This was the perfect place for my wife and I to stay and explore the Big Island for our honeymoon. The unit has an updated kitchen, a spacious layout, good lanai, and is nicely decorated. The bed is also extremely comfortable.
It comes with a lot of conveniences, like an in unit washer/dryer, two full bathrooms, and lots of beach gear you can use. I was a little nervous when I saw the A/C was a portable window unit, but with the many ceiling fans going it actually did a great job at keeping the whole unit nice and cool. There's a detailed house manual, and the hosts have clearly labelled every appliance, switch, and feature, which was really handy.
The building is very quiet, we never heard any noise from neighbours. The pool area is quite nice too.
It's right in the heart of Kailua-Kona which is mostly a tourist strip, so there are some restaurants and shops to stroll along right on water. But it's also minutes away by car from the highway to get anywhere else in the island you might want to visit.
The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating. We had a great time!
