Kailua Village #701: Top Floor, Corner Penthouse Remodeled in Downtown Kona.

Car and motorcycle noise in middle of the night mostly on the weekends

I was a little concerned that there was no AC but with the ocean breeze and ceiling fans there was absolutely no need for it. Loved the view on the balcony and a short walk to lots of restaurants. Very relaxing and comfortable stay.

The condo was picture perfect in everything, sparkling clean, extremely quiet and perfect view of Kona harbor. We were able to watch the long boat races held each weekend we were there. We choose the condo because it was in walking distance to all our favorite restaurants. It also had a parking stall convenient and close to the entry area. The condo does not have air conditioning, but we were very comfortable with the balcony door and bedroom windows open and fans on. We were very pleased to find beach chairs, beach umbrella and beach towels in the unit for use. The kitchen was nicely stocked with pots, pans, silverware, and glasses. We would defiantly stay here if and when we return to Kona and the Big Island.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bed was okay, no AC and HOT. Fans helped a little but didn't feel safe opening kitchen and bathroom windows for cross ventilation. Plenty of room but no luggage racks or ironing board.

The good:- Beautifully remodeled unit.- Very nice kitchen and bathroom facilities.- Walking distance to numerous restaurants.- Assigned parking space.The not so good:- No AC so keeping the windows open is necessary. That would be fine if the property was located in a secluded area, but being in the middle of a busy area with traffic noise, garbage trucks and landscape maintenance all ramping up before 7am isn't conducive to a relaxing vacation.- Nor are the sheer curtains in bedroom when the sun rises at 6:05am.- Very uncomfortable lanai furniture; high top bar chairs facing a narrow high bar/bench table. We tried using it once but gave up and stayed inside.- Chain smoking neighbor's smoke blows directly into unit.- 50 fee for making a one-day date change 4 months in advance of stay. Property listing inaccuracies:- Access is described as elevator but there are 8 steps after exiting the elevator.- The photo of lanai furniture is not current. I have included a photo.

Super location. Everything was clean and nice. Very comfy bed. The couch could use replacing but otherwise it was PERFECT.

This was perfect as far as view and proximity to everything! It was a bit loud at times, but settled down after 9pm. We loved our stay here, the bed was very comfy, the couch a bit hard being a pull out, but we didn't spend much time there anyway, too busy enjoying the amazing beaches and walking downtown. We would definitely stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in this apartment for 10 days and had an excellent experience. The location is outstanding—close to everything locally and conveniently equidistant from all the major attractions. The view from the apartment is a big plus.The apartment was spotless and very well stocked. It included beach chairs, an umbrella, and snorkeling gear, so we didn’t need to rent anything.The space is ideal for two people. It’s a corner, top-floor unit with great ventilation, and we never felt the need to use the AC.Knutson & Associates Property Management was excellent to work with. They were very responsive, followed up as soon as we landed, and answered all our questions promptly.We would definitely stay here again.

The stay was great.

Clean and comfortable.

GREAT: this property has been recently renovated, so the interior is fresh and clean with updates. The balcony provides a nice overlook to the ocean (over a beautiful church). Had beach chairs, towels, and a cooler. Being able to park here and walk down to the main strip area was a big bonus. Easy key retrieval once we figured out the initial lockbox situation. Not so good: We didn’t get the impression that those who lived in the complex really like “guests.” Also the sheets are pilling badly and the (colored) towels need a refresh as several had rips or were discolored. If you are going to do laundry, be prepared to have to put 10 minimum to use in the app. Not a bad price for the convenience of onsite laundry, but we only needed to do 1 load. The overall complex property and grounds need serious cleaning (elevator, laundry area, walk ways, etc.).

Good overall stay with central location close to stores and restaurants. Amazing view of Kailua Bay. Only thing was one of the glasses was missing when we arrived.

Nicely upgraded, perfect walk to restaurants and activities. Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed the updated condo in a great location with a lovely ocean view. We also got help very quickly when we needed it! I would recommend for any couple or solo traveler and hope to return.

Top floor of a 7 story condo in Kona. Great breezes coming from the ocean and blowing right through. End unit so only one shared wall. Very quiet neighbors. Walkable to the ocean and downtown Kona. Really liked it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our unit was all we hoped for! A fabulous view from the patio, impeccably clean and well appointed. It was also a very short walk to a number of fun and tasty restaurants. The provided floor fans made the lack of AC a non-issue and we remained comfy at all times. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Our host always responded back to us quickly with answers to questions we asked during our stay.

Knutson's kept providing updates on location, the access plans, etc, and when contacted about a minor issue, were no problem to deal with. The Unit is situated within the Kona restaurant area, with all tastes catered for. I would happily recommend Knutsons and I would also stay there again.
