We stayed in this room for three nights during our trip to the Big Island. The best thing about this condo is the location to Ali'i Drive! There is plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby and within perfect walking distance. Also very close to an awesome farmers market with wonderful fresh fruit! Walmart is a very short drive. We did not use the pool but the lanai overlooking the pool area was wonderful to have! The worst thing about this condo was the parking lot. We did not have an issue finding a spot, as we always seemed lucky enough to get one of the last ones, but the spots are very narrow. I would stay here again for location alone! Thank you for sharing your wonderful place!

We only stayed one night so did not have the opportunity to use the pool or hot tub but they looked good. Unable to use screen door on the lanai as wouldn’t slide. The wifi/internet seemed intermittent. Connection not always there for the tv. Construction noise on floor above started at around 8:00 am. The bed was comfortable and rooms were clean. No safety concerns. Host was available for a phone call so that was great. Overall it was a good stay.

Our stay was beautiful, accommodations were perfect for us! The condo was well stocked with essentials as well! Parking was definitely our only “issue” but as long as you get back early, you’ll be able to find a parking spot! Parking across the road isn’t bad either, traffic is really in that area.

The location of this property is hard to beat. On site amenities, friendly property staff and well maintained common areas were a few of the highlights. Property manager was easy to communicate with. The condo was as depicted in the online photos. Beach gear (chairs, umbrella, cooler) were available. I would booked again.

Provides the basics

Overall this is a good place to stay. I gave it 4 stars because the parking was stressful. As stated in previous reviews the parking fills up pretty early. One day we got back at 5 and took the last street parking spot available. Also, we had to ask for beach towels to be provided but it seems like that should be a given. The location is fantastic, lots of restaurants within walking distance and the complex is across the street from the ocean. The property manager was prompt to respond to our requests and delivered beach towels, chairs, and a cooler to us when we asked if they could be provided. The room is basic with just the bare necessities but very clean which is always appreciated.

There was no address that linked us to the property or name of property on my receipt. Could not get ahold of owner and actually found it by chance with the address numbers we were able to get from Expedia. The map on the email was not correct. The pool and surrounding area was very nice. The condo was clean and set up well however, there was no tissue, dinner knives, can opener or any barbeque utensils to use. The one knife we had was completely dull. No plastic wrap or foil either or salt and pepper. Also the sliding glass door was very hard to open. That being said, the lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful.

Just ok

Listing bragged about full kitchen. It was ok. Was given one hand towel, No dish rag for 10 days. Usually we find at least one morning of coffee to get us through but alas, nothing. Knives were super dull. No pot holder or tongs for bbq. I did ask for a rice cooker and they did buy one but found one already there which was weird. Sliding door was a beast to open with a broken handle, which they did fix it. Had difficulties with door lock due to low batteries. Held us up as it was hard to get ahold of someone. The number i was given was a wrong number. Be prepared for having no where to put your clothes and no bedside tables. Overall, the place was clean and we made it work. Compared to other rentals weve stayed at with similar cost this was just ok. already thereNo extra blanket
