We had a good time staying in this condo. It was very clean on arrival and the lock box used for check in worked really well. The flowers and fresh fruits bowl was a nice touch. The view is ideal being right ocean front. Great beach just a few feet away makes it very convenient to go for a quick dip. Another nice snorkeling spot very close by. The condo is on the smaller side with a murphy bed instead of a separate bedroom but does not feel crowded. The bathroom is a nice size. The bed is surprisingly quite comfortable being a retractable one. You sure do hear the waves! for us some nights it got even too much where it would be hard to sleep even from it but closing the patio doors partially to still keep some air circulating helped with that.
Alice the owner called to make sure everything was all right the morning after we arrived and before we left which was a nice touch. She offered to have us stay later if we needed to when called on our check out date since they had nobody else coming in that day which was nice although with our plane to catch in the early afternoon it was not an option for us.
We booked private yoga sessions in the park next door which was fun. Alli road where the condo is was busy traffic wise for our morning jogs/bike rides but still enjoyable.
This condo might not be perfect in the sense that there is no elevator and on 3rd floor ( only an issue for moving in and out with heavy suitcases, otherwise no big deal on every day basis) and no air conditioning and it does get very hot in Kona ( the fans in place do help to a certain extent) but it does make up for these minor things in convenience meaning the location is great and lots of handy things you need at the beach being offered ( chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, etc) as well as being very reasonably priced. Washer and dryer on site easy to use and convenient for longer trips. The kitchen being partially stocked with spices, sauces, etc. was also very appreciated.
The dial up internet offered in the condo would not work for our Macs
they did have WIfi at the pool
We will consider it again for future stays and do recommend it!
