The fully-equipped and recently remodeled kitchen also contains a washer for your convenience. There is a drying rack which can be used within the condo, (NOT out on the lanai). The dryer is only for a very few small items. Coin operated facilities on site are for almost all loads.

Nice, comfortable condo
It is a nice, comfortable place to stay. The balcony has an ocean view over the other buildings in the complex and is great to sit on in the morning. The couch folds out into a bed so even though the property has a single bedroom, the living-room/dining/kitchen area can be configured as a second bedroom overnight. The bathroom is well located so it can be used from both areas. The biggest thing that will determine if any unit in the complex is for you is location. Its a short walk from black sand beach, and a half hour drive from the volcano park. It does have a pool, hot tub and BBQs. And it is nice and quiet. A great place if you like nature and want a base for exploring the island. If you want restaurants, city activities and entertainment, and lots of nearby things to do, this is not the place for you. I have stayed in the complex before and was delighted to find this condo for this stay, so it really all depends on what you enjoy. Did have a couple of minor issues and the owner was easy to contact and responsive. The clothes dryer wasn't working but that was solved using a paid dryer in the complex laundromat. The washer is quite small so using the laundromat may be a good idea for larger amounts of laundry anyway. Also worth noting that fridge has a rather loud hum when the compressor is running that may be an issue for someone sleeping the in living-room (cant hear it from the bedroom). To sum it up - would we stay there next time? A definite yes!

The unit was perfect for two people in a quiet, well maintained complex.
Loved being able to see and hear the ocean as well being treated to a constant chorus of bird song.

Nice unit but needs some attention.
This unit is definitely in a remote spot. Shower never got hot, emailed owner to be given a reason then see a review from last month of same problem which to me means, owner ignored it! Please don't see washer/dryer as a bonus, dryer doesn't dry so you are left with hanging clothes to dry all around (dryer vent is clogged). Unit needs some TLC.
