The living room and balcony face directly at the ocean. The sound of waves crashing against the rock is great to fall asleep to. Very clean and well kept. If you want a sandy beach you'll have to travel a little. But if you want an incredible ocean view on a beautiful and interesting island, this is the place.

This property was just right for our trip. Very well equipped, convenient, and clean. The only negative we had and this is a personal preference, the furniture wasn’t very comfortable. Otherwise everything was perfect!

After multiple visits to Kona, I'd have to say this condo has been our favorite. From the spacious, clean interior to the ocean-front views from the lanai....this place cannot be beat. The condo is well stocked with anything you might need, plus laundry soap was a bonus. As it was just my hubby and I, we only used the main bedroom. The king bed was more than comfy. There are ample fans, and a.c. if you need it. We only had the a.c. on one night in the beroom to cool off but most days the breeze was prefect. We will definitely stay here again!

This property is feet from the water with views of the town, people kayaking/canoeing, and morning dolphins and fish saying hello. We have already reserved this unit for three weeks next year.

First trip away with no kids, so we went all out. Amazing property with an amazing view. Having laundry in the condo was great. The fans were needed since no AC but tolerable for late November/December. Very clean condo with a great property, plus having Green Flash Coffee outfront was a plus.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only reason i didnt give it a 5 star is due to the furniture. I wish I could have put 4.5 stars. The livingroom cushions on the sofa and chair need to be replaced, they are not comfortable. The chair also needs a new support strap under the cushion. The owner is wonderful to work with. The condo is well stocked with beach essentials. We have stayed in this condo in Sea Village as well as others in that complex. Its a fantastic place to relax. ctsupporstrareplacing.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Kona and generally Sea Village 1203. I would like to say however that it needs some TLC by the owners. I would recommend that they come and spend a week in their unit and experience the kitchen and bedroom. It could be quite nice with some upkeep. The lanai has the ability to shade the intense afternoon sun but the shade has been broken for years rendering it useless. It's a shame really.

3rd time at sea village, 1st time in this unit but would def stay again. Roomy, clean, will furnished. We enjoyed ourselves very much!

November 2024

My wife and I had a wonderful three week stay at Teresa’s condo. The condo was meticulously clean and neat as a pin. The pictures on the website are accurate. We also really appreciated the fully equipped kitchen and all the beach toys provided for our use. We cooked a lot while we were there and didn’t want for anything. The BBQ area on the property was also a real plus. We were also pleased with the frequent communication from our hosts who were pleasant and helpful throughout our stay. The star of the show was the view from the lanai. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular and we spent a lot of time just enjoying the view and watching the cruise ships arrive and depart. I can highly recommend this property. We really enjoyed our time there.

The view is the best part of this property! It's super close to the ocean, and the sunset is visible daily. We aired out the unit daily by leaving both the lanai doors and the front door open; the screens on both looked to be in great condition and worked well to keep large bugs out. The property was more or less exactly as pictured. It's not exactly clean, but it was clean enough. There were items left behind from past guests, and the kitchen cabinets were disorganized. The bedroom and bathroom were also poorly positioned in the unit, so they essentially got no meaningful airflow. I'm personally not a fan of the decorations, but that's highly subjective. The AC unit worked very well, but we didn't need it because of the great airflow through the open lanai and the front doors. One thing to note for sensitive sleepers is that this unit is on the ground floor, so you will likely hear all the people waking up in the morning, stomping down the stairs, and slamming doors. At night, the property is brightly lit. I personally considered that a negative point as I wanted to be able to stargaze at night since the air was so clear during our stay. With that being said, the night sky was still sufficiently dark. The location is great! It's super close to the hustle and bustle of Kailua-Kona while remaining very quiet and peaceful. Fantastic weather on this side of the island as well, but it was pretty hot even in mid-November. Finally, as I've mentioned, the view is amazing!

Easy to use too many superlatives when describing this property. It has all we want, clean, beautiful views, everything actually works and well equipped.

This place was fantastic for our home base while exploring the island. Close enough to downtown and lots of beaches but quiet and cozy! The lanai was amazing to relax on and take in all the ocean vistas. The highlight for my wife and I was watching the dolphins play from the lanai. Great place and would most definitely stay here again.

