The condo is perfect for a week long stay! The kitchen is perfect for cooking meals, from pots to spices and oils thee is everything you need to feed a family. There are even 2 coffee makers, a ninja blender and insta pot!
The bathrooms and rooms are clean and comfortable with tons of pillows.
We enjoyed coming back to our condo after a day out and being able to chill out with a good home cooked meal. The pool in extra awesome to lounge in after a day of adventures.
Having a person on island to contact with any questions was super helpful.
We love staying here! This was our second time.

Great central location in Kona! The building itself has some issues (structural issues makes parking complex and the key to accesss paring) but the unit it self is fantastic and well maintained with comfortable furnishings and a well stocked kitchen.

Our bedroom had lots of tiny bugs which flew at times. Text the property management and they did nothing about it. Had to close my luggage every time I took out something to make they did not get in. Did not get much sleep each night due to bugs.

We had a a good 5-day stay here in Kailua. Location was perfect for us--near a grocery store, book store, walks along the bay, etc. Nice lanai, just note the view is not of the water. As noted by previous travelers, you'll receive some official emails in all CAPS from the mgmt company, but if you send a question to them a nice human responds.

Pros: owner responsive, location in middle of Kona, multiple copies of everything you need for the beach, lots of fans (they are needed)
Cons: Listing says building has central AC. Upon arrival place was 85 and learned building AC hasn’t worked in years. There’s a large floor AC in the bedroom that cooled off that room, living room stayed hot. Listing needs to be corrected.
Check-in and check- out instructions were overwhelming.
As mentioned in other reviews, lots of furniture in the living room. To use either murphy bed, must move large recliners into hallway. And upon leaving, must put everything back and wash bedding.
Summary: If you are a small group, want to be downtown Kona, don’t worry about AC, and spend your time at the beach this may work for you.

We had a fantastic stay at this short-term rental! The unit was well-equipped with air conditioning, which was a huge relief during the hot days. Having laundry facilities available was incredibly convenient, especially for a longer stay. The location was perfect—everything we needed was within walking distance, and the parking situation was unbeatable. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

We had a nice staycation, for the weekend. The rooms where just right and comfy. A/C worked great after working a long day in the sun. Small kine difficulty with the wifi but the manager contacted us to let us know to rebut the system. Other than that everything worked out just fine.

Older property. A/C in liv rm only. Fan in bedroom on, on high speed continuously no on/off switch. No bath mats 4 floors. Master vanity pretty small & useless. Entry door rusty. Screens on lanai lots of big holes. Doors to lanai easily locked you on it. Nothing like plastic wrap or a pair of scissors provided. No beach towels, but 2 beach chairs only,cooler & 2 tiny freezer packs. Overall, needs work & better cleaning.

I have stayed in this building before, a different condo, and I can say this one was a great surprise, it was large and had an open concept living / kitchen area. The patio is huge and wraps around so you can also see the mountains. The furniture / beds / sofa / patio set were all very nice, as was the washer / dryer and bathrooms.
The patio is a bit noisy, but that is what you trade off for being right in the middle of town and can walk everywhere. Loved the place and will definitely be back!

The instructions on checking in and checking out were great. The unit was clean and ready to go. The location was great for being able to walk to activities and food locations. The AC units worked well too. Only thing of note is the rather small washing machine and the direction to not leave more than two loads at the end of the stay to be washed or an additional fee will be charged. When using the pullout couch and washing comforters/quilts, it would take several loads to get this request accomplished with the small machine. Overall a great stay here! Would stay again for sure.

Many positives for this condo: nice lanai, comfy living room, fine kitchen/dining, good location. Nice compact w/d units, which we used. Lanai was outfitted with nice chairs, day-bed. Parking is a must in Kona and great to have with this unit, in garage below, or small lot on main level. Also, a lot of beach items for customer's use: chairs, cooler, etc. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and condo was in a great location for wedding activities we were in Kona to attend.
An unfortunate aspect of this unit must be mentioned, however. The mattresses are not comfortable. Mattresses need to be replaced, plain and simple.

This was the perfect set up for our family of 7. Private bedrooms for the adults and plenty of space for the kids in the two beds in the living space. Location really sells this place. One minute walk to the heart of town. Lots of restaurants, shops, and super close to the ocean. Another huge perk is parking. Since most public parking isn’t free anymore, having a secured underground parking space included with our stay was a huge plus.

