Thank you! There’s nothing better than coffee on the lanai and sunset cocktails — we’re so glad you soaked it all in. We’d love to welcome you back with Gather for another stay filled with those perfect island moments!
Great location in the middle of everything with an amazing view. Loud at times, but that is because it is steps to bars and restaurants. Perfect for a couple and includes outdoor supplies like beach chairs and even a cooler. Comes with parking and a secure building.

This condo had everything we needed. A gourmet kitchen, great patio to enjoy our breakfast and drinks at sunset. The property is in a nice central location making it easy to walk to restaurants and shops. Best part was the view of the bay and the oceans waves.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Roxanne! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the gourmet kitchen and the beautiful patio views. The bay and ocean waves are indeed special, and we're delighted they added to your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing visit!
A gem! Location is incredibly convenient, right in the middle of the shops / restaurants in downtown Kona. The host made the check in & check out process seamless with text updates and easy to follow directions for parking and getting into the home. The house itself was clean and cozy with an incredible unobstructed view of the ocean from the patio where we often saw dolphins jumping and playing. Having a washer and dryer, plus 2 bathrooms was a huge bonus as well. The price we paid for the week was a steal considering the location and home itself. I would 100% stay again. Highly recommend!

Very enjoyable stay, right in the middle of town. We walked to restaurants, shops, and the pier/beach. It was fun sitting on the lanai watching the dolphins and boats, as well as all of the people walking by below. Comfortable home. Had all we needed.

The property was clean and well stocked with necessary dishes, pots/pans, towels, linens, etc. We liked having the two bathrooms and the washer and dryer in the unit. The view from the balcony was amazing!! Also, it is located near excellent restaurants and stores.

Thank you for your feedback, Christopher! We're glad you enjoyed the spot and appreciate your preference for a human property manager on site. We'll take your suggestion into consideration as we continue to enhance our guest services. We hope to welcome you again at Gather and provide an even better experience!
Cannot beat ocean front view! Location within walking distance of several restaurants and shops. Remodeled kitchen and main bathroom were wonderful. Suggest replacing sliding glass doors with double pan vinyl to reduce noise. Blinds on sliders in bad shape and need replacing. Window in bedroom does not work and also needs to be replaced to reduce noise. Other than that, enjoyed our stay very much.

Thank you for your review, Cyndie! We're so glad you enjoyed the oceanfront views and the beautifully updated spaces in the home. We’re always looking for ways to enhance the guest experience, and your notes have been passed along for future improvements. We'd love to welcome you again soon for another relaxing coastal getaway.
UNIT DESPERATLY NEEDS: regular water glasses (there were NONE), Kleenex is a simple courtesy, large living area with two couches-needs a second coffee table, a couple extra pillows and a blanket would be nice, placemats and a couple extra dish towels. These are simple fixes - never stayed in a unit that doesn't have water glasses or Kleenex!

A lively location for a Kona stay
This nicely updated, very clean, generally well priced condo is in an old apartment building located on a very popular road in the heart of visitor Kona. The major pluses for this condo are the walking access to many popular restaurants, bars and shops and the gorgeous ocean view from the lanai. The open space kitchen/dining table/TV room is well furnished and comfortable. The main bathroom is elegant, the 2nd is functional. The parking is included and uncovered, but in a secure parking space a few feet from the condo. The pool area is nicely landscaped with ample loungers and an outdoor grill. The main compromising factor is the traffic noise from the road on the lanai side of the condo. Evenings, particularly on the weekend we visited, were loud late into the night. From Monday through Thursday AM it was noticeably quieter. Of note, the bars and restaurants are under guidelines to quiet down by 10pm so the noise is pretty much just from "cruising" road vehicles and revved up motorbikes. Finally the management group is very professional, accessible and helpful. We appreciated them very much. We would stay here again as the pricing was very competitive for the size and view, but the noise is a notable factor.

Thank you so much, Jacqueline! We're thrilled you enjoyed the thoughtful updates, comfortable layout, and especially that stunning lanai view. It's great to know the location gave you easy access to all the best of Kona, and we really appreciate your kind words about our team—it means a lot. While the lively energy of the area can bring some extra noise, we're glad the overall experience and value made it a stay you'd return for. We'd be delighted to welcome you back to Gather anytime!
Great location and close to everything. It was exactly what was described in the listing. Being downtown, it was a little noisy, but not after 8pm or 9pm.
