Great location for a 2-night stay in Kona. Check-in was easy at the front desk (like a hotel). Parking can be tricky as its first come first serve, so I did have to park on the street a couple of times. Easy walking to many stores and restaurants. Enjoyed the jacuzzi after a day snorkeling and exploring the local beaches by car. I found the bed to be a bit unforgiving and the pillows to lack support, though that is a personal preference. The water pressure was good and the supply of both bathroom and beach towel was appreciated. There were little itty bitty ants near the one sink (to be used for bathroom and kitchen needs) though there was never any food out and they were never in packs (get rid of one; look again later and there is another one). And I did see one creepy little bug in the silverware drawer though I had read that the Big Island does have a problem with them, so not just an issue for the Islander Inn. For the location and overall enjoyment of the apartment, I would recommend a stay at this apartment.
