Location to Kona for the Ironman

The fact it had a kitchen but hardly anything to use for cooking we had to buy nearly everything, no laundry facilities in the unit and 1 roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. The air conditioning unit was right over the bed and very noisey.

Easy and quick access to the pool and bbq are a plus. They have a salt water pool set right on the ocean, totally beautiful. Security is tight for pool access. You must have a key to get in and get out. There is ocean (not beach) access next to the pool. Amazing sunset views from the pool. The AC worked well when we needed it. There were also fans available in the unit to circulate the cold air throughout the two rooms. The king sized bed was very comfortable. The kids choose to blow up the air mattress and sleep on the enclosed patio instead of using the sofa bed. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils. We were able to create great meals using the bbq and the small kitchen.

No coolers or alcohol allowed in the pool area. This was not super convenient. There was a gentleman who was doing intense maintenance on the surrounding facility during our stay. He reminded us almost every day not to bring our cooler (which was tiny) into the pool area. Later (after his shift) there were regular tenets in the pool with glass bottles. This seemed a bit more of a liability than some kid-friendly sandwiches in a cooler.
