I have stayed many places in Kona but this was by far my favorite. The views from the expansive balcony were incredible. The salt water pool was amazing and the grounds were immaculate. The condo itself was very tastefully furnished, beds and sofa were extremely comfortable. Everything was fully stocked and they even had beach chairs and an umbrella. I would highly recommend. As a note, the second bedroom doesn’t have an actual door but rather a
Sliding louvered doors so little privacy for the second room (which wasn’t a problem for us).

What a wonderful place to spend a week unwinding with family! We had an excellent stay. One of the most well appointment places we have been. The kitchen literally had everything you could need. And there were lots of towels in the bathrooms. We had an excellent stay and really appreciated all of the amenities. The kids loved the pools and the view was amazing - morning and night!

Fantastic property. Superb lanai with daily whale watching and glorious sunsets. Kitchen was well-stocked with everything you could need. Very clean and updated condo. Grounds were well-maintained and kept very clean as well. Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed for 12 nights and still couldn't get enough. The unit is comfortable in every sense: great comfy couch, tastefully remodeled, full kitchen with all the necessities, etc. The outdoor furniture is top quality and just the right types of seating options. The lanai - words can't describe the serenity. The redone saltwater pool is perfectly clean and maintained. It never feels full, and the complex us lovingly maintained overall. Very peaceful and quiet crowd.
But just as important - the owners are delightful. They are responsive, helpful, understanding, and just a pleasure to deal with every time. This was our 3rd stay and we'll be back again. Feels like home away from home.

Amazing property! Very clean and looked exactly like the photos. We honestly did not want to ever leave! The view is phenomenal. The pool was very clean as well, perfect alternative to going to the beach especially with young kids. Perfect location, only about 1.5 miles driving away from the main strip. We had to drive about 45 minutes to get to white sand beaches but all worth it. My kids and husband loved staying there as well. Would definitely re-book here again! Thanks for taking such good care of your property and for sharing it with us during our stay!

The location & amenities were great. The only issue we had was this was an older property. As such, it showed. The water was shut off 4 out the of the 7 days we were there for repairs. I realize the host has NO control of this, it did become an inconvenience because it happened so frequently. Overall, very nice experience.

Fantastic property! Used the lanai every morning for coffee and evening for sunsets and cocktails. Would most definitely stay here again! Perfect location close to town, but just far enough away to escape the people and traffic. Loved this condo!!!

We were thrilled to find upon arrival the property was even better than displayed. Great views and as close to the ocean as one can probably get on in Kona. The smaller bed left a bit to be desired, but all in all, we left happy hoping to rebook it in the near future.

We've been coming to Casa since 2010, this is by far the nicest condo we've stayed in! The wrap around lanai is spectacular, with unbelievable views and lovely new furniture. The side lanai offers shade during afternoon sun, and the new loungers are heavenly to read a good book.
The condo is extremely comfortable and spacious. So many nice touches from beach towels, to coolers / chairs for beach days and a wagon for bringing in Costco haul. The kitchen is well equipped and appliances are new (fridge has an icemaker!). Beds are very comfortable, and unit has an ample supply of towels.
Communication with Errica and Dave was easy, friendly and seamless. An AMAZING stay!

Our goal was to find a big lanai with a view and this place delivered. We enjoyed watching dolphins and whales most days and had gorgeous sunsets every night. We had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Communication with Errica was quick and easy. We highly recommend this condo for what a trip to the islands should be about, bliss!!!

My son and I had a lovely stay. The separate bedrooms provided adequate privacy and the amenities available in the apartment complex made the stay extraordinarily comfortable. Thank you for a memorable weekend on the big island!

The view the view the view. Incredible. We spent quite a bit of time on the lanai. Amazing views of dolphins and the sunsets were fantastic. The location of the property was perfect for us. We really enjoyed the large salt water pool.
We will absolutely return!

Can’t wait to be at this property again. The entire experience was perfect, from reserving it, to check in, to enjoying our 11 days there. We practically lived on the lanai, with 180 degree views of the ocean and sunsets. And the Casa property has many amenities and the residents and staff are all super friendly. A fantastic property that makes for a fantastic trip.

