Wonderful condo rental for a family. Lovely breeze from the deck, appreciated having coolers available, loved watching the waves from just feet away day and night. Owner was easy to work with, highly recommend.

No surprises here, everything was exactly as advertised. The view and location are great. There was a turtle in the tide pool area just below the balcony and several eels as well. Great property!

Loved the view and relaxing on the deck. Fun to watch the surfers, see turtles, and awesome sunsets. The house had everything our family needed and was so comfortable. The pool was great after a long day out and you have the best poke place around right on property, Da Poke Shack.
Thank you, Mike, for sharing this little piece of paradise. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We live on the island and have stayed at numerous condos in different areas for decades. Most Alii Drive condos have cheap furniture and appliances , so this was a nice surprise in the tasteful and high end high quality furnishings the view and location are great. The unit was very clean and everything worked great. The downsides have nothing to do with the owner:unit.
The condo owner was responsive and polite. The photos and descriptions were accurate. The condo layout is a little strange and there is little privacy. The pool is super small. I would not choose this condo (or the complex generally) for anyone other than a couple or maybe a couple with s single child as it is so cramped.
A downstairs neighbor came up to rudely complain to us about furniture dragging at all hours which was actually happening at a unit above us. The pool was often unusable due to many children taking it over and splashing and bullying others.
The on-property management/security were rude and hostile but also didn’t seem to actually enforce any rules.

Wow! We couldn’t be any closer to the ocean. Great views from a great lanai.
Mike’s place had everything. It was one of the best equipped condos we’ve stayed in. We will definitely return.

Great rental. Nice wide lanai. Could wake up to the roar of the surf and see the shore while laying in bed. Numerous fans were provided to help with the air flow breeze. Bedding was quite comfy. Plenty of parking during out stay in mid-May. It was all very nice.

Nice central west location provided good access to the West side of the island and 1 hour and 45 minute drive to Hilo area. Loved being next to the water and seeing and hearing the waves crash on rocks below. Saw sea turtles, sea urchins, crabs and fish in the rocky ocean front. Condo had all we needed for cooking and going to the beach. Housed my crew of 6 well.

Loved the lanai overlooking tide pools, surfing, and whales! Central location for all we wanted to do- surfing, snorkeling, Kona center, and the best Poke place right at the complex. Well stocked for all our needs, and Mike provided abundant and detailed info for sightseeing, restaurants, condo info, etc. great vacation and we hope to come back!
Only minor surprise was only one couch in the living room. For a family of four this is one of the things I look for, the images show two, but it worked out fine.

Absolutely loved staying here with my husband and daughter. Easy access to everything- ocean, beaches, shopping, main highways, attractions, airport, etc. Property owner even put together a guide to local and far away attractions/restaurants that we utilized consistently.

This unit is every bit as beautiful as the listing shows. what the listing can't communicate is the sound of the waves crashing and how wonderful it is. Having the ocean in sight at all times was such a luxury. I saw a turtle from the balcony and others saw whales breaching from their balconies while we were there. We also enjoyed watching the surfers. There was a youth surfing competition while we were there which we could watch from the balcony. Mike also provided lots of information to help make the trip a success. You won't regret booking this vacation rental!

The place is very clean and easy to check in or out. The kitchen is full of supplies, which is amazing!
In the morning we enjoyed watching surfers in the ocean on our balcony. In the evening. it's a great place to see the sunset. Great place to stay!
Mike is a very responsible owner, always quick responses with quite a lot of useful information.
Thank you, Mike!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was convenient to Kona restaurants and shopping and also to the Kona coffee farms. Nice furniture inside and out. The lanai was very spacious and a good place to enjoy the ocean view. As someone who appreciates good coffee, finding a coffee grinder in the kitchen was a nice touch. A four port charger for devices was in the living room which was useful and not something we usually find in rental properties. There were fans everywhere which helped keep the place cool. It was hot when we visited and the ceiling fan in the master bedroom seemed underpowered compared to the ceiling fans in the rest of the property but the available floor fans helped. Kitchen seemed to have everything you would need. We couldn’t figure out how to turn on the kitchen fan without turning on the kitchen light which was a minor inconvenience. The living room seemed dark with the dark wood and the dark upholstery. Lighter upholstery would have made the room seem brighter.

This property showed the most amazing sunsets. I loved eating breakfast on the balcony and sitting on the balcony while the sun went down. It’s a quick drive to down town area, and a quick walk to a marketplace with a taco food truck. Great location.

