Centrally located and very clean, this condo was key in wrapping our Hawaiian vacations in Kona. It was hot, but we were able to figure out a way to stay cool by using the AC and fans. Mahalo!
This place was perfect for us. Loved the Hawaiian decor. Even though on first floor, the ocean front lanai is still above the rocks and seawall, just gorgeous view of the ocean. Kitchen well stocked. A/C and fans kept us cool enough. Lots of beach accessories available to use. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Courtney!
Overall acceptable interior with an exceptional view.The furnishings were definitely dated, but our vacation didnât revolve around the unit so it didnât disappoint us too much.It was super helpful that there were extras outside for the beach ( coolers, umbrellas, snorkels,Goggles, and even a boogie board)!Also helpful was a shelf filled with âextrasâ that past tenants had left behind containing items like suntan lotion, skincare, bug spray, band aids, and cleaning products we might need throughout our stay.On the down side, things definitely could have been cleaner. The windows had fingerprints and the tracks were filled with bugs (gnats). Strangely enough I noticed this because I had just cleaned them in my home prior to leaving.Overall, it was nice stay. At no fault of the owner, and just by the âluck of the drawâ, we were on the bottom floor. The people above us had a toddler who didnât much like to go to bed and screamed as he ran from one end of the house to the other EVERY night at about 10 pm (his bed time I presume.We did have a wonderful trip and would stay again If we can back. Thank you!!
This view was worth every penny! We spent so much time out on our lanai right over the rock wall and then the blue beautiful Pacific Ocean. We so enjoyed watching the outriggers, boats on excursions, surfers, paddle-boarders and even a cruise ship! The A/C in the main living area works great- really cooled down that part of the unit. The fans do a pretty good job of keeping the bedroom cool. The bed - OMG- it is soooo comfy! We slept so good! Bathroom was small but efficient. Pool and hot tub area nice size. We really enjoyed our stay and would visit again! Mahalo!
The property has a lovely oceanfront view. It was clean with updated furniture and kitchen. The kitchen had all I needed. There were lots of items for the beach to use such as chairs, boogy board, etc.There unfortunately was a very strong, unpleasant chemical smell in the unit that persisted despite fans and cross ventilation. Perhaps a strong antiseptic cleaning fluid or bug spray was used throughout. One suggestion is to replace the scratched Teflon-type pans in the kitchen.Overall, the unit was great.
The condo had enough space. However it was not clean. Sticky floor, fridge gull of half used sauces. Cubboard with remains. We left after 4 of the 10 days. The mansger and VRBO hsndled this verh well and money eas regunded in 3 days.
We had a great time staying at this condo on the water. There are beach options nearby, and the views of the sunset from the lanai were spectacular. It was an easy walk or ride to town, and there are great food and drink options to choose from. We would definitely stay here again next time we're visiting the island!
Not only is this condo situated at the waterâs edge, it also has all the amenities. Kitchen, laundry, pool, hot tubâŠall at an affordable price. Coco is amazing!
The view is the best part of this property! It's super close to the ocean, and the sunset is visible daily. We aired out the unit daily by leaving both the lanai doors and the front door open; the screens on both looked to be in great condition and worked well to keep large bugs out.
The property was more or less exactly as pictured. It's not exactly clean, but it was clean enough. There were items left behind from past guests, and the kitchen cabinets were disorganized. The bedroom and bathroom were also poorly positioned in the unit, so they essentially got no meaningful airflow. I'm personally not a fan of the decorations, but that's highly subjective. The AC unit worked very well, but we didn't need it because of the great airflow through the open lanai and the front doors.
One thing to note for sensitive sleepers is that this unit is on the ground floor, so you will likely hear all the people waking up in the morning, stomping down the stairs, and slamming doors.
At night, the property is brightly lit. I personally considered that a negative point as I wanted to be able to stargaze at night since the air was so clear during our stay. With that being said, the night sky was still sufficiently dark.
The location is great! It's super close to the hustle and bustle of Kailua-Kona while remaining very quiet and peaceful. Fantastic weather on this side of the island as well, but it was pretty hot even in mid-November. Finally, as I've mentioned, the view is amazing!
We loved having our morning coffees and sunset cocktails on the balcony, as the ocean view is so beautiful! The location is perfect for all kinds of activities and meals in downtown. The king bed and pullout sofa bed are both very comfortable. Would definitely come back!
I suggest maybe putting some information regarding beaches that are close but and whether or.not they are swimmable, and a sign to alert people there is a screen that can be pulled on the lanai. As a first time visitor to Hawaii I think those would be helpful since we drove around and never able to get in the beach area because of parking and then to find out when we found a beach with parking it was not swimmable at all. I will say the condo itself was nice and clean and I never needed to contact the host.
This was a wonderful end to our 8 days on the Big Island. Wish we could have stayed here longer. The location was right on the ocean and we watched spinner dolphins from the lanai each morning. The complex was quiet and centrally located making it an easy drive to the beaches.
The condo was underwhelming. Air conditioning was inadequate. If you have to turn it off while youâre gone the condo gets too hot. Takes hours for it to cool down and the bedroom never gets cool
Great location just outside of the hustle and bustle of tourism. We enjoyed our stay. We would stay again if we come back. The communication was good as well.
Very nice condo in a large complex approx 1 mile from downtown Kona. Very easy parking and keyless entry.excellent view of the ocean and sunset from the Lanai. Very well stocked kitchen with included washer and dryer. Portable AC in LR was a plus but did not cool the bedroom much. However there were many fans that helped with sleeping. TV access was difficult despite following the direction. Overall an excellent stay. We wouldnât hesitate to stay again
Good location not too far from Kona town. We used the grill on property for a few meals. Easy parking and access. Property clean; good for two people.
The lanai shades do not work; the pole to operate the shade is rusted/broken. Also, the shade itself is rusted and will not roll at all. Would have been nice to use the shades in the afternoon when the sun/heat is an issue.
Nice beach gear to use! Chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gear. Makes your beach visits even better.
Let me start off by saying that Courtney the owner is so nice and made the stay excellent. She is super responsive and helped with my special requests.
The property is amazing has a great balcony and view of the ocean, great pool and hot tub and a fully stocked closet of snorkels and boogie boards chairs and umbrellas.
The kitchen bedroom and pull out bed were excellent and there was sunscreen and toiletries available in the closet by the bathroom.
Iâm going to stay here every time I go to Hawaii thanks Courtney!!!
