We like staying in condos on the Big Island so we can save money not eating out. We've stayed in Keauhou dozens of times, and discovered one of the best bargains is marinated meats from the local KTA. So having a BBQ was important to us - I specifically asked about this as the listing didnt mention it. Owner stated 'there is shared BBQ'. Upon arriving we found this untrue. Apparently english isnt the owners strong point.
Another MAJOR disappointment was every speck of kitchen basics was gone. Not even salt/pepper. Every other condo we've ever stayed in had a variety of kitchen basics left over from previous guests; salt, pepper, oils, shoyu, rice, vinegar, etc. and i've always been happy to make my own contribution. Not so here. Curiously, there is a spice rack with moldy spices no one ever uses.
The good side - main bed was great, TV worked well (tho it didnt have HBO as the guest guide stated), The lanai was large and great to enjoy watching golfers, The 'guest bedroom' was adequate with its pullout and privacy barriers. The AC was very nice and worked well. Furniture all in decent condition and comfy. We appreciated that soap for the laundry and dishwasher was stocked.
Somewhat disappointed that the only personal soap was a tiny tube of body wash. No bar soap or shampoo - for these sky-high prices that seems like a cheap shot.
The on-site staff were polite and on the ball.
Wont stay here again.
