Great for a short term stay, but it’s low value for a longer term stay.
Pros: great location- 10 minutes from Kona and 15 to Captain Cook. Great view! Great layout for two parties. The lanai is amazing, and a great place to watch the sunset.
Cons: rigid policies aren’t customer friendly. Eg. We booked a 29 night stay and within 1 hour of booking, realized we needed to shorten it to 28 nights. They wouldn’t refund us 1 night, so we had to pay extra for the night we didn’t stay.
We stayed for a month and we’re given 4 rolls of TP, 3 garbage bags and minimal cleaning supplies. We were told this was a “starter pack” and all other household items had to be purchased ourselves. In addition, to cleaning supplies, we also had to buy our own ant traps.
After fees/taxes, it ended up being $500 per night, and I don’t think the furnishings were nice enough to warrant the price. It wasn’t dirty or anything, but it was older, very lived in furniture. There were ants in the closet and bathroom. You’re primarily paying for the location.
Misinformation at check in. Internet connection was great once we got the right password. The house information had the wrong internet password in the materials, so that took some time to figure out. They also texted a reminder to take the garbage out a day after trash pickup, so we missed it the first week and the garbage got smelly in the hot sun.
