GET LOST IN PARADISE!! Absolute BEST location with direct ocean front view at historic Alii Drive. This unit is upgraded with tropical island theme. We are 15 mins from the Kona airport and ocean fronting!!!
FAST INTERNET!! for those of you decided to escape to paradise to work!!
We have a kitchenette, pots and pans, plates and cups, wine glasses to beach chairs.
Kona Town is right next door with open air eateries, live music, outdoor market next door.
My husband & I enjoyed our stay in the studio. The view of the ocean is awesome and the convenience to restaurants, coffee shops and other shopping is nice.
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.
Love this place! Spent hours on the lanai watching the ocean and the people. It is close to the farmer's market and the little kitchen was stocked with everything I needed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 couldnât get a spot in the lot. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the condo and would stay again.
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.
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!
I chose to not rent a car and this location was wonderful. Street noise is loud. Clean. Trouble with accessing wifi and tvâŠ.minor inconvenience.
Thoughtful set up suitable for a longer stay.
I would return.
