We just spent 10 nts in the condo for spring break. It was 2 adults & 3 teenagers. I like to write reviews that help me decide if this would be a place I'd like to stay if I were reading it.
The location is great - it's in Kona - on the beach with amazing sunsets - that's one of my requirements when planning our trips! The big island is big - this is about as centrally located as you can get. We drove around the entire island (used Gypsy Guide)! We could watch surfers off the lanai - it's a favorite place for locals! The reserved parking space was nice so we didn't have to look for a space or remember where we parked! The size of the complex was great - not too big but large enough to have a nice pool & outdoor space.
Inside the condo I loved the open floor plan. It felt spacious. The master opens up to the living room (but can be closed off with large sliding doors). The master bath opens up to the common space also so it was accessible to all. It comfortably slept all of us. The kitchen was very well stocked - even with a few condiments, oil, etc that you may need.
One of my favorite things were all the extras - there were plenty of towels - even beach towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, Q tips, beach equipment (3 nice chairs, 4 boogie boards, coolers), yoga mats, pool noodles, laundry detergent/fabric softener sheets. Most AirBnbs don't offer these things & it save tons of time & money having these provided!
Walmart/Target are only 10 minutes away. Costco is 20 minutes. We took a surfing lesson 2 miles down the road. There's a great outdoor marketplace for local souvenirs & shave ice 0.5 mile away that we walked to.
We had a small issue with the AC but it is being replaced so there won't be any problems. Many condos on the big island don't have AC - be sure to check if that's important to you!
Beds were comfortable & there was plenty of seating to watch a movie. But my favorite place was sitting on the lanai watching the surfers! Highly recommend this condo!
