This studio is pretty much as described, but feels a bit smaller. It is clean and all appliances and equipment work fine. Don Wood is very accommodating in answering questions by phone or email, even though he does not live on site. The view on one side is of the parking lot of this multi-building 3-story vacation resort, and the other (porch) side is of a foliage shaded walkway that runs along the building. The location is perfect for walking to the shops and restaurants that line Ali'i Road along the waterfront nearby - which is where everyone wants to be in Kailua-Kona! Some problems with the unit are: the very small refrigerator and kitchen area (off the bath!), and the noisy venting fan in the bathroom that will force you to close the bathroom door whenever you use it. That fan only comes on with the kitchenette/bath light, so it needs to be on often, unfortunately. Another noisemaker is the main sitting room/bedroom air conditioner, which is so loud that the TV must be turned up even louder to over come it. We liked that Don put beach chairs, towels, and snorkel gear in the unit for guest use - they came in quite handy! Only stairs to get up to this third floor studio. The parking is off street but is limited. They told us at the front desk that there aren't nearly enough spaces for the no. of units in the Kona Islander Inn, so you may have to look elsewhere for parking, depending on what time of day you try to park (later at night would be the worst, we were told.) Bed was very comfortable for two.
