We had a great time in this unit. Plenty of space, functional kitchen, great view from the lanai. Pool is lovely. Barbecue was plenty big for cooking dinner. Only small negatives are that the laundry/dryer are loud (better to use during afternoon while away then at bedtime), and third floor makes for plenty of stair climbing (though we knew this in advance). Location across the street from Kahaluu bay is perfect, not too far from grocery & shopping, but also far enough away from Kona town center to not have to deal with that crowdedness.
