Nice apartment. Can look at beach from bedroom or lanai and see water conditions for snorkeling. Also, surfboard training.. Walk across street to get to beach. Fantastic place for starting snorkeling but also interesting for experienced snorkelers. A few turtles were in cove. Beach gear and a Pack and Play in closet, if you have little one.Quiet area at night, need to drive a short distance for shopping or restaurants

This was a great property. The condo was spacious and had everything we needed including beach chairs, snorkel equipment, and an ice chest. The condo is on the third floor, and there is an elevator. It was right across the street from a fantastic snorkeling beach and had a beautiful beach and ocean view. It was close to town, but not too close so it was quiet and peaceful. Great place to stay and I would definitely stay there again. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this property.

The condo was exactly as in the pictures. What a great way to eat breakfast staring at the ocean enjoying the lanai. The pool was great. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay. Kona resort communication was great. They reached out couple days into the stay to see if we needed anything. Very appreciated.

This place is magical. My 3 sons, husband and I had the best time here. It was exactly as the listing says. We loved watching the sunset and then star gazing from the lanai. Walking down to the beach for the most amazing snorkeling in the morning. It was clean and had everything we needed. Felt like our own private oasis. We would come back here in a heartbeat.

We loved the property. Should we visit Kona again I would definitely seek out this property again. Lawerence was great at communicating and answering all questions and providing local information for shopping and dining. I highly recommend this location.

This condo is the best choice for accommodations on Hawaii for a family. The condo is very clean and well maintained. The location and neighborhood are superb. Just walk across the street and snorkel in one of the best spots on the island. The owner Chad was very pleasant to work with and he regularly communicated with me leading up to our trip. He even recommended scuba diving options for us. We are a family with two grown boys and the condo was very spacious for everyone. We were able to cook our own meals in the well equipped kitchen and a very nice grocery store was nearby. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay in paradise.

Great location for snorklers across the street from some of the best snorkeling we found in Hawai'i. Place was nice - and great for those on the go - a small living room and made watching soccer tight for four adults but we enjoyed the outside seating - the pool and the quiet small condo community. Check in confusion was easily remedied by host via text - small but perfect for our needs.

Everything we could ask for. Perfect location across from Kahalu'u Beach Park. Snorkeled there numerous times during our stay. Just right distance from Kailua-Kona area. Near enough to shop, sightsee, etc., yet far enough away from constant busyness of the area. Close to many other snorkeling and sight-seeing areas as well.
Condo in excellent condition and great amenities. We sat and ate on the lanai every day. Made frequent use of beach towels, chairs, and umbrella. Master bedroom comfortable and bathrooms excellent. Washer and dryer useful as well.
Only small suggestions would be to add a cutting board and a pizza cutter. Outside of those, we found everything we needed.

We had an amazing stay! The snorkeling right outside your door was incredible and so convenient. The condo have everything we needed and was very clean. The beds were super comfortable! We loved having our meals out on the lanai and watching the ocean waves and sunsets. Couldn't have asked for a better stay!

From the first time we corresponded, Gail was enthusiastic and quick to respond to questions. Overall, communication was excellent. The condo is located in a great spot, right across the street from some of the most readily accessible snorkeling on the island and just down the road from the town center with lots to see and enjoy. We did easy day trips from the condo to the North and South tips of the island. The condo itself was very clean, had everything we needed, and even a King size bed for the adults. We did not pay extra for air conditioning so it did get warm at times, but with the fans, we had no trouble sleeping. We also enjoyed the pool that’s within the condo complex. Overall, this is a great place for a family and was perfect for our first stay on the Big Island.

Our stay in the penthouse was amazing, great location to a lot of different sights and activities but still nice and quiet. Snorkeling in the bay across the street was fantastic and easy for the novice. So many fish and turtles! We would definitely stay there again. The only issue for our entire stay was the dishwasher was left with dishes that didn’t get washed properly in it and smelled a little. Easily correctable. Loved it and made a great home base for our vacation

This unit is a slice of paradise on a slice of paradise. :) It was our first Vrbo experience, and it was one for the books! The property is sparkling clean, has ALL the amenities, is spacious, and is truly special. Staying at Rachel and Jason’s place was an asset to our trip. We appreciate the generosity.

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!

I brought my family to Kona as it had been greater than 20 years since my last visit. What a spectacular location--the lanai has the perfect view of the gorgeous turquoise waters of Kahaluu Beach park and the stellar sunsets. Almost all of our time (when not sleeping or away from the condo) was spent on the lanai. The property also has good views of the green hillside. Kahaluu was the perfect place for my kids to learn to snorkel, and was our second favorite snorkeling spot on the island after Two Step. The AC in the unit was also was appreciated, especially after staying in a house w/o AC at Hilo the week before. The pool was awesome--the infiinity/horizon pool view was great looking over Kahaluu--a perfect place to chill with a margarita. The kids had a blast in the pool as well, and we all enjoyed the hot tub during a rain shower...which by the way was nice and hot. I also enjoyed the grill and cooked out by the pool one evening. Of course the unit is close to all of the restaurants on the main Kona strip, and also a few miles a way from grocery stores/Walmart etc for stocking up. Parking was no problem and never had to fight for spaces and the elevator helped with our many suitcases. The only negative I'd note is that the master bedroom pillows are due for an upgrade and one night we had some cigarette smoke blow by the lanai from a neighbor's unit. Lastly, I want to thank the owner for being ultra-responsive and attentive to our occasional special requests!!

