This condo is amazing! The photos truly don't do it justice... and they look great. It was so nice and clean and everything looks brand new. The balcony was our favorite part! We left the doors open the whole time and the balcony area became an extension of our living space. We had four adults in the unit for over a week and it never felt crowded.
The condo was well stocked with plenty of linens & bath towels, paper products, a brand new, fully-loaded spice rack, plenty of pots and pans, dishes and utensils. Plus a great selection of small appliances like a toaster, hand mixer, crockpot, etc. The washer and dryer were so helpful and the detergent and softener sheets were provided, as well. Honestly, we didn't need anything other than our own groceries!
One thing to note... the ocean is loud in the Master BR when the glass slider is open. We loved it but the waves are crashing literally just feet from the building's edge right below the balcony so you feel like you are sleeping right on the beach. The second bedroom, on the back-side, also has a good bit of noise coming from people walking by on the way to their rooms, the pool area and traffic on the street. It was not unbearable but since you need to leave all the windows open for the breeze, you can't really block out the noise in that room. That said, we couldn't really hear the traffic sounds at all while in the rest of the unit. Probably because the ocean sounds drowned it out!
If we have a chance to visit the Big Island again, I can assure you we will stay here again! After sitting on the balcony the first morning, my husband said he thought we needed to go ahead and book a standing reservation for years to come! ;-)
Holly was amazing to work with. She answered all my questions before our arrival and was extremely accomodating and available which made the whole process very pleasant. She lives on the island and is readily available if needed. You don't always have that with condo rentals.
Book it! You will not regret it.
