I highly recommend this property! The ocean view from the deck was spectacular! The property was very spacious and clean, with easy reserved parking. In the heart of downtown Kona with plenty of restaurants and stores within steps of the front entrance. Under property condition I gave it 3 stars because it is dated and needs some renovation, but the location, ocean view and cleanliness to me outweighed that. Also, communication with the property manager was 5 star! Overall I would definitely come back!

Enjoyed our stay

We had a lovely stay. Loved the central AC and fan, the two bathrooms, and waking up to the sound of the ocean. The only thing I didn't love was the feeling of the floor tiles, I know the floor was probably cleaned but the texture of the tiles made it feel like it wasn't so. However, it didn't negatively impact our stay. Also, was concerned about pests in the Big Island, but we didn't see a single pest. So overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Great location

Great location, yes a bit noisy at night but understandable due to location and only for a few nights. Other nights were quiet. Coffee & Breakfast on balcony in mornings watching sunrise & ocean & hearing ocean-priceless! Well appointed kitchen for all our needs. Parking spot is tight, so don’t get a giant rental. Small SUV fit tightly but it fit.

THE KITCHEN LIGHTING IS THE WORST. THIS LOCATION IS NOISY BUT CONVENIENT TO EVERYTHING. THANKFULLY THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES WORK WELL. KEEPING THE GLASS DOORS CLOSED HELPS WITH THE NOISE.

Condo well appointed. Location not so great.

For people who want to stay in the heart of restaurant and shops, this would be OK, but the noise level on the street made this second floor condo less than desirable. Indeed, there was a view of the water, but the photo online didn’t show quite the extent of the very thick powerline and power poles There was a warning about noise, but it was worse than I expected with the bass thumping of car radios as they drove by on the main drag just below me. The assigned parking space was oddly shaped and right up against the building wall. I am amazed I didn’t take my side mirror off. The fact that there was an elevator, and that you needed a key to get in was good.

Great location for in town

I was thrilled with the location and assigned parking, making it a great location to stroll the waterfront or head out in a car to explore farther locations on the island. We were disappointed with the cleanliness (mainly the floor), lack of renovation in the second bath. We removed shoes when we checked in (as we usually do in homes in Hawaii), and later found the bottom of our feet were black. Didn't go barefoot after that! While the listing mentioned the upgraded kitchen (true), the second bath was a big disappointment! A very sloppy job was done to remove the bathtub to create a very small shower and room for the stacked washed dryer. The tub faucet was left on the wall of the "new" shower to bang your shins against! Also the door was looking pretty ragged with a lot of corrosion - just looked out of place with the kitchen updating. The location was everything we hoped it would be, just a little disappointed with the cleanliness and lack of updating throughout the unit to match the kitchen.

Absolutely loved this property. Cannot beat the view -having coffee and wine on the balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean was amazing , we love to people watch so we enjoyed watching the activity on Ali’i. Walked to dinner every night. Bed was comfortable and we slept great . Having a designated parking spot was a plus. I saw other comments about the telephone wires and noise - but we didn’t have an issue with either. Slept with AC on for white noise at night, Just FYI, there are two beach chairs , two boogie boards and two ice chests there as well .

Ocean view and breeze

Our family of 3 loved this condo. The Lani was our favorite spot when not exploring the island. It had a great view of the bay and always had a breeze. For us, the location was perfect along the main strip of downtown Kona with many eating establishments, attractions and beautiful sunsets. Central location to other parts of the island make quick and easy access to beaches, snorkeling, surfing and not a bad drive to volcano National park. Ac was beneficial for sleeping at night on humid days in August. There is somewhat of a homeless population on the island but the security to the building and it’s facilities was excellent! Condo was well stocked for our needs. We consider this unit a great value for a small family or couple.

Very well equipped condo in the heart of entertainment and shopping area. Property management was very easy to communicate with and accommodating. Nice having a full kitchen and washer/dryer in the unit. Only negative for us was the noise levels from the very busy street and nightlife below. For some, I recognize this proximity would be a plus. But if you want a quiet seaside experience, be aware. Overall, we really enjoyed the stay!
