Would pay a little more for elsewhere next time
Highlights: -Short walk for sunset views and walkable location to restaurants. -Lush courtyard. Bummer Alert: Photos are outdated - place feels cluttered with mismatched furniture/tacky reupholstered couch cushions , furniture was moved leaving offset hanging items like photos and mirrors, and a cluttered and messy kitchenette (missing pictured toaster oven!), cluttered dresser and nightstand drawers closet and bathroom. Forget natural light - the only window is a large clear slider door over looking the courtyard with a blackout curtain. It's either be seen by everyone or be in artificial light. Noisy! Loud window AC from unit and neighbors plus street noise might keep you up at night. Parking was overly filled - no on-site parking for my whole 9 day stay, and the off-site area close by had homeless camps.

Perfect Spot for Us
My husband and I decided to revisit Kona for a belated anniversary celebration. We loved the location of the property: walking distance of the pier (we love to swim) and of many restaurants and shops. We watched the sunset from the little beach just across Ali’i from the property. The studio unit itself was perfect for 2 people. We used the hot pot to make tea and coffee, the toaster, the electric skillet, and the toaster oven. We typically eat a simple breakfast, then go out for either lunch or dinner, and snack as needed. We didn’t use the TV very much. We used the pool twice, I think. We like being out and about, swimming, snorkeling, playing in the water, and hiking. We enjoyed eating dinner at Kai Restaurant, getting gelato at Gypsy Gelato, and shave ice at Gecko Girlz.

Wonderful lanai and view of tropical pool area
It was quiet, convenient, economical, and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the lanai, looking out at the tropical foliage, pool and tiki torches at night. The kitchen was stocked with a lot of gadgets to be able to make all of our meals. The downside was the on island contact had a horrible attitude and was not helpful at all. The decor was hodgepodge and the couch was broken down. There was no kitchen towels or washcloths to wipe down the counters and no blanket to make the couch into the second sleeping bed. The electrical switch in the kitchen has a safety issue and when it rained, water leaked through the ceiling in front of the glass sliding door. Other than that we were very happy with this little unit.

Superb stay
The unit is basic and adequate. The pool and location are wonderful. Watching the sunset from the beach across the street is a treat. The parking is a huge challenge but no easy solution. Hope to return

Just About Perfect
Owner Larry has done a top-rate job providing the things (big and small) you might need to enjoy your time, not just in the condo, but outside activities as well. Truly thoughtful and a delightful surprise. I appreciated the full-size refrigerator and the comfortable chairs on the lanai. The condo location is fabulous; walkable to so much and situated perfectly in the beautiful complex. I never used the AC - just open the doors and the tropical breeze does the rest (with a ceiling fan assist). It was a good way to acclimate to Hawaii weather. Larry's decor is eclectic and charming. He provided nice, fluffy towels, fresh shower curtain, and all the basics I needed. If I ever come back to Kona, I hope Larry's place is available because I would love to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Larry Gahagan

Host profile image
My daughter loves to come visit the Island to visit me. I live on the Hilo side of the island. I am a happy, down to earth guy with a welcoming sense of life and living. I am always interested in travel and discovery and trying something new. I enjoy meeting open minded people who enjoy exploring new places and trying new things.

Photography is my passion. If you'd like recommendations on places to shoot on the Big Island, ask me!

Anyone who is easy-going, sociable, and loves to laugh will get along great with me.

I have one daughter living on the mainland. She is a great young professional woman.

I look forward to your stay on the Big Island. I travel the world and love to discover new places and revisit my favorite 'old' places, too.

Why they chose this property

My condo is a reminder of the earlier years in Hawaiian tourism. Immaculate gardens and pool area are the best in the village. You are within walking distance to village services, shops and numerous restaurants. One of only three royal palaces in the U.S. is just a couple blocks away.

Located in a lush tropical setting, the condo reminds us of old Hawaiian territorial style. Enjoy basking in the Hawaiian sun at the pool or hot tub, or just across the street at the beach areas. There is also a spa on site. Full laundry facilities are located on site for your convenience. The property is centrally located and is a great starting/ ending location for all your site seeing trips. You can buy great Hawaiian fresh fruits at the near by farmers market.
