The Condo sits right on Alii drive, (light sleepers beware)so it is within easy walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants in old Kona town. Well furnished with nice new kitchen. It can sleep 5-6 comfortably. Didn't use the pool since the beach was also close. DVD player would be a nice addition.
My family had a wonderful stay at this property. Thanks!
The house is perfect for 4 people or for a family with children. There are two bedrooms and twe bathrooms, the other people sleep in an area above the living room, so for a group of 6 or 8 friends the house is not very handy. The location is perfect, you can walk to the centre of Kona.
nice kitchen, a bit noisy from Alii drive. Worst noise is the air condition unit. But we were satisfied. One of our men left his nice tan/brown shoe when we left/vacate the unit. Talked to Wayne but we weren't able to get the nice shoe back. We got one shoe (a different one-dark colored one )back that was left there ( fella didn't not know he left shoe back at unit/apt. But never got the nice/tan dress shoe back. We also left a new dish rack that we bought (maroon color one) when we moved in but were not able to retrieve either.
Overall, this was a good accommodation. Location is great, close to shopping and the ocean, the kitchen is very nice, layout is practical and comfortable. The disadvantages are that this unit is very noisy and very hot. We had difficulties sleeping because of the noise and the heat. The units should be properly insulated for the climat. The loft is immpossible to use - it is that hot. The carpets should be changed, they look worn out and dirty. Overall I would rate it at 2 2/3. Thanks
November was a very hot month with temperatures reaching 95 degrees during the day. A/C units in not only this property, but other properties and my office as well could not cool sufficiently. The loft is an issue and we are in the process of installing a separate A/C there. I carpets are worn, but are not dirty. I have not had noise complaints on this unit before and am wondering if the sliders were left open because of the heat which would make the noise from the street much louder.
I would not recommend only because we basically had very little comfort in the way of air conditioning. With 5 people sleeping and poor air conditioning, it put a damper on our stay when kids and myself didn't sleep well. But, lessons learned. Thanks.
The air conditioning unit in the living room is usually sufficient to cool the downstairs. The loft area does get warm and we have installed a fan in the ceiling that pulls air out. The month of August here in Kona is the hottest month of the year and this year was no exception. My office A/C unit has been running 8 to 10 degrees higher this month as a result of the warm days and humidity. The A/C unit will be tested to insure it is working propertly or will be replaced.
Nice place within walking distance of downtown. Plenty of room. Has everything we needed. Property manager was awesome.
The small bathroom was full of mold in the shower and on the floor. The larger bathroom had mold on the floor and some in the shower but not in the quantity of the small bathroom. There was not a full set of silverware available or adequate serving bowls. Other than the above we were quite comfortable.
Problem with location was road noise, not something you can fix, but it might be better to alert guests to the issue. Made worse by fact you want to leave windows and doors open to ventilate at night.
My family loved the location of this vacation rental. We enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi. It was a great place for rest and relaxation. Even though we were able to see the traffic on Ali'i Drive from our balcony, we slept peacefully. We are looking forward for our stay next year. Thanks!!
We loved the convenience of the location. The unit was beautiful. It exceeded our expectations. It was very spacious and the layout offered much privacy. I have already forwarded the unit information to a friend who is looking for a place to stay. I can't imagine why this wouldn't be the perfect place for everyone.
Could have more litghs points in the living. Pool there was o lot of cloro But the rest was very good.
a/c was only one inwall unit. Didn't keep anything cool except the living room and kitchen. Had to sleep on the floor in the lr, upstairs and bedrooms waaay too hot. Keep the fans OFF, they only suck the hot air back down.
