Pros:
[+] Really great value for staying near Kona on the Big Island! Especially if you stay with a larger group
[+] The apartment is actually quite spacious for a 1 bedroom since we more or less comfortably fit 5 people
[+] The location is a 15 min drive from all the Kona shops and has a lot of amenities (pools, fitness centers, courts for sports, front desk)
[+] Shawn is very responsive to messages
[+] The bathroom had 2 sinks, which helped with getting ready in the morning
[+] The in-unit washer/dryer was convenient
[+] The patio was very spacious
[+] Parking was readily available in front of the unit
Cons:
[-] The unit was not the cleanest. The carpet in the bedroom, living room and bathroom (yes the bathroom was carpeted) all had discolored spots
[-] The tap water did not taste great, even after going through a Brita filter
[-] The queen sleeper sofa was very uncomfortable and we decided it was not fit for sleeping. There were also chips in the sofa crevices, which made it even more undesirable to sleep on
[-] We had to buy extra toilet paper, trash bags, comforters, air bed, and soap since the unit was not adequately stocked for our 9 night stay
[-] The WiFi was not good (max 5 Mbps), and the ResortNet2 network could only support max 4 devices
[-] The TV came with Spectrum cable, and could not Cast or AirPlay anything
[-] The dishwasher smelled funky and we decided not to use it
[-] The kitchen sink was designed very inconveniently and was difficult to use for washing pans and dishes
[-] If you want to cook food, I would not recommend using this kitchen to do so due to lack of quality kitchenware
[-] The apartment in general looked and felt like it hadn't been remodeled for decades
[-] We encountered 5 cockroaches during our stay
