This place is a really beautiful, well designed spot in Kona. And the host's attention to detail was fantastic (chilled wine, personal welcome notes etc). Great amenities and appliances, everything inside was great.
Unfortunately, the unit is right above a really busy part of Ali'i Drive that seems to be popular with Harley Davidson biker types and hot rodders with amped up muffler pipes. The street noise coming into the unit pretty much all the time was intense and made me not want to spend too much time there, which was too bad because the place is so nice.
This unit would have been better placed in the back of the property where it is probably much more quiet.
Also Michael runs a kayak rental business and the kayaks are cleaned everyday with Lysol right outside the unit so the unpleasant smell of Lysol permeates the unit when this happens.
But, otherwise, the place is really beautiful and Michael and his team are great.
