This condo absolutely exceeded our expectations! Excellent location, spotlessly clean, and owner was very responsive.

We had a small problem with locating the air pump for the sofa bed initially, but Debi immediately responded to my email, and the pump was located.

Condo is VERY well stocked, especially the kitchen. There is a small collection of things like seasonings and oils, too. Boogie boards, chairs, snorkel equipment, etc. We easily found everything, and it was neatly arranged. It appears to have fairly recent updates and upgrades, and the kitchen was just awesome!

The view was perfect, especially at sunset. There is a grassy area just over the rock wall, and you can walk up and down the area beside the rocks. The first day, a trio of probably thieves was hanging out around the rocks outside of our lanai. We made it apparent that we knew what they were up to, and they moved away. Maintenance came and ran them off, since the grassy area is private property. Other than this, we didn't see homeless people hanging around the condo or the beach. Just lock up when you leave. We never at any point felt unsafe.

Some reviewers mentioned the bedroom AC being noisy. It's a portable unit, and is right beside the bed. But it's white noise, which was perfect for me. Even with it off, we heard no noise from the street, neighboring units, or the pool area. Very quiet, family atmosphere. Property is well-kept.

Here was the best part for me. I use a walker or wheelchair, and we have difficulty finding a property and a unit to accommodate me. This one was perfect. We were able to easily get to our car and the pool using the ramps (inside gated pool area). I was able to get over the wall outside of our lanai, and use my walker to easily move around the grassy area. The unit itself is small, but everything was accessible. There is a lot of furniture in the bedroom, but I was still able to move around easily. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the bed, because the mattress is harder than I am used to. It was rough on my back, but I realize that everybody has different needs and wants when it comes to mattresses. A memory foam topper might be worth looking into.

Overall, a great stay and great communication with Debi, the owner. We hope that this unit is available next summer. This was our first visit to the big island, and it was so much better than we ever dreamed.
