Fantastic water front condo.Fully stocked with everything needed at a great location in Kona. Originally we were looking for a resort, but found this much better at a lower cost. We were able to explore much of the island in a seven night stay.This location is close to Fair Wind tours, highly recommend swimming with the mantas and morning snorkel .The condo is also close to many great restaurant's. The owner Colleen was very kind to recommended Huggo’s which did not disappoint. We loved sitting out on the lanai ,sunsets were amazing.You can hear the waves crashing and a nice breeze runs through keeping the condo very comfortable. Whitney Renolds and owner Colleen keep the property clean and well maintained. My wife and I had a great stay at this property on our vacation to the big island.

We enjoyed our stay at Sea Village! Holly was a wonderful host and was available with any questions we had. The beds were very comfortable, and the condo was well-equipped for our needs. The air conditioning worked well; we appreciated it being in both bedrooms and the main living space. It was a beautiful rental!

These condo are older/dated, but the one we stayed in was updated a bit, maintained and kept clean. It was a great central point to visit many parts of the island after we stayed at the Hilton's Waikoloa Village. Plus it was nice to cook breakfast and save money that way. We rented a car, but it looked as if you could walk down to the main areas of shopping and food. The condo had a great view of the sunsets, and all the amenities we would want; such as pans, coolers, two beach chairs and umbrellas. Our only gripe was we could hear the condo above us walking/stomping. It wasn't quiet...not sure if it's a vacation rental too.

I almost want to not leave a comment and keep this hidden gem secret. What an amazing condo. It was beautifully decorated and cared for. The view from the balcony was just stunning. The sunsets breathtaking. The unit was equipped with everything you would need. Beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. We would return in a heartbeat. The owner was responsive and very welcoming. Loved it.

My husband and I stayed at this condo for four weeks and had a blissful time. Our daughter visited us from Osaka, Japan, for nine days. The apartment is very tastefully furnished, spacious, and very well organized. Many properties in Sea Village are older. This one is newly renovated and is very clean. The kitchen has everything you need, and everything is new: good quality pots, pans, plates, etc... It does make a difference. The beds are very comfortable, and the bedding is of high quality. (I'll try to find and buy the sheets we had there for myself. They are soft and stylish) The condo felt like a home away from home. We spent hours on the lanai, drinking coffee or sipping wine, watching dolphins in the morning (use the binoculars!), and sunsets in the evening. The location is also fantastic. Kona and all restaurants are within short walking distance, and perfect snorkeling places are a short drive away. Alii Dr. is ideal for morning walks. Cathy was a great host. Always there for you. There were not too many rules, and everything made perfect sense. We will be happy to stay at this gorgeous place in the future.

Nice view from the lanai. Barbeque facilities were convenient. No air conditioning in unit however several fans and ceiling fans in unit which helped to keep the unit cool. Management was helpful, easy to deal with and responded quickly.

Overall, the property was good- not thrilling but solid. The picture of the patio shows a different table and it also makes the patio look larger then it really is. The view, watching the sunset and the ocean breeze were the winning factors. I felt safe in the complex and the parking was not an issue. Got a little warm in the bedrooms without AC which made it harder for me to sleep.

We have stayed at Sea Village several times over the last 20 years and it remains one of our favorite spots. It's intimate, perfectly maintained, centrally located and the service response is fast and friendly.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property overall was very nice. It was on the water but without beach access. Very good common areas with gas BBQs, tables, lawn and pool area. The unit itself was clean but dated. It was described as having A/C but none of the units in this complex had central or window units. Instead, this one had two portable A/C units, one in the living room and another in one of the two bedrooms. The living room unit was too small to do much cooling. Sleeping at night was uncomfortably warm. The bedroom without A/C was almost unsleepably warm. We tried sleeping in the living room but the bed frame in the convertible sofa was broken and unusable. The unit was supplied with an inflatable double mattress which we deployed in the living room instead. It didn’t ruin our vacation, but it made it less than comfortable at night.

