This condo unit was perfect for me as a solo traveller. Location was great, about 20 minutes for me to walk in to Kona. Easy access to the highway for my numerous excursions. Pool located right on the beach offered amazing sunset views. The kitchen had everything I needed, and more. All the beach accessories were a welcome addition as well. Queen bed and a pull out couch, if you need to accommodate more people.

We stayed 20 days at this really nice condo. On line pictures were accurate so no surprises. Condo was clean and very comfortable. Great location, close to town and the pool right next to the ocean is lovely. We would definitely stay here again! Hosts were very attentive. Mahalo, Rod and Anne Nanaimo, B.C.

This space was perfect for two. It was clean, well-stocked, and close to coffee, a store, a few beaches, and "downtown" Kona. The property manager was amazing, attentive, and helpful. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Great for 2. Second floor, balcony, good a/c, clean, cute. Had a couple types of chairs, umbrella, floaties, and a couple sizes of coolers and nice beach towels. The grounds with pool and bbq area plus just a nice spot with tables down at the water was well maintained and pretty quiet. Laundry is $2.50 a load, they have an app you can download. Great location. You don’t need to keep track of a key to come and go so that was nice. Nice price point too for what you get.

The location of the condo was great and really clean. The listing is complete (we did not miss anything), accurate and everything worked appropriately. Communications with the property manager was easy, clear, and received well enough in advance so that the checkin process is easy and fast. Checout process was also easy to do. No excessive requirements to do.
We had a great time, and we thank you for that. We definitvely recommend this location.

This condo was just as advertised. It would be perfect for a younger couple looking for a short term stay right near the hub of Kona downtown. It is very basically stocked but more or less has everything you need. A couple boogie boards would have been greatly appreciated and a portable plastic laundry tub for the walk to the laundry

We enjoyed our stay at this great location. The condo was well equipped. We used the lawn chairs, ice packs & umbrellas that were there. They were nice to have & greatly appreciated. Sunsets from the pool area were awesome!

Great place to stay just mile down the road from all of the shops and restaurants and walking distance to coffee shop and small convenience store. The unit is on the road but was not as noisy as we expected. The pool was great with a view of and access to the rocky shores of the ocean for a beautiful sunset.

Upon arrival we noticed how close to downtown shops we were, also we were able to walk down to the pool area which gives you oceanfront access. Although it’s pretty rocky, beautiful nonetheless! Beds were comfy and there was plenty of extras such as umbrellas, beach towels, beach chairs, coolers (2sizes) snorkel gear, beach blankets and pool noodles! There was plenty of plates silverware and much more. The street gets pretty noisy from 4-6pm but quiets down after that. Air conditioning is felt great walking in after a long day of shopping! Very cute quaint little airbnb. I would stay here again.

The property staff is always quick to respond assisting with needs or issues. Although we saw a few stains on some of the furniture cloth everything else was neat clean and comforting. The pools is small but fun with beautiful ocean views including cruise ships, kayakers and sailboats. Encourages more of quiet local life on a zen peaceful state. Laundry on site also great pay per load and lizards are fun and interesting. We had a lovely stay!

It’s a beautiful little studio condo on the second floor accessible by stairs right next to the road. The location is close to all of the Kona life. The condo owner has supplied beach towels and amenities to provide you with fun times at the beach. We really enjoyed our stay at this little place. Thank you.

This property had all we needed for our first visit to the Big island. Good location! Nice extras for the beach on the patio, umbrella, cooler. We didn’t use the pool but the views of the sunset was nice from there. Did buy some charcoal and grilled by the pool a couple of nights. Only critique I have is there could be a bit more kitchenware provided. Very limited on cups and plates. All in all a great little place for the week!

If you are looking for a small single room space that is literally on a major through road with traffic day and night, that costs the same as an quiet multi room apartment, then this is the place for you. It was on the second floor adjacent to the road, so the traffic noise came with the space. The widow air conditioner didn’t help since it would run for 30 seconds, just enough to wake you up, then switch off. One minute later the same process would restart. This space has an outstanding view of the parking lot from the balcony, or the main road from the front. I have been to properties on Alii drive for over 25 years, and this was by far the worst value for Money by far.

Unit was on 2nd floor with the door facing the street. Deck had a view of the parking lot. Was difficult to get luggage up the stairs to the unit. Tall table on deck only had 2 chairs so the 3rd person in our party got stuck sitting on a regular chair needing to reach up to set cup on table and hold their food in their lap. We had no idea there was no elevator and were not told this when we booked it.

We definetely WOULD NOT stay here again. The whole place is generally run down.
The condo we had was literally nearly on the street. Only 50' to the centre of the busiest road in town. Noisy traffic 24/7.
Pool , BBQ area in need of repair, maintenance, paint, locks etc.
Nice view from the pool area but you walk right by garbage area which was quite over full when we were there mid February 2017.
The unit itself had an underpowered air conditioner.
There was no washer, dryer nor dishwasher even though in the ad for the place said to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher.

We stayed for 11 nights in this condo. It was very clean and comfortable. It is an easy walk to shops and restaurants and although it is on the shoreline if you are looking for a good beach, you will need a car. The property manager was very quick to reply to all messages and was nice to deal with. The sunset from the pool is amazing! Don't hesitate to book this cute little place :)
