Our trip was average. We were really looking forward to this vacation after such a long travel break. Though this place was more expensive than most others around Kona, we thought it would be luxurious and worth it. Pros: 1) the ocean view offered by this condo is incredible. You can hear the waves through the night. 2) It’s close enough to downtown and to grocery stores so the location is convenient.
Cons: 1) the house wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. We found dead cockroaches in the bedroom, cabinets bed etc. it would be understandable if it was just in the balcony, but it was gross to see them all over the hone when we arrived. 2) the WiFi wasn’t setup. We wanted to work for a couple of days but they had no internet. They did send someone over to fix it but it apparently was complicated and they had to setup everything from scratch. So we lost our work day and couldn’t use WiFi. Throughout that day, they had people in and out of the house so we lost all privacy. It was not at all a pleasant experience. The host gave us a small refund for this 3) The AC is only in the bedroom and didn’t cool the whole house. They suggested a work-around to cool the house, which involved placing fans in the hallway. It didn’t work well.
Overall, we would have enjoyed the stay more if the house was properly setup for our arrival.
