Hawaii in September

We have stayed at 212 at least 8 times. The location couldn't be any better. Over the years things are wearing out, especially in the kitchen. The blender has no lid, the toaster sets off the smoke alarm, the kitchen faucet sprays out the top when put on full and under the sink is not clean. It is a great place, just showing its age and needs some upgrades. I understand what being this close to the ocean and salt water can do to any metal so a little rust doesn't bother me. The wrap around deck is the best place for views.

July Stay

We have stayed in 212 seven times. I is a great location and we love it. I would rate it higher as we have before but the kitchen is in need of an upgrade. We were traveling with six family members from Italy who stayed in two other rooms. Both rooms had better kitchens. The cabinets were dated and not as clean as in the past and the refrigerator need to be upgraded to a model with an ice maker. Again, i am being a little picky, but the other rooms were cheaper and seemed to be more modern and cleaner. But don't get me wrong, we love it there. The view is amazing and it is walking distance to town.

This condo is all about the location. A corner unit - You’re literally on the water and the view is fantastic. All the restaurants are an easy walk and sunsets from the balcony are amazing. The unit could use some updates, but it’s clean and functional. Highly Recommended - will be back

The kitchen was fully functional with everything needed to prepare meals. The wrap around lanai over the water was perfect. The management team was over the top, the best! Downtown Kailua, Kona was completely walkable. My wife and I would highly recommend this property.

Everything was wonderful. The unit is small but great use of space and was very comfortable for the two of us. We loved the wrap around lanai and appreciated the high bar stool bistro set and spent most of our time out there. Tracy was very responsive to any questions we had. It is a perfect location and within walking distance to downtown Kona with plenty of shops and restaurants.

Great location! Close enough to town to walk. This was the most time we’ve ever spent at a property relaxing. The wrap-around lanai was great for lounging, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The covered parking was a bonus, too.

Lovely spot, beautiful wraparound lanai with a fabulous view. Small but nice pool. Private parking spot. Just a 20 minute walk to the Kailua pier and tons of restaurants and shops on the way. We would certainly stay there again!

Host was very responsive, the place was clean and well-equipped. Of course the view is extraordinary. I would add as one who focuses on scuba diving, this place was perfect. Short drive to Honokohau Hatbor. Elevators and nearby parking garage for lugging gear. Large lanai for drying gear (but do not hang over rails). And they actually have a sign at the pool that says it’s OK to rinse your gear in the poolside shower. I will definitely be back.

STUNNING. You can see the ocean from every room except the bathroom.

The view is incredible and has a GREAT patio with various seating options. The bed is fine, they have LOTS to do in the condo itself (games, books, beach toys), but the location is the real star. It is close enough to walk to shopping, but not quite in the middle of any loud bars or hotels, so it's quiet. I can't say "the view is incredible" enough, so the view is incredible!

Beautiful oceanfront location. Watching turtles, fish, and eels from the balcony every morning was a highlight. This condo has beach chairs, an umbrella, and small cooler so we were set for the beach. We walked to Kailua Kona and to local small beaches but still recommend a car because you don’t want to miss Kohala beaches or Volcanoes park and they require a drive. The only drawback of this condo is that it feels damp but we understood that this will happen when your balcony is literally 20 feet above the surf.

2 weeks in paradise

We've stayed here several times before. You just can't beat the location. Being so close to Kona allowed us to not have to worry about parking because we could easily walk to anywhere on Ali'i. Ample restaurants and shops and a farmers market with fresh fruits made it very convenient. All in all, a great two weeks!
