Property is old . Air con doesn’t work, linen thread bare and towels have holes. Issues with stove top and had to call fire department has host couldn’t help. We were told not to use it until it had been fixed. Host didn’t fix and we had to move after only 2 days of our 11 day stay which we paid for. No refund was given and host not at all understanding or apologetic. I was there from Australia for Ironman World champs and had this on my first two days of preparing for the event. It totally affected my focus and prep and ultimately my performance.
Just a short walk to the beach. Grocery stores, cafes and restaurants in walking distance. Beds were super comfortable w ac in rooms. Exactly as advertised. Great water pressure in shower. Had beach chairs, boogie boards and even clear snorkel solution! Only challenge was the gas stove, dial did not control flame so it got a little stressful trying to find something to turn the flame off. I notified the owners and hopefully they will take care of it. Parking spot was directly infront of condo. Definitely would stay again! Mahalo!!!
Our stay was wonderful. The beds were comfortable and the a/c worked great. I can’t say how anything else was because we literally only slept at the condo. We were up early every morning and out exploring the island every day.
Condo needs an updated refresh. Conveniently located. Bed linnen had stains and hair.
The property was as advertised. The communication from the host about how to find, access the building and available amenities was excellent. The kitchen was well equipped and beach towels, chairs and umbrella were also available. Great location with easy access to grocery stores, restaurants and the beaches.
This condo is in an old association. This unit needs work on kitchen windows and woodwork, entry door, lanai screens and shades. Floor in lanai is buckled because of water entering. Kitchen louvered window doesn't close tight resulting in wet floor when I arrived. Update in bathroom is pretty nice.
The location is wonderful. However there were a few things that need to be fixed & updated for this amount of money. The water filter jug in the fridge was moldy around the whole top, gross. The corners of the bathroom, the base boards around the the condo & the window sills need to be cleaned better, striped & painted. This is an older condo & it shows. The window panes don’t seal out the heat at all. It’s hard to keep the living room & kitchen from being uncomfortably hot. But the a/c in the bedrooms was lovely. There is no drain plug in the bathroom sink & you can easily drop something in & it will be lost into the sink drain pipe & lost forever. The water line from the toilet to the bidet is very rusty & didn’t look clean. The table cloth needs to be replaced. It’s plastic, stained & torn in places. The plug in behind the bed in the little bedroom needs to be fixed. I had to pull the bed away from the wall to get the extension cord hooked up to the lamp & power strip to work. The plug in needs to be replaced as it’s loose & the cord doesn’t stay plugged in. The bottom drawer of the stove needs to be replace, as there is an open hole where the handle used to be, with insulation visible & exposed. The pool was wonderful. The towels for the beach were much appreciated. We went for a swim while doing our coin op laundry. The laundry is very close to this rental. The fridge was clean & we appreciated the ice cubes. I left 2 freezer packs. Pascal was helpful & communicative.
The hosts are conscientious and clearly communicate at every step, the location is wonderful as a home base for ranging all over the big island, the pool was a welcome way to close out each day, and we appreciated the oh-so-comfortable bedrooms. Just a great low-key find.
Very impressed with the location, walkable to all downtown in 20 minures or less.

> 20-minutes from airport
> Bed was comfortable
> Amazing shower pressure
Suggest repairing the bathroom floor tile, some of the grout was coming out and maybe a loose tile or two. Maybe add a lamp right at the front door so you can turn it on when you walk in at night.
Would book again!
A short walk to KTA, shops, restaurants and other locations. A short walk to the ocean front in the heart of Kailua-Kona. Close to several historic sites too.

Very cozy
This was a really nice place to land after getting in from the airport. After a long day of travel on a plane it was really nice to have a place so close to the airport. It was easy to find, had its own parking spot and very close to a lot of stores and restaurants. There check in and check out process was very easy.
This place was really nice and right in the beginning of town. We had a celebration of life at Hale Halawai which was walking distance from the unit. This place was cute, so perfect. I hope I am able to rent this unit again in the near future. Mahalo nui!!
Nice condo, will stay again if we have the opportunity
Congratulations with Justin as he was Acura and prompt
We enjoyed staying at this property and Justin was really nice. It was clean and in a convenient area. The only thing is the front door wouldn't shut and close easily. Maybe it needs to be trimmed at the bottom.
Host was very good at communicating, checked on us several times. Property is in great condition, clean and well maintained. We will be coming back for sure!
Direct access to pool and laundry. Location is excellent
Great location, close walking distance to everything!
