The location is the reason we rented this place. We spent a lot of time on the lanai in the mornings and nights. It’s a bit far of a walk to downtown Kona, but doable if you don’t have a car. Lots of small beaches around too. A busy, bustling area close to a lot of cute shops and restaurants.
Parking was easy and we were always able to find a spot near the condo.
If you’re here for the pool, look elsewhere. It’s located in a weird atrium area in the center of this big complex and is SMALL.
The biggest con was the A/C. There’s only one window unit on the beach side of the condo which only has a timer of 4 hours, so it would feel very humid and musty in the middle of the night (until someone got up to reset the timer) and when we came back from adventuring all day. Patti, the leasing agent, suggested we open the lanai doors for a breeze, but there wasn’t a breeze that first night at all and was more humid outside than inside. This made the condo smell a bit moldy. This was also made worse by the fact that there was no switch for the shower fans in either of the bathrooms, so they always felt a bit wet and muggy.
Otherwise, if you’re here for the location, you can’t beat it.
