Nice clean property and well stocked with anything you might need. Room was clean when we walked in and the AC was on which was a nice touch.Bed was large and comfortable and communication with the property owner was excellent. The community where it was located, Kona Shores was very nice and centrally located. The property is about a half hour drive to Kona Airport and centrally located to all attractions on the Big Island. I would rent here again.

Nice Place

The apartment is close to the shops and restaurants within a short drive. The apartment has everything we needed so it was comfortable. It’s right next to the main road but quite at night. It’s also about 20-30 minutes from the airport so it was convenient. We had a nice stay.

Great location and everything you need!

The rental was conveniently located, and very comfortable and clean. We would definitely stay again! We found that we had everything we needed available, and it seemed like a lot of thought went into making sure we were felt welcomed and comfortable. The property manager, Vicki, was great, and even was able to help us recover my mother's lost cell phone in from the condo.

Great location

Enjoyed our stay in this well appointed condo! Appreciated that there was an umbrella and cooler bag available for beach use. Only thing to note is the unit faces the road so if you’re a light sleeper it’s something to consider, although not much traffic noise at night.
