Great little condo

Great little condo for exploring the east side of the island. We thought the location was easy to get to and made lots of places pretty accessible in a short time. The ocean sound was lovely to come home to. There were several restaurants and stores within walking distance, which made things easy. The kitchen was minimal but we got by fine. Parking can also be difficult but road parking was abundant when we couldn’t get a spot in the lot. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the condo and would stay again.

Great location, walkable to main areas of town (shopping, restaurants). Parking is tight on property and Kona is known for its daily gridlock. I would stay here again. Fun.

Good spot for a few days

The place is small but in a decent location for a few days. Close to good restaurants and the harbor for our excursions. We did enjoy the view from the balcony. The balcony is the best part of the apartment. We did not have any coffee provided so definitely bring some if you need coffee.

Just the 2 of us

Sweet little property perfectly appointed for 2 adults. Directly across from the ocean, there is a small rocky beach, great for dolphin sightings on the balcony. Great location, easy walking neighborhood with lots of dining options along Ali'i drive. Central to what we wanted to experience on Big Island (Kohala coast beaches, manta ray snorkel, and Volcanoes National Park). Communication with the host is excellent.

If you book 2 days, don't get sick!

The owner was kind in her responses, even got me in an hour early on check-in. I was sort of sick when I arrived but got far more sick as the day went on. When another whole set of reservations failed, I asked if I could leave a day early. Owner wouldn't answer that question, just with "I hope you get better". I checked out at normal check out time the next day, and flew home early. I thought the decent thing to do was to charge me for one, not two nights. Nope charged for two nights. I also brought up other things like all vending machines on site were out of order, so not drinks, no laundry soap, nothing. It's a nice room, but I won't book with this person again.

Great studio steps from downtown Kona

Cece has a couple of properties in the same hotel, and because of a maintenance issue, we were moved to room 338. Rcently renovated and could not fault it! Everything has been carefully selected, the decor is very bright and beachy, and there is even a small kitchenette with fridge and microwave for a quick bite. Super clean. not stuffy, perfect for 2 people. We only spent one night, but wish we could spend more. Just a few steps and you are on Ali'i Drive, the main street by the ocean where all the restaurants and bars and boutiques are. We had no issue finding parking just by our building. I don't think there is an elevator, so if you have mobility challenges, you might want to ask the owner. Thank you Cece for a last minute one night booking - not easy to find.

Maintenance, Parking and detail needs attention

Sliding glass door to patio was rusted in bottom track impossible to open without incredible force. Coffee pot was very dirty and could not brew coffee and found what looks like old sour milk stuck and clogging the system. Parking was not available and most cars did not have a parking permit the we seen while walking by the cars. I had to park on the street which made me very uncomfortable.

Ideal location in midtown Kona

Perfect oceanfront location. Private accessible "beach" right across the street with loud ocean sounds. If that is your desire, this is the perfect small, convenient, ocean-overlook in Kona.

Great location, nice place!

The location was fantastic! After exploring the island during the day, we would return to the apartment and walk to dinner. Loads of foot traffic in the area and we could sit in the morning and have coffee on the oceanview balcony people watching, spotting dolphins, and all of the other activity on the water. Just be prepared to park off location if you don't have your car back before 4 pm. Only one night we had to find street parking because we got in late. Definitely a great place and would stay again!

Great location room enough for 2

Location is everything! The space was exactly as stated...with exception to no elevator as a point of interest. Up and down 3 flights with luggage was doable but not expected. The parking situation is also no joke on the weekend...must be in by 4 or you will literally not be able to park in the parking lot of your rental. I guess it said it in reviews but FYI it is FACT! We enjoyed our stay!
