We came in for the Ironman WC and the location did not disappoint. It was so close to the center of the action, we didn't drive anywhere related
to the race. (I need more words for my review!) :)
A few tips and things to note:
- Complex has several staircases per building that service 6 condos each - 2 per floor. We got there in the dark and it took the help of some residents to get us to the right place. It's possible I missed the detailed instructions on finding it in our excitement to get there.
- Condo is on the 3rd floor but it was nice. The cathedral ceiling and windows, etc made it super pretty.
- Apparently there should be a 3rd key in the lock box that unlocks a gate that lets you cut over to the shopping area. We didn't get our hands on it until the day we left so didn't try it but supposedly it will open that gate - which would be AWESOME if it does!
- there are 3 air conditioners that help keep the place moderate. Most residents open their front/back doors during day to let air flow through. Don't expect 68deg condo. It's Kona.
- close the curtains and blinds on the patio (will help keep the mid day heat down)
- check out the closet in the hallway and the closet down in the garage - LOTS of great stuff to use (snorkel equipment, coolers, beach chairs/umbrella, boogie boards, beach bags, shopping bags, etc)
- Well stocked, nice towels, clean, etc
Host Co was responsive to our needs! We greatly enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent again.
