Everything went well and the place was nicer than I hoped for; I don't think a better location in Kailua Kona exists. The condo building itself is nothing special and was a little off putting at arrival, but the actual unit is very nice, clean and upscale. It's becusse the unit is so nice that I was surprised that the building itself didn't exhibit such a high end and clean feel. If you arrive with that expectation you won't be disappointed in the least.

There was always a decent to strong breeze but you can certainly feel the heat during the day. Hawaii might not be the best place for me in general :) but I wish the unit had AC. If your heat sensitive you might want to limit your search to places with AC.