What an awesome place to spend a vacation in Hawaii!! The unit is very well appointed, and very comfortable. All the little things were thought of, from laundry soap and softener for the washing machine and dryer to a well stocked kitchen including spices and the comfortable furniture on either of the lanai's. The sunsets are priceless and the views are unforgettable. The salt water pool was perfect. The complex itself is very well maintained. The location is not downtown Kona, which is a plus. Very easy to stage day trips from this location, or take a quick trip to Kahalu'u for an early morning surf or snorkel. Really appreciate the effort you and your family put into renovating and decorating your home Erica. Hope to be back soon.

This condo is wonderful in every way! It is beautifully updated; everything is new and absolutely gorgeous. It's also very well stocked--from the kitchen to linens to coolers and beach chairs, we had everything we needed and then some. The beds are super comfortable, and all of the furnishings are really nice. The host was responsive and very easy to work with. We love the Casa and have been staying there for years; we have been in several different units, and this one is an absolute gem. I definitely look forward to returning in the future.

This is the most beautiful place we have ever stayed! The view from the lanai, directly over the surf, is unbeatable anywhere. Loved sunset and sunrise, and even got photos of full moon on the ocean. The condo itself is beautifully furnished and lovingly cared for. The owners have great taste in furnishings, the appliances are new and in great condition (loved the icemaker in the freezer!) A bit of a walk back from the elevators to reach the seaside, but well worth a little inconvenience. Would recommend this condo to anyone wanting to hear and see the surf for the entire stay, in a luxurious setting! Thank you so much Errica - just love it!

What an excellent location! The view and sound of the ocean was incredible and soothing. The condo was beautiful, comfortable, clean, and very well appointed with essentials such as completely stocked kitchen appliances, pots, pans, coffee pot, toaster, blender, utensils for cooking and serving, etc. There were even cutting boards and a wine opener. We had everything we needed; just had to purchase beverages and food. We appreciated the beach towels, coolers & ice packs from the freezer for day trips.
The host provided excellent instructions on keyless entry (awesome! No keys to keep track of) and parking within and outside of the gate. Easy.
There was some walking and stairs involved in getting luggage and groceries from the front of the building to the back (where condo is located on the third floor) but there is also an elevator halfway from the parking lot. For the view, it was WORTH it! There was a fold up wagon in a closet which really came in handy.
The best part was eating breakfast and viewing sunsets on the lanai every day.
My only suggestion would be a box of tissues would have been nice. TP ran low as I had to share the roll with my nose.
We had a wonderfully relaxing stay! If we are fortunate to return to Hawaii we will eagerly seek out this rental again.

You will not regret booking this property for a second. It was phenomenal on all levels - the location, the layout of the condo, the cleanliness, the amenities with glorious ocean views - the list goes on and on. You are close to all the tourist stuff (restaurants, shops)...familiar grocery stores (Safeway, Target, Walmart) and easy drive to get out into the country and experience local life. We stayed for 7 nights and wanted to continue being there - book this property right now, you will not regret a moment of your time. One note - it is a bit of a walk and a few stairs (there is an elevator with easy access to the parking lot to help get you and your luggage to the 3rd floor) to get to the condo. So, if you have any mobility issues, this may not be the right fit for you.

Loved being here. Salt pool was under maintenance and that was a bummer, as it looks so beautiful derectly on the ocean. But we understand this things happen, so just did more beach time. Thank you for a wonderful place and the beach chairs and umbrellas were a wonderful convenience to be able to enjoy.

