My husband and I stayed at Bob’s condo in September 2021 for our postponed honeymoon/1st wedding anniversary vacation. We checked into the condo in the evening and were immediately very comfortable and pleased. The condo was updated, spacious, nice, updated fridge, dishwasher, & kitchen (fully stocked with cooking tools, ziploc bags, dish detergent, etc.) The bed was very comfortable (you never know when staying at someone else’s property), and the absolute best part (other than the spacious lanai and the glorious A/C) was that my husband and I were able to have our own separate bathrooms to use. That’s the key to a happy marriage right there, folks!
The showers were stocked with shampoo and body wash, great water pressure, & plenty of towels. There was a large TV with cable in the living space, and the washer & dryer were a complete godsend as we were in swimsuits and beach coverups all week. Fresh clean clothes on vacation is key! The lanai/balcony is spacious with ample seating, screen doors, cute bistro lights, and a remarkable view of the lush Kona landscape, view of the ocean, and maybe even a rainbow or two if you’re lucky like we were! We ran out of time to visit the pool so I can’t comment on that. Maybe next time!
The condo was less than a one block stroll to Magic Sands beach and several awesome happy hour tiki bars and cocktail lounges. Watch the sunset at White Sands with the locals and then pop over to one of the lounges for a drink or two! We were able to get a great feel of the town of Kona while staying at Bob’s condo.
We also were able to text Bob’s daughter a couple times throughout our visit to have a few minor questions answered. She was friendly, prompt in her replies, helpful, and accommodating. We felt very safe and comfortable with the location of the condo complex. There was a lock on the front screen/storm door and a keypad entry on the front door to enter and lockup upon exiting, and a sturdy up-to-date deadbolt on the front door. We were thankful for that. You can never be too safe.
Thanks to Bob, his wife (can’t quite remember her name - apologies), and Bob’s daughter (I’m really terrible with names clearly) for making our special time in Kona relaxing and as wonderful as could be. We will absolutely be back one day!
