We booked Dawns place for the size, location and view, and we weren’t disappointed. Thank you Dawn! The place was very clean, my baby could crawl around inside and not have a speak of dirt on her knees, or bum. The decor and style is very typical Hawaii, I love it personally. The view and sunsets from her Lanai couldn’t be beat. The only very small inconsistency was the AC is only in a wall unit in one bedroom, but the well placed fans keep the air blowing and so do the trade winds if you have the front screen door locked and the patio open. We found the condo well stocked in the bathrooms and kitchen, boogie boards, beach bag, chairs, and toys to use. The tvs with streaming services provide entertainment, my husband was quite thrilled he could sign in to watch the football games.
The actual apartment complex has a lot of rules. Which can be overwhelming, but everything is written out and very clear. There was a party who checked in the middle of our trip and they were not following the rules and they were bothersome, so the rules make sense.
It’s a short drive to downtown Kona and Alii drive. Perhaps is walkable for more active people, we had small kids and older adults so we didn’t attempt.
Great location to adventure from. Big island has so much too see, always a favorite vacay of ours. My two year old daughter didn’t want to leave ‘our new house’. Hopefully we will be back.
