As with most older properties, the exterior of the building is showing some wear and age, but is kept up very well. The grounds are nicely landscaped and maintained.
This condo was clean and very well equipped. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed to get us started for our week of vacation. Plenty of beach gear and towels as well. Being an end unit, there were plenty of windows to open to take advantage of island breezes, and with the shades lowered in the mid-afternoon, the unit keep quite cool with just breezes and fan. It also felt quite private and quiet despite proximity to the pool and all those windows. Geographic location also quite nice, given convenience to downtown Kona and oceanfront placement.
The layout is a little funky with a few tighter than ideal spaces, but overall worked well for our needs. The furniture is showing its age, but was reasonably comfortable. The beds were a little on the firm side, without being super supportive, and the upstairs master bedroom floor creaks a bit. These are all really minor concerns, and are definitely the worst things I can say about this property.
All in all, it is an excellent place with absolutely killer views all around and a wonderful place to spend a week.
Additionally, the concierge and the property management were both extremely easy to work with, and were very accommodating.
Two thumbs way up for this one. Will rebook here!
