Pros
Beautiful oceanfront views, we fell asleep to sound of waves.
Convenient location, easy walk to Kailua Village shops/food/beach. Within a short walking distance was a lagoon with lounge chairs & palapas in the sand.
Well-appointed kitchen w/all needed appliances/dishes.
Closets had extra sheets/towels & beach wares.
Complex off main road & quiet with no street noise.
Cons
We were informed 4 days before check-in that central AC to complex had stopped working but a portable AC was installed in bedroom. Unfortunately, it was loud; we only ran it briefly before sleeping. Rest of unit stayed warm despite ceiling fans & open doors. Bathroom was very uncomfortable due to lack of AC & no windows/exhaust fan to reduce heat/humidity.
Lanai chair cushions very thin making chairs uncomfortable & not allowing us to enjoy lanai use for long.
Anything affected by humidity & salt lacked maintenance. E.g, rust present on many metal surfaces (door frames, ceiling fans, coffee maker, lanai upper framework).
Cleaning service needs to be reevaluated, e.g. unclean pans had to be washed before 1st use, bathroom’s HVAC vent/air filter had a lot of dust, shower corners looked moldy.
Pest service should be reevaluated. Moments after checking in we saw a cockroach in the kitchen. After seeing this 1st cockroach we took precautions not to leave out food/dirty dishes. Cockroach problem still persisted & we had to kill them daily during the week.

Cozy condo with great view of the ocean and sunsets, close walking to all the shops and restaurants in Kailua. Very nice people to work with. Cant wait to stay again!

It was a very enjoyable stay. It is a reasonable walk down to downtown Kona with a host of restaurants and shopping. Nice pool and incredible view of the ocean. At times, the roar of the waves breaking on the rocks was deafening but we loved it. Management communicated fine via text messages. Apartment was neat and clean, Kitchen was nice and everything we needed was there. Would have been nice if they had provided laundry soap for the pay washer/dryer at the end of the hall but no big deal. We loved sitting on the deck looking out at the ocean.

We loved the property and had a wonderful time. The only thing I would reccomend is having black out drapes in the bedroom. 5 stars.

I’d give the view and location 5 stars, the unit itself 3 stars.
We left the windows open the whole time to hear the waves crashing and feel the ocean breeze. ( no need for AC but also the main AC was broken in the whole place so 2 portable ones were provided but never used).
It looks as if the kitchen has had some remodeling started but the rest of the place needs updating. The curtains, rugs, furniture,bed, windows and screen doors all need to be replaced. The bathroom needs remodeling. All old.
To be fair, if all of this was done we would be paying twice as much.
If you overlook the look and feel
of old 70’s and focus on the view, price and location it was nice.
We loved sitting in the balcony and watching the waves, surfers and set sets. All fabulous.
