat which makes getting help difficult. CeCe the property owner was amazing and very helpful. We just had to ask all our questions over messages due to the absent desk attendant.

Room was clean and well equipped… There was a phone number provided for communication so I used it and the host rudely said do not text me. Please use the communication app which I was having trouble with… Also, I was hoping for early check-in as nobody was in the room, but That took a while and the host did not seem accommodating. So that was the only real negative to the experience.

Parking in the area was very limited but we were able to check in early just to get a spot. Extremely close to restaurants and shops. Studio was clean and compact the only downside was no good location to plug in my CPAP. Minor, since I slept well without it. Would use again.

The condo was a beautiful location, loved the view of the property, very tropical. the Room itself is just a room to sleep in , most of the time we spent exploring the island. The host, however, is cheap. No coffee in the room . Vo5 for shampoo. She will charge you extra for the use of the space and items there . It’s best not to go to the beach and track sand back into the house and please don’t use her towels or other amenities in the room otherwise she will charge you extra! I cleaned up some spilled coffee with the kitchen towel she had there and she wants me to replace it instead of just washing it . Same with the bath towels. We used them , She wants us to replace them instead of just washing them. She said we flooded the patio 😂 and sent a ridiculous picture of ice melting that we dumped out a small cooler. I thought the ice would dry up pretty quickly seeing how it’s so hot there but now she needs a deep clean for that and sweeping up some sand charging $75. She’s absolutely ridiculous with her expectations. Definitely recommend the condo itself however avoid this room specifically because of the host .

Only complaint is the door to the apartment was very challenging to close. The top corner was warped from moisture causing having to slam the door making a lot of noise and then slam your shoulder in the door in order to secure from inside the apartment. Parking was limited when arriving in the evening, had to park off the busy highway.

Stayed at n Kona after my son’s wedding near Honokaa. This unit was within walking distance to many restaurants and bars in Kona. Very quiet at night with beautiful landscapes and a. Ice small pool

Owner was lovely and available within minutes for any questions. The studio was recently updated and it was clean and comfortable.

Checking in was uninformative. Getting into the unit was like having to half break down the door. Stood on a chair to turn on the inefficient air conditioner because remote wouldn’t work. Asked at check in location about wi/fi connection. I was told to message the owner as they know nothing about that. The entire place is old and shabby. I initially had to send out three different messages before I was even given the address to this place. I do not recommend.

I actually could have actually stayed longer but I was only there until my Ohana was ready for my three month stay. It was more than confortable

This was an exceptional location, beautifully landscaped. The room was nicely decorated the little kitchenette had everything we needed. Balcony was lovely every morning. We appreciated beach chairs, boogie board snorkel gear beach umbrella just made our stay so seamless. Plenty of parking nearby.

Horrible communication with property manager. Did not respond until an hour later after several texts and calls to owner and co owner. Booked a hotel down the road and answered after. Long day of traveling for my partner and I and was unable to get a refund as well

I chose this hotel because I wanted to live like I was in a condominium. The room was nicely appointed and the interior was lovely. Mornings spent on the terrace were pleasant, and there were parasols and snorkeling sets, so it was a very comfortable stay. I would definitely like to stay again if I have the chance.

We had a great time in this studio apartment, which was inside a centrally located resort in Kona. The host was very responsive. We would love to stay here again.

Great location. Had to contact owner for check-in instructions. Had to push hard to open and close front door. No block out blinds for people who are sensitive to light. 2 remotes to use TV. Would be helpful to have instructions on how to use. No kitchen sink plug, only a sink strainer, which seems to be common with condo rentals. Fridge needs to be defrosted. Had an induction cooktop and ice cube trays, which appear to be a bonus for kitchenette set-ups.

Very nice unit with a nice view of the pool. As other people has stated parking is challenging. But I always found a place in the lot or right next to the property on the street. The bed is comfortable and I slept well. Minor issue with some small ants in the bathroom.owner was very responsive. I would definitely stay here again.

Really beautiful setting with balcony overlooking the pool and lush tropical courtyard, the website photo doesn't so it justice. Just a 2 minute walk to the main ocean-front boulevard with restaurants and shops. Comfortable bed and everything was clean. The small kitchenette consisted of an induction hotplate and microwave, so you'll probably want to take advantage of the many nearby restaurants. The only downside was limited parking, we had to park across a very busy road. We would definitely stay here again!

This is the 2nd time we stayed here! Its a sweet spot that is conveniently located the room was clean andeasy to get into. My only complaint is is the parking situation. There’s not enough parking spots and the ones they have are very small. in the heart of Kona and close to everything.
