Overall a good location and value. Located in a large condo complex right on Ali'i Drive which is the main road for miles with many restaurants/shops and beaches along the way. Super close to Green Flash Coffee (good lattes and breakfast sandwiches) and Da Poke Shack (great ahi tuna poke). Also an easy spot to drive to Keauhou Bay for boat tours.
Pros:
-Good location if you're trying to be right in Kona and near shops/restaurants
-Large 1 bedroom condo unit with lots of space in the living room/kitchen area (there is a sleeper sofa there and could sleep another 1-2 people, but we did not open it)
-Very comfortable King bed, soft bedsheets and foam pillows
-Really lovely lanai (balcony) with a drying rack for your swim stuff and a nice bar height table that gets a nice breeze from the ocean
-Amazing view of the ocean from the pool area (but note no food/drinks allowed directly by the pool, probably a good rule to avoid really rowdy drunk people)
-Easy to find and check-in (good instructions), and great responsiveness from Wendy and Guy (though sometimes they would respond separately around the same time)
Cons:
-Don't plan on sleeping in (we didn't anyway, but just a heads up) as you can hear footsteps from the unit above and they wake around 7am
-Ran into a large cockroach one evening; this is likely normal considering the location/busy condo complex and thankfully it was only one, but it was terrifying (recommend covering the sink and shower drains at night and keep your luggage zipped); Wendy and Guy were really wonderful resolving this afterwards and allowed us to check out one day early
Decision to rent will depend on what you're looking for. This place is comfortable and in a good location, but could use some updates in the bathroom and I don't think would use as a luxury quiet getaway.
