We absolutely loved this unit! The king size beds are SUPER comfortable in both bedrooms! The location is perfect! The living room furniture is dated but very cozy - the tv was perfect for all of our streaming needs. There are 3 split AC units and ceiling fans in every room! We were never hot. They provided some beach/water items like chairs, a cooler and an umbrella, which were nice perks! They have a few beach towels but they are thread bare and not absorbent at all. The kitchen is stocked pretty well - It would be nice if they would add BBQ tools, a muffin pan, and some sharp knives, but I’m kind of picky about kitchens since we cook so much. The washer and dryer are small and it takes a long time for clothes to dry but was thankful to have it.
We would definitely stay in this unit again and again simply for the comfy beds and perfect AC.
The complex was built in the 70’s - we were amazed at how well maintained this entire property is. The covered parking is well lit, the pool was refreshing , the hot tub was big and perfect for watching the sunset, the 2 grills worked perfectly, and the community lanai was a great place to play games. The complex is quiet too.

This condo is my dream condo!! What else can you ask for? It's very close to the water and the place has everything you can ask for! King bed is super comfy. We did nit want to leave. It is very spacious. It even has beach chairs and umbrella and cooler for your outings. I will want to stay here again. In fact I have recommended it to my friends . In the mornings I watch the surfers in front . You can grill your food downstairs and they have a heated pool. This unit is 10/10. Seriously . This is the condo to stay in Kona

We have a great 9 day stay! Very relaxing view, we seen dolphins and enjoyed watching the surfers all day! Wonderful kitchen amenities to cook all our meals. We enjoyed our time away together.
We had friends in another condo and we had fun playing cards at night.

The location was wonderful and we enjoyed being right on the ocean. The unit was well equipped with all kitchen needs and the management was very quick to replace a beach chair that was missing. Comfy beds and furniture too. We hope to stay here again!

The kitchen was well equipped which was so appreciated. The view of the ocean was fantastic.
Tracy Leverone was very responsive to our requests on how to operate the washer/ dryer and she fixed the connections on the TV, etc., and later brought us a broom. Thank you Tracy, for your prompt replies and resolutions.
We do feel it's important to convey to the owners that the bed in the master bedroom is collapsed on one side and the headboard rattles. The sofa cushions are also collapsed. The toilet in the master bath needs some help as the tank doesn't easily refill or flush properly.
We were a little disappointed that the hot tub chemicals were out of whack for almost our entire visit and advised by the maintenance people not to use it. The pool solar system was not working so the pool was too cool to swim in. The living room windows were not washed on the outside.
The upstairs landing area outside the elevator was clean and well-kept.

Couldn't be happier with our stay and plan on returning. Right on the water with beautiful views. AC was a plus as the heat was intense. Comfy bed and well appointed kitchen. The 80” plus TV was nice too. Will def. be back.

The stay was 2 weeks long and not enough time!!
The condo is easy to find, sits on an amazing bay filled with surfers and occasionally a few porpoises!
The unit is spacious and filled with light. Exactly as pictured.
The beds were very comfortable and the split air conditioning allowed for each person to customize their comfort zones.
Kitchen was well stocked.
The lanai was a bit narrow but was the perfect good morning and early evening place to hang out!
Tracey was quick and friendly to respond to any questions we had .
This was my first trip to Kona but I’d gladly rent this unit again.