I suggest maybe putting some information regarding beaches that are close but and whether or.not they are swimmable, and a sign to alert people there is a screen that can be pulled on the lanai. As a first time visitor to Hawaii I think those would be helpful since we drove around and never able to get in the beach area because of parking and then to find out when we found a beach with parking it was not swimmable at all. I will say the condo itself was nice and clean and I never needed to contact the host.

We loved this place and the chec-in process was very smooth and easy. Our family enjoyed the view and the pool along with sunsets and BBQ's. It was a quiet location and very peaceful. Would definitely stay here again. Accommodated our family of 6.

A great condo, the view from the lanai is excellent, the condo has been updated recently. The bedroom a/c is a bit noisy but we sleep with a noise maker so it wasn’t a problem. It’s about a mile to walk up to shops and restaurants on Alii drive. We were very happy with everything about the condo and it’s location.

This was a wonderful end to our 8 days on the Big Island. Wish we could have stayed here longer. The location was right on the ocean and we watched spinner dolphins from the lanai each morning. The complex was quiet and centrally located making it an easy drive to the beaches.

Rating Details: 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 really liked the view of the bay and the fish from the balcony. The sound of surf is one of the reasons we go to the ocean. It was an easy walk to the market/restaurants. We appreciated that the kitchen was equipped with all of the cookware and dishes. We enjoyed having room AC units in both the living and bedroom. The Bose mini speaker was nice to have.

The condo was underwhelming. Air conditioning was inadequate. If you have to turn it off while you’re gone the condo gets too hot. Takes hours for it to cool down and the bedroom never gets cool
Paul P.

Location was great, a short drive to downtown Kona. Property and condo were clean and just as described. Coffee on the lanai every morning was something to look forward to, beautiful view! This was our second time staying at Sea Villlage and we’ll be back! The only con, the condo was warm and the AC unit could not keep up.

This condo is right on the shore with no other building blocking the view. Spectacular. The condo is well furnished and has a great floor plan. It could have been cleaner. It would be awesome for people who stay out late and sleep late in the morning because the heat and humidity make the afternoon and evening pretty uncomfortable for those of us who have normal bedtimes.

We stayed here for our 35th wedding anniversary for 2 weeks. The unit has all the amenities you would need and any issues or concerns were immediately addressed by the host who even called us when we were a little concerned with what had happened, This had nothing to do with the unit and was not a safety issue. You really don't need AC if you follow what is recommended and just leave everything open, there is such a nice breeze most days. I can wholly recommend this unit for a nice quiet stay. It was so nice we actually never ate out as we had the best seat in the house at sunset for happy hour and could grill to our hearts content at the gas grills located near by. The location was fabulous! We saw pods of dolphins on many day just off the Lanai. I would recommend that you do a thorough inventory of all the stuff available before you go out to get supplies, this unit is loaded with what you need for your stay and we bought some things that we later found out were already there. Mahalo to the owners and Aloha to all who stay here, you will not be disappointed, How could you in such a beautiful Location! Thank you to VRBO, Cullen and Whitney!

We stayed in this apartment for 3 days and we really enjoyed our stay there. The apartment was clean and the location was great (within 10 mins drive to restaurants and stores). The ocean view on the balcony is amazing and we were able to see fishes (and beautiful sunset) right from the balcony. The room can get hot in the afternoon without AC but there will also be breeze from the ocean. I would recommend this apartment for those who are looking for a stay in Kona coast.

It was close enough to walk to all the restaurants and far enough away from the noise. The only drawback was no AC, but there were plenty of fans in the unit. We will definitely stay here again! Mahalo!

This is such a great place! The kitchen is amazing and has everything you could need. The beds are very comfortable and the AC works well. The decor is wonderful, and the two bedrooms/baths made our stay perfect. We honestly didn't want to come home!

The condo was very clean and organized. The kitchen had all of the dishes and silverware along with a dishwasher. The condo also provided beach chairs, cooler, towels, and other items. The lanai was right on the water and provided awesome sunset views every evening. There is a good ocean breeze through the condo, but it does get warm in the late afternoon as there is no air conditioner. The condo does come with 2 portable fans that helps keep the condo cool at night. The complex is a 1 mile walk to Kailua village and .5 miles to Honl's Beach.
