Overall, we had a good stay at the property. The location was perfect and the check-in went smooth. However, the property could’ve used a few updates we felt it wasn’t quite as clean as expected. The Facility was very dirty. (Elevator and walkways) still a pleasant trip and a decent value.

The view from the lanai was amazing. We enjoyed sitting outside and listening to the waves. We also saw whales, sharks and turtles while we were out there; the view was better than advertised, if that's possible. We also loved falling to sleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks. The condo had everything we needed and was lovely.

The deck and view were phenomenal. Open the sliders and the sea is right there in all its glory with binoculars included to help you watch for birds and whales. Also the interior space is quite large for the rate and did include a washer, dryer and dish washer. The downside is that the bedroom is on the street side of the condo and REALLY loud with traffic all night and lights shining into the space despite the mini blinds. Also hot and humid in May with no central air or dehumidifier. We wound up sleeping in the living room which was neither comfortable nor practical. Also the little things like toilet paper and body soap were missing. Toiletries and cooking supplies limited to what was left by other renters. So view, location, and cleanliness great but not so solid with creature comforts.

Edgar is a wonderful host! The condo is an older condo, not far from Kona town. The view from the lanai is wonderful. Whales spotted most days. It’s a little schlep from the elevator to the condo, but once you’re in, it’s 3 flights for a shorter path from the garage.The bed is comfortable, and good fans throughout. Ali drive can be noisy in the evening, but earplugs help with that. Da Poke Shack is part of the complex. Best Poke and Kailua pork plates around.

The ocean waves crashing captivated as soon as we walked into the condo! We opened the sliding door to the lanai and I parked myself there for almost the entire stay. We had everything needed to fix meals and enjoyed all meals and coffe on the lanai… just a wonderful experience. I loved the HI decor and HI artwork in the condo and nice touches of aloe cucumber lotion was really appreciated. Parking and elevator was easy. My husband snorkeled almost every day, making use of our host’s recommendations. We went to the Standing Stone Church next door which was great! Enjoyed this relaxing vacation so much and hope we can return.

About the host

Hosted by Edgar Mendez-Chacon

Host profile image
In March 2014 we vacationed on the Big Island for the first time and fell in love with the island. We purchased a townhouse that year (www.vrbo.com/578036) and love coming back regularly to Kona. In May 2017 we purchased this condo and love the view from the lanai along with the vibe inside the condo. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The view from the lanai is spectacular and you can just sit and lounge there all day watching the turtles, fish, whales and the waves rolling in. It has a great island feel with the decor inside the condo along with nice artistic touches of painted murals on the wall.

What makes this property unique

Have your morning coffee and breakfast on the lanai and watch the honu (sea turtles) feeding in the water down below.
