This condo is very well appointed and had everything we needed. The lanai is absolutely spectacular and aside from sleeping, we spent virtually all of our time in the unit on the lanai. The complex itself is also very nice with a large pool kept at a perfect temperature. We also enjoyed playing tennis and pickle ball.

Loved the location, privacy of the end unit. Absolutely beautiful sunsets, great pool/bbq complex as well. The host Maria was easily reachable and very helpful. A window unit A/C upstairs would be the icing on the cake but a wonderful property never the less. We will be back. Thank you Maria!

Very close to great snorkeling. Condo had towels and everything you need to have fun at the beach. The air conditioning worked great. The grounds are beautiful and the sunset views were outstanding. Very comfortable and clean. Only one minor issue was not having a designated parking spot. Would stay here again.

We had a great stay and couldn't get over the incredible views from the lanai during breakfasts and especially sunsets when we weren't at the beach. The beds were comfortable and the unit was stocked well enough for our needs. If you plan to spend afternoons at the property it will likely be too warm for you without air conditioning. However, it cools down nicely in the evenings and with fans we slept very well. You can hear guests upstairs, but we didn't find that to be a nuisance that took away from our stay. The unit is very clean, but the finishes are getting a bit tired (guessing most are from the original build) so don't expect to be blown away by the unit itself. We were mostly there during the night only, so not really an issue for us, but my expectations going in were that it would be a bit nicer overall. I still wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The facility is very nice. My kids loved the pool and there were tennis/pickleball courts readily available if you have enough bodies to play. I opted to play pickleball at the Houla Paddle Club just down the road which had a variety of open play sessions. We loved having Magic Sands beach just down the road which had great waves and easy parking. Plenty of beautiful white sandy beaches within an hour to the north as well that we really enjoyed with Kua Bay being our favorite.

This condo was wonderful to be in, with space for two moms with two kiddos in tow. The lanai was perfect to relax on and watch the kids play on the grass. Parking is close, kitchen well equipped, great instructions and welcome basket, beach/pool supplies were plentiful. Beds were super comfortable. Wonderful communication. Definitely will return and stay in this peaceful and plentiful condo.

This place could be a real gem. Unfortunately, it needs a little TLC and the lack of Air Conditioning is a killer. The temps were in the mid 80's with little to no breeze. The Master was OK, but the guest bedroom and the loft were very uncomfortable. If you want to sleep in, in those rooms, forget it. With the windows open the traffic noise and the birds will undoubtedly wake you at 6:00 am. So we had to hit the sack by 9:30 to get sleep but it was still way too warm at that time. Yes, the views on the Lanai are great and the square footage is very nice, but there is way more to a week's stay than those two things. I was expecting better for the price we paid.

We loved the location of this condo. Close to the shops but far enough away from the busyness of the bars and restaurants if you want quiet. The condo is well stocked in the kitchen, lots of bath and beach towels, and plenty of bedding and pillows too. The light switches on the first floor take some time to figure out. Also, the condo is very close to the pool and tennis courts. Can’t say enough good things about this place!

This townhouse is located in an immaculately landscaped and maintained complex. The home is very tastefully decorated, well maintained and exceptionally well supplied. The shore is just a few steps from the back door and a sandy beach is just a few steps more. We would highly recommend this rental.

My husband and I stayed here on our first trip to the Big Island and we will definitely be back. The lanai is spectacular overlooking the ocean. Kona town is 4.5 mile drive with snorkeling and beaches less than a mile away. We enjoyed the pool and the ping pong table at the property. It felt like a home away from home! The only negative is the unit has no A/C and it was humid while we were there so trying to get ready to go out got a little steamy at times. But sleeping with the windows open and fans on was quite comfortable. I’ll say it again - we’ll be back!

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: I would highly recommend this Condominium and the company that manages it. Any questions we had we texted to the company and they responded immediately and were so kind and helpful. The condominium was beautiful and you could not beat that view! The place was clean and well organized. I was great having the beach towels and other needed items for the beach there for our use. The air conditioning was also very nice since it was very hot while we were there and there was very little breeze. However, the unit being on the Lani made it very hot with the hot air blowing from the compressor. We had to turn off all the units in the house if we wanted to sit out there for any length of time.We enjoyed our time there and would definitely stay in this community again.

