Very relaxing and easy check in …wood furnishings could use a little refurbishing..
Fantastic view
We loved leaving the sliders open and listening to the waves all night - the perfect white-noise! The sliding “walls” that divide the living room from the bedroom gave lots of privacy and sound protection at night. Shower and kitchen counters are newly updated, and the owner has provided many appliances we didn’t expect (waffle iron, rice cooker, tea kettle…). The view and ambience made it a special place to stay!
Will definitely come again
Excellent view, though somewhat obstructed by the vertical blinds. Excellent lanai—huge and well maintained. I had maintenance come in to oil the screen door—v helpful. Roach and ants the morning I woke up and we didn’t cook or eat, or have food in the house yet. Roach in the bathroom, even though no wet towels on the floor and I washed the bath mat each day. There’s no ventilation in the bathroom, so that kind of makes sense. Most unit have a window in the back of the unit but not this one.
There is a lot of wear and tear in the unit, made me somewhat uncomfortable—I have higher standards at this junction in my life.
The bed was super comfortable. Supplied four beach towels which was great. Beach chairs, on their last leg, but I used one of them. No umbrella.
Vacasa was responsive to my requests for help, though don’t rely on texts, call them or go to the front office.
Would be nice if fans could spin at a higher speeds—maybe my error. I used the floor fans at night as well.
Loved the waves, the view, the location!
This unit is priced a little less than others—maybe it’s bc of its condition, I just thought it was bc of the size. Pick up salt and pepper, and cooking oil at the store when buying food. They supplied paper towels and dish soap, as expected. Glad we went, but I would choose a different unit next time. Last bonus—3rd floor unit gives a great view.
Traveling with my teenage daughter, the space was large enough for us.
Condo was great. Whale watching from the lanai, sunsets while eating supper were fantastic.
Great spot to stay in Kona.
We had a great time and would stay again BUT a couple things would make it nicer. The beds need updated. The queen bed is not comfortable and the unattached headboard bumps against the wall every time you turn over. The couch bed is horrible. Takes two people to open and shut the sliding doors.
The view is spectacular.
Do not believe the photos of condo interiors.
The everything in the condo is very old. Not stock with necessary utinsels. No exhaust fan in the bathroom. The exhaust fan in the kitchen blows back inside and dirty filthy with grease. Patio sliding doors are corroded and very hard to open. Broken down beach chairs. Kitchen dishes, utensils, furnitures are about 40 years old. Lanai furnitures are rotted. Loose railing section a safety hazard.
Rusted toilet paper holder. No icemaker, Dirty kitchen cabinet interiors. Kitchen faucet hard to shut off. Non guest are parked in the parking areas. Vagrants are roaming in the parking garage at night. If this unit is upgraded it can generate more revenues and happy renters. For the last 20 years we rent vacation condo every year in Hawaii this is the most disgusting condo we ever stayed. I got sick when got home, I contribute it to meldew in the condo.
This property is right on the water with designated parking and a small public beach within walking distance. Our room had a lanai that faced the ocean for beautiful sunsets and relaxation. It is a small distance from the town center and quiet with much less traffic and congestion.
The location is the best, right on the ocean with nice views. The check in was very easy, however, can only give 3 stars for a couple main reasons. The summer in Kona is hot and the unit does not have AC. Can't stay indoor during day time. You have to open balcony door at night and turn on fans to be able to sleep. The second reason is, the unit is a little dated. It needs some TLC.
