This place is only 2 miles from downtown Kona, which is perfect. It’s small but comfortable and it’s pretty new but still needs a little improvement.
The owners are very nice and respond within minutes, excellent communication.
The pictures don’t show it but the whole apartment shares one high ceiling (the bedroom and bathroom walls don’t go all the way up) and the doors are slatted. Which wasn’t a problem for the bedroom but it was for the bathroom because it lacked privacy big time! But we figured out a system called “balcony time” so the person who needed private bathroom time had the place to themselves while the other enjoy the ocean view from the balcony.
What was really nice is that the public transportation stop is only a 6 minute walk away, as well as well as Da Poke Shack (MUCH RECOMMENDED!). Shoreline access is also close by.
I’m sure it’s easy to change but the dinnerware set is not microwave safe and there are no microwave safe dishes to heat food in. As mentioned in other reviews, the walls are too thin and you can hear everything happening next door. Lucky for me there were people there only two or three times during my month long stay, because I could hear everything going on including someone clearing their throat, kids talking, the tv, etc. And because there is a door between the apartments with a gap at the bottom, you can smell cleaning chemicals or whatever they are cooking as well.
And the is new fridge but freezes all the food that’s against the back. But it was easy to work around.
