It was a perfect condo. The view was incredible, host prompt with communication, condo clean and well stocked, in a great location to walk into Kailua-Kona.
The unit was amazing! It had the perfect view for relaxation. It was well supplied with the essentials: linens, towels, beach towels, even kitchen necessities such as spices (not just salt and pepper like the others). There were a variety of pots and pans to use and other kitchen utensils too. I appreciate the welcome snacks but would have been great if there were also at least welcome bottles of water.Just a little side comment: there was not enough spoons and forks though. Also need to change the toilet paper holder. Because of the one end open design the whole toilet paper falls off frequently. And the whole toilet paper holder rotates too so the more the roll keeps rolling off.I used the common laundry located on our floor the 4th. I put 4 quarters to get Tide soap but nothing came out. Either the thing was empty or broken. Maintenance team should check that often and put a sign so no money (like mine) gets wasted.Same unfortunate incident happened when I used the dryer. No sign was put on saying it was broken. It just ate my coins as well.If there’s a way they can upgrade the washer dryers to using credit cards that would be great. Or better yet install inside the unit itself.Other than those minor stuff everything was great! I highly recommend this condo. No regrets at all.
Outstanding location and a great pool. Mahalo and Aloha

I was prepared for the dated and worn look of the condo, and the photos were accurate. However, i wasnt prepared for the musty, mildewy smell, and the cockroaches. Unfortunatly that put a damper on our impression of the property. The bathroom, and the kitchen needed a good wipe down, the microwave was disgusting. The good- the location is awesome. The patio is fantastic and we spent a lot fo time out there, its gorgeous. Very central, can walk anywere, quite at night, just the crashing of the waves.... I did text the property about the smell and the cockroaches, however nobody replied.
No doubt about it, this is a room with a view. The condo was nice but could be so great with some upgrades. We really enjoyed our stay there and knew if we needed anything we could always get in touch with someone.
It is a nice place to stay - the location is great, on the water. Unit could have been a bit cleaner.. Comfortable furniture and a great bed. Not fancy but very close to downtown Kona
The view from the deck/lanai is everything they tell you it is. It is a lovely view and you are right on top of the ocean. Felt like you were in an aquarium with all of the different colored fish swimming under us. It was great. You are a very short walk to several dining options and the primary shopping/pier area of Kona.
With that said, like most reviews have indicated, the property is dated and the lack of central air was annoying. The portable A/C did keep the bedroom cool, but maybe not in a nice healthy way. The rest of the unit was very warm. On some days, the deck area caught a really nice breeze and was cool in morning/evening. We noticed some units are remodeled. This one could really be special if the owners put in some new flooring, shower, doors. I was a little miffed that they supplied only 2 rolls of TP for a week long stay. We made it, barely. Just an odd thing to try and short renters on given that isn't something i'd normally plan on shopping for during vacation.
The mgmt. company did do a really nice job of communicating with us and felt professional. A great view and a great city location.
This is not the first time we've stayed in this beautiful unit. I booked this trip for my Parents and they just loved it. The view is spectacular and the location of the complex is just perfect. 100% recommend.
The overall look of the unit is clearly dated and needs a pretty big refresh - but that’s only cosmetic stuff. The important stuff, like cleanliness and how well things work, is just fine. The view is great, the parking is easy, the pool is nice; plus it’s an easy walk to town. Glad we stayed here.
