The view from the apartment was lovely, the pool and hot tub and BBQs at the complex were nice to have and everyone in the complex was super friendly and very respectful of quiet hours. It was a peaceful, relaxing place overall. It’s about a mile walk into downtown Kona and there’s a good coffee shop right in the parking lot which was nice!
A few things we wish we had known when booking were that there isn’t actually beach access here or all that close to walk to and the apartment complex is on a very busy, heavily trafficked road so getting in and out was often a bit of a pain with the traffic. They have beach chairs but they’re broken. The kitchen being stocked with necessities as listed seems dependent on what others leave behind so while there was condiments in the fridge which was nice, there was no cooking oil, stuff like that. Not trying to be overly picky, these are just things we would have liked to know before we booked.