Everything you could ever want! Very clean, nice decor, great views, and Mike was even available for me to ask questions. Couldn’t ask for anything more ! Except maybe air conditioning … but that’s part of the Hawaii experience right? :)

We had a great stay at this ocean view condo. The kitchen was very well stocked which made the little bit of cooking that we did a breeze! The host shared a wealth of very useful information that helped us plan our adventures around the Big Island. The beach chairs came in handy for trips to the surrounding beaches. Easy access and well located for day trips on the west side of the island. Mahalo!

We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teens). Sunsets and lanai area were wonderful. Nice to be at a smaller property as nothing was crowded or noisy. Condo was really well stocked with necessities saving us time and money: coffee, laundry detergent, first aid kit, ziplock bags etc. You can tell the host comes and stays occasionally and was really attentive. Kids saw turtles in the tide pools on the first day!

This was our first visit to Hawaii big island it was so much fun. Best feature is the ocean view especially during sunset. The condo was clean and well prepared with everything you need for water activities like snorkeling gear and small surf boards. The host left detailed instructions of things to do in the island so make sure to check it out as it will save you research time. There is a parking lot underneath the building, a pool with jacuzzi, a popular poke shack and bbqs.
We will certainly come back!

The property was even bigger than expected and well appointed with all necessities and then some. The owner was communicative and super accomodating especially with last minute changes-additions. The place was immaculate-the only "downside" was that the jacuzzi didnt work at the pool but not a big deal as the ocean was right outside. Hope to get to return-would stay here again and again.

My wife, 3 children aged 10, 12, and 16 all had an amazing time at the Condo! The kitchen had everything we needed, the lanai was the perfect spot for a morning coffee and drinks in the evening, where the beautiful sunstes can sweep all your cares away. We had plenty of beach and water supplies to keep us entertained the whole time. The condo was close to the beach, town, grocery shopping, and the view couldn't have been better. We'll definitely be going back, and staying in the condo again someday. Thanks Mike for a great stay!

Our Grandmothers/Granddaughters vacation was spectacular and this property was especially comfortable as our last accommodation. The well-appointed rooms and totally stocked kitchen were much appreciated. It was exceptionally clean, bright and airy. It was great to have a washer/dryer to take care of laundry. Cool sea breezes flowed through the living room and the constant wave action rocked us to sleep. Relaxing on the lanai, we watched surfers, boats, parasailing flights, local birds and sea life which changed every day. We even saw the "Buck Moon" and the resulting high tide. This is the perfect location for local access to beaches, shops and restaurants and for touring the island to the National Volcano Park, Hilo and activities like Zip Lining. A dip in the pool was very pleasant and parking was secure and always available. Maintenance was efficient when we had one small request. The owner, Mike, was very attentive and helpful. We look forward to visiting again.

We had a wonderful stay! Two bedrooms, kitchen and lanai…didn’t need anything more! Well equipped with beach supplies! Great assortment of kitchen pantry items, and spectacular view from both sides!
Tide pools, location to surrounding activities, if only we had more days of vacation!
Mike provided so much information about the area, it helped us plan our days.
Thanks for the attention to detail all along the way!

Location couldn't be more perfect and the unit itself is easily one of the best we've ever encountered. Extremely well stocked kitchen, very nice updates and every convenience included. Very quick and clear communication from host. No AC but with ceiling fans throughout and the ocean breeze it was not missed at all. Would love to return and can highly recommend.

Perfect Ocean Wave Therapy. Exceeded my expectations. Fantastic views. Loved watching the surfers, especially in the early morning...and when I found the binoculars hanging behind the door, I knew I was in the right place. Everything you need to have a great time in Kona. The bedrooms are separated so you don't hear anything but the ocean....put me to sleep every night. Mahalo Mike G.!

This was a wonderful place for our family of four. The condo is right overlooking the tide pools of the rocky coast. The sound of the waves is magical. Easy to find, nice non-crowded pool and hot tub, good kitchen with everything you need. The only thing I was surprised to see was no AC (my fault for not reading all the other reviews closely), but it was not at all needed.
A great place right on the coast, we would love to return on another visit.

Everything was as nice as they advertise. Check in and out was easy. Mike was a great host. He called to see how everything was going just as we arrived. We had a small problem with the tv in the spare bedroom but just let him know and someone was there to check it out within a couple of hours. There was plenty of beach gear to use and beach towels. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Had a great week on the island and picked a great place to stay. Will stay here again if we every make it back to the Big Island.

