Beautiful

This property was amazing with a beautiful view of the ocean and sunset every night. The condo was clean, comfy, and had everything we could ask for. The pool and hot tub were the perfect ending to each day. This was one of the best stays I’ve had with VRBO.

Review of F13

We enjoyed our stay. The room was as described. We found the view from the balcony a little better than the picture shows. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and having breakfast. Easy walk into old Kona Town. We would stay there again

Great Location

This was a nice place to stay. It was very clean and had beach toys for guest use. I did need to contact the owner about wifi not working. He was very quick to respond and Jim helped immediately to get us the correct account. I do recommend renting a car if you stay here. There are many beaches you will want to visit that are not in walking distance. I would stay here again.

General Review

We booked this property because we wanted to be close to our friends. Generally, the property is pretty good. The proximity to the restaurants and shops is the best part of this property. The pool deck is good, the view from the deck is excellent. The actual room is not impressive nor clean. Who ever is cleaning should be fired, the room and all of its items are gross. No way to sugar coat this, there are just so many areas they need to be deep cleaned that are not being addressed. The cable tv does not work, the accessories provided are worn or broken. Just know you’re paying for location, not the room experience.

Loved the property but not the unit.

Traffic noise was pretty bad. The maintenance guy had to show up twice. Once to try to fix the cable tv, which he couldn't and the other to fix the router and to reset garbage disposal which wasn't working. Otherwise the unit was functional if not fancy.. The common areas were well maintained including the pool.. The location is hard to beat. I would stay at the property again but not that unit. .

Overall it had a great view and was ok. Lacking in the kitchen cooking utensils. Frying pan was so gross I wouldn't use it. Can opener wouldn't work, and the coffee pot is only a little 4 cup size. Slidingg door wouldn't lock, however called to have it fixed and he came right out. Worked once. View and grounds are lovely but condo needs some care. No knobs on table lamps to turn them on. Had to mess with the bare metal to get one on.

Not updated in 20 years, dark, dirty,

We arrived to a dark hall and unable to see the key pad, had to get a flashlight to get in and to use several appliances. Rooms dark missing extension cords, unable to secure patio door, screen door fell out of track and very difficult to operate. bedding required washing prior to use, floors and closet floors filthy. trash under bed. lamp switches would not work only two spoons in kitchen. the view is the only positive. bedroom is next to busy noisey road. Inadequate cleaning supplies, fixtures falling off walls It is a condo from the past with everything worn and barley working. The complex ihowver is very nice and there are many nice units that are kept up by owners. The units owners are in florida and haven't been to the property in 20 some years per their maintenance person and they avoid any expenses to update the unit unless needed (washer/dryer) flooded the unit with the prior guest there, so it was replaced. Beware of this lower priced unit..there is a reason.

Outdated, Poorly Maintained!

The place was smelly, it had strong musty smell, it was very hard to sleep at night because the AC is in the living room and the bedroom had one dirty fan. We were very concerned about mold issues. Curtains were ripped, balcony screen door was dislodged. AC & fan filters were filthy. Kitchen and bathroom were not properly cleaned. Mattress is dated and very uncomfortable. Basic stuff were missing like beach towels and wine opener! The pictures of the L shaped sofa at VRBO site does not match the actual smaller sofa in the condo! We contacted the owner, he sent the maintenance guy and cleaner two days later, they tried their best but it really requires deep cleaning and better maintenance. We feel that we wasted few days of our trip dealing with all of that and looking for another place, but everything was booked. When we had no choice but to stay at this place I asked the housekeeper to come clean the place but she never responded. We’re expecting a partial refund but we haven’t received anything yet. VRBO offered us two days at a hotel, even though our reservation is five nights, but we couldn’t find anything that has a fridge & kitchen. I emailed VRBO twice inquiring about their promise for a partial refund as the second option and called them but no response yet!!!
