In Town Ocean View Condo-Walk to the Beach, Shops, Restaurants and Bars!

We were very happy with the condo. The location is excellent, easy walk to town, beaches and stores. Erika was very helpful and the communication was strong.

Property was in excellent location. A little dated but clean. Bed was good. Lots of Restaurants that were walkable.

Erika’s home was a great place to stay for our visit to the big island. Erika checked in to make sure we had no issues finding and gaining access. The process was easy and detailed. We could walk to many restaurants, bars, coffee shops and shopping in general. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

In case you missed it, this condo has no dishwasher. Plan to wash everything down before using it. Some of the pans were a bit greasy or sticky to the touch. We hand washed everything before using it. This condo is on the third floor. There are two flights of stairs plus a few steps leading up to the building. Getting up those stairs with our luggage was not the easiest task. The pictures show a beautiful open space with a loft. Those pictures are accurate. However, there weren't window coverings on the loft windows. So, we were awake every morning with the sun...about 5:45 a.m. If you, like me, need a reasonable dark space to sleep, bring or plan to purchase eye coverings. The pictures depict the furniture in the unit. The furniture depicted is accurate. However, the patio chairs are very tough to sit on for an extended period. I needed to work remotely several hours a day for my job and this is the only space that made sense to work on. I had to go to Walmart and buy cushions for the patio chairs because my back started to bother me after a couple of days. If you will need to work remotely from this unit , consider purchasing something for additional comfort. There are bugs. We found bugs in the kitchen and in the downstairs bathroom. We contacted Erika and she thinks they come up through the drains. There was no extermination while we were there for three weeks. Family members staying in condo complex across the street were provided with a monthly exterminator visit schedule. In this unit, fighting the bugs will be your responsibility but Erika will let you know what to do if you ask. The only table for dining is outside on the patio. No matter how often I cleaned that table, there were still small bugs crawling around on it while we were eating. I'd recommend planning to eat at the kitchen counter where there are two bar stools. If you intend to use the table, you'll need to plan to buy a tablecloth that you wash after each meal or eat with the bugs. In order to minimize the bugs, we took the trash out each day. As I mentioned above, this is a third story condo and there is no elevator. You'll need to bring your trash out to a dumpster across from the building in the parking lot. Kona has a homeless problem that is evident in the neighborhood around the building. While we never felt unsafe, the homeless are hard to miss in this neighborhood. Erika was responsive and very helpful whenever I contacted her.
