5 STAR SEASIDE STUDIO @ 3 STAR PRICE!!----from $799 PER WEEK

Less than 200 feet from shoreline.....And some of the *only* shoreline that features a small beach, tide pools and ocean side lawns complete with loungers!

Island owners' personal seaside getaway with ocean views from the sofa, bed and balcony.

Beautifully maintained unit--Complete renovation in late 2012. Latest “Upgrade” —October, 2021.

Stylishly appointed, this 4 room studio suite (478sq.ft.) was designed with comfort foremost in mind. Commodious seating, 550+TC pima cotton bedding, a Simmon's Cal-King mattress (w/Nova foam topper!) and quality bath linens are just a few of the “upscale” amenities. The cool blue and stone colored walls compliment the contemporary furnishings, clean lines, hardwoods, bamboo flooring and oriental carpets. Waves play in the floor to ceiling beveled mirror wall panel. The South Pacific (w/Asian influence) art found throughout the apartment lends an exotic air to the décor.

The same care to detail is shown throughout the rest of the suite. An oriental folding privacy screen placed in front of the opened door (heavy high security screen door w/serious lock) gives you air flow on 3 sides~~ah, those island breezes. This is rare in a condo. Combined with the efficient ceiling fan, you’ll find little need for the air-con. Of course, air con is available at all times.

Settle in on the super comfy Italian love-seat, put your feet up on the ottoman and watch a little NETFLIX (on the "Smart TV") on those "stay-in" evenings. AFTER you catch the sunset!
Location:

'The Kona Bali Kai'. Midway down Ali'i Drive is famous surf spot 'Banyans' (your view, as pictured in the slide show), adjacent to the Kona Bali Kai main building. (2 miles north to 'Restaurant Row' and the Village, 3 miles south to Keahou Bay and less than a mile to “Magic Sands” beach.) Across and just south from the main building, 12 unit 'Building 3' is easily accessed and has a 'laid back' feeling not usually associated with condos. The unit is on the slightly elevated (10 ft. above sea level) first floor (easy access and GOOD VIEWS OF OCEAN *OVER* 2 LANE ALI'I DRIVE). Private residences on the north and east, a 'Mom and Pop' style market (w/ spirits) on the south and the Pacific Ocean to your west.

Adequate for the price

The pictures out the sliding window are a little misleading. The access to the beach is across the street and there was always a pickup truck with people smoking pot, drinking and blaring music right where you walk to gain access to it. It may be because the little store next to the unit has beer and wine. None of this affects you once you are inside the unit but it did keep us from sitting on the balcony,

Needs a deep cleaning

First I want to say that property on the ocean tend to have rust and mineralization that is normal. You really cannot escape the rust as it happens over time to nearly all metal fixtures and it doesn't make sense to replace things on an island. That being said this place was exceptionally dirty. The tub has a significant amount of soap scum buildup, there is a lot of decor with layers of dust, the bathroom screen is very dusty and someone has drawn with their finger "clean me" on it, every cabinet in the kitchen needed a good scrub down particularly at the door pulls, and last the floors were dirty and the bed had popcorn and several grapes under it. The bathroom rug smelled of urine. The kitchen sink had a grease ring all around the inside of it. When I called maintenance about it, no answer. After contacting VRBO they finally got them in contact with me and made me call the cleaners to tell them what was wrong. The cleaning person insisted they had cleaned. I explained that was not possible in the sense that there was sand, grapes and popcorn under the bed. I expect sand to some degree based on the locale. They agreed to come the next day and reclean. After going to bed that night I did notice that the sheets on the bed were definitely not the quality noted in the listing and most likely some type of polyester blend. The towels in the unit were nice quality (2) and (2) beach towels. The unit was not re cleaned and I had to do a better clean. They may have cleaned the sink.

Old and dirty

The place was very old and dirty. There was rust and corrosion on the shower, fridge, and sinks. Inside the silverware drawer there was crumbs so we had to wash everything before and after use. The shower had a clog because when you would be in it for a few min the tub would fill up. There was only two bath towels so if you needed another you were out of luck. The A/C unit was very loud and water dripped from it. When we arrived there was a pack of medicine leftover from someone else next to the bed which tells me it wasn’t cleaned well. I felt like I needed to keep my shoes on inside.

Great location and layout, missing some attention to detail

The studio was comfortable and was felt much roomier than I expected given its size. The location was also great: the community was quiet, has a private pool + hot tub, and is only a 10 minute drive from Kaliua-Kona. I just wish the property managers paid a bit more attention to detail. The window AC unit is still loud and ineffective, despite the same issue being flagged by multiple previous tenants. My wife and I had trouble sleeping because the unit was both uncomfortably warm and loud. Also: (1) the internet didn't work until I rebooted the Fiber converter, modem, and router several times; (2) we never managed to figure out how to use the four different remotes to operate the TV, and (3) we never got the check-in or out instructions to load, and (4) all of the information in the unit was two months old. In short: it's a nice unit at a good price, so I can't complain. But don't expect top-notch service.

Mostly good - much older place

Overall it's a decent place to stay with quite a bit of room, good bed, small but good kitchen and a great location. Definitely not 5 star. Since we stayed at 2 other similar non-hotel places in Hawaii prior to this, we'd definitely rank this one 3rd best. I'm guessing it's at least 30+ years old and other than paint not overly updated. Decorating is rather brown and dark. The shower/bath was a bigger issue for us - it's a very old bath tub and does not have a flat bottom/very curved so was extremely slippery and hard to stand without falling. There was no bath mat so we put a towel in the bottom for better stability and that worked. Looks like the condo management company provided some "current activities" to go to, but it was from last year and clearly not updated. It is a nice place, but the other VRBO owners we've used go out of their way to communicate frequently, keep everything current & safe, and ensure we have everything needed throughout the stay.

Great Place to Stay

The beach really is directly across the road. You can see it from the lanai (or balcony). You can also hear the waves crashing at night. There is a nice, safe place to cross the road and there is also Banyans Mini Mart next door. The trolley is free to go up and down the main strip and there is a stop on both sides of the road close to the apartment. The apartment had everything we needed and directions from the host were very clear and informative. Definitely recommended by my husband and myself!

Excellent location nice room

This was a great place to stay to enjoy the Kona area and explore the island. It was a short drive to lots of great food and beaches. We highly recommend visiting the art colony village of Holualoa (if you Google map to Glyph gallery, you’ll find it). The only small downsides were that the condo building’s hot tub had dirty foam in it, and seemed poorly maintained (although we didn’t report this and maybe it could be attended to).

Short stay

This studio apartment had some pluses and minuses for us as listed below. Pluses: well outfitted, accurate description (see photos from owner), clean, pool and picnic facilities, and across the street from the ocean Minuses: close to street (some noise from cars/motorcycles at night), A/C very loud and didn't keep temperature (apartment was very warm without it), neighbor's security light shines all night (not completely filtered out by the blinds if ceiling fan was on), and towels/sheets smelled of mildew. For us, the minuses outweighed the pluses. We moved to a hotel after 1 night since we could not sleep due to noise/light. I contacted the owner after our stay and they said that they could have replaced the A/C unit and dealt with the linens. So, probably not a concern for future renters.

The place was across from a very lovely beachfront park that was well used by surfers. Not accessible for snorkling with the high surf at the time of our stay but were some great tidal pools to explore. Honu (sea turtle) were a frequent sighting feeding in these and near to shore. The place itself had all we needed. There was a beach umbrella but it was very broken and snorkle gear (2masks, 2 pairs of fins, no snorkles) that were obviously not looked after/ cleaned so unusable. Overall well managed building and the sounds of the waves at night are lovely!
