Enjoyed our stay.. Christmas parade was steps away and a wonderful surprise.
Highly recommend that you have an exterminator come to visit..

It was nice for our short stay and within walking distance of the beach, shops, and restaurants. Would stay again.

I was given a code when I checked in. I thought it was for the keypad lock on the door. It wasn't. Turned out it was for the lock box, which I came to realize after being unable to lock the door using the key pad (door was unlocked when I arrived and I didn't realize the code I punched in did nothing). It was after finding the door unlocked when I was sure I had locked it when inside that I investigated and found the code opened the small lock box by the door. I ended up removing the batteries from the keypad unit as I didn't trust it as I swear it would unlock on its own as it kept making a lot of noises. So I just used the key. Other little niggly things were no products in the shower dispenser, no tea towels to dry dishes and the television was pretty much useless as the TV and Amazon Fire remotes did nothing but control on or off.
Otherwise I liked the location and the general comfort of the room. Would have preferred a better light bulb in the bedside lamp but that was even less trivial than my other complaints. Oh, and the laundry facilities suck: change machine out of order, no one at the front desk to get change and the detergent machine took my money but didn't give any detergent.

Location is perfect! Cute little condo with some extra beach stuff which was great! The only thing missing was body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, which if I had known, it wouldn’t have been that big of deal.
6.0 / 10.0
Great location, convenient to everything.
However, we arrived at our unit to find the screen door wide open and the door closer unscrewed from the wall. Once inside, we went to put our clothes in the armoire and one of the doors was broken. There was dust and debris under the bed and couch. Chipped paint on the walls. The bathroom exhaust fan hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long and we weren't surprised when we saw four cockroaches scurrying about. The lanai was covered in sand and hadn't been swept. When we wanted to watch TV, the remote was missing. The owner was responsive yet it appeared he already knew there was no remote and he said there would be a replacement. None ever showed up.
We love the Kona Islander Inn but most likely will avoid this unit in the future.
6.0 / 10.0
Adequate. I like the location of this complex, this particular unit is not the best I've stayed in. It's got everything it says, the photo isn't at all like the actual unit. Some confusion over codes & entry, we made it work. Could use some basic maintenance, fix hinges, that sort of thing. Kinda dark, but as a base for activities you're not spending a lot of time inside. That said, I'd stay there again. I will say about some of these short term vacation rentals - I don't mind taking the trash out when I leave, that's a necessity with bugs in this climate, but I really don't like having to strip sheets. I go on vacation to avoid doing housework.

Very nice place all within walking distance to shopping, restaurants, ocean, etc. Quiet and private unit with all amenities. Nice balcony to sit, relax and read a book.
2.0 / 10.0
Parking was not available, not even on the street as the front desk suggested. Parking lot was all one way which was opposite of the slanted parking spots. Made things very difficult. We called our contact person to obtain a late check out and it took him 11 hours to give us an answer. The next day the front desk locked us out of our room at 10am because they said they had not heard from the "contact" person confirming our approved late checkout, even though I had the text approval on my cell phone. They said there was nothing they could do about it. We had to sit in our car and the lobby(no restroom available) for 1 and 1/2 hours until we finally convinced them to call the owner. Only then did they let us in the room so we could pack and go to the airport.
The room was very poorly equiped. There were dishes and pots and pans , but no stove on which to use the pots and pans and no table at which to sit and use the dishes.
The pricing was also deceptive. All the fees and charges ended up doubling the cost of the room we were quoted. I would never use your service again, or stay at one of your properties.

Location was perfect. Close to everything we wanted to do. Room was more than adequate. The parking situation left something to be desired. If you came home late, there parking was a crapshoot. Not enough spaces to match guests.
