We absolutely loved our stay. This unit is super modern and updated. The kitchen is the best appointed of any rental unit I have ever stayed in. We were traveling with an infant, a preschooler, and four adults. The master bedroom is huge and between that and the enormous master bath, there was plenty of room for an inflatable bed for the preschooler and a pack 'n play and slumberpod for the baby.
Since we were traveling with a baby, we knew we would be spending a fair amount of time at the condo versus out at the beach, so we picked something that looked like it would be comfortable to hang out in and we were not disappointed. The white chairs in the living room are super comfortable and there is an unobstructed ocean view from every spot in the living room/kitchen.
It was very, very hot on our check-in day and we were surprised to arrive to find all the windows were closed up tight. The thermostat said it was 88 degrees indoors when we arrived. Since we were traveling with a baby, A/C was essential. It took about 4 hours to cool down, but then was reasonably effective for the duration of the stay (central A/C). There is an extra daily charge of $30 plus tax for A/C, which seems exorbitant, particularly given how much we were paying for the rental itself, but again, since we were traveling with a young baby, we didn't feel we had much of a choice given the temperature.
The bed frame in the master bedroom is really loud when getting in and out of bed and the mattress needs updating, but my in-laws said the twin beds in the other bedroom were very comfortable!
The view from the lanai and the living room is spectacular. There were some high surf days while we were there and we were close enough to the water that we could feel the spray from the waves while sitting on the lanai. You can see the boats gathering every night at sunset for the night manta ray snorkeling and we spotted some spinner dolphins in the bay a couple of times.
My older daughter loved playing with the pool and sand toys provided and had a blast every day at the Ocean Pool while me and my husband preferred the quiet pool when we got a child-free hour or two!
The front desk was very responsive to a couple of minor issues we had during our stay. We would gladly stay here again on our next visit to Kona!
