On the island for 11 days and this is our first time staying at this property. We have been to the big Island about 20 times. The ocean view is fantastic and the small A/C units make life so much better. Overall the place was great with just a few short comings. Depending on who is staying upstairs it can be quite loud in the condo and the stairway can get a bit loud as well. The location is great and the Lanai makes it all worth it. The kitchen wasn't 100% clean on arrival with dirty dishes in the dishwasher, but the bedroom and bathroom were great. We would stay here again.

We absolutely loved the location of this unit. The ocean view was spectacular. Wonderful sunsets. The water was so clear you could see the little yellow and black fish from the lani. The Sea Village was close to downtown Kona and the Market Place. The grounds were very nice. We enjoyed the bbq, salt water pool and jacuzzi. The unit was well stocked and in pretty good shape. It could use a bit of an update but still acceptable. When we arrived the unit had not been cleaned but Wayne, our host had someone come out and clean it right away. He also refunded our cleaning fee because the unit wasn’t ready which was very good. Our stay was wonderful. We loved it so much that we would definitely stay there again. Location, Location, Location!!

Great location overlooking the ocean it was so close with great views of the bay and open ocean with cruise ships coming in the odd time. Real close to downtown to walk 1.2 kms for dinner or drinks. Easy access to drive out from to do other site seeing. The ocean surf can be loud but its ocean surf and part of the full experience. The bbq and pool area very well maintained and great place to see the sun while bbqing. The condo itself was well provided for in decor and kitchen ware.

This condo sits above the waves in a beautiful bay where whale sightings are not unusual. The exterior property is well maintained. We did not have insects at all which is always a challenge in this climate. The staff were responsive and anticipated needs. It was a nice touch to find ice made and a couple of cold sodas in the refrigerator upon our arrival. The interior of the condo was immaculate! The only downside to this property is the livingroom has a hide-a-bed couch and only one chair for sitting. We like our evenings ‘comfy’. For many visitors who spend little time in their accommodation it would not be an issue. The condo has air conditioners, but they were noisy. We chose to use the overhead fans which worked for us to stay cool.

We enjoyed our stay here. The condo was clean and functional with the best views and sounds. The balcony pretty much sits over the ocean and you can hear the waves from inside. We loved watching the many shades of blue from the ever-changing ocean. The condo was well-equipped with many of the necessities that just aren't convenient to carry on a plane. The only issue we had was regarding the AC. We were afraid to use the AC too much because of possibly being charged extra for abnormal use. The phrasing "abnormal use" is somewhat vague, so we really didn't know how much was too much, nor did we know how much extra we would be charged if we used the AC too much. We ended up only using the one in the bedroom while we were sleeping.The house was pretty warm to us, especially after a day of adventure in the hot sun. Overall it was a great place and we would stay there again should we ever make it to Hawaii again.

My wife and I planned a quick one-week escape from work and family to rest, reconnect, and recharge. When we were considering Kona, friends warned that “there isn’t much to do there.” Upon hearing that, we booked! The condo is in a smaller complex walking distance to the downtown area. The unit was clean, well equipped and best of all had the most amazing balcony and view. Corrinna was amazing to work with and we even got to meet her. Our stay was right after the destruction and loss of life in Lahaina…many of the folks on in Kona were personally impacted and our hearts still remain heavy for them. With that said, we highly recommend!

The view was very nice. I was surprised that this rental was run down and in need of updating. The tile in the bathroom needs to be repaired before it causes a leak in the lower unit. The floor needs a good clean. The patio door track looks very dirty. The wall needs to be repaired. The bedroom air conditioner needs to be replaced. It doesn’t get the room cool. I would recommend painting the ceiling and walls, because it’s in bad shape. I was very happy the real estate company came out fast to address an issue with the tv. If they would paint, repair and clean it would be a very nice place to stay.

The view is even more beautiful than photos can describe! The place was very clean, bed was comfy, and there was everything you could think of provided. The only small complaint I have at all is that it got very warm at times, and it was hard to be comfortable knowing we might be charged for extra electricity. Overall one of the best places I’ve stayed in my extensive Hawaiian islands travels!!!

