Perfect location, Property Needs Updated
The ocean views are spectacular and the location in Kona is great, close to attractions and restaurants. The house is spacious and that second level lanai is the main attraction. That being said, the home itself is older and tired. Repairs and maintenance are sorely lacking, the interior finishes are rocking a 1980’s vibe and the furniture is showing its wear. There is a not insignificant bug problem, mainly because certain doors, windows and openings are not completely sealed or are broken. The house could use a deep cleaning, as it appears the turnover staff does the bare minimum between guest stays. The upstairs beds are comfortable but the downstairs beds, especially those in the room with the bunkbed, really need replacing. The lack of air conditioning in the upstairs main living and kitchen area is disappointing, as that is the main entertaining and living space - sure you could leave the lanai doors open, but then risk the mosquito invasion that will occur. The pool and hot tub need more maintenance and TLC than they are getting. The grounds themselves are beautiful and welcoming. Some guest reviews note the difficult parking situation and trying to get back out onto a busy road - we managed it ok. That is just what comes with getting an oceanfront property in this location. Overall, this property has a ton of promise - it just needs some investment to fix and improve the interior. Full window and door replacement and upgrading the A/C situation would be a good start.
