Dani and Dave's condo is a lovely gem and a perfect stay for a couple or small family. Located on the top floor of the building, the balcony opens up to stunning views of the roaring ocean and beautiful nightly sunsets. You can't find a better view or unit for the price; it's truly a steal.
The home description and pictures are completely accurate so I won't detail that. What you read is 100% what you get. A few highlights for us during our weekly-long stay:
1) The unit is SO clean. Top to bottom, the bathrooms, the kitchen. I've not stayed in a more clean Airbnb.
2) Dani's aloha spirit and communication. She checked in regularly to make sure everything was okay before, during, and after our stay. As they're local, she even offered to pick us up from the airport or help drive us to any local errands.
3) The wifi is blazing fast, averaging 250mbps when I did internet speed tests. Unfortunately, I was working remotely in paradise. When we booked, I thought the unit only had the general wifi for the entire complex so I was ecstatic to learn that they have a private router with superior internet for my never-ending Zoom calls.
4) The home is stocked with EVERY SINGLE THING you may need. Beach equipment, towels, bathroom toiletries, kitchen supplies, cleaning/home supplies (like detergent, etc). Seriously, you do not need to pack a thing except your bathing suits.
A couple of notes about the neighborhood:
- You're a few (driving) minutes south of the main touristy strip. We loved it because we had close access to everything we needed but it wasn't busy or noisy at the complex.
- Across the street, there is a HI Bike station. You can rent bikes for 30 mins or pay for a monthly pass. There are a few bike docking stations across Kona and I found this to be an excellent mode of transportation in the local area.
Thank you, Dani and Dave, for a lovely stay. We can't wait to return!
