Place was beautiful and set up was great but there was cockroaches. We pulled out the pull out bed and out came like 6. I know it native to the island but there were dead ones too behind the couch.

We loved staying within walking distance of all the restaurants and shopping. Our condo did have a big mess on the back porch but the management company addressed it. We had an issue with being accused of checking in early but the error was on their side and they fixed it immediately. We did notice the screen door doesn’t stay shut unless you lock it, so walking in with your hands full can be challenging. My only suggestion would be to have a normal size frying pan. The one there now is very small, too small for even two people.

This property was close to town so that made it nice! Lots of homeless walking into town just FYI The condo was ok… it wasn’t cleaned very good and had cockroaches which I get it’s an island but still icky! We notified management about the cleanliness and so hopefully for the next guests it will be. Our neighbors were quiet so that was nice.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is very centrally located close to the urban center of Kona — it’s about a 7 minute walk if you cut across some parking lots. The apartment was nicely stocked with everything we needed and more! (The kids really enjoyed trying out the boogie board and snorkels so thank you for those!) We had a small problem with the sofa bed mattress being a little wet but the property manager was very responsive to our questions. All in all, it really served our purpose. Highly recommended if you’re looking to be close to center of Kona without resort-type price and activities.

It was a great experience. I think there could be a drawing or anything similar to better identify the unit's location inside the building complex. In addition, even though the place was very clean, a cockroach showed up in the bathroom and no insecticide was available on the unit ... considering it's a hard thing to avoid in Hawaii's weather conditions (humidity, temperatures, etc), an insecticide would be a great way to deal with it when it happens.

LOVED this condo! Fabulous location, we walked to see the sunset and eat downtown multiple nights. The pool was lovely - surrounded by beautiful plants and a quiet paradise in the middle of town (shallowest at 4ft so bring a life jacket for young kiddos). This place worked great for our 9-yr-old to stay on the couch and my spouse & I to stay in the bed. Had everything we needed in the kitchen. Really appreciated the coolers and drying rack provided as well. The property owners were very communicative via text and super helpful & responsive with any questions we had. Would absolutely stay here again!

A 5 minute walk to the beach at king Kamehameha hotel on Ali’i with many historical sites, restaurants and shops nearby. Very laid back and quiet area. Nice clean pool with propane grills for outdoor cooking. Very responsive and friendly management company. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and eating utensils, ice maker in fridge, chairs for the beach, a rain umbrella, blender, coolers to bring to the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

This was an excellent place to stay on big island and I highly recommend it. The apartment itself has everything you could want for your stay and communication with the management company was seamless and their responses were prompt to any questions we had. also, the location was great since you could have access to the roads that go north, south or east relatively easily to get around the island.

The apartment was overall comfortable but the bed/linens were old and not clean. The bed frame was dusty However, the management company was receptive and corrected some of the complaints. There are also plenty of steps leading into the property. It was difficult managing heavy luggage up and down the steps.

This was a very nice condo in the heart of Kona, but there was three of us, and it would be much better for just a couple. The pull-out couch bed was okay, but there was only one thin blanket for that bed, and the living room curtains did not work well to keep the light out of that room. Also, the reserved parking space was quite far from the entrance, making it difficult when carrying in groceries or luggage. Also, the only way to lock the door from the inside was to use a key, and to unlock it from the inside you also had to use a key. I could see this as a real problem if there was an emergency with a need to exit and the key could not be located. That could be tragic. We ended up leaving the key inserted into the lock while we were inside the condo (not the best scenario, but we didn't want a problem if there was an emergency). The pool and air conditioning was excellent, and overall this was a great place to stay in Kona.

This property is comfortable, clean and spacious. It's is fully stocked with dishes, utensils, towels, beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, fridge, microwave, oven, coffee pot etc.
It is in a great, walkable location to restaurants, shops and the ocean.
You have your own parking space too. It's a little walk to the condo, but not bad.
This is a gem. I would stay again, and highly recommend.