This is a very nicely updated condo with beautiful views of the ocean from the living room and master bedroom! We enjoyed the space, it was very comfortable inside, especially the king size master bed and living room couch. Well stocked with everything you would need in the kitchen, lots of beach accessories, and a nice sized washer and dryer in one of the bathrooms. The A/C is great inside with a ductless mini split system with 4 units total, one in each bedroom and one in the living area. The lanai is very nice, however the furniture is hard and uncomfortable to sit in. It is also very hot while running the A/C inside due to the large condenser unit in the middle of the lanai blowing hot air with no vent system. We enjoyed the lanai in the mornings when is was cooler and we could turn the A/C off inside. We learned from a realtor showing another condo nearby that this whole complex was able to install these units a few years ago and most lanai's have the same hot air problem, not at all the fault of this condo, and we would rather have the A/C inside then not have it for sure!! The swimming pool is outstanding in this complex, large with a real deep end. It was super clean with great outdoor seating and was lightly used every time we were there. Room is expensive! $500 per night after all the fees. it is also a 3rd floor unit with no elevator. The BBQ area is close by, and there was ample parking nearby as well. Overall a great place to 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: Excellent relaxing location, well furnished with dishes, cups and cookware. The condo was clean, comfortable and plenty of basic supplies (tissue, soap, laundry supplies, etc) to last our entire stay. This complex is on the quiet end of Ali'i Drive away from the downtown portion. Quality restaurants within driving distance, Randy's Huli Chicken and Ribs road side food was excellent, seek it out! The condo itself sits just yards away from the ocean, so listening to sounds of the surf crash was a great way to fall asleep and wake up. If you want to unwind and just enjoy the peace and quiet this is the place to stay. Coffee on the lanai in the morning with the cool breeze, or the view of the ocean as the sun sets in the evening.

This was a great place in a great location. It was the most well stocked condo ever...like a home. There was even first aid stuff under the sink. Highly recommend but keep in mind no AC and it was hot in Sepr. There were 5 fans, which helped greatly. I would visit again at cooler time of year.

What a beautiful property! We spent 90% of our time on the lanai watching the ocean, boats, and enjoying the cool ocean breeze. The bed was super comfortable and the decor was primo. Loved having a washer/dryer in the unit. This place is stocked with tons of things including pool noodles, boogie boards, beach umbrella, beach towels and even a cooler. The pool was fantastic and we always felt safe in this gated community. This place is as advertised and I can’t recommend it enough. It did not disappoint.

I would like to start off by saying that the Condo and loaction was overall beautiful. Unfortunately the Property manager acted like a spoiled little Toddler when we called to ask about certain issues. 1st the air condition units (remotes) as well as TV (Remotes) needed new batteries. No problem, we fixed that.. 2nd, out of 4 sliding doors, only one worked (barely). Signs advised not to open them until they get fixed. 3rd, Parking was only available at the Guest spots, which usually had been occupied by the time we came home for dinner. That ment walking in pooring rain. All that is not readon to have a bad time, but when we called the Priperty Manager to ask what is planned, we got told right away, that we bothered him during dinner, repairs on the doors are not planned (we stayed 2 weeks) and if we dont like it, we could leave and find something else. All we asked for is "Sorry for the inconvenience". Again, the unit is great, but I will make sure to not do business again with Knutson & Associates

There were beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, tennis rackets, beach towels, and 2 small coolers which we really appreciated being able to use. pickleball courts were in great shape. We could see the ocean through the greenery from the lanai and it was an easy walk to the beach. It is a rocky beach, not really a swimming beach but it's the ocean! Lots of things to do in easy driving distance - downtown Kona is a 10-15 min drive. There is a great farmer's market 1/2 mile away on Saturdays. Great golf just 5 minutes away. We would stay here again.
