Only suggestion is if you plan on doing laundry dont wait untill the last minute because the dryer takes a long time to dry due to it being ventless. ##### Michele Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob C. 17 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay!

Everything and i mean everything is there for you from the usual supplies to coolers, beach items and even snorkeling equipment to every spice you need to cook and the ziplock bags to store leftovers. The king size bed is super comfy as are the recliners and couch in the living room. No dining room but the patio has a table with 4 very comfortable chairs. Not allowed to have things hanging on the balcony to dry, no problem as a drying rack is there for you out there. We never even needed the washer and dryer. The location was so perfect. We could walk to restaurants and we could get into the free underground parking garage from the back so no need to get stuck in downtown traffic. Mary was so quick to communicate if we needed anything. We travel all over the world and never go back to the same place twice, but if we did, we wouldn't stay anywhere else. ##### Roslyn M.

In the heart of Kailua-Kona! The best part was waking up to the sounds of the ocean waves and ending our evening with the sunset and sounds of music from nearby establishments. The apartment complex is quiet and secured. The hosts have really thought of everything. There was not one item missing from this home. I especially appreciated the array of spices available. It was great to have enough dishes supplied in the house. The house has all the beach gear you need (chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkeling equipment for ALL ages, ice chests, water bottles, and even sunscreen!!!) We will definitely stay here again when returning to the island! ##### Lori E. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kris c. 6 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Kailua-Kona stay Communication with owner was excellent. She was very accommodating and even allowed us to drop our luggage early so we didn't have to drive around all day with our bags in our car. The place is very well equipped with kitchen goods, beach & snorkel gear, toiletries, etc. You can't beat the location - shops/restaurants/bars/pier/beach all within walking distance. We saw about 40 dolphins from the patio. My only criticism (if you can call it that) is the oversized furniture. Two enormous reclining chairs are in the living area and there is no where to move them if you open the sleep-away & trundle bed. The furniture on the patio is also difficult to get around. We were out most of the day, anyway. I would definitely stay here over a hotel because of all the amenities. ##### kris c. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael F., LA GRANGE 28 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Outstanding location, large lanai, clean home My family of 4 stayed for 3 nights in June, 2022 and we loved the place. My teenage kids slept on the pull-out couch and the murphy bed, which made for a full living room space, but the large size of the lanai more than made up for the restricted space when both beds were pulled out. The secured garage with parking space and elevator up to the floor was an added bonus. We were also really grateful for the closet containing snorkel and beach gear...everything we needed was available. Location of the apartment could not be better--right in the center of Kailua-Kona just off Ali'i drive, with views of the bay and sounds of the town. ABC store across the street. Full kitchen, clean and modern bathroom, and central air conditioning. Communication with Mary was excellent--she helped in several instances prior to and during our stay. If I have the opportunity, I would stay here again without hesitation. ##### Michael F. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Christina G. 7 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Limited AC, crowded space, lots & lots beach stuff Pros: owner responsive, location in middle of Kona, multiple copies of everything you need for the beach, lots of fans (they are needed) Cons: Listing says building has central AC. Upon arrival place was 85 and learned building AC hasn’t worked in years. There’s a large floor AC in the bedroom that cooled off that room, living room stayed hot. Listing needs to be corrected. Check-in and check- out instructions were overwhelming. As mentioned in other reviews, lots of furniture in the living room. To use either murphy bed, must move large recliners into hallway. And upon leaving, must put everything back and wash bedding. Summary: If you are a small group, want to be downtown Kona, don’t worry about AC, and spend your time at the beach this may work for you. ##### Christina G.
