Unit was supplied with all that you could need for a stay, and convenient location as well. Comfortable beds and the AC was appreciated to keep cool as the kona heat can be high. Loved that the BBQ grills were so close to unit and the beach is just across the street! Will definitely be staying at this unit again in the future. Vacasa team at the office and over the phone was helpful and friendly, much appreciated!!
Short visit on the Big island
The cost was great it was right across the street from the beach and pool with hot tub not very far from kona town had the best time there will definitely stay again neighbors where very nice and hospitable

Great location, excellent pool and hot tub. Already booked another stay.
Convenient, with parking, basic but comfortable. Street noise can be an issue…
I love the building lite up at night!
Close to downtown Kona, trolley access and the beachfront. Highly recommend for a comfortable stay!
Pros:
The condo is comfortable and homey.
It has a well-stocked and very functional kitchen.
Convenient location away from the busyness of downtown.
On shuttle bus line - steps away from bus stop in either direction.
Adequate off street free parking.
Safe – although someone took the propane tank from the grill. Don’t leave any valuables in car.
Checking into the condo is very easy regardless of arrival time. Vacasa communicated the code very well.
Nice pool and hot tub in building across the street.
Modern clothes washing machine and dryer.
New and functional air-conditioner
Cons:
Noise from Alii Drive – this was my biggest disappointment. I was unprepared for the traffic noise. It did quiet down later in the evening. The bedroom is in the rear of the condo which provides quiet sleeping.
Broken sliding door blinds – this doesn’t reflect well on condo owner or Vacasa.
No ice maker – tubing was in refrigerator and not hooked up.
Rather uncomfortable bed.
The condo is slightly rough around the edges, but very livable.
Limited ocean view. It’s possible to see the ocean through the garage of the main building.
The living room ceiling fan is slightly dysfunctional with a mind of its own. The light would turn on for no apparent reason.
No dish washer. Be prepared to get a lot of practice washing dishes.
Bottom line:
It appears the pros of this property outweighed the cons. However, this was first trip to Kona, Hawaii. Knowing what I know now I would be more careful and search for a quieter location. I also feel as though the rental price of this property is high considering the negative points I listed.
