This place is 100% about staying on the water! The view is amazing and can’t be beat. It’s an older place that had been updated with love. The unfortunate issue with the ants is something you’ll find all over the island and the owner is working on the issue.

Our family came to Kona for the first time and enjoyed every minute of it! This condo had the best location…close to everything. But the biggest selling point is the view! Beautiful! We sat out there every morning and evening!

Beautiful view of the ocean. The beds were comfortable and I loved that the second bedroom had twin beds.

This ocean side unit is a bit old but has a renovated interior that is very functional. The view is incredible, ocean waves and breeze. Easy walk to town and restaurants. Fronting street can be busy but ocean noise usually cancels the street sound and most drivers will yield when you are exiting the property.

We've rented more than 25 VRBO properties in Kona in 21 years, and this is one of the hilight ones for sure. Morning coffee and evening wine on the two lanai, watching whales and a great sunset, it's a place we would rent again for sure!

We LOVED staying at this property. We saw whale spouts, tails, pectoral fins and breaches from the lanai! Next time I will bring a telephoto lens. Fortunately Binoculars brought whales closer. We were mesmerized by the crashing waves, spotting Yellow Tang and other fish in the surf. We did close the glass patio doors, though, so we could sleep.
The shower was fantastic.
The washer and dryer were a wonderful luxury.
My brother and sister-in-law joined us here for some meals and whale-watching. They stayed in a nearby hotel.
The decor was tasteful, the bed we used and the furniture are comfortable.
The parking is tight. We are glad we had a small SUV.
The art gallery on ground level is delightful. Enjoyed meeting the artist.
A wonderful stay overall, in January of the year we celebrate our 50th Anniversary.

We loved this place. The ocean view was great. We spent a lot of time watching the waves crashing on the lava rocks. It was equipped with everything we needed for cooking and all the equipment needed for a day at the beach. The closest beach was a very easy walk. And the restaurants and tourist area was just a little farther.

We loved this condo and cannot say enough good things. The condo was stocked with regular household needs which cut down on expenses but also thoughtful things like beach chairs, coolers and snorkel gear. The bathrooms, washer dryer and flooring were all updated and which made the feel so luxurious! I saw past reviews about insects and was initially worried but as long as you kept things clean it was good. The only knock was parking which was tight but that’s typical Hawaii. The location was glorious. OMG! Quick walk to the beach, and then a close walk to downtown Kona. The condo was the nearest to the ocean we have ever stayed and so very peaceful with the constant breeze and soothing sound. The double balcony was amazing! We got to see spinner dolphins come so close and put on quite a show. We can't wait to stay there again!!

This property is close to a lot of the action, bars, restaurants, shopping. Also, what an awesome view! Good communication with owner. Just a tight fit for parking.
We had a great time staying here on our tour of the big island!

Nice place....not a personal fan of Asian furniture, do not find comfortable. The surf and traffic are loud, but tolerable. Overall, a good stay.

Great place to stay that's within walking distance of a beach where we seen a sea turtle. You can walk and find any kind of food or shops you can think of. The place had beach towels, and swimming gear that was a big help. Thanks again

We had a fabulous time in this beautifully decorated and equipped condo absolutely right on the water within walking distance of downtown Kona.
The owner was responsive. The check-in was easy and we thoroughly enjoyed it. One proviso is that the bedroom with two beds in it can be noisy with the traffic off of Alii Drive. It is, however, drowned out by the sound of the waves on the other side of the condo. !!!!!

The house was on the ocean and has a beautiful ocean view. However, the house has bug everywhere, particularly kitchen cabinets. The bug climbed in my phone and clothes. The owner needs to deep clean the house. Won’t recommend to others.

The location of this property is amazing - you couldn't get a better view of the ocean and the sunsets were unreal from either lanai. It was well-stocked with everything we needed, and I still have moments of zen thinking about sleeping with the door open to the master and hearing the waves. The second bedroom is on the smaller side but had it's own air conditioner and the beds were comfortable. The parking, as described, was tight if you have a bigger vehicle, but we backed in an it wasn't an issue. The location is the reason to book this property and you won't be disappointed. We walked to town a couple of times, and loved all of the restaurants and shops. Every place we ate had an amazing view of the ocean. We highly recommend Hapuna Beach, one of the harder to find sandy beaches, and taking a snorkeling boat trip and SUP. I would love to go back again. We love Maui, but the Big Island was such a treat.

The property was just as advertised and was in a perfect spot in Kona to access shopping and restaurants with just a short walk.

This property is closer than oceanfront, we were practically in the ocean and had great sunsets.

Our stay here was wonderful, the view is breathtaking and the fish in the wave made us not want to leave the balconies!
Mark was more than accommodating, considering we had to change our date because of Covid.
So glad we finally got to go to this wonderful home.

The location of this place was great! Only a short walk into Kona and right on the water. The lanai was perfect and we spent a lot of time on it.
Unfortunately, the place was not clean. It smelled musty, the linens were gray and ragged, and small ants were on the counter tops. There was also an abundance of leftover food from previous guests. Lanai table and washing machine were very rusty.

We spent two wonderful weeks at this property and truly did not want to go home.. The condo had everything from a fully stocked kitchen, to A/C through out the unit but most importantly a view like no other. The property manager was super easy to get a hold if need be, and made sure that everything was perfect the moment we arrived. We will definitely be back!

Perfect location to kona and all the shops. 2.4 miles from magic white sand beach highly recommend. Dolphins playing in the ocean right behind condo. Would definitely rent this place again. Thanks the Smiths

Mark’s condo was as advertised. Spacious, well stocked with all beach necessities kitchen appliances dishes, BBQ grill etc. The views from the lanai are second to none. Amazing sunsets every evening, waves crashing below and spinner dolphins in the bay!

We have stayed in a number of VRBO's on Hawaiian islands and this one is the best so far. It was clean, quiet, well-appointed, and in a great location. There are AC's and fans in each room and they actually work! And the view from the balconies is unparalleled. Parking is a bit snug but if you don't show up in an SUV you will be just fine. Truly a wonderful place to enjoy the Big Island.
