Our stay was wonderful, the apartment was everything that we expected and so much more. First island literally has everything that you will need for a wonderful stay on the big island. We are from Texas and I really thought I was going to get hot without an AC, but that is not a problem when you stay here with first island. The nights would even get so cold we would have to lower the ceiling fan speed down, and we covered up each night. They drive to and from downtown Kona is no problem, making the commute enjoyable with all the views. Kona Joe coffee is right down the street, you have to make sure to go by and check out the coffee and the views too. The frogs are quite noticeable the first night but by the second night I seemed to not be able to sleep without them. This was definitely a beautiful vacation for us and our six-month-old baby.
