The location of this condo is quite nice. Although not in the heart of Kihe you can walk the beach and to the far left is a farmers market stand and ABC store. Sounds of the waves is music to one’s ear. Last it’s about 15 min to airport and 20-30 min to upcountry. I really liked the location.
Entry is by a key pad on door. Walking in we felt that the photos represented a nicer, updated place. We stayed at two and thought this was going to be nicer and unfortunately it was older than represented. I wouldn’t have an issue if we knew what we were getting into…just felt like we were tricked in a way.
As others have mentioned the mattress on the couch was horrible. We preferred to stay on that bc we wanted to hear the ocean and pushed through it. The couch also looked pretty gross so we covered the whole thing with extra sheets. I have no issues with these beds as the other location we stayed at the mattress was quite comfortable.
The kitchen was nicely updated and they provided lots of towels for shower/pool. The shower is a great size as well and has a shower head that can be removed.
The bedroom also felt really old as bedding looked like it was from 70s…it’s something small, but again the photos show an slightly updated bedding.
Only one beach chair was provided and older not sure if it was in good use or not as we would have needed more than one. The chairs on deck are plastic so you stick to them. The doors are also pretty heavy - my mom had a little bit of a hard time opening and closing.
They did have a nice added touch of a welcome back with snacks which was quite nice.
Another nice add is that they provided shopping carts under the stairs across from elevator in case you need help bringing things up. They also have a loading area.
Overall it was a great spot, I just think they should be a little more honest. When going to Hawaii I don’t necessarily expect brand new..but when we walked in my mom and I both were a little let down.
Overall it was still a nice stay despite the Issues. It could come down to overall preference but wanted to give you full view.
Oh last item - AC is triggered to turn off if sliding door is open. Wasn’t an issue, but was so confused as it was mentioned in the book. Cools down really quick.
