Everything we needed. Appreciated the clean fresh bedding. The grass area out front is perfect for kids to play. Great place for families with kids.

We couldn't imagine a better place to stay while confined for days to ride out the Kona Low #2 storm! The views were amazing! Thanks, Joseph!

The condo offers great views and is a good location. Amenities were nice. However the building lacks hot water. A week of cold showers was a bit much. Scrubbing sunscreen off in cold water everyday. Smoke detectors went off at 2am one night, batteries were 4 years old. The windows and curtains in the bedroom had mold on them, the place could benefit from a through cleaning.

To begin the condo is right on the water so that is nice. Bring binoculars if you want to whale watch. You can see them but they are way out there.One thing that seemed oddly missing is that the unit has no air conditioning which seems odd but may not be for Hawaii. There are ample fans but it would have been nice to know that there was no AC. It was hot in the primary bedroom but you could get a nice breeze going if you left the front screen door open as well as the back screen door.Another thing that was oddly missing was the fact that this complex was on a shared water system--much like a hotel I guess yet I have never run out of hot water in a hotel. We came up from the beach one day at 3 pm and--you guessed it--no hot water. My husband had to shave with cold water a couple of times. This is personally a deal breaker for me.There are also ants. I was advised by Joseph that that is normal for Hawaii but again it would have been nice to know ahead of time. He indicated that he communicated this but I couldn't find any arrival or departure instructions and I've been using VRBO for a while now. He also wasn't always quick to respond with instructions when asked either.The entire place could benefit from new paint. It's not bad just needs a refresh. I have rentals as well and get the desire to maximize intake and minimize output but after a while you have to bite the bullet.The very best thing about our entire stay was the back porch. Wonderful sunset