Absolutely loved the convenience of the location for attending a wedding at Hulihe'e Palace. Was also wonderful for the walkability to all the restaurants and sites on Alii Dr.
The unit was comfortably furnished with an island vibe. Lots of extras - beach equipment, cooler, beach towels, etc. We'll equipped kitchen. The unit was very quiet. It would be more comfortable with better air conditioning.
Called management company about one of the ceiling fans not working, they said they would send someone to check it out, but this never happened.
We would definitely consider staying here again

First of all, the "ocean view" is a joke. The picture they show on the listing is about 5% of the view that is actually of A/C units on the building in front & tarps on the roof on the dilapidated building across the street. I wish I could upload the real photo. The only table & chairs are outside on the lanai, but you are not able to use it past 9pm unless you sit in silence. Apparently, the daily leaf blowers before 8am, the truck emptying the dumpster almost daily at 3am, the noise from the restaurant next door early in the morning, the constant motorcycles with loud pipes driving not only on the main street but the side street right next to the bedroom and the car alarm sounding for 10 minutes at 7am doesn't bother the HOA but us outside after 9 does. The rental co was very nice and easy to deal with, but I will not stay there again bc of the HOA. We have stayed at many places in multiple states and have never had any issues or noise complaints before, but this property must be next to an HOA officer since they camped out by our walkway one night as an intimidation tactic when got back from dinner. Neither bathroom is attached to a bedroom. 2 beach chairs, umbrella, towels & cooler were provided. The beds were OK, the A/C was great and the kitchen was stocked but do yourself a favor and rent a unit on the side next to the church. We had family staying there and it was super peaceful. The location is convenient, but don't stay on the front side facing the street.

We have stayed in this complex before, but first time in 402. The management company is top notch, from the welcome basket to communication, all nice touches. The unit itself is a little outdated, but everything worked and it had everything we needed. Access is via an electronic key pad on the door and it has a keyed security door. The view is better from the 4th floor. The location of this plaza is perfect, which is the best part of staying here. The parking garage is under construction, but we never had an issue finding a parking spot. The parking garage is only accessible via the elevator which requires a key to get to that level. Defya secure place.

We have stayed at other nice properties in this building during prior visits to the Big Island, but will now ALWAYS book this specific unit! Spacious and beautifully decorated, with EVERY possible amenity thoughtfully provided - from sunscreen lotions, snorkle masks and coolers, to a generous supply of bath and beach towels, dish and clothes washer soaps, and a kitchen very well stocked with cooking supplies. Newer appliances all in great condition. The air conditioning was so comfortable to come "home" too after warm days in the sun. We could tell the cleaning crew used is top-notch - we didn't even feel a spec of sand beneath our feet when walking barefoot across the cool tiled floors (and we also cared well for the property and avoided tracking sand into the unit), and all counters and surfaces free of any grime. Comfortable beds, lots of storage space, great living room layout for socializing. And the deck-balcony - whoa! HUGE, wrap around with access from both the living room and the master bedroom. We enjoyed meals outside on the covered balcony (shelter from the sun and occasional shower), watching the passerbuys on the quaint shopping street and a bonus was the nice view of the water as well. Overall, the best stay we have had on our travels to the Islands! Thank you!

We spent a LOT of time on the patio because the view was amazing. Bed was very comfy. Central location. We were able to walk to most restaurants and bars. Parking was great.
Only thing is we were told NOT to use the concierge for anything but "reservations". When we went to other hotels we were able to use the concierge for questions and suggestions for local things to do so we asked the people at the restaurants or other visitors for info about the area. Kind of disappointed in the limitations for using concierge.
We had to save over a year to be able to go to Hawaii so we really can't thank you enough for making our vacation special.

We loved this property and its location. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed ourselves very much. The management company was very professional and responsive when needed. The only draw back is that the pictures advertising this apartment are long out of date. The changes in the apartment are minimal and can be understood however the degraded tarps on the businesses across the street are quite the eye sore. This is no fault of the owner of this apartment rental property but surely takes away from their lovely view from the balcony.
