We really enjoyed our time here. The views from the lanai were spectacular. It was relaxing to sit out there and listen to the sound of the waves coming in. The kitchen was stocked with many items that were unexpected. There were also beach towels and items available to make our stay enjoyable and more comfortable. The decorations gave the unit a beautiful Hawaiian vibe. It truly felt as if we had been welcomed into your home.If we are ever lucky enough to return to the Big Island, we would love to stay here again.

This was the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. The lanai was huge and the view was amazing. We could see fish and even a sea turtle from the lanai. One morning a pod of dolphins swam by! My husband and kids even fished from the lava rocks. We saw the most beautiful sunset every night.The bed was super comfortable and all of our needs were met. We hardly used the air conditioner and slept with the windows open. The breeze was perfect and the sound of the ocean was so relaxing. We used the pool, hot tub and ping pong table every day. I honestly didn’t want to leave. The rules at the pool were the only downside- no jumping, splashing or talking on the phone, but we still had the most amazing time. I hope to be able to return one day.

Great location, great ocean front property, Kona is a lovely place to stay. We explored the whole island and would stay here again. Near good food, some beaches, and shopping. Grocery nearby. The house is well-stocked and was so nice that they offered equipment to use (boogie boards, chairs, etc). Bed was comfortable. Very much enjoyed. Would stay again.

Absolutely beautiful condo right on the gorgeous lava rock beach. Every morning, my daughter and I explored the tide pools and amazing rock and coral. Perfect location to amazing Kona activities- snorkeling, beaches, grocery. Ocean sounds were a constant soundtrack! Beds and rooms were comfy, kitchen well stocked, great communication with the company managing the rental. The home is so lovingly decorated by the owners.

This unit was so clean and tidy! Great starter package, had every possible utensil needed, plenty towels and washcloths, and everything needed for the beach. The lanai sprawled across the whole front of the unit and down the pool side with multiple accesses from unit. By far had one of the best views. Super comfy bed, but the fish on the bathroom wall freaked me out, put toilet paper over its eye. Pool could’ve had longer hours and been more child friendly, (no balls, noodles or floating loungers). Well worth the money for a perfect vacation!

Amazing place! Wrap around lanai with views of the sunset. Bedrooms setup perfectly for privacy and both also had direct access to the balcony. Never needed air conditioning, as the ocean breeze kept the place comfortable at all times. Well equipped kitchen, nice bathrooms, and comfortable beds. No idea if the living room furniture was comfortable since we spent the whole time in the lanai! Easy drive into town.

Kona fun tastefully done

This condo was beautiful. Plenty of room for 4 of us. Beautifully decorated, clean and onsite staff friendly and helpful. The view from the deck was amazing and the owners provided lots of fun snorkel and boogey boards. The upstairs bathroom leaked through the ceiling to our main bathroom but the company responded quickly and we were not impacted for too long. Would definately recommend! Thank you.

Slice of Big Island Paradise

This condo was by far the most beautiful, well equipped and well maintained condo that we stayed in during our Hawaiian vacation. The views from the lanai are breath taking. We were able to see schools of yellow tang swimming in the reef right from the lanai and listen to the sounds of the waves and the myna birds. The AC works well as do the ceiling fans in both bedrooms and the den. Both beds were comfortable. We wish we could have spent another day in Kona just enjoying the beauty.

The Big Island

We loved this unit!!! Location was great (oceanfront). We lived out on the lanai, it was huge and had a ton of places to sit and enjoy the ocean views and sunsets. The unit itself was more than large enough for a family of 5. The interior of the unit was updated and clean. The unit was also well stocked, from beach towels to snorkel gear, to beach chairs, to anything you needed in the kitchen and for the grill. The complex and grounds were well kept. I would 100% recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay on the big island!!

Perfect for Ironman World Championship!

Beautiful condo, well supplied with everything you need to enjoy Hawaii. Beds super comfy. My only complaint was lack of central air, as the window units were super noisy and not quite effective. Also, if you are like me and one of those people who HAVE to have complete silence to sleep, bring noise cancelling headphones, as the condo is facing the beautiful beach and the waves are pretty loud. But these are all silly issues. I would definitely recommend 5/5 stars.

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: There is not enough room on this page, for us to describe how much we loved our stay there. The best recommendation that I can give, is that I wish I could live there. 2nd that we can't wait to go back. Every aspect was fantastic. Little things like, our flight got changed by 2 hours. We called the off hours number provided, to ask for a late check out. We were told "give me 10 mins. If someone was checking in on the same day, the answer would be no. If it was open, I'll let you know". She called back, and told us that no one was checking in, and that we could stay another 2 hours. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but not having to sit at the airport was a very very nice surprise. EVERYONE we spoke to, was nice & helpful. Mind you, we had just spent 3 days in Turtle Bay (VRBO rental). Lets just say the pictures were beautiful (and very old). It was listed as "Luxury rental". The unit was for sale, the the flyer in the unit read "Investors fixer up special". Then the owner would NEVER respond. This place a breath of fresh air!!! LOVED IT!!!
