We had a wonderful time staying in Scott & Jenn’s condo. So comfortable for us and our 2 boys (17 & 20) our 6’3” 17 year old was so happy for a bed to fit his length. It’s a great quiet location, kitchen is very well stocked. You do need a car but getting around is super easy. If we come back to Kona would definitely stay again.

December 2024

Pros: Fantastic view and location. The grounds are extremely well kept, and the neighborhood is quiet. Small beaches nearby, as is a supermarket and food. Unit is big, lots of room, everything is as pictured except that it is darker and has aged a bit. Bed was good, ac was good.Cons: Not the cleanest place, has dust buildup (esp on some doors, and please don't look at the top of the refrigerator), appliances and dishes needed cleaning. The rollup blinds on the balcony are decaying and shed tons of particles when moved. Dishwasher smells of mildew. A wonderful location and unit that could use elbow grease to get it up to the quality it should be at.

This is a very large, very nice condo, perfect for two! Appreciate the beach supplies, appreciate the AC and W&D. Keypad front door is helpful too. Really love this complex and the three pool options. Only thing that would have made it more comfortable would be more private blinds in all rooms since it’s a ground floor complex. The blinds are still see through at night. Also it’s close to the parking lot which was noisy at times. Not a game changer tho! Would stay again!

Beautiful location. Amenities all working. Loved having the air conditioner as an option. The condo is a bit dated.
Michael S.
December 2024

Really amazing condo. Fully equipped with everything you need for your Hawaii vacation. The condo has tennis rackets, cooler, boogie boards, chairs and snorkel gear. If the pool is more tour style you can enjoy the ocean side pool. Enjoy the swells and find a lounger. Ocean views from the condo are hard to beat. Quite condo.

Great unit to staycation in for my family of 6. “Solitude” is top notch. Checking in was quick and easy and finding the this unit was easy, too. The view from the lanai was incredible every day and the sunsets each evening were amazing! well-equipped, and well-maintained. Just a wonderful place to spend time with the family!

There were 6 of us at the Condo and it had room galore. Lovely spot, well appointed and comfortable (the extendable couch chairs were a special bonus.. want some at my house. Beautiful views, close to lovely beach about (4 Km) and great snorkling (2.5 km away). Quiet and clean space. Highly recommend it.

We had such a great 10 day vacation at this condo! From the beautifully landscaped and well maintained grounds, to the relaxing pools and even tennis and pickleball courts! Our balcony provided us the best views of the sunset every night. The condo is well equipped with everything you need including beach supplies. I would highly recommend this location and would love to be able to come back and stay here again.

With beautiful bay views and lots of windows to view them, this home was perfect for relaxing and listening to the ocean. Everything we needed for our stay was found within. We look forward to going back again!

We stayed here for two weeks without any issues at all. 3 pools in our complex with one being ocean view. Easy access to the main roads. The main thing is the contact between us, VRBO and the complex always making sure we were happy and that everything was going smoothly. Will definitely stay here again.

It’s definitely one of the nicest place we stayed in Kona oceanfront. We have been to Kona for over ten years and stay only in oceanfront units. I definitely want to thank the owner for being very thoughtful and ensuring that we thoroughly enjoy the unit.

We had a wonderful time at this condo for the first half of our honeymoon. It was well equipped in the kitchen as well as beach equipment for our use. And what a view from the lanai! We hope to stay again on our next trip to Kona!
Karen K.
November 2024

The listing is accurate. The views are gorgeous. The only drawback was a couple of minor plumbing issues and a major paving project in the complex. Once those are fixed/complete, it should be back to a 5 star experience. Owner was very responsive and friendly.

Very comfortable condo, breathtaking ocean front views from every window! You could easily cook a holiday meal with the fully stocked kitchen. The property has 3 pools so everyone will be happy, ocean front, quiet pool and family pool. The sunsets and moonsets were AMAZING, and we didn't have to leave our lanai or living room to catch the show.

This property is amazing! Suzanne is a great host and any questions we had were answered quickly. The pictures dont do it justice, it is beautiful, roomy, clean and right on the ocean. The sounds of the waves crashing is so soothing. The location was perfect for us to explore south or north, and it was great for down days. Will return!ocean.ill

Condo and property were very nice, you can’t beat that lanai overlooking the golf course and ocean. Kitchen was very well stocked and beds were comfortable. The property has several pools and attractive landscape we visited the ocean side pool several times. Covered parking was nice to have also.

The property was perfect for making unforgettable memories with our family. From the breathtaking views to the cozy, well-kept accommodations, everything exceeded our expectations. The VRBO had everything we needed from basic stuff like beach towels, bathroom accessories, to beach toys. We enjoyed every moment! Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience.

The condo is wonderful. The bed is very comfortable, the lanai has a beautiful view, and the bathrooms are great. It's nice having a washer and dryer along with a dishwasher and other little extras. The kitchen is nice, the covered parking is convenient, and the location was perfect for us. Given the opportunity, I would be very happy to stay here again.
Todd B.

Our experience renting this condo was fantastic. The communication right from booking to leaving was some of the best we have experienced and we have rented dozens and dozens of houses or condos over the years. The condo itself was exactly as advertised and the pictures on the website were a perfect depiction of what you will get. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook 2 meals per day. The 2 main rooms were very spacious and comfortable. The 3rd bedroom is small and the door needs to be left open to get AC in there. The view from the balcony is exactly what you think of when you think Hawaii, the sunsets are truly magical. For our purposes the condo was in a perfect location for the itinerary we had planned. We visited in October and the property was relatively empty so the pool was a lot of fun to visit. I would not hesitate to rent this unit again in the future or to recommend it.
Brian Z.
October 2024

We loved our time here. It was equipped with everything we needed from kitchen supplies to beach gear. I loved sitting on the lanai and watching the ocean, the property was quiet and convenient for everything we wanted to do on the Kona side, the condo clean and comfortable, and lovely to boot. We can’t wait to stay here again!
Sarah B.
October 2024

Unit was very clean and lovely. My kids didn't want to leave, they were so comfortable there. I especially loved the back deck, listening to the ocean and birds singing all while sipping my coffee. Even though there were other units surrounding us, the back deck made me feel magically alone in paradise.
Jean S.
October 2024

Denise really went the extra mile to make sure this beautiful property was stocked with everything we could have needed and more. The property is large, spacious and had the feel of a house with a gorgeous view of the ocean. We enjoyed bringing our food out to the balcony so we could enjoy the view and hear the birds. The Ocean pool was so nice too.
Amy F.
October 2024

I have stayed in many VRBO’s but this place is above and beyond stocked with everything you need. Plenty of pots and pans plates cups utensils and cooking utensils. Probably better stocked than my own kitchen. The view from the front lanai is exactly as pictured. Pool is super close. Highly recommend this place.
Wendy G.

Wonderful property oceanfront! Beautiful sunsets every night! Convenient to shopping, convenient to Kailua Kona! Two king suites make it great for adults. Would stay here again!

Thomas W.
October 2024

We enjoyed the unit and the people we met at this complex. The complex had construction going on and so it was very loud to sit out by the pool and relax. They also had several units being worked on above our unit which was unfortunate.
