We all had an excellent stay and the view was just gorgeous. Everything we needed and more. The pool was great also. It was so nice being right across from snorkel beach. The snorkeling was amazing here, for real and we have been a lot of places. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to Kona. Thank you again for being such great hosts!

Amazing location! We walked to Kahalu’u and snorkeled/surfed. This was exactly as photographed and described. There were multiple boogie boards, chairs, a surf board, and a cooler. We cooked many meals - it was easy thanks to how well stocked the kitchen was! We also enjoyed the gorgeous pool area. Many thanks!

We had a fantastic time and wish we would have booked more days here. The hosts Duane and Cherie were so helpful and accomadating to our needs.We love that the kitchen was so well stocked, including spices and ziploc bags. The view was so beautiful and watching surfers was very entertaining. Our breakfast routine included watching dolphins and we even saw a late season whale spout. The condo was beautifully decorated and it felt like a home, so relaxing! Don't bother bringing snorkel gear or beach gear, its all there! The pool area and BBQ was lovely, sunsets are not to be missed!

Wonderful Stay -- We Didn't Want to Leave!

We loved our stay at this property — the location was perfect and it had everything we needed for an incredible vacation. We especially appreciated all the beach gear provided, which made it so easy to snorkel at one of the best snorkeling beaches in Hawaii. And the view was incredible. Our only complaint is that our stay was too short! We can’t wait to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Duane and Cheri Severson

Host profile image
We have been to every Island many times but we decided to buy here on the Big Island. We have enjoyed our place and try to visit as many times as possible. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

Why they chose this property

We love the beautiful location. Right across from the best Snorkel Beach at Kahaluu bay. We have a great view of the bay and the surfers. During the winter season we can see the whales breaching. We added a spotting scope to see them even better.

What makes this property unique

We have snorkel gear and a surf board. All you have to do is walk across the street. We have beach chairs, towels and ice chest if you don't want to get in the warm tropical water.