We enjoyed our 9-day stay at the large and centrally located condo in Kona. A short drive from the airport (and Costco that had gas for ~$.75 less per gallon), the condo has a lovely portico, large living room with open kitchen, and very comfortable bedroom and bed, as well as a bathroom with plenty of space for 2 to store toiletries. Kona was a short walk from the condo has numerous restaurants, shops and beach. The owners provided beach chairs, beach towels and a small cooler which we used daily on our excursions to various beach locations (Kona, Mauna Kea lovely white sand beach, Punalu'u black sand beach, Kaloko-Honokohau beach with turtles just feet away in shallow water, and Kahalu’u beach for amazing snorkeling). We loved visiting Volcano National Park, several waterfalls, breakfast at Hawaiian Style Cafe in Waimea, night snorkel excursion with the Manta Rays (highlight of our trip!), Pu'uhonua O Honaunau Refuge Park and bake shop is a must stop, visit to Mountain Thunder Coffee Plantation (don't miss out on the nature walk in the Cloud Forest or petting Margie, the cat), Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory tour, Mona Loa (don’t miss the sunset views from a mountain across from the visitors center or more stars than I have ever seen at night). We were also able to “hitch a ride” to the top for stunning views of the island. After a busy day of visiting the sites around the island, we really enjoyed time by the pool a couple of evenings where we could use the grill and were welcomed by neighbors in the community who graciously gave us recommendations on places to go in Kona (our favorite was Don the Beachcomber Happy Hour with a gorgeous view and Poke Nachos) and the rest of the island. We also looked forward to the welcome of the wonderful neighborhood cat, Mauser, who with a little encouragement would snuggle up against my stretched-out legs on the lounge chair. Gorgeous scenery everywhere! Truly a trip of a lifetime.

Our family of four stayed here for 2 weeks. Our sons used the pull out sofa bed and had no issues. Its a great unit for a couple or a family of four. We loved the location. It was close to Kona and a 2 min walk to the shops and restaurants, while still being far enough away from any noise. Stepping out for a quick drink during happy hour or for ice cream after supper was easy. Walk across the street and through a parking lot and you're right in the heart of Kona. In the mornings, you could walk to Safeway which is about a 5 min walk or to Starbucks (2 mins). We found the condo complex was quiet, clean and welcoming. The pool was a perfect getaway to hang out and meet the neighbors. The property management group was fantastic to deal with before, during and after our stay. We'll be using one of their properties on our next visit to the big island.

Exceptionally clean apartment that is well stocked. We appreciated the new kitchen ware, as well as nice amenities such as coolers, beach blankets and beach chairs that we were able to take the beach with us. The location is very convenient to downtown Kona. The restaurant, shops and grocery store are all within walking distance. A warning for future guests: the designated parking place is no where near the apartment. This wasn't a big deal for us as we are very active, but folks with limited mobility may find this a challenge. The two small complaints that I have are 1) there instructions for check in were not completely clear. It took as a lot of hunting to find the correct apartment. We wondered around the property for almost 40 minutes before a resident was able to help us. A map indicating the location on the property would be helpful for future guests. 2) The property management company makes it very clear that they will charge $100 for a lockout if you lock yourself out of the apartment. However, they only provide a key for the inside door, and not the screen door, which has door knob lock that can be easily triggered. That lock is on a separate key that is not provided. While we took care not to lock ourselves out, this seems like a recipe for disaster, or at least a lot of lockout incidences. An easy solution it to either change the locks to match, or provide a key for the screen door! Overall, a great experience and I would stay there again on my next trip.

Goods: location is pretty good, walk to the beach walk to the grocery store. Could be betters:The outdoor furniture smells really strongly of old sweat, bedspread was dirty I had to call and ask for the place to be recleaned and new bedding. When I explained there was a white stain and a few dark stains on the bedspread it didn’t sound like they believed me (now looking at other reviews and this is a common issue) and didn’t receive a sorry but they did send someone over that day to change the bedding. There’s a super bright hallway light that shines on to the bed- and no shades. I ended up using pillows and sheets and taping them to the window so that I could sleep.
