Overall, our stay at the Vanda was a lot of fun. Downtown Kona is not far away and there are a couple beaches within walking distance. We also enjoyed the fruit trees in the yard which we were invited to help ourselves to. Limes, mangos, and mountain apples were in season! That being said, we did have a few issues. A lot of bugs can easily fit under a loose-fitting back door. Roaches and centipedes were a daily sight in our living area because of this issue. Also, the extremely small space made it hard to live out of for long. The only table to sit at is outside and mosquitos are abundant so bring bug spray! Also, there is an AC unit right by the table that is for the second rented space on the property. If the other people sharing the space decide they want to have it on, you can forget about having any kind of conversation because it is pretty loud. It was also a little claustrophobic living on the property with the host and another apartment. Amenities are also very limited within. There is a hot plate and pan but no spatula for example. It seemed like some of the basics were missing. So if you are a single person who is looking for an affordable place with a good location and no frills, this could be the place for you. Otherwise I would suggest looking around a little more.
