Good Last Minute Find.

Property is old, and it is apparent. However, it was clean and maintained quite well. Most of our time spent away from the unit.

Lovely location

This property was as advertised. It is in an older building and there is the related wear and tear, but everything is well kept and fully functional. The location is fantastic, steps from anything you might need. The view from the lanai is surprisingly great, as you see over the pool and to the ocean, including the sunset (at least when we were there in February). Once on island, the property managers primarily communicate via text, which I appreciated. They were responsive within business hours for normal communication. The small, semi-open, second bedroom was perfect for our toddler. As mentioned, there is no A/C, but with fans and cross breeze the conditions were perfect. The pool was well maintained and heated to about air temp, so it was a great place to hang out with the family. The grill area at the pool was great, with newer grills and plenty of propane. Overall, we would not hesitate to stay there again.

Great location

Excellent location, easy walk to all of Ali'i drive Kona. Easy, safe and covered parking spot. The unit is safe and nice big lanai with views of pool and ocean beyond. The rooftop is nice for sunsets. Honestly the unit needs some upgrades (esp. carpet replacement) but good value for the price. Thank you.

Old condo - needs updates

Best thing about this condo is the location right on Ali’i drive by restaurants and shopping. Worst thing is the condo is old, needs updates, the lighting is very poor in the bedrooms. A new fan on the Lanai is badly needed. The furnishings in this condo are very low budget. For artwork- posters taped to the walls! The master bedroom window is facing the outside walkway and playground. Very noisy. Some of the beach chairs are old and broken and should be thrown away. The Lanai is large and has a great view of the pool. And, the swimming pool at this property is very nice!

Great location But Noisy

This is a great location in town, walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops. No AC but there are fans in all rooms. Would recommend staying here in the winter months and not summer! The master bedroom is next to hallway so pretty noisy. The carpet is stained and there were cobwebs under the bar counter.

Old unit, needs upgrade

Location is great. Listing is accurate. The doors are original from when the property was built. Hinges, many fixtures, doorknobs tarnished from being at sea level for 50 years. Carpet very old. Housekeeping did as good as one could expect with that old of property. Vertical blinds need to go. Damaged, difficult to use with all the grit in the pulleys and ropes of the blinds. Need to put in hardwood floors, replace doors. Limited furniture in bedrooms. Maps were taped on wall for decor. Good deal for a 2 bedroom in that location. I'm sure prop. manager has spoken to owner about the above items. It wouldn't take much to upgrade the unit.
