A perfect, simple spot - couldn’t have had a better location, it is just a few steps from the ocean as well as the best restaurants and shopping in all of Kona
Well worth it, recommend!
We loved our short stay. Too bad we couldn't stay longer. Very cute condo with a beautiful courtyard with pool and hot tub. Conveniently located within walking distance of the shops, bars and restaurants on Ali'i.
Parking in the area was very limited but we were able to check in early just to get a spot. Extremely close to restaurants and shops. Studio was clean and compact the only downside was no good location to plug in my CPAP. Minor, since I slept well without it. Would use again.
Nice to be able to walk to town. Everything was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. The sofa was lumpy and we could never get the TV channels to work but we weren't in our room very much.
I wanted a simple place to acclimate before moving on to other accommodations. This was the perfect place to gain our bearings for 2 nights. Parking sucked but was no big deal.

Checking in was uninformative. Getting into the unit was like having to half break down the door. Stood on a chair to turn on the inefficient air conditioner because remote wouldn’t work. Asked at check in location about wi/fi connection. I was told to message the owner as they know nothing about that. The entire place is old and shabby. I initially had to send out three different messages before I was even given the address to this place. I do not recommend.
The studio was nice and comfortable. Very convenient location close to Farmer’s market. Parking is available. A/C was very helpful in July. There were actually two small refrigerators. Great value for the price.
Make sure you know that there is not an elevator on property so if you’re not on the first floor it will be difficult with luggage. Also, during our stay, there was rarely someone at the front seat which makes getting help difficult. CeCe the property owner was amazing and very helpful. We just had to ask all our questions over messages due to the absent desk attendant.

Guest summary
Room was clean and well equipped… There was a phone number provided for communication so I used it and the host rudely said do not text me. Please use the communication app which I was having trouble with… Also, I was hoping for early check-in as nobody was in the room, but That took a while and the host did not seem accommodating. So that was the only real negative to the experience.

Host is not hospitable . Warning!!!
The condo was a beautiful location, loved the view of the property, very tropical. the Room itself is just a room to sleep in , most of the time we spent exploring the island. The host, however, is cheap. No coffee in the room . Vo5 for shampoo. She will charge you extra for the use of the space and items there . It’s best not to go to the beach and track sand back into the house and please don’t use her towels or other amenities in the room otherwise she will charge you extra! I cleaned up some spilled coffee with the kitchen towel she had there and she wants me to replace it instead of just washing it . Same with the bath towels. We used them , She wants us to replace them instead of just washing them. She said we flooded the patio 😂 and sent a ridiculous picture of ice melting that we dumped out a small cooler. I thought the ice would dry up pretty quickly seeing how it’s so hot there but now she needs a deep clean for that and sweeping up some sand charging $75. She’s absolutely ridiculous with her expectations. Definitely recommend the condo itself however avoid this room specifically because of the host .

Only complaint is the door to the apartment was very challenging to close. The top corner was warped from moisture causing having to slam the door making a lot of noise and then slam your shoulder in the door in order to secure from inside the apartment.
Parking was limited when arriving in the evening, had to park off the busy highway.
