I appreciate all the little extra details that were available in the home that added enjoyment to our stay. Plenty of bedding, stocked bathrooms. The deck of cards for our early nights in, the binoculars made for early morning wildlife and evening viewing amazing. The location was great for us. It was close enough to Kona but away from the noise and close enough for us to get to the southern part of the island as well. The pool and grill was great. I appreciated that I felt at home while away. Thank you.
This condo had everything we needed for our stay, and then some! Very well stocked! We did have issues finding it in the dark as it's not very well lit around there and we had to drive by about 4 times and then we pulled into the wrong parking area. Our son walked around and finally found the parking space and our unit. Lighting on the entire property was lacking. No real lights to walk to the pool and the pool only had one light that was on a timer. Had to bring a flashlight for our son to be able to swim after dark. Not much lighting in the parking area either, and my husband fell over piping after exiting the car the second night in the dark. I do want to say that the host and on-island people were very responsive when we accidently left my son's beach towel in with the other towels and sent it to him (which we did pay for). Also, having the diffusers and other scented items there made for difficulty with breathing for our family members with asthma and allergies. I finally put them in the laundry room and closed the door. This is my reasoning for giving this 4 stars and not 5.
Perfect location, comfortable condo, very well stocked with plenty of snorkeling equipment, chairs, beach towels, etc. Couldn't have asked for anything more! We really enjoyed this place. The balcony is excellent for watching surfers in the bay and Kahalu'u Beach is a walkable gem for snorkeling.
My kids learned how to surf across the street from this condo! Incredible to be able to watch them from the balcony and pool area. The only way to be in a better location is to rent a place across the street. You are completely in the touristy part of town for good reason. Amazing snorkeling and easy surf. That being said the road is busy. I loved hearing the surf but the traffic noises were less desirable. Overall comfortable place to rent with the family. It was really nice to have ice and a washer and dryer to complete our trip. Hosts were accommodating as well.
We really enjoyed our short stay here! Very thoughtfully provided supplies for the kitchen, bath, laundry and especially the beach closet! The location was very convenient...We really enjoyed being able to walk across the street to swim and snorkel and to travel around the island.
Great location. We enjoyed the sunsets each evening from the balcony. We appreciated that the owners had beach chairs and other beach accessories available for use! The condo is off of Ali'i drive so there is traffic noise, but we expected that from reading other reviews. Also, the bedrooms are towards the back of the condo so you can't hear the road when you sleep. We appreciated having parking and the pool and bbq available! Property managers were very responsive with any questions and when we let them know about a squealing/plumbing issue. We would recommend this location and stay here again!