What an absolutely wonderful place! The views from the lanai were amazing and we could have spent our whole time there just watching the ocean and tide pools below. My kids enjoyed exploring those tide pools (we saw turtles, colorful fish, crabs!) and playing in the pocket sand beaches right there on the property. The pool was lovely and warm. The unit itself it well equipped, clean and truly perfect. The ocean breeze goes right through, no need for AC at all, but the fans also help. Kitchen was extremely well equipped and we enjoyed grilling out and eating dinner on the lanai. I would love to stay there again!

Thank you Mike for allowing Kat and I for allowing us to stay in this fabulous condo. We thoroughly enjoyed the spectacular views and sunsets from the lanai.

We absolutely loved this rental. It had everything we needed. I loved the sound of the waves from the lanai. The distance to town is just a short drive. The bathrooms were roomy. The views were beautiful and sunset’s amazing. It was well stocked for cooking. We saw four turtles off the lanai at once. I would definitely rent again. We were sad to leave!

Almost everything about securing and enjoying this property, from the owner's impressive and helpful communication to the comfort, attractiveness, views and outfitting of the condo exceeded our expectations. Did I mention views! I could watch the sunset from the large lanai every night for the rest of my life!! We'd return without hesitation when Big Island is in our travel plans.

We were there for the Ironman World Championship. My son was a finisher. The space was perfect (king room for us, twins for my son and his wife, twins in living room for our grandchildren). Lovely lanai for viewing and photo shots. The kitchen is well supplied, two good bathrooms and towels. We loved the location. The only drawback for us was no AC. We were aware of that prior to going but didn't think the humidity would be as high. All in all, we really liked the place.

Property was just as it looked and was described in the listing, We enjoyed the ocean sounds during the night. The owner provided us with everything we might have needed. We stayed during the week thus it was quiet. Perfect lodging for 2 people.

This condo was the perfect location for us. It isn't right in the middle of the tourist activity but is close enough to easily get to shopping, food, etc.. A perfect escape from the more hectic parts of town. And the view of the ocean is simply amazing. We spent every evening sitting watching the sunset which was such a relaxing way to end days full of snorkeling and hiking nearby. The host provided great information about activities, broken out by distance from the condo which was awesome. Parking is free and we never had an issue finding a spot. Overall, this was a dream location for us and we will definitely be back!!

To be honest, its not really a good place for 6 people. Its better for 4. NO A/C (I didn't see that on the listing - my bad). It has wonderful ocean noise at night, smaller place but good price for the week (at the time I booked - 1 year in advance). Back room gets quite warm if door is closed. need to leave all windows open to keep it cool at night in living and master. Great Lanai view of Sunsets. Pool convenient in middle is shaded and nice a warm. Owner wonderfully responsive and helpful from Out of state.

The highlight for us was the large balcony with a perfect ocean view. Any time spent in the condo was pretty much spent on the balcony. The property is also wonderfully stocked with all the beach going essentials you need to have a great trip (chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, snorkle gear!) I will search for this property again on my next visit to Kona.

So much in a compact place and it was perfect. The view was amazing, the kitchen well equipped and a great size, beds for the 4 of us, laundry, a pool and privacy screen and great sized balcony so the early risers and late nighters could coexist for a few days!
Great central location too.
Jean S.
April 2022
Lovely place. Perfect for our family of four. Place was clean and the view from the lanai watching the sunset was spectacular. As noted, there is no AC and it does keep cool if you follow their directions but it also means everything stays a little damp and your hair will be always beach wavy! Nothing wrong with that as we were on vacation but I didn’t truly realize how much until we were there. It was hot enough so we had do keep all screen doors open and all fans on all the time.
Little pool there helped me with my kids attention as well! It was a lovely place to be for a few days.
Marc L.
April 2022
This was a perfect spot for our family of 4 while on the Big Island. Having coffee on the lanai each morning while watching the surfers and the waves crashing was something we won't forget -- just paradise. Our boys loved turtle watching in the tide pool below the condo. Da Poke Shack, which is on property, is fantastic for lunch (not open for dinner). We really appreciated the beach chairs, cooler, boogie boards (although the best ones were broken), snorkel gear, and other beach items. The condo was clean and well appointed with everything we needed (except oddly, a spatula for scrambled eggs?). Thank you!
Albert W.
March 2022
The condo seems old. The building by the sea is special. One can hear and watch the wave right outside the balcony. Without AC, the condo temperature can be uncomfortable despite the fans. There are bugs here and there sometime, and my friend was afraid of them. The bathrooms are not as clean as most 2-star hotel rooms. The shower curtain in one room had too many stains on it. Wished it was cleaner and it would be a much better value in our opinion.
SHANNON
March 2022
Great experience! Would stay here again! I’m not sure it is possible to get a better view from your balcony in Kona! If you like the idea of falling asleep to loud crashing waves, this is the place for you! We enjoyed many mornings on the patio watching the surfers and waves. Fully stocked, had everything we needed (even more than expected). We appreciated that the owner truly cared about our experience, from sending detailed emails before check in to calling us to check on our stay. Parking was easy, nice pool area, and barbeques are great for grilling! Had all of the beach necessities! Tips for your stay: If you are coming to Kona for the first time you may want to consider shopping at the local Target. Clean store, easy to find things, felt their pricing was lower than other stores. We made a day trip to the volcano and ate lunch at the restaurant overlooking the volcano. Worth the trip, less than a 2 hour drive. I highly recommend the lava tubes too! We visited many great beaches and LOVED the island breeze luau!!! We will never forget our stay here!

