Location is perfect! Cute little condo with some extra beach stuff which was great! The only thing missing was body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, which if I had known, it wouldn’t have been that big of deal.

Great location! Right off the beach within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Check in was rough, the code didn’t work and we could not reach the owner but the onsite property management was helpful and the owners checked in as soon as they got my message about check in. The AC was a blessing and the kitchenette was sufficient with its hot plate and toaster.

Place was not cleaned before we arrived due to a miscommunication between the property owner and his cleaning person. Was taken care of but it took a decent amount of trying to get a hold of anyone to get the issue resolved. Room itself was good and everything worked, except for the TV. Overall, it's a good spot as long as you don't really plan on doing much at the place you are staying besides eating breakfast and sleeping. Great location to walk to a ton of restaurants in Kona.

Stayed at property before so know area. This unit door lock would not work, so after messing around with guest services for 25 mins and getting backup key, air conditioning was welcome. Room poorly cleaned. Parking was problematic, not enough spaces. Came back from dinner at 8 pm ended up with truck in pay parking a block away for $40 . No other space available.

Adequate. I like the location of this complex, this particular unit is not the best I've stayed in. It's got everything it says, the photo isn't at all like the actual unit. Some confusion over codes & entry, we made it work. Could use some basic maintenance, fix hinges, that sort of thing. Kinda dark, but as a base for activities you're not spending a lot of time inside. That said, I'd stay there again. I will say about some of these short term vacation rentals - I don't mind taking the trash out when I leave, that's a necessity with bugs in this climate, but I really don't like having to strip sheets. I go on vacation to avoid doing housework.

The location is very nice and within walking distance to many places. The room overall is all right, however the bed was lacking in comfort but not in hard springs. Also it would have been nice to have a remote for the a/c considering it is almost at the top of the ceiling. Parking is limited as well, but manageable. Overall if we could have gotten a decent sleep it would have been much better.

The location is incredibly central and fantastic. The back of the property is right on Ali'i. The rest of it - pretty bad. The sheets were dirty, mattress had stains. One of the "blankets" was an opened up sleeping bag. The under sink cabinet had roach traps (ok, I get it), but one would think they would clean it out in between guests...you can imagine. There were not enough beach towels to accommodate the capacity advertised. The TV did not work, took a while to troubleshoot (with unsightly cables all over the desk). The dish soap left was an open bottle, diluted with (I assume) water, no hand soap at all. The sponge was evidently used and left right near aforementioned roach trap. The bathroom and "kitchen" are a common space, with ants everywhere. It was hard to put any items down on the counters because of this. Upon arrival, we went to turn on the AC, only to discover that it was so disgustingly filthly in there, we didn't want to breathe in that air. This was the worst STR we have ever stayed at. I sincerely hope that this company improves for the sake of the people.

Our stay was fine..... but no sheets were provided for the pull out bed and multiple requests were made. We were told they would arrive on Saturday. Never happened. Very disappointing

8/10

Overall, the location was nice for us as we had great access to the farmer's market, shops and plenty of places to eat within walking distance. Check in was ok - front desk was less than welcoming and parking is a slight disaster. If you are looking for a place with an actual parking spot, this isn't it. Otherwise the place worked for what we needed. We could have used a couple actual kitchen towels - had to use bathroom hand towels - and a bath mat as the shower door catches water and when you open the door, water gets all over the floor. We didn't use the pool or anything so I can't comment on that but it looked like a nice place to sit.
