The air conditioning was a lifesaver. The pool does have a lot of rules but it’s nice. There isn’t a beach at the condo. The sofa bed could use an upgrade.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad the air conditioning helped keep you comfortable and that you were able to enjoy the pool during your stay. We appreciate your notes as well—HOA pool rules can feel a bit strict, but they’re in place to help keep the area clean and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you also for pointing out the sofa bed; we’ll definitely take a look at that as we’re always working to improve the experience for our guests. We’re grateful you stayed with us and hope to have the chance to host you again!

We had a few issues during our stay, but staff were very helpful and attentive. The owner needs to replace the furniture as the sofa and chairs are very uncomfortable. This is a nice 2b/2b in Kona that included starter supplies. Great management company with their own maintenance staff that were pleasant to work with. Hot tub and pool were very nice, kept sparkling clean with a view of the ocean and sunset from them. BBQs are just outside the pool area and there are enough so you won’t have much if any wait to use them. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. Ample parking near the unit. AC units work well. It was a very peaceful stay.

Convenient and comfortable

The condo complex and pool was nice, right on the shoreline for great sunsets. Condo was clean with all the amenities expexted. Clean and comfortable, no complaints other than would prefer a keyless entry rather than having the lock box when you have your hands full.

Mahalo for your kind feedback! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the beautiful sunsets, comfortable condo, and the pool right on the shoreline. Your suggestion about keyless entry is well received. All of our other units have this feature, but we have not been permitted to add to this unit due to HOA restrictions. We will continue to contact the HOA to try to get permission to add keyless entry. Thank you for choosing Lanui Realty, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the Big Island soon!

Wedding week

Very nice, supplied with everything we needed. We were here for our sons wedding and it worked very well for us. The only thing negative i can think of is the tub is a little slick and the top plug of the outlets by the bed didn't seem to work. The bottom ones do? Overall it was a very nice stay.

Excellent location near downtown. Two nice sized bedrooms and two separate bathrooms. Nearly all the units in the complex have a nice view of the ocean except for a few that are on the very end of the buildings whose view is the end of the other properties. Since we were out of our room most of the time, it didn't matter that much. But if someone is booking it to spend a lot of time on the balcony and expecting a view of the ocean....they will be very disappointed. I think the entity who is renting it out should specifically state that this is NOT a water view.

Mahalo for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the convenient location near downtown and found the bedrooms and bathrooms comfortable for your stay. We appreciate you noting the view, and we understand how important that can be for guests planning to spend time on the lanai. While the listing does not advertise an ocean view, your comment is helpful, and we will review the wording to make sure it’s as clear as possible for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us and for offering constructive feedback—we truly value it. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime you’re visiting the area!