This property is located directly across one of the most popular snorkeling beaches on the island. There are a lot of rocks, so make sure you bring appropriate footwear. Down the street is another beach that I liked better because it had more sand and that’s magic sand. The condo was equipped with tons of sand toys for our two-year-old, beach towels, cooler and beach bags. This condo had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. They have plastic dishes for kids wine glasses for the adults. Everything was clean and fresh and the communication with the property manager was on point. Highly recommend. I would definitely come back to this location.

Everything was wonderful, from the condo with pool and hot tub, to the best snorkeling right across the street! We took the cot. Cook snorkeling adventure; while we had a lot of fun, we thought the snorkeling off our beach (as we came to call it) was much better! So much to do on the Big Island; Gail had a wonderful ‘fun things to do list’. We thought the condo was very comfortable, great beds, lovely well equipped kitchen and the lanai was beautiful, we lived watching the sun set from there! Thank you, Gail!

My family (two adults, two kids ages 8 and 10) stayed here the second week of June. When we entered the condo both my kids and husband just about lost their minds over how nice and luxurious it was. The condo is very nicely laid out, with the kids' room (two twin beds) across the living room from the primary bedroom. The beds and pillows were so comfortable (better than I sleep in hotels!) and well stocked with beach and pool toys. The ceiling fans were very much appreciated to keep the air moving and the balcony is pleasantly shaded most of the day.
The location of the condo is amazing - across the street from Kahalu'u Beach Park with excellent snorkeling and a coral reef. The complex includes a pool (with clear view of the beach) and hot tub. Finding parking in the complex lot was very easy.
Gail, the owner, sent an email with lots of info and recommendations for the area. This was a fantastic rental choice for our family.

This condo was wonderful! The owner provided great communication prior to our arrival and truly wants you to enjoy your vacation!
The condo was very clean, and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. There are plenty of disposable items (trash bags, dish soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper) provided.
The location is perfect for exploring all of the amazing beaches along the coast. It was so convenient to be able to use the beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrella, and cooler!

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.

We enjoyed our week at this condo. We were traveling with our adult children and the location worked out well for us. The snorkeling at Kahalu’u across the street was fabulous. Everyone also enjoyed boogie boarding at Magic Sand Beach which is walkable from the condo. Gail had wonderful suggestions and we took many of them. The condo had a wonderful view and the pool view was the best! We would definitely stay here again!

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!!

During my four-night, five-day stay, the air conditioning was out for the entire duration. Indoor temperatures soared to 83 degrees Fahrenheit for two nights, exacerbated by high humidity (two rainy nights). As a result, sleep was elusive, with no more than 3-4 hours attained each night. Naturally, this impacted my daytime comfort and energy levels.
Despite these conditions, the terms of the contract stated no refund would be granted for utility failures. However, I received a mere 6.7% refund for the ruined trip.
Adding to the inconvenience, construction work on the pool commenced during the latter part of my stay.
While the property boasts a good location and excellent views, it is managed by a professional management company. Given this, one would expect thorough preparation and service. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations, with no option for cancellation, an early requirement for full payment, and limited recourse for the discomfort endured.
I was very disappointed and and definitely not coming back.

100% as advertised. Clean, well maintained unit right across the street from terrific snorkling beach. Traffic is loud on Friday and Saturday nights and beach gardner starts the leaf blower at 7am every day however worth the tradeoff for location and quality of condo.

My wife, 9 year old daughter, and I thought this condo was amazing! It had everything you could want for the beach, was just close enough to town, had a fully stocked kitchen, and had a great view from the lanai. Best of all though was the excellent snorkeling right across the street! Chad (one of the owners) even contacted us a few weeks before our trip with recommendations on activities and day trips to do on the island. We would definitely stay here again if our travels bring us back to Kona!

This is a great place. Thank you.

This place is perfect if you want to snorkel. The closest place to the best snorkel spot on the island. The condo was super comfortable and clean, great for two people. Hosts super responsive, even purchased a yoga mat for me when I asked if the unit had one. Mattress is quite hard, lots of steps (no elevator) and, as others have mentioned, a lot of road noise and leaf blowers every morning. Overall, wonderful stay.

This condo and property management company exceeded our expectations. The home was well appointed, and we had no trouble cooking in an unfamiliar kitchen. Eating meals on the balcony patio was a highlight of our trip. As it is on the third floor, there are many steps, but our 80 year old mother went up and down them just fine. The street noise was a bit loud at night and walking to the shopping center was a little too far, but the ocean view was priceless. We enjoyed being just steps from Kahalu'u Beach which has lifeguards during the day. This was a plus as we are unexperienced snorkelers, and the water can be dangerous and difficult to swim in. The management company (Kona Coast Vacations) was extremely helpful and responsive. The saltwater pool and spa (chlorine) was nice as well. We did not want to leave, and hope to come back someday!
