Great location

Everything was perfect. We got the necessary info from the owner late in the day we arrived, which was fine, but I would have had less anxiety if I had received the key code and a phone contact number earlier. The location is great for proximity to the main drag in Kona, nearby stores and restaurants and easy access to the highway and airport.

Wonderful in town condo

We have stayed in a 1 BR condo here, this was our first trip with friends to the island. Walking distance to so much is a big plus. Not as fully stocked a kitchen as the previous rental, but with 5 staying, we opted to go out more. Friendly neighborhood outdoor kitty made us feel quite at home. Comfy beds, adequate AC.

Great stay

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this property. Our family unit included myself, my husband, 17 yo stepson and a 4 month old infant. It was perfect for what we needed, walking distance to town and the water and a nice space for when our infant needed some home time. If you are planning to have some beach time, this place is so well stocked for it. Beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, snorkeling gear, it was all available for use. First Island Reality was also great to work with. We had some issues getting into the unit and they responded immediately and were very helpful. I would recommend this place and would stay here again.

Close to traffic

Not used to loud traffic driving by all hours of the night. Couldn’t sleep. In morning you could hear dogs barking and curtains in bedroom weren’t blackout so sun shone through in early morning. Otherwise the condo was very nice and efficient would have been nice to have washer/dryer in unit. We were grateful for laundry area close by with the pool. We did enjoy our stay.

Everything was great till we had problems with power outage, kept going on and off. We had to keep turning the switch on and off for an hour. No manager came to help us or check what was the problem.
