Overall a decent place to stay — it looks directly at a public beach, has a nice pool, and you can walk on the street for 10 min to the shops and restaurants on the main drag of Kailua-Kona. However, note that the public beach hosts some relatively sketchy characters, and that the entire apartment complex you're in will feel a bit dated and worn. The host was very responsive, and it was easy to check in and out (though I feel the overall number of tasks we're required to do to check out, even while paying a cleaning fee, seemed high). I'd recommend for shorter stays but not long ones.
