The view does not disappoint with the water so close and the waves crashing over the rocks making the most amazing experience. I also had amazing pictures from sunsets and sunrises each and every day . We saw fish each day, as well as rock crabs, and even turtles one night - all from the Lanai! The location is close to town and you're right off the main road. You'd think you'd hear road noise but you don't for 99% of the cars. The kitchen was well stocked and people seem to leave most items behind to share it forward. People also leave behind sunscreen as there were a few different bottles in the cabinet. My reason for 4 stars instead of five is because under their guest beds were extremely dirty, the master bathroom seat cover was hanging by a thread and ultimately broke, and there was a small pee smell around our master toilet and a sewer smell at times that wafted in our room from outside. We ran the bathroom fan almost 24/7 in the master bath which seemed to work to keep the smell out and kept our front door closed. I would have liked more bathroom towels and an extra kitchen towel but nothing we couldn't live without by any means. I'm just writing the nitpicky stuff in hopes that the owners get their cleaners dialed in a little more for under the beds and around the toilet bases. Honestly, all the rest of the pro's out weighed the cons!

To peer outside this condo and hear the waves crash is hypnotic. You can’t get any closer to the shore as you sit on the lanai and drink your morning coffee or your evening cocktail. The lanai is a bit tight but we could sit as a family of 4 and enjoy dinner. The condo is a perfect size for 2 weeks. The kitchen is well stocked and there are plenty of beach equipment available. My kids loved that they had full beds in the second bedroom. Beds were very comfy. We had a small electrical hiccup upon arrival but Jennifer was transparent and diligent. It was fixed by Monday, with no problems the remainder of our trip. The pool area is basic, wish we had 2 pool keys so individual family members could go back and forth. Loved watching the surfers and glancing out for whales!! Perfect location to drive to Kona Proper, short drive to and from the airport, and harbor. We would rent the unit again.

Unit is well situated about 1 mile south of downtown Kona. The unit is well furnished and appointed with anything you might need. The surfers directly outside your windows provide unending entertainment. Parking in Kona is outrageously expensive, about $20 / hr. Most restaurants in the Coconut Grove complex provide complimentary parking. Call wherever you are going to inquire if they offer parking.

Overlooking a rugged beach. Great surfers just out our lanai. Best beach and snorkeling equipment ever offered. Comfortable beds. Only complaint was with the barbecues. They never worked well. The condo association really needs to invest in brand new barbecues.

The accommodations were comfortable for 4 adults. The location was excellent - short drive to Kona town to the north, but far enough away from the touristy area to feel like a local. Nice little 10 min. walk to a small beach, though not for swimming. The pool was very nice; hot tub was too warm and very chlorinated. View from the room was amazing! Surfers from dawn to dusk were great entertainment. The sunsets - too beautiful to describe. Dryer has only one temp - HOT! so hung clothes to dry. Housecleaning was mediocre. Host was great!

We were excited for our visit to the Big Island. This condo was such an amazing place to rest, plan daily adventures and enjoy the surfers from the comfort of the very comfortable couch. Everything was easy. Just what we want on a vacation!

We’re a family of 4 with kids ages 8 and 11. The property was large enough for all of us to feel comfortable. The view and lanai are priceless, in addition the pool and location are perfect. It’s on a well used morning running route plus it’s a quick drive from shaved ice, restaurants and snorkeling. We loved our mornings watching the surfers and the sunsets were lovely as well. Hopefully we’ll return someday.

The location of this condo is the highlight. It sits at a corner which gives you a view down the beach. It is located in front of a popular surfing spot so you can watch the surfers as you eat your breakfast. The condo is really nicely equipped including lots of beach supplies. The kitchen is also fully equipped. The condo complex is small and quiet.

What a wonderful condo. The location is fantastic - not only is it right on the water, where you can watch surfers and amazing sunsets, it is a small, quiet complex with the added bonus of on-site covered parking. The condo is excellently equipped and who doesn’t appreciate well labeled switches, drawers and shelving. I would highly recommend staying here.

We loved this Condo! Amazing views. It was so much fun to watch all the surfers from the lanai. Jennifer was so great about responding to my questions and the condo was fully stocked with everything you would need including beach toys, family games. Can’t wait to book this condo again!

The view from this condo is amazing! Our family enjoyed our stay in this lovely condo and would definitely stay here again.
Few things that needs improvements are the main air conditioning unit didn't cool the rooms and we had to rely on the ceiling fans. It would be nice to have some extra toilet paper for refill(2 rolls for a family of 5 isn;t enough). The slider to the balcony doesn't slide well and requires lot of effort to open and close it. The fins on the snorkling supplies are all broken and unuseable. All these things were minor inconveniences and we still had a wonderful stay in this condo.

The property sits next to a major ocean-wave break called Banyans, which attracts the some of the best surfers on the island. They are amazing to watch, as the lanai puts you right next to the ocean. The sunsets are beautiful as well. There is a great snorkling beach about 5 minutes south that we visited several times and a small market across the street, which was handy. The condo is nicely decorated and comfortable. We did find some minor cleanliness issues that could be easily fixed, such as hair in the bathroom sink and providing a clean dish washing sponge, which is typical at other properties that we stayed at on our big island trip. Overall, it’s a great place and we would stay here again.

Condo is not far from shops and food. Parking is convenient and the condo has lots of beach equipment to borrow. The host was easy to communicate with. The condo has a great layout for two couples or one couple and one other adult traveler. The view from the lanai cannot be beat. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Nothing negative to say. Gorgeous, gorgeous views! Perfect location and all the amenities you could ask for. Clean spacious and comfy. Loved watching the surfers and the beautiful sunsets! Felt like we were right on top of the water and loved hearing the ocean waves. Highly recommend this place.
