I will start this review by saying that we visit Kona regularly - at least twice a year for the past 8-9 years or so, and we generally stay for a while (a month or more). We stayed in this unit for a couple of months. I'll start with the positives- the location is amazing! It's great to be right in the midst of downtown Kailua-Kona, walking distance to restaurants, shops, beaches, and the pier. The kitchen is also well stocked with dishes, cooking items, utensils, etc. The bed is comfortable, and there is closet space with extra hangers. Now the negatives- the location is LOUD. This is no fault of the owners, but it should be noted for prospective renters. The traffic noise off of Ali'i Drive can be deafening (even with the doors closed)- when big trucks or loud motorcycles go by, you can't even have a conversation. This was difficult as we were trying to work remotely and often on Zoom calls. Also, the unit's on this property have windows that don't entirely close in the bedrooms, so you hear lots of noise from that direction, too, including from the nearby basketball courts where lots of folks gather for games. Fun noise, but noise none the less, which often made it difficult to sleep/rest. Secondly, this unit was really filthy. The cleaners were just leaving when we arrived, so I know they "cleaned". However, we had to clean cobwebs from the walls, dust bunnies from the corners, and hair from the bathtub. I was really surprised as I expected more attention would be paid to cleaning given the pandemic. The floor is pretty gross- it's a textured tile floor with what looks like years' worth of scum built up. I bought cleaning products and tried to clean it, but it is in serious need of a real steam clean. Ultimately, we just wore shoes all of the time inside because the floors were so dirty our feet would be black after an hour. And lastly, there are bugs and termites. We were constantly cleaning up termite droppings from the floor and kitchen countertops. It might be easy to dismiss the bugs as part of island life, but I've spent lots of time in Kona and have stayed at many different condo buildings in this price range (and cheaper!), and bugs are NOT typical. In short, this place could be lovely and really needs some attention - specifically in terms of cleaning and pest control - before it should be rented again.
