RENOVATED Kona Studio By The Ocean!!!

Very clean condo and there were a few extras available like an ice chest and snorkle gear.

Great location and we loved the lanai

Our recent stay at this VRBO property was an absolute disaster, forcing us to check out within 12 hours due to uninhabitable conditions. We immediately had to seek alternative accommodation at another hotel, incurring significant unexpected costs and disrupting our travel plans. Upon arrival, we were met with multiple serious issues: Bug Infestation: We discovered clear evidence of bugs on the mattresses, including visible bugs and their droppings. This is a severe health and safety concern and made the property impossible to sleep in. We are contemplating legal action Widespread Pest Problem: there was a noticeable ant infestation throughout the property, including in the kitchen and living areas. Unacceptable Cleanliness: The overall cleanliness was appalling. We found dirty utensils and mugs in the kitchen, indicating a lack of proper sanitation between guests. Safety Hazard with TV: The television setup presented a clear safety hazard, with insecure mounting that posed a risk of falling. Completely Unresponsive Host: Despite the severity of these issues, attempts to contact the host were met with complete unresponsiveness, leaving us without any support or resolution during our critical time of need. The combination of these critical issues made the property unsafe, unsanitary, and entirely unsuitable for a stay. We expected a safe and clean environment, and what we encountered was a stark contrast. This experience was incredibly stressful and costly.

Our stay was beautiful, accommodations were perfect for us! The condo was well stocked with essentials as well! Parking was definitely our only “issue” but as long as you get back early, you’ll be able to find a parking spot! Parking across the road isn’t bad either, traffic is really in that area.

The place is very comfortable and quite and have everything that we need. I liked hanging out and eating at the porch that is overlooking the pool and lush garden. I will certainly stay at this place again.

We were happy with the location as it was in central Kailua area with easy walks to water & retaurants etc. It was quiet and had a nice hot tub, pool and green areas.

There was no address that linked us to the property or name of property on my receipt. Could not get ahold of owner and actually found it by chance with the address numbers we were able to get from Expedia. The map on the email was not correct. The pool and surrounding area was very nice. The condo was clean and set up well however, there was no tissue, dinner knives, can opener or any barbeque utensils to use. The one knife we had was completely dull. No plastic wrap or foil either or salt and pepper. Also the sliding glass door was very hard to open. That being said, the lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful.

Nice and clean. We would go again.

Had a beautiful view of the bay.

A quiet retreat from a busy area. The grounds were well kept and the Property owner was very prompt in responding to any questions. It was clear that the owner understands the needs of visitors by providing beach towels, coolers inflatable gear for the swimming pool, etc.

We only stayed one night so did not have the opportunity to use the pool or hot tub but they looked good. Unable to use screen door on the lanai as wouldn’t slide. The wifi/internet seemed intermittent. Connection not always there for the tv. Construction noise on floor above started at around 8:00 am. The bed was comfortable and rooms were clean. No safety concerns. Host was available for a phone call so that was great. Overall it was a good stay.

We stayed in this room for three nights during our trip to the Big Island. The best thing about this condo is the location to Ali'i Drive! There is plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby and within perfect walking distance. Also very close to an awesome farmers market with wonderful fresh fruit! Walmart is a very short drive. We did not use the pool but the lanai overlooking the pool area was wonderful to have! The worst thing about this condo was the parking lot. We did not have an issue finding a spot, as we always seemed lucky enough to get one of the last ones, but the spots are very narrow. I would stay here again for location alone! Thank you for sharing your wonderful place!

Apartment was clean, easy check in and communication with host. Parking was convenient with options. Great location for walking access to the entire Bay Area. Also a good location for drivable day trips. Strongly recommend.

Wish the hot tub was working! Great location, Blackout blinds would be good Perhaps a days worth of coffee until we buy Overall really happy with the place!

Had no issues at all every thing was great, very clean and it couldn't be in a better location on Kona side , when I visit the big island again definitely will stay here

The wonderful lady at the front desk was extremely helpful! The complex was clean and quiet and so quaint. The unit itself was very clean easy to access. The parking was very adequate.

We stayed our last night on the island and wanted to be close to the airport.

Listing bragged about full kitchen. It was ok. Was given one hand towel, No dish rag for 10 days. Usually we find at least one morning of coffee to get us through but alas, nothing. Knives were super dull. No pot holder or tongs for bbq. I did ask for a rice cooker and they did buy one but found one already there which was weird. Sliding door was a beast to open with a broken handle, which they did fix it. Had difficulties with door lock due to low batteries. Held us up as it was hard to get ahold of someone. The number i was given was a wrong number. Be prepared for having no where to put your clothes and no bedside tables. Overall, the place was clean and we made it work. Compared to other rentals weve stayed at with similar cost this was just ok. already thereNo extra blanket

The location of this property is hard to beat. On site amenities, friendly property staff and well maintained common areas were a few of the highlights. Property manager was easy to communicate with. The condo was as depicted in the online photos. Beach gear (chairs, umbrella, cooler) were available. I would booked again.

I really enjoyed my stay here, unfortunately it was only for one night. The location is amazing, and the balcony overlooking the pool is just beautiful!
