South Kona Holiday Rentals

"Had ocean front room, very nic3"

"This property is located on popular Ali' i Drive, It is across this busy road from the ocean front larger units of Kona Bali Kai. The ocean view of the breaking waves can be seen through the parking garage. The one-bedroom garden units facing the street are ocean view in this manner. All units have keyless entry and is not working for this unit. Management said that is a big problem forcing us to use a key box that also exists and threatens a $150 charge if the key is lost. We never carried the key. The parking for these units can be limited and make it necessary to park in the parking garage across the busy street. This unit looked clean but had a roach problem. We found them in the kitchen flatware drawer, on the counter tops, in the bathroom and on the floor, For this reason we kept our dishes we wanted to use in the refrigerator. \ The bedroom window has wooden louvre slats that do not close. A few nights there was noise coming from outside with people chatting and laughing and every morning about 5 a.m. automatic garden sprinklers came on right outside the window. There are ceiling fans in the main room and bedroom. The ceiling lights turn on when they want to many times a night, The main area has a room air conditioner that works well to cool the room down after returning from site seeing during the day. It is not adjustable but we found the fans were enough to sleep."

"Great place to stay. Restaurant was great, pool was wonderful. Rent a car- you will need one to go anywhere."

"Gorgeous location! The apartment was fully equipped and very clean! Very close walk to the center of town. Fantastic value for the money!"

"The refrigerator was at 52°F "

"Staff was friendly. No housekeeping during our stay. Room was very large and quite outdated. We noticed some reviews mentioning cockroaches but we decided to try it out. We found a few dead cockroaches during our stay. The room had a strange smell as well. The amenities were nice, we enjoyed a hula show and learn to hula class. We were allowed an early check in and they held our luggage after check out. Overall very average and they likely have a cockroach problem. "

"Pros: Great location Friendly staff Beach access Cons: Dated rooms $35 per day parking Oceanview room (balcony) very limited even when leaning over balcony rail We stayed for 6 days and had mixed feelings for reasons above. We expected more from the Marriot brand. Room and bathroom was small with lime scale on the shower track and old chipped paint on door jams and other areas. The double queen room had a single nightstand between the beds. The website said the room was "oceanview (balcony)" which cost more. The ocean could only be seen from one chair on the balcony and that was very limited even when hanging your head over the balcony. Housekeeping was every other day. The location was very central and walkable to many restaurants and shops. Staff was very friendly. Especially at the pool. "

"This was the perfect place for us to stay while taking in the sites and enjoying in the activities of the Kona/Captain Cook area! The bed was very comfortable, everything was spotless, and the hosts were gracious. We greeted the sun every morning on the lanai with fresh coffee and a yummy breakfast--the passion fruit butter was my favorite! If you are looking for a place a little off the beaten track, this is the place for you!"

"Clean room and clean pool area. Nice breakfast."
