Clean and comfortable with an excellent location. But atrocious parking situation.
Location! We walked to the market almost every morning to get fresh fruit and pastries. Walked to Hulihe'e Palace and many shops and restaurants. If not for the parking I could easily give this a 4 star rating.

What a gem! This location is very central to the main beach attractions, stores, restaurants, etc. This stay had laundry facilities, pool and a bbq area for guests to use. The unit was clean and comfortable. It has a nice patio for enjoying drinks or a meal outside to soak up the sunset or sunrise. We loved our stay and would book again.
I loved that the property is central to many restaurants, beach & farmer’s market. I would definitely come back. You don’t need to rent a vehicle unless you want to explore the island .

We aim to make the price of our rentals as completely transparent as possible and provide a breakdown of each cost you pay towards the rental before, and throughout the booking process, including all fees and taxes.
Lovely atmosphere, great pool, great lanai, comfy bed. Night security would be an asset due to noise at night since nobody was available to address any problems. 2 rolls of TP for 3 weeks, not enough. We were disappointed with Vacasa's exorbitant fees.
The place was clean and in super convenient location - right in the heart of shopping and restaurants. Had no issues with parking. Check in process took some work. I had to call to get the correct key code to the door, but once that was resolved it was great.

Great location!
If you’re looking for something in the heart of downtown Kona, then this is your place. It’s walking distance to all the restaurants and shopping center. Down the street is the farmers market.
Also was easy to get Ubers going in and out of there. If you’re a towel user, I would suggest asking for extra towels before hand, as the front desk doesn’t have extra towels.
The front desk was very helpful.
There was a woman working there, beautiful grey hair, and she was amazing and very helpful.
All in all we had a great experience!
Great location to stay at! We were in walking distance of a lot of shops and food. Perfect size for my wife and I, and had a comfortable bed. Just be aware that parking is limited and is first come, first served basis. We were lucky enough to find some parking right in front on the street when we got back on some late nights. Even the street parking out front are limited, so not sure where we would have parked had those all filled up too. Just something to consider. Other than that, we would book again.
2 things are important for me and my wife: comfortable bed and white noise from a cold AC. This had both. The location is in walking distance from everything. People complain about the front desk lady, but she was awesome. I can understand some people might be short tempered after a long day of travel. Parking can be tough after 3PM. Parking spots are tight. Good shower. No road noise facing the street. Would stay here again.

Hi, James. Thank you for providing us with this valuable feedback. We are so glad that you had a wonderful time at our beautiful home. We thank you for your feedback, as it helps us improve our guests' experiences. We look forward to welcoming you back for another fabulous getaway in the future.
Unit has been recently remodeled and is nicely done. Shower is small as they are in all units, but the tile work in it is excellent. Decor is very nice and color coordinated. The only thing the unit needs is a 6 to 8 draw dresser, no space to put a weeks worth of clothing for two people. Small closet bring extra hangers for your hanging clothes. Bed was quite confortable.

NO ALOHA HERE
Instead of memories we had an ordeal. After check-in we had a major hours-long challenge getting into the unit. Over the next 2 days we contacted 7 people most of whom did not respond, made unkept promises or provide actual help. We were told the coded lock is indeed “tricky” but an override key was in a lock box no one knew the code for. Once a single override key was finally provided, we had to then decide where we went, when we went and how we could get back in. Booking a vacation rental should allow for unfettered entry and access as well as piece-of-mind none of which was provided.

We understand how important a smooth arrival is, and it’s clear this situation fell short of expectations. We're glad you were eventually able to access the unit and understand your preference to use the key for the remainder of your stay. We'll be reviewing this experience with our team to ensure better communication and support going forward. We hope for the chance to welcome you back under much smoother circumstances.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience,
Donato,we regret to hear that we were unable to provide you with a pleasant stay. We truly apologize for the door lock issues you experienced. We will follow up with the appropriate parties regarding your experience to discuss preventative measures and ensure the continued enjoyment of our future guests. We look forward to welcoming you back for a wonderful getaway in the future!
The host communicated well when we got locked out a number of times (code to door failed) but when we asked why we received an extra charge of over 300 USD after we booked, radio silence. It is an older property and not as clean as we would have expected for the price (curtains stained/bed an older box spring and mattress with old foam on top). AC is also very loud. Pool area was only okay and the beach advertised was not used as the area is has a sad number of people experiencing homelessness.

Don't let the pictures fool you..
First off let me state the pros. Location is great. Walkable to restaurants and shopping. Everywhere is easily accessible from car as well. The negatives are both preference and obvious. The pictures look like it's a cute studio recently updated. It's not. The unit could use a good painting and scrub down. The floors have a lot of damage and sound hollow and loud when you walk on them. We had a hard time with one sink that is used for dishes but also washing your hands after you use the restroom. Working in the medical profession ummm no. The front lobby staff could be a little more pleasant. That's all just preference. The biggest problem just to be aware that can not be changed is parking. It's horrendous!! There is limited availability on the property so you park on the street if you can't find a spot there you park across the street. If that's full then you're s.o.l. because everyone parks like doo doo there. I feel bad for families with little kids trying to navigate that trainwreck of a parking situation. The place is not horrible but I would consider searching or paying a little bit more.
Great location, within walking distance to fun shops, restaurants, and the water. The front door lock was very finicky and annoying, but other than that the place was exactly as described and what we expected.
