Beautiful and nice surroundings. Caretaker ,Jennifer ,is friendly and very responsive. Inaccurate description of couch. I expected a futon. Couch was very dirty and by front door was dirty. She said she would correct the description. I would return. I suggested that she toss the old couch and table.

I guess we had great expectations for this place.
We had noticed on the website The Gecko was renovated which was the only one advertised on the website. As to our knowledge there are six available apartments. We have no idea what the other five look like. They should be advertised on the sight atleast it should state there are 6 apartments.
When we arrived late into the night, our time 12:30 AM nobody was available when we tried to use the last digits of my phone # to enter The Gecko. Later we found out by a couple staying there that they were long term??? The couple who were staying at The Gecko informed us the host was in another building. We startled her awake so she thought we were thieves.
Finally at about 2:30 our time we were able to enter The Starfish. As we entered we smelled mold because under the sink in the kitchen was a leaky faucet . The baking pans must be emptied every two days or they spill over on the shelf below.
The knobs of the stove must be removed to turn on the burners. The stove door is rusted.
Any sight of fruit is overrun with billions of fruit flies.
The bathroom floor boards haven’t been cleaned in years. Paint is peeling off the walls and cabinet. The shower curtain is not clean. What’s disturbing is a swinging partial door to the bathroom right next to the bedroom. If a person sleeping wants to hear the kerplunk of a BM it’s fine!!
Wild cats roam the property begging for food. We were finally given some to feed them .

We arrived late at Oceanview. I had notified a different person than the host who is here.
We were told to use a code which didn’t work on our door. The apartment we were assigned was occupied. I had made reservations 3 weeks in advance. The host had no idea we were arriving and assigned us a different apartment. The apartment did have an extra bed which was better for us for 3 people. The apartment isn’t as clean as it could be but livable. It’d be nice to have a broom and cleaning supplies in the apartment. It’s great to have a washer and drier available. The location is very far from Hilo and Kona for shopping and beaches. I haven’t seen the host on sight since the second day we arrived. Overall it has been ok. Wild cats rome free.

Arrived at checkin time. Sheets were in the middle of the bed. Every towel in the place was used. Nothing was cleaned. Neither the property manager or the owner answered our messages until we received a call from the owner in the evening. It was the middle of the night for him so we told him we had borrowed sheets and towels from my brother who is staying with friends while he builds a home. We swept, cleaned toilet, shower, sinks and piled laundry, emptied trash. Did not bother to clean bugs out of refrigerator but texted pictures to Owner. He was to respond next day but we never heard from him again. Next day “Mgr” sent us code to cleaning room to get towels. We survived but it wasn’t fun. GFI outlet wasn’t functioning in bathroom so hairdryer had to be used in kitchen. TV is mounted on the wall behind the loveseat in the living space, totally useless. This appeared to be the best available in Ocean View - better get a rental car and a hotel in Kailua Kona.

Perfect for a single dude or a couple who need a place to sleep. Entry code provided didn't work, but after a text and call to the property manager, I was given the correct code and the rest of my stay was wonderful.
Overall, a great homebase to explore the island!

Aloha, our stay was fun as well as fruitful. We bought a house here in OV.
Our only problem was we were given via your email, the wrong entry code. The code we were given was 3546……. We found the night we checked in we should have used the last four digits of my phone number. We got in only with the help of the up stairs people. They had a phone contact number, we did not. Before arrival I had requested such a number, but never got a reply. I strongly suggest a readily available contact phone/message number. Other than that and trouble getting the electric cook top to work, we really enjoyed our stay. The location is great and the newly remodel is clean and neat. I built houses here for many years, so good job. Mahalos
