We had a very enjoyable time in this property. Allen and Pat made us feel at home with their fast response and excellent communications when we had questions.The location of the property is about a mile from an active restaurant, bar, shopping area right on the water front. The ones we ate at were Foster's Kitchen and Humphys bar and grill. Both will validate parking tickets for 1 1/2 hour stay in a public parking lot behind the restaurants.The property was very quiet, clean and friendly. The kitchen was well equipped. The Internet was super fast clocking in at over 600 Mbs (megabits per second)!We would definitely stay here again!

Was very easy to feel right at home as soon as you walked in. Place has everything you need. The host had excellent communication with everything. Place is perfectly located in the town of Kona. My husband and I loved it! Quiet community, great views- we gathered every night to watch the sunset. Kona is simply magical and we never wanted to leave. Would absolutely stay here again!!

It was private and very comfortable for the 4 of us. I got to sleep in the master with my great granddaughter in a very comfortable bed. The pool is heated so teaching my ggkid swim lessons was fun and she did so good. We stayed at the same complex but different unit. It was very nice but we felt more at home here

We took full advantage of the beach supplies that were provided for our days at the beach.We have visited all of the islands and hands down this was the best condo we have stayed at when looking at overall cost ,accommodations and location. We Will definitely be back !

The good: Very clean, good supply of essentials, responsive property manager, The complaint: While the listing heading lists air conditioning, there is an extra $25 per day charge to use it. There may be disclosure at some point while getting into the rental agreement, a person may not notice it. The layout of the apartment almost requires A/C. There is minimal flow through ventilation possible as opening the jalousies is not possible. The second bedroom is a dead air room.

Betsy was wonderful to work with. The condo was extremely clean and comfortable. It was stocked with everything we needed. The view did not disappoint and was a perfect place to relax.

Overall fine option and good location, especially during busy Ironman week. Lack of air conditioning was not a major issue with sufficient fans and cross breezes — and very spacious balcony. Agree with other reviews that this unit would benefit from updates, especially in terms of beds, linens and bathroom amenities.

Really enjoyed my stay here. Had everything I needed for the 2 weeks I stayed. Such a lovely apartment. Approx 35-40 minutes to where the IM took place and approximate 45 mins to the big supermarkets. Located right on the run course and you could even see the swim course from the balcony. Would definitely recommend staying here and would happily stay again. You would not be disappointed.

We were in town for 2.5 weeks leading up to the 2024 Ironman world championship. Jason and Emme‘s apartment has a great location, is super convenient, well equipped and very well maintained. We enjoyed it from start to finish. Also, Jason has done a great job as a host, sharing lots of valuable information. We would love to stay in this condo again, if we get a chance to return to this beautiful island one day. Mahalo!

The property was great. Beautiful and comfortable with all amenities needed. We do feel it could have been cleaner. A lot of old dust - counter tops (kitchen and bathrooms) did not feel clean. Fans loaded with dust. Washer had mildew. Cupboards , drawers, and all surfaces could use a thorough cleaning. Aside from that it was spectacular!!!

The Lanai View was the highlight of the home. Ocean breeze and views for days. Jim was a breeze to work with as well. Really appreciated the opportunity to stay here!!

The condo ist very well equipped with everything we needed, from beach chairs und towels to kitchen supplies. Close to town, very quiet with a nice pool and a Sunset Viewing area. Highly recommend. We will come back! Only thing we did not like was the bed linen - all polyester... Cotton would have been much cooler in warm nights.

Clean, safe accommodations! Had everything we needed to go to the beach or go out on day trips from body boards to coolers. Very private with a nice pool and good size lanais to watch and hear the Ocean!

Great stay right on the ocean! Beautiful views and listening to the ocean crash onto the rocks below was amazing. Convenient to most everything. We walked into town once(about 15 minutes) but otherwise drove to snorkeling spots, farmer's markets, restaurants, supermarkets, etc. All pretty close. The pool on property was comfortable and a nice option if you just wanted to cool off quick. It is warm in the area and while there isn't any AC, there are plenty of fans and the ocean breeze blows through the condo. We enjoyed our time here and would stay again.

The property is as described. Maybe could use some updating and more attention to the cleaning - but a very comfortable space and end unit which is great. It’s really all about the view! We spent most of our time on the lanaii enjoying sunsets and watching the cruise ships come and go. We had stayed at this complex before and like the location, grounds and pool. We had an issue at check in but the owner and property manager were very attentive and responsive.

Condo is as represented. Right over the ocean! Lots of beach/snorkeling items to use also. Great location to explore both north and sound of the island.

Condo had everything we needed and the view from the large balcony was gorgeous. Condo was very tastefully updated as well. We spent a lot of time on the balcony and also enjoyed having Honl beach so close by (small beach but we sometimes had it to ourselves!). Wonderful location as well. We would definitely stay again.

My family stayed here for two days during our family vacation to Hawaii. The owners were very responsive and great to work with. The property was exactly as listed and was in a great location. It was nice to watch the sunset from the lanai in the evening and my kids loved the pool. We really enjoyed our stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were rebooked into this unit due to flooding in our original booking. I appreciated the property manager getting us into a new place without any hassle. The unit itself was fine, however I did feel it was a bit tight for 6 adults. The couple that took the pullout sofa found it too uncomfortable to sleep on and ended up using the blowup mattress with outdoor chair cushions on it. Other than that it was clean, quiet, and I felt safe in the location. I would 100% recommend it, just not for a group of 6.

Good location. Great view from the lanai and just down the road from Green Flash Coffee. Impressively clean for being so close to the beach and a well-stocked kitchen. Nice pool at the property too.

Fourth of July in Kona! Another visit to the Big Island and another perfect stay here at this exceptional property! I spent 8 amazing nights here and it was spectacular. The property itself is perfect. It’s on the third floor and right on the beach. Listening to the waves all day and feeling the breeze is magical. I have stayed here before. And I always arrive and it is spotless and welcoming and I feel at home. Even the parking spot is perfect!!! I hope to return AGAIN I would never stay anywhere else!

Great location - although pool outside lanai is not our pool - no A/C was really a bummer. Would only not stay here due to that. Very hot & humid during our stay and not as breey at night as it was with my last visit to Kona.

The host was very thorough, including communication before and during the stay. The unit was equipped with everything you could need for a vacation at the beach. Views are outstanding and location was great! Miss hearing those waves crashing on the rocks while going to sleep or waking up. Great stay and hosts! Thank you for sharing your home.
