We loved our stay here. The condo was spacious with a great well stocked kitchen and two large comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. There was a private lanai with nice views of the ocean and beautiful landscaping. There was a large selection of beach equipment to make beach trips more fun. The location was close to beaches, shopping, and restaurants. The property had a great pool and hot tub with access to the shoreline with amazing sunsets. We did not use the tennis courts but they looked very nice. The parking was close to the condo and in the shade.

The condo was great for our group of 6. The pull out bed wasn’t very comfortable but that’s to be expected. Although the back lanai view wasn’t the greatest we still had views of all the beautiful flowers and plants. Loved that there were beach chairs, snorkel gear and even a couple coolers to take with us to the beach.

Location was very convenient. The condo had nice amenities. There were pool toys for our son. Beats staying at hotel and eating every meal out.

Plenty of room. The condo needs some TLC. Couch and chair were crippling. So uncomfortable. Mattress was not comfortable to me . Mine was too soft and noisy. My friend said her bed was good. Shower faucet needs repair before it comes out. Toilet ran. No view except in one corner. The place did its job even with the few necessary updating/ maintenance

Very good location for all that we wanted to do. This unit was a bit further from the ocean and the pool than we expected but not a far walk. Pool and patio area we wonderful for relaxing at the end of the day and watching whales.

This was the first time to Hawaii for three out of four of our group and the condo was the perfect home base to explore the island. The kitchen had all the basic equipment we needed to cook, which we did for most of our stay. The dishwasher didn’t work and the property manager had it replaced within a day. The ice machine in the fridge was very convenient and well used by our group.
We also made use of the snorkel gear, beach chairs and coolers. The beach gear was in fair used condition with some items showing some wear and tear.
One of our favourite features was the pool/cabana/shoreline common area. Every afternoon we would head down and enjoy the sunshine, staying until sunset. The beach is not swimmable but the lava rocks combined with the crashing waves to produce amazing sunset photos. The rocks are fun to climb on and explore for older children and adults. The landscaping of the property was nicely done.
The lanai (deck) was another one of our favourite features. This unit faces the end of another building which gave us a lot of privacy. The far end of the lanai has an ocean view (better seen from inside the unit.)
The location is great, right on the main drive but not too close to downtown.
Overall, we were very comfortable and had everything we needed. The mattresses were showing some wear as were the shower heads/bathtubs but everything was functional and clean. The shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided smelled great and worked just fine.

We had a great stay on the island of Hawaii. I wish we could have stayed longer, as we were just there for a few days to visit family. The unit was very close to many restaurants and shops. The grounds were very nice, with lots of activities like a pool, ping pong table, and a beautiful sitting area to view the sunsets over the water. The unit was stocked full of everything you would need. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The property was very nice and within a walking distance to everything. For the price it was a gem. The grounds were especially nice with a look out point to watch the whales or just relax by the ocean. You can also grill out if that what you like doing.
It was our first time to Kona. So we did not know what to expect. The closest semi-swimmable beach is about a mile away, rather walkable but this beach is hit and miss.it’s called Magic Sand Beach. On some days it has sand and on other days - rocks. When we came there, it was mostly rocks with a small spot that could be swimmable if it was not for the for the waves that could through you on the rocks. We still had fun though. Another beach is a baby beach by the Marriott hotel at the village, also about a mile away. There were lots of families with kids, and when we discovered it, we had some fun. Otherwise, great beaches are on the North shore, we took Uber to get there.
Property management was nice to communicate with, and was very accommodating. I would definitely stay again here and would recommend. We really enjoy our vacation on the Big Island, and it wa sour first visit here.

The condo was very nice, there were just a few minor glitches. Could have used some bar soap, baggies or saran wrap for making snacks to go to the beach, and I think the floor needed a wiping down, running around barefoot it seemed like it could use a washing. The snorkle gear was ok except a couple of the fins had a crack but worked anyway. Lots of chairs and toys for kids. But that being said, it was comfortable, beautiful grounds nice pool and hot tub.

Loved our stay! The location was walking distance to the downtown area. We preferred Magics beach that was about 10 min drive the opposite way. The amenities were great with waterfront access, tennis court, ping pong table and grills. The pool looked nice but was closed to open in middle of Sept 2022. Plenty of toys for the beach!

This was the perfect place for our family stay. Close to everything we wanted to do. Beds were comfortable, washer and dryer worked great, and we appreciated the items inside to make our stay even easier such as snorkel equipment and beach towels. We would definitely stay here again should we ever return to Kona. Thank you for allowing us to use your lovely home for our week away!

The condo is very roomy and has everything you need. The sofa and recliner are a bit tired and worn so could use updating. It's about a mile from the main area of restaurants and shops.

This condo was perfect for our 10 day vacation. Had an issue with a power outage during our stay but was impressed on how quickly the owner responded to us. It just took my husband to flip a breaker outside and power was back on. Kids enjoyed the extra beach toys.

The place was spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 children, had some toys and pool/beach supplies as noted. Excellent location and nice complex with pool, BBQ, etc. There were some basic items missing, like a blow drier & coffee. All in all for what we paid I think it was a great deal!

Nice place. Washing machine had not been cleaned. We got sand - as much as we could- removed from washing machine.
Management helped with the remote for the TV.
It’s a lovely place to stay.

The property is spacious, airy, and bright. We were pleased with the condo's layout, the extra office space, and the large covered lanai. The condo is in a nice central location, not far from the center of Kona. The condo complex itself has a great common area, with tables, lounge chairs, gas grills, and a ping pong table available, and overlooking the surging ocean and evening sunset.

This place was perfect for my family of 5. 2 bathrooms was a plus! Kitchen has everything we needed. Easy access to the condo and plenty of parking spaces. The unit is close to town and to magic sand beach. The unit is very spacious and clean. We will definitely stay here again.

5 in the family so one on the queen sized couch… as usual those are not too comfortable but I’m not complaining… my teenage son was at the time but they complain about everything at that age!!! King beds in each decent sized bedroom were comfortable… soft but comfortable.
The apartments a little dated but will equipped. It needs a little TLC … broken extractor fan, patio doors that an older person than my incredibly fit self would really struggle to open and close.
The location is fantastic… we enjoyed several meals down by the pool looking out at the ocean and cooking on the supplied bbqs. The sunset is amazing.
Location of the apartment in the complex is poor though. There’s no vote to speak of… just the side wall of the next building. The lanai is big and surrounded by flowers though.
Anyway… loved the place in general. Just trying to be helpful for other users.
August 2021
Great condo at an excellent location. The condo had good facilities and my kids enjoyed the pool, hot tub and ping pong. Easy access to the beach although we did not swim there but had fun checking out the waves and tide pools. Overall it worked out perfect for the 4 of us and would not hesitate to book again for any future trips.

This is a beautiful property. It is slightly old but it is very spacious and well equipped. A perfect place to work from home for those who want to. It is also super central to everything Kona, and has beach access. Highly recommend.
August 2019
Great location. Seamless arrival with lockbox. They had two boogie boards and snorkeling equipment to use. Grills at the pool and sunsets were perfect (need a hamburger flipper in the very well-stocked kitchen). Two BIG beds were good, but sofa sleeper was not comfortable.