My partner and I enjoyed this property. We only stayed three nights, but it was close to a lot of great things.
The pool was decent, and the grounds were great. The view was the best part of the entire thing. It was so nice to have a deck to overlook the ocean.
The only cons were the kids who kept knocking on our front door, and yelling hello. I don’t know what that was about. A couple of the ceiling fans weren’t working properly. The bed wasn’t in great condition. Also, the unit could use some pest abatement.
If we were in the area again, we would consider staying here. I don’t think I would spend a long vacation on this property, however.

The view and property was very nice. Convenient location close to downtown. The cleaning of unit was less than adequate. The bed sheets were obviously not changed (slept in), ceiling fans had heavy accumulation of dust and a large (dead) cockroach in living room. I suggest hiring a new cleaning company.

Beautiful grounds and wonderful restaurants and beaches walking distance. Town was about a mile walk one way. There are no beach chairs or ice chest in this unit. We brought our own snorkeling gear. The back door slider does need some serious attention very difficult to open and shut and does not completely latch.

My companion and I thoroughly enjoyed the property. Having AC was great but we didn't need to use it after 1st night, just opened up the glass shutters and it was amazing listening to the ocean waves below. Amazing view from the lanai as well. Super friendly guests at the pool/hot tub. Would recommend and stay at this property again!

This was a great place to stay. We arrived to an uncleaned condo, but Wayne was on it right away, and the cleaning crew arrived promptly, doing a lovely job. There are a few things that could use some maintenance, but overall it was a great stay. We very much enjoyed sitting on the lanai right over the water. It's also very close to the shops and restaurants, so very convenient.
Wayne is a great host, and very accommodating to any of our needs/requests.

We loved our stay in this perfectly located, oceanfront property! The property complex was welcoming and quiet. Sitting on the balcony listening to the waves was one of our favorite things to do. We saw dolphins and whales daily. The King bed in the bedroom was very comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked. The furniture is a bit outdated in the living room but the recliner chairs were comfortable to sit in. Overall, a very positive experience and we hope to be back soon!!!

Our stay was beyond our expectations. The unit was fantastic, literally right on the ocean, which was important to us for this trip. We ate meals there and loved the crashing waves on the rocks below. We did not expect the wonderful atmosphere of other guests and owners who gather in the central area to bbq and chat, and eat under the stars with sturdy picnic tables and torchlight. The swim pool and hot tub were also wonderful. The unit itself is clean and bright and had everything that we needed. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, even the pull out sofa was a hit with the family. We had plenty of clean towels and extra linens and blankets. We hope to stay again sometime in the future.

Loved the view and location. Nicely organized condo and very well equipped. Has not had much updating but everything works and is functional.

Loved all the beach equipment it came with.

This may be as close to the water as you can get. You are practically over the water when on the lanai. The condo was comfortable, clean, and quiet. Both AC units worked well, although we found we didn't need the one in the main room in the evening. Just open the slider and enjoy the sound of the waves. The location of the condo on the property is fantastic, close to parking and grills, but still quiet. The property itself is conveniently located and easy to get to restaurants, beaches, shopping. I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice, reasonably furnished & equipped, and fairly priced 1-bedroom oceanfront condo. Pool, hot tub, gas grilles all available. Longish walk downtown. AC in living room and bedroom are effective, but noisy - but that masks talkative guests and kids on stairs and landing immediately outside the bedroom. Lanai is lovely, especially in the morning. Only a poor too soft mattress in serious need of replacement keeps me from giving it 5-stars across the board. If you have any back issues be aware. If that were resolved, we would highly recommend this unit.

Coming back to the Big Island, we would 100% look for this rental again. We stayed here the end of Feb into March. Description and photos of property are accurate. You cannot get closer to the water! We saw whales and dolphins right from the lanai. We brought binoculars and could see them up close. The air-conditioned bed room is a must for my husband but did not need to use the one in living room with a nice breeze and wanted to hear the ocean. The lanai is an amazing spot for dinner and sunset.

As other people have written, the location of this property is outstanding! It is a second floor unit with the lanai practically on the ocean! I can't tell you how wonderful it was for someone from the frozen north of the US to experience eight days of the sights and sounds of the ocean just outiside their living room.
The description of the property was extremely accurate. It was clean in good condition. We've done a few Vrbo rentals and this one was equipped the best of any we've experienced (kitchen basics, towels, linens, etc_) The swimming pool, hot tub, and gas grills were located very near this unit and we used them a number of days.
We would definitely love to stay here again if we are in the area!