We love this condo. It’s right on the ocean so the view is spectacular. It’s clean and centrally located with The Green Flash right in the parking lot.

This unit was my favorite place we stay on our last trip to Hawaii. The unit was clean and spacious with a beautiful view from the balcony. The pool and grounds were very well taken care of with lots of parking. Would stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit was about what I expected based on the description. It is dated, the sofa bed is broken and the kitchen, while well supplied, is full of old pots and pans. The same is true of the beds and linens. The table and chairs on the deck are bar height which for short people and mobility challenged people a problem to use. Unfortunately during our stay the pool was out of order so I cannot comment on it. The property management team was great. Super friendly and responsive. I encourage the unit owner to invest in some updates to improve the experience.

November 2024

Always enjoy this unit. We have revisited for several years.

The property was very clean, and we appreciated that the flooring was all tile. The view off the lanai is amazing. We appreciated the beach chairs and coolers available in the unit! We have stayed at this complex several times over the years, but this was the first time in this unit. As the shower in the main bath is very small, we think it would be helpful to have a hand-held shower to help with rinsing. The owner of the condo had several personal items and locking cabinets that cut down on space, particularly in the master bedroom. There wasn't much space in either bedroom closet to hang clothing. We probably would not pick November again at this complex as it seemed to be "maintenance" month. The pool was unavailable for 6 of our 14 nights (which we learned about very to our start date), exterior carpets were being cleaned in the outdoor stairwells and halls, and they came into our unit to perform a pesticide treatment. Otherwise, things were great.

The condo has a beautiful balcony view. However, the space is pretty beat up, the appliances are chipped, rusted and stained and space WAS NOT clean, the linens were old, the air conditioning was minimal. Pool was closed and not available.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Arrived 6PM. Neither bed made up, towels in washer & dryer.Dish washer never did work right. New washer installed, used once and it leaked water badly. Refrigerator ice maker broken. Leaked water and ice. Not fixed prior to departure. Went without nearly entire stay. Tiresome doing dishes by hand. King mattress way too soft for comfort. Pool & hot tub both closed for cleaning 5 days.

November 2024

The condo was nice and clean. It was nice to wake up in the morning, sit outside with a coffee and watch the dolphins and cruise ships. The living room sectional was comfortable for 4 adults to watch tv. It’s a minutes drive from the Kona restaurants.

You can park your car for free.We hat problem with the neighbour above. The ceiling was not well insulated and you hear every movement during night. But the manager was helpful and talked to them.

November 2024

Very clean and generally in great condition. Nice ocean-front views from lanai. Lack of air conditioning would not have been much of a problem if the roll-up sun screen on the lanai had been intact. The deployment chain was missing, though, so the sun made the lanai and even the living room difficult to use in afternoon hours. Prior reviews mentioned the location of the bedroom was next to the stairwell with the only windows opening onto the stairs. I would not recommend that for honeymooners. Noise from the stairwell was just occasional, but being a second floor unit, active children upstairs during daylight hours was not ideal. The less said about the television provider, the better. We did not go to Hawaii to open new accounts just to see basic tv. The kitchen was great, and parking which is often a problem elsewhere, was more than adequate. The bedroom problem was the result of tradeoffs in the design stage, and likely justified. The sunscreen problem needs immediate correction.

Lovely condo perfectly situated looking over the ocean and the pool. Quite hot but fans worked adequately. Towels and linens excellent. I would suggest a new cutting board and a kettle.

November 2024

This condo is lovely! The view is perfect. We could watch the Ironman swimmers come into the turn around and later went out to cheer on the runners by the side of the road. The condo was clean. We had one cleaning issue but we took it up directly with the owner and it was remedied and all is good. The bed was comfortable. The furniture was comfy. The kitchen had all we needed. We cook in a lot. The unit is close to the pool and grills which made it convenient for us because we spent a lot of time in both places. Parking was easy. We had a fabulous 9 days on island and this was the perfect base camp for us.

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.

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.
