The unit was well stocked with everything a vacationer might need. Kitchen lighting was inadequate, the under the cabinet strip lights never turned on, maintenance had no clue how to operate them, he brought us stick up lights on day 4 , I'm sure he would have come out sooner but we were busy driving all over the island every day. We cook and needed surface lighting, all there was was a ceiling fan light & dim light over the stove. The unit listed air conditioning, there is no central air, only a portable unit attached to the wall by a duct in the bedroom. Thank goodness for the trade winds, with front door and balcony door open the breeze was good. The downstairs owner had construction for 3 days, power tools going during daylight till about 4pm. I have pictures, I own condos & know this is unavoidable, just some info that should be considered when setting a rental rate.

The community was very quiet, we golfed, used the pool etc. All in all a safe time was had by both of us. We had a rented car & drove all over the island everyday. We are chefs, did our own cooking, neighborhood grocery store was good. Did not eat at Johnnies golf diner. Will not rent at Villages again, probably go closer to the beach, pretty decent decor and well stocked but that does not make up for heat or noise.

The location is wonderful. There is a great place to walk/run/bike just a short walk from the Villas. We enjoyed the view of the golf course, the wild turkeys and chickens who visited, the foliage, and so much more. Upon arrival to the condo, we were so impressed with the cleanliness of not just the interior, but the grounds are immaculate. Very well kept and maintained. Loved all the Hibiscus growing! The condo was so comfortable and it was great to have a nice roomy kitchen to cook meals. We didn’t want to leave. We always enjoy the Lava Lava Beach Club and watching the sunset and enjoying great food and beverages. We also love going to Hilo, and we had an amazing meal at the Volcano House/Rim Restaurant. Kilauea is a breathtaking site and it’s a must see when visiting the Big Island. We also enjoyed Hāpuna and Spencer Beach Parks, Lapakahi National State Park, and the beautiful town of Hawi. We also saw the original statue of King Kamehameha! Everyone we interacted with, no matter where we went, was pure Aloha. The kindness we experienced was mind blowing.

We had dinner at the Italian restaurant Pueo's Osteria, not the best restaurant we had ever eaten, but the food was okay and the service was great. It is in close proximity to Kona International Airport, which makes it an ideal place to stay on your first or last night of your stay on The Big Island.

It was over booked too much going on with StateFarm Convention and children. They were all over the place especially in the Adult pool and area . The parents did not control them as well. I think we came at wrong time. It's a Beautiful place and the staff was super Friendly . If the opportunity comes again I will look into thoroughly before accepting the offer. Thanks for the first time experience in Hawaii.
