Overall, we were satisfied with our stay in this condominium. The space was clean and organized, uniquely decorated, and situated with easy access to the pool and hot tub, and even with a view of the ocean from the lanai. The kitchen was decently stocked, and we were able to cook comfortably in the space.
The only real disappointment was with how much machine noise came from the golf course and other work on the property every single day of our stay. At first we thought it was just a one- or maybe two-day occurrence, but after our entire week there we realized the early morning noise of the lawn mower was a regular feature. There was also a circular saw running on a couple of the days which was quite intrusive. It made it difficult to relax into the space when we were there, because of all the noise coming from outside. While closing the doors and windows would have helped to reduce the noise, the lack of air conditioning made the space too hot and stuffy to leave the doors closed.
This is a great place to stay if your main intention is to spend each day out exploring the island—which I highly recommend! It is well-located with easy access to the western beaches, to the northern parts of the island such as Pololu and Hawi, and within decent reach of the Kona airport as well. If this is the space you come back to each night, it will meet all your needs. But if you do want to have a slow morning relaxing, the lawnmower will be a sound to contend with that may make such enjoyment more difficult. All that being said, it met the majority of our needs!
