The condo was exactly as in the pictures. What a great way to eat breakfast staring at the ocean enjoying the lanai. The pool was great. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay. Kona resort communication was great. They reached out couple days into the stay to see if we needed anything. Very appreciated.

This place was clean, beautiful, a great pool and a wonderful snorkeling beach right across the street

During my four-night, five-day stay, the air conditioning was out for the entire duration. Indoor temperatures soared to 83 degrees Fahrenheit for two nights, exacerbated by high humidity (two rainy nights). As a result, sleep was elusive, with no more than 3-4 hours attained each night. Naturally, this impacted my daytime comfort and energy levels.
Despite these conditions, the terms of the contract stated no refund would be granted for utility failures. However, I received a mere 6.7% refund for the ruined trip.
Adding to the inconvenience, construction work on the pool commenced during the latter part of my stay.
While the property boasts a good location and excellent views, it is managed by a professional management company. Given this, one would expect thorough preparation and service. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations, with no option for cancellation, an early requirement for full payment, and limited recourse for the discomfort endured.
I was very disappointed and and definitely not coming back.

This condo and property management company exceeded our expectations. The home was well appointed, and we had no trouble cooking in an unfamiliar kitchen. Eating meals on the balcony patio was a highlight of our trip. As it is on the third floor, there are many steps, but our 80 year old mother went up and down them just fine. The street noise was a bit loud at night and walking to the shopping center was a little too far, but the ocean view was priceless. We enjoyed being just steps from Kahalu'u Beach which has lifeguards during the day. This was a plus as we are unexperienced snorkelers, and the water can be dangerous and difficult to swim in. The management company (Kona Coast Vacations) was extremely helpful and responsive. The saltwater pool and spa (chlorine) was nice as well. We did not want to leave, and hope to come back someday!

Couldn’t ask for a better place for our multigenerational family to call home while on the Big Island. The location and view from the lanai were a dream (and worth the stair climb)!

Wonderful condo for 3 adults and 3 kids. So convenient to many beaches and amenities. The condo was well stocked and the pool was a plus.

We spent most of our time on the lanai, enjoying the weather and view of the ocean. We saw whales every day! The location was good, centrally located on the west coast of the island and right across the street from Kahaluu state beach. The kitchen was well stocked and grocery stores were convenient.

Beautiful place and a great location. Right across from one of the most beautiful snorkeling beaches! We saw colorful fish and even sea turtles. Check in was easy and having the concierge help us with our activities was super helpful! We would definitely stay at this place again.

Overall, it was a great location, really nice condo but we lost A/C for over a day/night and it was unpleasant. We had problems with pool/beach key which were resolved in less than 24 hours. I would recommend the condo.

Excellent location for family vacation to Big Island. Easily accommodated six adults.

Beautiful location and excellent views from the lanai. However, the furniture is a little dated and in one of the rooms there was no dresser accessible to store our clothing. It was locked. It’s on the 3rd floor with no elevator and a little challenging for my elderly parents and we could’ve used an umbrella and beach chairs during our stay but we were aware of that when we booked! Overall, we had a nice stay! Mahalo!

I adored this condo. It was extremely clean, very quiet, and incredible views. The master bedroom and bathroom were gorgeous. I loved everything about it, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Thank you so much for the best week ever!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Kahaluu Beach Villas. The apartment was impeccable and perfectly suited for our family of 5. The location was terrific - Kahaluu Beach Park is one of the best snorkeling areas for beginners on the Big island, and was right across the street. Overall a very convenient location for exploring the Kona coast. The drive to Volcano national park is relatively long (80-90 miles), but that is true in general from anywhere on the Kona coast. The local management team was great. We would definitely stay here again.

This property is exactly like in the photos, except the photos do not do it justice. We stayed at 3 properties on 3 different islands, and this was everyone’s favorite. The location is ideal and the pool and hot tub are directly below the balcony so everyone can stay connected. Everything was absolutely perfect!

