The location was perfect, it was very central to most everything we wanted to do such as kayaking/snorkeling Captain cook’s monument, shopping/eating in downtown Kailua-Kona, and exploring the whole west side of the island. The condo itself was cozy and accommodating (the beach gear was great!) but the 3 star review is because it needs a deep clean.
The main surfaces such as countertops, flooring, and bedding were clean, but there is a noticeable layer of dirt/dust/grime lining the baseboards of the condo, the shower door, and other spots. Some of the silverware in the cabinet was also dirty, and the walls are paper thin so any noise by the neighbors was very easily heard.
It’s a perfect place to just sleep if most of your time will be spent out exploring.
