I would highly recommend staying at the Kahaluu Beach Villas. The condo was very clean. The property management company reached out to us as we checked in to be sure we had everything we needed. They took great pride in insuring that the property was well-kept. We loved the convenience of the Villa. Just across the street was Kahaluu Beach. We enjoyed snorkeling and watching sunsets. The Villa was also within walking distance, 19 minutes, to the Keauhou Shopping Center. My husband and I would walk up for coffee each morning and enjoyed the view of the ocean. Peaberry and Galette was our favorite coffee stop. They made great coffees and amazing crepes. There is also an amazing restaurant and bar just above the shopping plaza, Sunset Kai Lanai. If you want great food and drinks with an amazing sunset, this is the place!
As for the Villa, the pool and the hot tub were clean and not crowded. The washer and dryer were well needed, and welcoming after spending 6 days in Oahu. Everything worked well, and the kitchen was well supplied for cooking. Our travel party consisted of four adults and two teenagers. There was plenty of room and beds for everyone. We will gladly stay here again!

We are very particular travelers. I researched many places to stay on the Big Island. The condo was cute, Hawaiian charm. It was spotlessly clean. We had a perfect view of sunset from the porch. It is right off of a busy street, which was noisy with cars. The beach across the street was a good snorkeling and surfing beach. Close drive to all things in Kona. The condo had plenty of room for our family of 6. My only suggestion would be upgraded beach chairs and a small cooler for guests to use.

This is a perfect property. The unit is large and very well-appointed. It is across the street from the beach so you can enjoy sunsets from you lanai every night. You can walk across the street and go snorkeling and swimming. It is in a local neighborhood so it is not a resort feeling. It is close to restaurants and grocery shopping at Keauhou Shopping Center. We would return every time. It was Great!!

The place was clean and well-furnished. The view from the deck and kitchen was outstanding. The place is airy such that AC is seldom needed if windows are kept open. VACASA staff was readily available when needed.

Great property - great location. Not easy to
Walk to restaurants but short drive to get to many.

This condo was better stocked than most condos I have rented. Had everything we needed! Loved the access to beach (right across the street with snorkeling and surfing), grocery store less than 5 minutes away, patio and view were fantastic. Beds comfy and plenty of space. The pool and hot tub were nice too! Would stay again anytime!

Upon arrival, we had a very hard time getting in the door. We also had a hard time locking it on departure. A call to Vacasa, and they sent someone out quickly to fix it. No problem after that. Unit is well stocked, both in the kitchen and bed, and bathrooms. Pool and hot tub were very refreshing, though we didn't like the fact that you needed a key to get out of the pool area.
Location was excellent. Easy to get around. Beach was more for surfing and snorkeling than walking or sun bathing. Loved the patio, great view.
Would definitely stay there again.

Bottom line, loved our stay. It is 2nd floor unit and did not find elevator. Property is well maintained, comfortable and in a great location. It had all the cooking utensils, pans, etc one might want. The fridge/freezer worked well and made lots of ice. Access to cable TV, although we didn't use it. Beds were pretty good. Lots of towels/beach towels. There was a lovely view on lanai with nice sea breezes. We were right across the street from great snorkel beach and nearby surf beach with showers, bathrooms & life guards. Beach has rocky entrance but little tide pool at shore has rock steps into very sheltered area (good for dip to cool off and little kids). Driving distance to grocery/drug stores, retail shops, restaurants and centralized location for sightseeing all over island. Only reasons we didn't give all 5 stars are below. At check-in the digital lock to front door did not work. We called management they tried to assist without success, so provided us with immediate access to a key. Key worked but difficult to remove from lock without multiple tries. Some dishes in cupboard had food on them. We realized it likely was dishwasher problem because sometimes dishes we washed were not clean after running unless we rinsed thoroughly prior to loading. The 2nd bedroom (with queen/king bed) had really tiny, non-biting bugs (gnats) that didn't prevent comfortable use of room. Monthly insect control sched for day we left. Absolutely would stay there again. Thank you.

