Reviewer Comments:

This is the second time we've stayed in this unit. This could be a very nice unit with some better upkeep. The pluses are: great walking location to downtown Kona (about a mile), washer/dryer combo, great pool, good size bedroom and firm bed, spacious living room and decent kitchen, came with starter supplies. The cons are: needs painting, rug cleaned, and a much needed good scrubbing inside the bathroom. (The ceiling fan is filthy, and the tub drains needs to be cleared of accumulated hair.) After our first stay I sent a list of suggested minor fixes to the manager, he thanked me, and then did nothing on the list. In fact, I suggested water-saving measures, a couple of safety concerns, and a simple electricity-saving suggestion on using LED lights in the bathroom that were heat-producing globe lights which made the bathroom very uncomfortable. Never happened, so this time, at Costco, we got a half-dozen 60 watt LED for $2.50 (great sale) and replaced them ourselves. Enjoy. Our interaction with management was always professional and prompt. IF we had to stay there again we probably would, but we like the Billfisher better because of the pristine upkeep of their units.
