This was our 5th time staying in this building, and we love the location. This unit, like the others we’ve been in, has a lanai on 2 different levels, always have sun or shade. Everything we needed was there, towels, water gear, and full spice cabinet!

Fantastic ocean view and right next to numerous restaurants and shops. 1/2 mile walk to the Pier. All the amenities you could think of. Having a Washer and Dryer was super convenient. We will definitely come back. Out of the owners control, there was some very loud construction going on in the condo above or next to us.

This condo is in a great location for driving or walking to nearby restaurants and shops. The set up is very comfortable and we enjoyed the lanai overlooking the pool and a glimpse of the ocean. Great hosts!

10 days here. This place is perfect. Hosts went above and beyond to accommodate us, with rapid fire responses.
Seriously. The best unit on all of Ali’i drive.

Great location and a priceless view. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

This place is excellent for a small group (1-3 people). It is very centrally located, a short walk to all the downtown Kona shops and restaurants. Being so close to Alii'i Drive and everything else means it's not for the lightest of sleepers, it did not bother me. Like I said, it's great that it's a short walk to everything. It is nice to have a reserved parking spot, parking in Kona is a challenge at the best of times. The unit is well stocked, although I did not take much advantage of that. Nor did I ever manage to use the pool, but it looked nice. Check-in/check-out went smoothly. I would definitely stay there again.

This is a 4th floor corner unit with covered parking and no AC. The sea breeze and fans do an adequate job of
coolong. The unit fronts on Ali'i Dr, the main Kona thoroughfare. It is noisy and loud. It is steps to Temple Bar, Huggos and other Kona .establishment. There is homeless encampment in the park across the street.

FIrst let me say the condo is exactly as presented in photos. We never slept in the bedroom. Why, because the murphy bed was not only comfortable but practically on the ocean. The sounds were lovely and views amazing.
Be sure to double check for all your paperwork telling you how to get in, etc. We didn't and it took an hour for us to bring up the info...yes, we are NOT the most tech savvy couple! Owner got back to us very quickly...bottom line is we would definitely come back to condo! The lanai was where we "lived" when in the condo!
+++did not deal with a property manager so only gave one star, had to put in something to post review+++

This property is everything that it is advertised and more. The apartment is very clean, well furnished and stocked with beach gear, coolers, and even seasonings for cooking.
The Murphy bed is extremely comfortable!
The location is perfect as well. Ocean view from the lanai, easy walk to so many restaurants and shops.

We really enjoyed stay
ing here. Really good location. Put us in the middle of the action on Ali'i Drive. Many things in easy walking distance. Balcony with nice view of the pool and partial view of Ali'i drive. You could hear the ocean waves.
Liked the parking arrangements, two bathrooms, washer/ dryer, nice big living room and dining room. Kitchen was small, a little strange floor plan given the available square footage of the unit. But for us it worked just fine. We appreciated the complimentary coffee, laundry detergent, etc. All in all, we would stay here again. Could improve the check in instructions, like how to unload your luggage upon arrival, and giving us a hint as to how to find the lockbox. That was a game of "Wheres Waldo".

I have stayed in this building twice now and it is always so comfortable and convenient to everything in town. You don't have to drive anywhere as it is all in walking distance. I personally love to just sit on the balcony and watch the boats and dolphins in the water every morning and evening as well as people watching on the street below (at times that can be even more amusing!). This was my 10th time to Kona and I have yet to turn the TV on - why would you? Also, try the massage therapist on the bottom floor. She was excellent! Highly recommend!

Very comfortable and convenient location close to restaurants and shops. Super clean and well-stocked with amenities. Rental includes on-site parking. Host was quickly responsive to questions. Street noise a few times during the day, but not a constant bother. Gorgeous sunsets from the lanai! Thank you, Ron!

What an ideal spot for enjoying the gorgeous sunsets and all the activities that Kailua-Kona has to offer! The location is beautiful and so convenient. The walkability is fantastic! This was also a convenient home base for us to explore, snorkel, and hike around the Big Island: Hiking in Volcano, snorkeling at Kahalu'u, hiking to Papakolea Green Sand Beach, visiting the Hilo Farmer's Market, driving to Waimea... Even for longer drives, it was lovely to come back to what truly felt like a home base. Mahalo for sharing this well-appointed, well-stocked, comfortable, beautiful space. We definitely recommend this location!

We enjoyed our stay here. The view is gorgeous. Couldn’t ask for a better view. Nice to wake up to. It was a little loud at night but you can’t beat the sound of waves as you wake up. We saw dolphins one morning and that made our day. The place was clean and spacious enough for our family. We loved it and will be back.

We liked the location as it was close to restaurants.
The unit was well equipped and had everything we needed including beach stuff.
We did not like the lack of AC. Had to keep the windows open to keep cool but this meant quite a bit of noise at night.

We spent over a week in this property and enjoyed our stay. Some portions of the condo are dated, but overall it was clean, well-kept, and well-stocked. The property was very secure and most key locations to visit on Ali'i Drive were within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again!!

I was thrilled with the location and assigned parking, making it a great location to stroll the waterfront or head out in a car to explore farther locations on the island. We were disappointed with the cleanliness (mainly the floor), lack of renovation in the second bath. We removed shoes when we checked in (as we usually do in homes in Hawaii), and later found the bottom of our feet were black. Didn't go barefoot after that! While the listing mentioned the upgraded kitchen (true), the second bath was a big disappointment! A very sloppy job was done to remove the bathtub to create a very small shower and room for the stacked washed dryer. The tub faucet was left on the wall of the "new" shower to bang your shins against! Also the door was looking pretty ragged with a lot of corrosion - just looked out of place with the kitchen updating. The location was everything we hoped it would be, just a little disappointed with the cleanliness and lack of updating throughout the unit to match the kitchen.

It’s all about the location and view. Walkable to everything downtown Kailua-Kona has to offer (and I am disabled). The view was amazing and the condo clean, comfortable and well appointed. The only reason for the four star rating and not five is the lack of air and I’m not just talking about A/C. We can live without A/C but you need some trade winds. There was hardly a breeze blowing through which made it very stuffy and hot even with the windows open and all the fans blowing.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It is centrally located in Kona and it is close to everything. Perfect ocean view, beautiful sunset, people watching and sound of waves at night were the highlights of our stay. The owner was very kind and prompt in communicating everything. This condo has all amenities that anyone needs during a beach vacation including snorkeling gears, body boards, beach umbrellas, beach chairs and many more. We saw beautiful sunsets, canoe competitions and spinner dolphins from the lanai. We want to stay here again.
