Overall, our experience was pretty good, with the excellent location -- literally on the coast with two balconies that open up to the waves crashing against the shore and close proximity to pretty much everything you might want or need in the Kona area -- overshadowing the lesser attributes. Parking is challenging with three cars trying to negotiate a very cramped parking area, so I would recommend renting a compact car, or just planning to park across the street. The water pressure is very low -- possibly common for the area, but was made more noticeable by the leaking shower head in the master bath. The unit was advertised as having a king-sized bed when in fact the master bed is a queen. Not the end of the world, but very frustrating if like me, bed size is a key determining factor in selecting where you might stay. The building is somewhat run down compared to others in the same area, however the unit itself is perfectly nice, with all the furnishings and amenities you would hope to have.