Ideal location across the street from Kahalu'u Beach Park, which lives up to its reputation of being an awesome place to snorkel. The views from the balcony and pool are phenomenal! It was so decadent to watch the ocean waves, swaying palm trees, vibrant flowers, and little colorful birds from both areas. Our lodging came with everything we needed (even snorkeling gear and beach towels) for our home away from home. We commented everyday how lucky we were to have found this place!

Great place to stay. We loved the location across from the beach park and also a mile from Magic sands beach.
We did have 6 people and loved having the washer and dryer.

This was perfect for our family of 5! Close to the beach, great pool, and had everything that we needed! Perfect size for all of us to enjoy! Close to Kona - perfect for everything that we wanted to do on our vacation! Thank you for a great time!

This location was great. Nice pool. Right in front of beach. Clean unit. Nice balcony.
Beach chairs were terrible, should be replaced with more suitable chairs for what the unit costs. The management was responsive to the clogged drain and missing beach towel. Beach towels were not great quality.
Toilet paper quality was poor, like worse that at my kid’s school. For the fee charged I would RECOMMEND request an upgrade on the TP :)

We totally enjoyed our stay in this lovely condo. It had the perfect location and view. We were able to take the trolley to town as we didn’t have a car. Spent several days lounging on the Baja reef! We highly recommend this charming condo. The air conditioning was a definite plus!

I had my husband, 2 kids, and my mom with us. Condo was exactly as described. You can watch a beautiful sunset from the lanai and walk down to Kahaluu beach for snorkeling in the morning. The walk is VERY short. Some road noise but it wasn’t bad and the neighborhood was overall quiet.
This unit is on the second floor but you have to go down one flight of stairs from the parking lot then up 2 flights of stairs to the condo. I didn’t see an elevator so keep this in mind when considering. It wasn’t an issue for us. We got a little workout carrying our suitcases. Also there is no screen door on the slider going out to the lanai so we couldn’t keep the door open at night. There are definitely bugs and you don’t want them coming in. We found two baby geckos inside the condo which our kids were excited about but some people might not be as excited. We also had a lot of gnats and one roach but we found bugs everywhere we went. This was not unique to this property. There were also wasps outside.
The central AC was perfect and cooled the entire condo quickly. It’s definitely a must have in Hawaii. It’s almost 90 degrees in the summer so you will use it. The unit had boogie boards, beach chairs, pool noodles, and snorkel stuff.
It would have been nice to have a local contact person. The only phone number I received was the Vacasa company number which was not convenient to call because you have to go through the menu options to get to a person. We would stay here again!

The property is really nice and the location is unbeatable. However, there is a serious mosquito problem. We collected literally a bucket full of mosquitos every morning (and I have the pictures to prove it). Fortunately they were not the kind that bites, but they were annoying nonetheless. Maybe it is a seasonal thing (we were there in early June). I still give it 5 stars, but management needs to look into this.

The location was amazing being so close to a great snorkelling beach. It was some of the best off shore snorkelling I have done. Lots of fish, coral and turtles. The beach is rocky, so bring water shoes. The condo is spacious, clean and well stocked. The view from lanai was exceptional. We could see humpback whales, spinner dolphins and enjoyed watching the surfers. Close to amenities and good base location for site seeing. Management was very responsive.

The condo was extremely clean and well equipped with kitchen accessories for cooking and beach stuff. We loved the view and every morning and evening we set out on the covered balcony enjoying coffee and cocktails. We would for sure stay here again.

This condo is right across the road from and easy, fabulous snorkel bay. Just go down the stairs and there you are!
There is a great view of the bay and lots of palm lined sunsets photos from the patio. The master bedroom is spacious and comfortable. The other 2 rooms are nice enough. This is great for family to share but could be awkward for couples.
I’m a snorkeling fanatic so to me this the ideal Kona location.

We had a sudden change in plans and booked this place at the last minute. We are lucky we did! It is in a great spot if you want to walk to the ocean for snorkeling, swimming or surfing and close to supermarkets and restaurants. It is clean, quiet and comfortable. Also, incredible sunsets every night. We would happily stay here again

This apartment was right by the beach, close to town, had plentiful parking and an amazing view from the lanai
