Air conditioning in master should be cleaned.A screen door on the west lanai would be nice and would save money.

Thank you! We’re so glad you had a great stay and appreciate you sharing these thoughtful suggestions. We’ll take a closer look to keep everything feeling fresh, comfortable, and easy to enjoy. We’d love to welcome you back with Gather for another seamless and relaxing stay.
Great location. Easy walk to shopping and dining. Appreciated the beach chairs. Little obstructed view than originally thought. Could be loud with all the street noise since we prefer the fresh air vs the air condition, but we knew what we would get. Would have liked a little more storage for our personal belongings. Kitchen and amenities were great. Parking garage was a little wonky with all the structural work going on, but we figured out how to navigate around it. Easy access in and out of building. Communication with hosts has easy with fast responses. Nice week.

We loved staying here. Every thing was short walking distance in town. Outside of town 90 minutes got you to everything you want to see from green beach to very top of Mauna Kea. Plan on returning next year and other than a few days in Hilo hope to return to this condo!

Great location . You could walk to Kailua bay, restaurants a plenty and tons of shopping. Condo had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We used the beach chairs and umbrella. Lanai was a great place to sit and relax and people watch.
Totally enjoyed our stay!

This condo is clean and well equipped, with many supplies such as soap, laundry detergents provided. It also has a partial view of the ocean from the living room, kitchen or balcony. Also centrally located, it’s a short walk to the beach and many shops and restaurants.

We appreciate your feedback about the condo. It's great to know that it's clean, well-equipped, and that many supplies are provided for your convenience. The partial view of the ocean from various parts of the condo must have been a lovely bonus. Being centrally located, close to the beach, shops, and restaurants, adds to its appeal. If your travels bring you back to the area, we'd be delighted to host you again. Thank you for sharing your experience!
The property is located in a great spot with many shops and restaurants within quick walking distance. The view is ok and the nearby beach isn’t anything great. The property was super clean which was appreciated. The check in process was overly complicated and annoying though with info required on each guest and multiple forms that has to be filled out. Overall was a good experience but if we come back we will stay at Hilo as we didn’t find Kona to be impressive at all.
The location is good for access to shops, etc. on Ali’i Drive but a bit overpriced for what you get. For example, there are several fancy hotels nearby that have a daily rate per person for less and with more amenities as long as you don’t want to cook.

Amazing location in the heart of Kona. Lanai overlooks Alii and Pancho and Lefty’s. Easy to get anywhere in Kona by foot. 2 nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Solid pullout couch for bed 3. Recommended!