This condo had plenty of space & was very cozy, clean and comfortable! We enjoyed having coffee and eating on the patio each morning and evening & watching the beautiful sunset each night. The location was GREAT! There is a grocery store and plenty of restaurants within minutes. The snorkeling right across the street was incredible!!! Plenty of sights to see nearby - loved our drive north to the Pololu Valley. There was some donated beach gear in closet - chairs, pool noodles, snorkeling gear, beach toys. Beach towels provided. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of kitchen utensils and appliances to make cooking easy! We definitely enjoyed our stay!!

Such a convenient location for snorkelers like us. We loved being able to snorkel right across the street. Two-step was only about 20 minutes to the south, and the restaurants in Kona were only about 20 minutes to the north. The places that do night swims with Manta rays are also just a few minutes away. The place was clean and had plenty of space for our family of 6. This was our 4th trip to the big island and this is the best place we've stayed yet.

The location here is gorgeous - right across from a terrific snorkeling spot. We had two young kids and grandma with us and the space was ideal- comfortable with plenty of space and extra sand toys, pool toys, and beach gear. The on-site pool and grill area was also a wonderful amenity. The only thing to know - there IS AC but it automatically turns off if any door or window is opened. That’s perfectly reasonable but isn’t written down anywhere so we spent the first few days with all the windows open thinking it was broken. It was March so keeping the windows open was pretty pleasant, but just thought we’d give others a heads up. Highly recommend this sweet spot!

Lovely suite for a family, very convenient location, close to good beginner surfing and snorkeling, 2 minutes from grocery store, nice pool. No white sand beach though, if that is important to you. Lots of good communication from the property manager, very easy to deal with. I would highly recommend.

The condo was part of a great complex with pool, spa, and grill. While we were inconvenienced a few days by painters on the lanai, it wasn’t a great impediment and showed that the HOA takes pride in the complex. I would definitely stay here again.

As a frequent traveling group, this was one of our favorite rentals ever! Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped, with everything we needed, plus more! We loved eating breakfast on the lanai porch, and watching all the walkers and joggers in the morning. We had dryer issues on day one. Within hours it was repaired! There is a trolley stop out front that took us uptown to the restaurants and shops.
The only downside is that it is on the 3rd floor, without elevator access. We loved it so much that if we ever make it back to Hawaii we will try to rent this property again!

The listing is spot on, this is a spacious condo located in a great location on the island. It's got 3 bedrooms so it's perfect for groups or families. It comes equipped with lots of donated beach gear, games, and kitchen items to make the stay even more convenient. It's across the street from beach access and in a great spot for going north or south on the west side of the island.

Location is exceptional. Perfect for friends and family getaway. Lanai overlooks the pool and beach, which is perfect for snorkeling, swimming and stunning sunsets. Hourly city bike rentals just a block away if you want to explore the coastline. Slept 2 couples and 2 singles comfortably. In Keauhou, which is a few miles north of the city, which is perfect for me from a congestion standpoint. The Keauhou Shopping is blocks away and is extremely convenient with a KTA grocery, Long Drugs (ie CVS/Walgreens) and restaurants (Tropics, L&L Hawaiian, Thai and Mexican food just to name a few). Will book this place again when I come back.

We had a great time visiting this property. We spent a lot of time on the deck overlooking the ocean. We had some great day trips to see the volcano national park and white sand beaches. There was only one beach chair - we all had - a great time

Our stay was wonderful. It was everything we were hoping for. Being able to walk across the street to the beach that offers snorkeling, surfing, and boogie boarding was super convenient. The location was fairly quiet. There is road noise (to be expected being right on Ali'i Drive) but there were fans in the closets for white noise and wonderful light blocking window coverings in the master.
The place was extremely clean, and the property management company was excellent. They were quick and responsive and were flexible with adjusting check out time when our flight was delayed.
Five stars all around.

Excellent property - comfortable, well-appointed kitchen, great A/C, super convenient location. Bedroom and bath layout was perfect for our family. We rented surfboards one block away and the teens were up at sunrise EVERY morning surfing. Safe beach and we could watch surfers from the lanai. Bike rental kiosk steps from condo. Rode to Kona. Great mexican, pizza, and thai take out in Keauhou shopping center, less than 1 mile away. Easy and plenty of parking at condo. Would definitely stay here again!
