The location and value of this condo is AMAZING. I can truly say you cannot find a better spot in ALL of KONA.
The oceanfront lanai, 2 master suites, and access to the beach/tide pools is unmatched! Additional perks that were super helpful were the beach toys/chairs/snorkel sets/umbrellas, the pool, tons of beach towels, and the in unit washer and dryer! Parking was free, super easy, and seamless! The elevator and luggage carts definitely came in handy. The fridge is huge and fit all the week’s necessities plus the laundry room was giant to store dry goods. Not to mention the AC was EXCELLENT. This trip was extra muggy and we appreciated the AC so much when we got home after a long adventure.
Last but not least I felt like the condo was PERFECTLY located near everything-5 min from coffee, grocery stores, Kona town, restaurants, Marina, etc.
With that being said, I hate to even mention anything that went ‘wrong’ cause after all we were in Hawaii and very much enjoyed our stay but there were a few things I feel are important for future guests:
1. Cleanliness: When we arrived we did let the host know we didn’t feel the cleaning was adequate. There were fake eyelashes on the bathroom counter and orange hand prints on some walls. Later in our stay we did find two cockroaches but this is normal for Hawaii even in the nicest of placesand even if you take your trash out 2x a day. We also found a pot in the cupboard someone left a handful of hot dogs that had molded over time.
2. The two back rooms, the two twins and the front queen with no en-suite are very noisy, they face the walkway where other guests walk and there is a lot of street noise. If I knew this ahead of time, I may have reconsidered our stay because it was inconvenient for the couple staying in those rooms. To the point I should give them some money back for dealing with the noise.
We 100% loved our stay and had a wonderful time!! It’s difficult to find a 4 bedroom condo oceanfront so it’s a diamond find just a few rough edges to iron out.
Mahalo!