Condo descriptions were everything stated: newly renovated, tastefully decorated, clean, nicely stocked, comfy beds, amazing lanai and ocean views. There was only one big problem - the large oceanfront pool, situated below the unit, was under construction. We understand that remodeling has to be done sometime but Errica did not advise us until after we paid our final payment and just 2 days prior to check in. From the day we arrived till the day we left the workers were laying down new tiles across the entire surface of the pool. We watched their progress for 8 days as they diligently cut and sized their mosaic design with their skill saws and pounding in their construction site of trucks, tents, pallets, buckets & water pumps all right below the unit's lanai. We, and the nearby units, also had to listen to the boom box music of the workers blasting for 3 days (until someone must have complained and it finally stopped). From 8:00am to 5:00pm every day, except Sunday and during their daily lunch breaks, our naps and reading and conversations were constantly interrupted. And, because one pool was unavailable, the other, much smaller pool, was often overcrowded. Aside from not having the use & convenience of the oceanfront pool & the constant noise, the lack of transparency by the owner is what disappointed us most. Had Errica put a disclaimer on her VRBO listing, we would have had the choice to stay at this property on another occasion and certainly not during construction. We noticed many units located nearby were vacant & that most of them on VRBO posted a full disclosure of construction noise & that one pool was not in use. That was the right thing to do. We are not your typical visitors that are out all day sightseeing. We have been visiting the Islands all of our lives & vacation there to get away, to relax, have quiet time & to enjoy the ocean views. After the first day of our stay, we emailed Errica to let her know about a couple of minor issues in the condo & the main issue of concern - the construction. Errica did offer to refund our money if we wanted to leave but we weren’t about to spend any of our precious vacation time trying to find another available condo 2 days into our stay during the height of Summer when accommodations & rental cars were scarce. By the way, the small issues were not addressed, but we dealt with them. We're disappointed with lack of transparency of the owner & will not be returning to this condo.

Property would have been perfect had It not been above a major renovation of the saltwater pool. Was notified about a week before checking in the renovation was happening. Feel as if the disclosure of the status of the project could have been provided to me earlier and been more accurate. Would have stayed elsewhere had I known it was mid-renovation during my stay. With a week notice there were only 3 other vrbo listings available in the immediate area. All other aspects, location, quality of condo, A/C, beautiful sunsets, were exactly as advertised and lived up to the hype.

Thank you Ericca! Your place was everything we hoped for and more. It was a perfect place for the four of us to enjoy the Big Island. Mahalo!

The location is premier on the island, close to beaches, restaurants, walking distance to downtown area, and drive-able to South Point, north shore and Volcano NP. This particular unit was incredibly quiet & we were all lulled to sleep each night by the crashing waves. The pools were just what we all needed (refreshing, not too cool, clean) & the sandy area satisfied our littlest one. We used the grills on site a few times and were pleased with their quality. Parking was very easy at the resort and the drive on Ali'i was stunning with all the beaches/ocean front views. We really enjoyed this unit.
The condo did get warm in the evenings, but we kept the wrap-around drapes open all day (we had to with that view!), so perhaps that contributed. The owner provided several fans which was helpful.
The condo also had a couple coolers, beach chairs & umbrella, and boogie board, as well as plenty of beach towels. I'd suggest sand buckets/toys for future guests. The kitchen was well stocked & Safeway is just a few minutes away for groceries.
Thank you again. It was exactly what our family needed.

This was our second stay at what has become the definition of the perfect place for our family. The lanai is what this place is all about. You cannot beat the combination of a wrap around lanai on the top floor over-looking the ocean and a crystal clear saltwater pool. NOTHING like it.
The inside has been tastefully updated and is always clean, with everything we need to be comfortable: fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, comfy couch, etc.
The complex and quiet and clean. Very calm - just our kind of pace. No noisy partying types. Very laid back and feels like real life.
Thank you Errica for being so easy to communicate with and overall fantastic owner.
We'll be back!

The condo was better than expected. Clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The view is spectacular. The location is ideal. The grounds are well maintained and gorgeous. The pools and beach were delightful. Captain Cook is the place to snorkel. Brunch at Mauna Kea Resort then enjoy the beach. Broke the Mouth is fantastic food and amazing service. Place of Refuge should not be missed. We would highly recommend staying in condo 319.....worth every cent. Aloha!!!!!

Beautiful views, the pool near the ocean was really nice. Close to town. Beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed ourselves.
