Nice clean property and well stocked with anything you might need. Room was clean when we walked in and the AC was on which was a nice touch.Bed was large and comfortable and communication with the property owner was excellent. The community where it was located, Kona Shores was very nice and centrally located. The property is about a half hour drive to Kona Airport and centrally located to all attractions on the Big Island. I would rent here again.

Nice Place

The apartment is close to the shops and restaurants within a short drive. The apartment has everything we needed so it was comfortable. It’s right next to the main road but quite at night. It’s also about 20-30 minutes from the airport so it was convenient. We had a nice stay.