This is as close to the ocean you can get.

February 2022
My wife and I celebrated our 20th anniversary here. You can sit on the lanai and watch the sun set every night. It never seems to get old. In the morning you can see surfers to your left, sea turtles in the tidepool below, and the waves crashing on the lava rocks. If it's hot you can let the ocean breezes flow all the way through the place. Inside, the place is fully equipped with just about anything you could need. In addition to the master suite, the bedroom at the other end has two twin beds and it appears the couch could be used as well. After dark, we were able to stream a program we got hooked on back home. We like to cook and only ate out once during our stay. We never wanted for a tool or a utensil. The parking on the first level is very convenient and you can take the stairs or elevator up the two levels to the unit.
Be sure to read the information in the binder that Mike left for you. It's informative and useful. I arrived needing to relax and thought "I don't have time to read that!" but the next day, I took a deep breath, read it, and I was glad I did. There's lots of good information about the condo and things to do on the island. It's clear that your host cares about you and he's quick to respond to any questions. Unlike many other listings, it's clear from the materials on VRBO that you're getting a place with a direct ocean view.
Christopher S.
January 2022
The place was amazing and Mike was a great host making it super easy. The place was clean and very well equipped leaving nothing to need. The parking and access was easy. The condo is right on the shore with tidepools right outside, where we were able to see a sea turtle, fish, crabs and two moray eels (who didn't seem to like each other). I would highly recommend this rental for anyone coming to the Kona area.
Cynthia S.
November 2021
Great location, super clean unit, comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen and beautiful sunsets on the Lanai. Saw turtles every day right outside our unit. Also it was so nice to have all the beach & snorkeling supplies. Just 10 minutes away from shopping & restaurants. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that I had and made several great suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants. I was a little concerned about not having A/C in this unit but with the ceiling fan and opening the slider doors to let the beautiful ocean breeze in, the temperature was perfect and the sound of the ocean lulls you to sleep. Would stay here again 100%
Lea W.
November 2021
We stayed at Mike’s condo from October 23 - October 30 and it was absolutely lovely. It was exactly as pictured on the Vrbo site. It spotless and had everything we needed and more. Mike sent a ton details regarding everything from where to by groceries to great itineraries well ahead of our trip which helped us plan and get the most out of our stay. The views of the ocean are unbeatable. The location is perfect. I will definitely be booking future stays at his place. Thanks so much for a a great experience Mike.

Mike's place was clean and he was very attentive to any concern we had. Our boys loved their twin bed room with TV. We loved our oceanfront room with amazing views of the full moon reflecting off the ocean, perfect breezes, and restful soundscape. Mike's helpful notes on travel to and within the island was so great. Thank you!

This is a great condo, perfect location, awesome sunset from your balcony, beautiful lava beach, plus sea turtles. We made the mistake of grocery shopping before our arrival, the. Found that a lot of basic staples were provided. Excellent communication and response from the owner. Mahalo, Mike!
Nathan W.
October 2021
I’ll start by saying we were lucky enough to see turtles right out front of the condo, pretty amazing!
Location here is great and running into Kona for coffee, bars, dinner was no problem at all. Neighbors were quiet and respectful. Loved the beach amenities that came with the unit and the outdoor patio. Unit and building is dated which was hard to see in the photos but for having a full kitchen, multiple rooms and washer/dryer we were satisfied. Recommend using the pool for a dip! We didn’t until the very last day and regretted it once we spent time there.

BEST LANAI we could've asked for - - we loved starting and ending our day with such an amazing view. Condo was in a great location. Not far from many beaches, restaurants and farmers markets. You won't regret booking this place!

