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.

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.

This property was just as listed. Plenty of space- amazing lanai! Owner answered all our questions in a very timely manner and was very accommodating for what ifs at the location. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

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

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.

The condo is in a great location, clean, and had everything we needed. 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!

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.

Outside property is very nice. The kids had fun in the pool. The hot tub is made of volcanic rock and has little rocks which makes the walk in very slippery. The condo itself was very clean and everything worked, but it needs a renovation. Located just a little outside of town which made it quiet and not a lot of traffic.

The place was clean, quiet, and centrally located. It had the items listed and everything worked. I brought an extra tower fan into the bedroom from the living room and that worked out great. We used the BBQ one time in the courtyard. It was spotless and worked great. The views of the ocean can not be beaten. The pool was heavily chlorinated but that's expected with all the kids using it. The shower in the pool bathroom was unexpected and very nice to have.

The location is fantastic and at a great price. The view is amazing. The AC unit was broke and the replaced it within a day. I was shocked by how fast they fixed the problem. My only real complaint is that the place needed a good dusting. There were several portable fans and the intakes were covered with dust. So we had to clean them to use them. The in-room laundry was such a plus. Just know that the dryer capacity is limited so plan your laundry accordingly. I’d highly recommend the place and would stay there again.

Perfect location, very clean and equipped with all the necessary appliances and accessories. Having a washer and a dryer in the unit was priceless as I was traveling with a carry on. An exceptional view from the balcony. The only issue was that there is no AC, but if you leave the windows open and fans on at night, it cools down.

The stay was just what we wanted. When we arrived the property manager had food available for us since we arrived late in the day. The property was like the photos and very clean. Everything we could have needed the property provided. The property manager was easy to get ahold of if we needed anything and was very helpful and kind. My husband and I would stay there again. It was everything we were looking for and some. We are so thankful to have found this property and are looking forward to returning there again!

Nice condo with awesome view. Great location, pool and property were very well maintained. We had difficulty figuring out which switches worked for which lights or fans. Also had a small problem with roaches and noise from upstairs. Otherwise would have given 5 stars.

This property should not be listed as air conditioned. The portable unit did absolutely nothing! i saw other reviews saying a/c was bad, but expected the best. It was miserable sleeping. Recommend vertical blinds to help keep out setting sun heat. Washing machine leaked - needs bew seal. Location was great. Pool area was great. Grill/picnic area was great.

This unit was exactly what our family of 4 was looking for! The unit was stocked with everything we needed for our day trips to the beach (chairs, umbrellas, cooler, etc.) and came equipped with a Graco Pack 'N Play, which was great for our little one. The pool and grill area at Sea Village was very convenient and always clean. Jon was incredibly responsive to questions leading up to and during the trip. If we return to the Big Island, I wouldn't hesitate to rebook here.

A very nice unit with a gorgeous view within a mile of town. You can tell that the owner takes very good care of the condo. The layout is nice and the furnishings are well maintained. The grounds are well maintained with grills, picnic tables, and a pool. The owner left a lot of instructions about the condo and property along with a lot of information about the Big Island and activities. The owner also responded to questions promptly. The one downfall was the bedroom never cooled off, even with all the fans running. Mahalo to the hosts.

Everything was great! We were already very familiar with the Sea Village property as we have a family place in building 3. Because of the wedding, we had a lot of family and friends in town and most of them rented other units as well. This unit was very nice, with many upgrades, and an exceptional ocean view. Thank you!!

We adored the decor. The beds were very comfortable. The updated bathrooms were nice with good water pressure. The waterfront lanai was our favorite spot! Well appointed kitchen. Good and plentiful towels. Well kept property with friendly people. Maybe a mile from town, which is walkable for most. The town closes down pretty early anyway and we were always out exploring too late to get down there. Holly was great!

My family and I enjoyed our stay here very much! The condo complex was quiet and never felt too crowded. The common areas, grills, and pool were all kept clean and tidy. We were outside of the "busy" area close to central Kona, but not far at all. We saw lots of people walking into town while there or using rental bikes from the station just down the block.
Our unit itself was well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed eating meals and just hanging out on the lanai, which was mostly shaded from the sun thanks to the northern direction, and the unit was stocked with a cooler, beach chairs, umbrellas, and other beach accessories that made going out for the day easy.
I only had to contact the owner once when I was having difficultly with the lock box upon arrival. I figured out the issue but he immediately called me back, so I can only imagine if I needed anything else he would have been available quickly to assist.
Overall our stay was great and we'd certainly stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay in Kona Hawaii - Sea Village, the space was great a very convenient for our family of four with two bedrooms, comfortable beds and storage, two baths and spacious living/kitchen area.
We had all our needs covered including a wonderful view to the ocean from the lanai!. We appreciated the clean and minimalist atmosphere of the space - my wife loves mermaids and was happy seeing the theme through out the apartment, nice touch!.
And the place has all the accessories for a fun family vacation, from coolers, beach chairs and umbrella, buggy boards, snorkels etc., which was such a convenient set of extra amenities, would be good to list them in the VRBO site.
We thank you Whitney and Cullien for opening your home to us, we will definitely look forward to be back to Sea Village when we visit the Big Island again.
Mahalo!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our condo was the perfect size for the 4 of us. The view was amazing. Waking up and sitting on the lanai with a cup of coffee and the ocean right there was breathtaking. The grounds were beautiful with community BBQ’s to cook on was very nice. We had dinner outside 2 nights. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Communication with the property manager was very easy. Responses were very quick.
