The listing was pretty accurate to the pictures and descriptions. The condo was very spacious for our family (2 adults and one 7-year-old child). The complex itself was pretty quiet, and the neighborhood overall was quiet and felt safe, but also a short drive (or longer walk) to downtown Kailua-Kona.

We had one small issue with the password lock to access the pool area, but eventually realized we needed to pause a few seconds for the lock to beep and then open. (Before we figured it out however, I contacted Josh & Cynthia and they were quick to respond and said they would contact property management right away.) There are some complex neighborhood cats that loved to greet us whenever we came and went.

The AC unit was slightly noisy, but we were grateful to have the AC at all, and ceiling fans when needed too. We did see some small ants in the kitchen, but followed the directions about not leaving food or dirty dishes out, and they never became a huge problem.

Very convenient to have a free parking space at the complex, access to a decent (and not too cold) pool and hot tub, grills, and the ability to do laundry if needed. We ate most of our breakfast meals at the unit, and two dinners in, and found what we needed kitchen-wise. Some of the decor, bedding, and towels could be updated but everything was plentiful on that end.

We thought it was a bit odd that hand soap was provided for the restrooms but not body soap for the showers/bath. We just bought a small bar when we got groceries. There were a few other small household items/amenities that would have been helpful to have, but nothing that was super critical.

With a few tweaks and additions to some of the amenities I would have rated Noah and Cynthia's condo 5 stars instead of 4. Thank you Noah and Cynthia for hosting our family's warm Hawaii vacation in November!