The host provided extensive information about the property and things to do and see while staying there. He also gave very clear instructions about how to check in and use the facilities. The condo was very well supplied with kitchen equipment and condiments, spices, etc.
Leif W.
September 2021
The place was perfect and the view from the lanai looked like a postcard. We saw a pod of dolphins swim by while drinking out coffee on it. The location was perfect for us as it was a little closer to the snorkeling spots and right above Da Poke Shack. Communicating with the owner was easy and helpful. I've already recommended the rental to friends.
August 2021
I’ll start off by saying that this condo has pretty much everything you will need. I really liked that about the place. It’s a cute setup and right by the ocean. When we arrived the fridge wasn’t clean so we had to wipe that out. Mike had called me later in the evening to make sure we got in ok. I missed the call but responded by message about the fridge. Never heard back. There’s also no AC. We are from an area that’s 70-75 all the time so the humidity can get to you sometimes when you can’t cool down. Or make it hard to sleep when it’s 80°. Cable tv also wasn’t working so we didn’t have that amenity in the evenings when we were trying to relax. We also had an extra guest charge and we are a family of five. Not sure where that came in when the condo ad states you can sleep six. Other than that, it was great to watch the sunsets and the turtles. There isn’t a great place to swim at the condo but there’s other beaches close by. Restaurants and grocery stores are close by. Lots of people out in the morning walking or jogging the roads was nice. The vibe was nice. Property is kept really clean on the outside. Parking is easy.
Irene S.
August 2021
Laid back vibe with extra amenities from boogie boards to beach chairs to aloe for sun burn. From the parking garage and the balcony we could watch the surfers endlessly. There were occasional sighting of a sea turtle close to where we picnicked on property.
July 2021
If you are looking for an ocean-front condo, close to everything, this is it! The condo is perfectly situated just south of town and close to the sandy beaches. The Poke Shack in the complex is the BEST in town and the long line of locals proves that. The condo is well-appointed and has beautiful granite counters. You also get everything you need for your beach days...chairs, cooler, snorkel stuff... you name it. We will definitely stay here again. The pictures perfectly represent the condo but that view, you need to see for yourself...unforgetable.
LOUIS F.
July 2021
Cozy condo near Kailua Village. We loved the sounds of the ocean lulling us to sleep every night. Great dealing with owner. A bit hard to find nearby food due to huge crowds. Also some questionable characters hanging around not at the condo but down the street. These were minor issues.

This was just the kind of place we were looking for. My wife and I and our two kids (12 and 9) had a great time. With the tide pools, breathtaking view, and the swimming pools there was enough to do on property. Close to restaurants and stores as needed. It was a perfect home base for us during our stay. Made use of some of the beachgoing gear (boogieboards, snorkels, chairs, coolers) as well which was a huge help.

Everything was perfect. The view and condo are absolutely second to none.

Our family loved the condo! The lanai was the best! Waking up and having your morning coffee and having cocktails in the evening. The ocean and crashing waves were right there. We appreciated all the extras like boogie boards, snorkel gear, chairs and umbrella. It made our trips to the beach easy. Lots of space for a family of four and close to everything. Getting poke @ Da Poke Shack is a must! Freshest poke ever so ono! Enjoyed ourselves so much after after a year of teaching/ learning remotely! Mahalo!

Our family of 2 adults and 2 teens had a wonderful stay at this condo. We had plenty of space, the beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked and the location and view from
the deck was terrific. We ate almost all of our meals outside and really loved the ocean sounds at night. Mike took care of one minor issue very promptly after our arrival and was great to work with. Would highly recommend staying here!

My family stayed here for one night and we were taken away by the beautiful oceanfront views from the windows and large lanai of the property. It is stunning!!! We had a hard time leaving!
As for the property, Mike really has everything you would need and in good condition too! The renovated unit shows, it’s looks updated and was clean.
When I first arrived I had not been sent a lockbox code and I texted Mike and within 30 seconds he called me to give us the code. He also checked in 30 mins later to make sure everything was going well - great host!
All and all great stay! The only con of the unit is it does not have AC (though for our one night stay it wasn’t a problem and all the fans were sufficient), but if you intend to stay longer and are sensitive to heat or the stickiness that comes from being seaside, bear it in mind.
Highly recommend

Property was right on the ocean. A little warm without a/c, but wonderful wave sounds to help us fall asleep. Condo was clean and as expected.. Some street noise when the windows/screen door were open to allow breeze as that side is fairly close to the road. Nice location!

It was an amazing place! We loved it!
We can hear the waves, look the sunset, surfers, turtles, beach near by. Beautiful we enjoyed every moment.
