For the most part we enjoyed our stay at the condo. Pros: Lovely garden areas and nice pool to relax by. We enjoyed eating our meals on the lanai and appreciated the BBQ area since we were planning to grill a couple nights. The key reasons we chose this place was for the King size bed, which was quite comfortable, and the full-size kitchen. The condo is also in an ideal location close to shops and restaurants. Beaches were close by but we did have to drive. Note that the condo is right off the water but no walk-on beach (there’s a nice spot by the BBQ area where you can sit and watch the sunset over the ocean).
Cons: The sink backed up every time we used it and filled with dirty water which made it hard to wash dishes not to mention the nasty factor. This was really inconvenient since we cooked most of our meals while in Kona. Host was quite responsive and had a plumber come in, but it was on the last day when we were leaving. (Evidently there has been previous plumbing problems with several of these condos especially on the ground level.) Other issues were ants on the bathroom counter (pest control was coming in after we left) and the AC units were somewhat noisy, but tolerable.
