First off the location is fantastic! Close to everything in Kona on Ali’i Dr. walk out your door and you’re on the heart of Kona. The place is huge so that’s a bonus when traveling with kids, you can easily distance yourself from them when needed. Now the condo has some major flaws and in serious need of updates from top to bottom. Most importantly it needs new locks, the locks on the door are so rusted out my husband was usually the only one who could open the door; I fumbled with the lock for over 2 min to get it to open. Most everything in the condo is from the 80s-90s, including all kitchen appliances, knifes, pealing enamel in pots and pans, ( if you use a hair dryer, bring your own), pillows are horrible flat old and stained ( come on pillows are maybe $20 for 2 at Costco) the only upgrade in the unit is the tile and counter tops, but all set on original cabinets. Now for cleanliness: On the surface the unit appears clean, but it’s more like tidy but definitely not clean: all the wicker furniture is so old and has never been cleaned, you can see the dirt trapped inside the weaving, all the kitchen drawers and cabinets need a good cleaning, the vent above the stove is so full of grease it’s actually a fire hazard. The downstairs bedroom dresser smells from the built up moisture you cannot actually use it or your clothes will stink. There are maybe 10 hangers in the whole unit, so bring your own if you would like to not live out of your suitcase. I wanted to love it, but it was just ok, we didn’t spend too much time in our condo, but if you’re planning on cooking and overall spending time in the unit you may want to find something more updated. The washing machine doesn’t clean very well either so if everything in the unit is washed there.... If you have small children beware, the upstairs loft balusters are very wide and will easily fit a small or even bigger child, our 12 year old could squeeze through if he tried. We really enjoyed the perfect view of the ocean right from the lanai and the late morning sun and sunset all from one large beautiful lanai. Also know that the property it self is very strict with Covid rules for all public areas like the pool and bbq, we never once saw anyone swim in the pool, but we did, no one said anything for us staying over the 1 hr limit and not utilizing the pool for “exercise only” as the rules state. My son forgot to pull up his mask walking through the property and was scolded by one resident.
