Kona Islander Vacation Club

Echoing most of the reviews for this property. The condo was small, but fit our needs (2 guests). Check in was fine, and I was aware that the condos are owned privately and didn't have in-house guest services. It is a good location due to its vicinity to restaurants and shops. I had a view of the beach, but at times it did get noisy because of cars passing by blasting their music. The negatives I had was that the AC was too loud and agitated my allergies. Parking was also an issue. If you get in late, you'll need to find street parking.

Everything is overshadowed by the fact that I got to see the biggest Kilauea eruption in decades!

There isnless than 1/3rd ofnoarking spots to the number of units. Good luck finding a spot after 5-6p. Parking availablenshould say extremely limited parking. This was a vrbo not a hotel... fine but nothing was recieved from the host and the stafff at rhe front desk give you parking passing tell you which room and the code to get in. I had no information to contact the host if i needed but thabkfully i did not

We were in Unit #128 first floor. Pro's: staff was friendly. 1. Aliyah took the time to give us all the local places we would enjoy. 2. We had access to hot tub and pool area. They also have a grill area and shower area before you step in the pool. We had access to a laundry area on site. They was alot of animal and bugs on the property. A small Gecko entered our room.There is a roaming cat around the area. 3. The place is across the street to a beach area. The island seemed laid back with friendly people. 4. Uber from the airport was $25-40. Uber rides around the place was $7-12. Not alot of parking if you had rented a car. CON's: The property room was outdated. 1. If you need anything you have to contact the owner of the property. This is not a hotel. (I.e. pillows) They give you a number to contact. 2The AC unit emitted a watery moldy smell. 3. The shower needs an upgrade. I had the shower a longer shower because the water pressure was low. The Amerities was bare minimum. The toilet paper was low quality. 4.Small fridge/microwave only. Food was expensive. 4. The bed was confortable but you can feel the springs 5. There was wifi. You have to look on the box to access it. Programs on TV was limited. However, there was a mirroring functions that allow us to stream from our phone so we bypass that problem. 6. Low outlets. Look for the clock (outlets ontop) i moved it to the floor next to the bed to use my CPAP equip. Overall, its not the worst place I stayed in.

Beautiful Jungle Landscaping , quiet, walkable to most everything. Parking was limited but once I parked we walked everywhere anyway!

Do NOT recommend this place Roaches! Absolutely a terrible experience. Place had cockroaches. The toilet flapper would stick and the only way to operate was to take the lid off and manually trip the flapper. Bathroom sink was clogged. Light bulbs were burnt out. Front door lock battery was dead. Hot tub was out of service The front desk or management NEVER responded to a single question I sent before arriving and never responded to any of my comments.
