This place was amazing, we stayed for 10 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. The sunset views from the lanai are second to none, you can see in between the palm trees for an unobstructed view without having to go down along the shore. If you don't like the sound of waves (we do), this is not the place for you. You will hear them 24/7 from this unit, open the bedroom windows and you'll have a great listening experience of the waves while you sleep. It does have AC but we turned it off and never used it, we just kept the sliding door open and used the provided fans and kept the windows open in the bedroom for a really nice cross breeze through the whole unit, mornings were actually on the cooler side inside. There were a couple of reviews that said that the parking spaces are tight and not recommended for a full size Jeep, while true, if you know how to drive and park it will not be an issue, we had one and never had an issue. It is within walking distance of downtown Kona, but one thing we noticed is that it feels like you are walking uphill both ways! So if you do walk there be prepared for a little bit of a workout but we did it several times. We would definitely look into this unit again if our travels bring us back to the Big Island.
