This condo complex took our breath away. Our room over looked a spectacular view of Kona’s landscape from the vast lanai.
We found out after, that we were this locations’ first guests. It was a show stopper. There is an elevator to help get things upstairs. We ordered in room massages from Tiare and it was handy to get the tables up.
Guest parking if you are on the lanai you will spot looking to the right. The neighbors are friendly. Quiet time at 9pm is hard fast rule at the complex outside.
The hot tub is like 104 F. Didn’t check out the gym. Instead our hosts helped us rent bicycles to bop around the condo grounds. We walked right over to queens/ kings shopping and picked up the bikes. Again that elevator was handy we fit one bike at a time and parked them in the room’s foyer.
Anything we seemed to need the room had. There was a toaster, wine glasses, plastic cups for drinking water at the pool. The photos make it look very “hotel-esque” it isn’t, there is lots more charm in person.
There is an eastern vibe to the place. Many Chinese zodiac influences like gold monkeys on the chair, a red rooster on the paper towel rack, a stunning blue and vine China vase. One side table had a red wooden box that stole my heart.
The toiletries were vacasa. Found a slightly better soaps in the drawer by a company that started with a K. koala maybe?
Our host left us some snacks too which saved us one night. Things on the island shut down early and we missed dinner. The snacks stood no chance. Nom nom
We fell for the house and called her our Pele Place. You should stay here. I’m glad we ended up needing lodging last minute this was a Treat.
If you are going through the tenting locals deal with regularly, like my original lodging host, I highly recommend escaping to this condo for the week. My bestie didn’t mind that she had been kicked out by her landlord short notice for five days. We got this gorgeous room! She taught virtual Pilates classes from the living room. The place was more spacious than the pano shots appear.
Also the etched shower glass door was lovely. The windows in the shower have a fancy etched decal as well. About midday you will find rainbows on the master bathroom walls coming from that window.
My friend slept on the big couch said it was better than her bed at home. The second small bathroom was great, my friend is somewhat potty shy. I was glad the fart spray our host left her was nice smelling and not overpowering.
Will miss the room. Thanks for everything Paul you were super nice through booking and sweet about our questions during our stay.