I loved the view of the ocean, it's a hot spot for surfing which is fun to watch. We seen dolphins basically daily as we sat on the lanai enjoying our morning coffee. Location is great, everything is within minutes. Has all your needs for cooking which we did almost daily and bar b que was convenient as well. Any questions we had were promptly answered as well. We would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed for 10 nights in March 2023. Unfortunately our flight was delayed and we lost a night at the beginning. Cancelation policies meant not getting reimbursed for the night. Nevertheless, my review is not because they wouldn't reimburse!
Cons: We arrived at 930 pm and we were given the wrong code for the elevator, which is the only way to get up. We texted both managers and eventually one of them did text back with the correct code. But kinda frustrating sitting in the parking lot waiting for a response.
There is no AC, which we knew. Don't be fooled, you need it. It is muggy and stuffy if you keep the windows and drapes closed to keep it cool from the afternoon sun. The back screen door was broken so we couldn't use it and get air flowing through.
The place is very dated and small things could be done to improve it. Perhaps some new bedding and towels that aren't thin and stained would be a good start. There was a review about the knives in 2022 and how dull they were. Obviously no one read them, since the knives were very very dull so cleaning fruit like a pineapple was almost impossible.
Needs a good cleaning throughout. Two of the 4 chairs on the deck were almost broken but there was only 2 of us so we made it work. Drawer in the kitchen is broken. These are simply things that could be done and make the difference.
Pros: The view for the sunsets was amazing. Watching many surfers in front every morning was neat.

We loved watching the surfers and whales from our lanai every morning. The condo was well stocked, beds were comfortable and was in a great location.

This property was so wonderful to stay at. Convenient to town. The best part was listening to the waves and watching all the surfers! We could sit on the deck all day!

The location of this condo happens to be directly on one of the best surfing spots on the Big Island, check any surf map. It was fun to watch them out there on high tides and try a bit of boogie boarding myself.
The condo complex was clean and nice and was what we expected when we booked it. The only complaint we had was that the internet modem died so we had no access to wifi or the TV for the first night, second day, and half of the 3rd day. I communicated this when we first got to the unit and the second day and felt the response was very slow for such a simple problem. I've had modems go out in the past that are from the internet company (Spectrum) and it's a very simple procedure to get a new one. That said, they did communicate well and responded politely and appropriately.
The master bed was very comfortable and the waves right outside the bedroom was the best sound machine ever for good sleep.
Overall, it was a great stay, just a little disconnected for the first couple days with the TV/wifi issue.

Very loud at night because need to keep sliders open due to no A/C. Best view of surfers and sunsets on island.

The unit was well supplied, centrally located to the many activities we selected, and had an amazing view of the ocean. We’ll recommend this to all of our friends!

This place was an absolute dream place to stay! The views are exquisite with subsets and watching surfers morning and evening. It had everything we needed with a full kitchen and washer/ dryer. The mattress in the master was a dream to sleep in. Highly recommend and already looking to book another trip there!

The view is spectacular! This is the reason we selected this condo. It is not as outfitted as we would have liked but we enjoyed ourselves. Walmart and Costco are a short drive away. I don't understand the reviews that state the master bedroom has no separation. There is a large pocket door that provides privacy from the living room to the master. We tried taking a beach chair to the beach that was on the lanai and found out when we got to the beach it was terribly broken. I am not sure why someone put a broken chair back. The pool and hot tub overlooking the ocean is so fantastic! We would stay here again!

Cockroaches in the drawers and cupboards and running across the floor day and night. Oscillating fan was greasy and full of dust and dirt. I replaced 7 light bulbs that were burned out. Bed in the 2nd bedroom lumpy and needs to be replaced. TV in 2nd bedroom did not work!
The sheet on the king bed smelled like pee. Towels were dirty.
It's a good thing we brought our own towels and sheets.
We had to wash everything before we could stay here.
The ceiling in the kitchen had been repaired and was not sealed and painted right. The shower in the master bath leaked so bad that we put the dirty towels on the floor to prevent a flood. Main bath the shower leaked and NO water pressure. Furniture smelled like body odor. The dryer lint trap was plugged. The light fixtures were filled with bugs so bad we needed to clean them. The walls were dirty and scuffed with marks and the entire Condo needed repainting. Drapes did NOT fit the window and had the wrong type of hangers to hold them up and we had to constantly fix them. The view was excellent out the door walls. Management did refund 4 days stay for our problems and I did get my deposit back. If they ever fixed this place up and put some money in to it our stay would have been very nice. I would pass this one by!
