Overall this was just an OK place to stay at.
Pros:
* Wendy was great to work and communicate with!
* Easy check-in and out process
* Good location relative to Kona and a quiet neighborhood
* Plenty of beach supplies available
Cons:
* The AC is powered by a 1 hour timer. This means you have to physically twist the timer knob to get another hour of AC. I respect the desire to save on electricity and make use of the natural cooling of the wind, but we felt deceived. I'll also acknowledge that we may have been there for some of the hotter days/nights. We searched for a listing with AC and this did not meet my expectations. I can't be upset at Wendy (who I'll assume is well within her rights as a host), but I'm disappointed that AirBnB considers this a unit with AC.
* The laundry has specific hours which made it less convenient to use (this was made clear in the listing)
