Great spot in Kona
This is a comfy unit in a great location in Kona.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay and would consider it again in the future as we come to the Big Island every couple years. The views are spectacular from the spacious lanai, and having 2 bathrooms and the extra bedroom space was great. There is an elevator halfway down the building and luggage carts available so the 4th floor location worked fine for us when we needed to bring our Costco groceries, bags, etc... up to the unit.
The location is ideal as we were not too close to the busy Kona town center, but the beaches, markets, and restaurants were nearby for a walk or a short drive.
We cooked meals on-site several times, and the grills located down next to the water were well maintained and clean. There are folding chairs and some beach amenities available as well which came in handy. The kitchen is pretty well appointed but you may need to bring salt/pepper/spices to prepare your meals.
As noted this unit does not have A/C and the afternoon sun can be pretty warm. We were able to use the sun shades and the 2 fans provided to keep the place cool, so it was fine, but if you need to be in air conditioning you might not be happy here. Additionally, the king bed mattress probably needs to be replaced. There is a noticeable "dent" on the bathroom side of it. We used some of the extra sheets provided in the unit to fill it in and that worked to flatten it out to some extent.
All-in-all, this was a great home base for our vacation.
