We knew when we were looking for a place to stay on the Big Island that we didn’t want a fancy resort due to the fact that we knew we would be traveling a lot and didn’t want a place where our kids didn’t want to leave. This place was perfect for us! A little south of the main restaurants and shops in Kona but only a 2 minute drive. We always found parking, and never had to pay for it. (If you are a big traveler you know paying for parking all of the time can add up drastically). There was a little mini mart right across the street that we went into almost everyday, so that was a nice plus.
This condo was the perfect size for our family of 4. A plus was it having two bathrooms! That came in handy whenever we got back from a beach day and we all had to shower. It was well stocked with just about everything you could think of. (Beach towels, beach toys, coolers, flashlights, bug spray, kitchen accessories, toilet trees, etc..) The condo was very clean and decorated very modernly (just my style I should add). The lanai was definitely the best part! We ate breakfast out there every morning and hung out there every night. The only part to be aware of is that there are full time residents below so there is quiet hours. With us being from New York State we were up by 5am every morning due to the time difference and I had to keep reminding my 7 year old she couldn’t jump around and we needed to be respectful of the other residents. After a few days she didn’t need any more reminders from us, but if you have small children that is something to think about.
Throughout the stay we didn’t need Kristina for anything, but she always responded right away when it came to checking in and checking out (Which was extremely easy). She reassured us as well how to contact her in case we did need her throughout the stay.
Overall this was a great place that I highly recommend for a family like us!
