The view from the balcony was wonderful.
The people at the Evolve team were very responsive to my questions. They were good to
work with. They answered my questions very quickly.
This unit had an AC in the bedroom which helped to keep the place cool at night.

Hi Robert, we’re sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
We’re sorry that we did not respond in a timely manner and for any delay in communication
-We use a professional pest control company to ensure that the home is cleaned, sanitized, and bug-free every 90 days and we sincerely apologize for the pests you experience. Hawaii has multiple species of insects, which thrive in Hawaii's tropical climate and ecosystem. Unfortunately, we cannot eliminate all bugs that arrive each year but we do our best to ensure our high standards are being met and exceeded
-The internet can be sporadic in the home. Yes, the internet service is handled through Spectrum, not the homeowner. While we want our guests to enjoy their stay here, sometimes external factors like the internet are simply out of our control. We know how frustrating it is when you cannot access the internet. We have tried to remedy this, and hopefully will be rectified in the future
Thanks for your valuable feedback as we continue to improve for future guests.
Easy access to the Magic Sands for swimming, Kahalu'u for snorkeling, and the heart of Kona.

We stayed 3 nights on the Big Island. We chose a condo setting so we could have access to cooking some of our own meals. My husband wanted to make some muffins but nothing suitable to bake those in. Other than that, the condo offered all that we needed. We had a gorgeous view. We did not use the pool as time and weather did not permit. The condo had an ant problem which was a little annoying. Their was a portable AC unit in the bedroom and ceiling fans in the main room. We could not get the slider closed all the way to be able to lock it. Notes and instructions were outdated and/or old. The unit could use some updating. Overall, a nice stay.
