great location

We loved the location of the condo. It was clean and kitchen has everything you need. The main bedroom is large and well lit, the ocean is right outside and the lanai is perfect to watch the surfers!The other bedroom is on the street and am told by our friends that slept there it is a little loud with traffic noise. Other than that, I highly recommend the stay. the booking and check in was simple and the price is comparable to other properties in the same location. Aloha!

Top notch location and amenities

We had an outstanding 7 day stay at Kathy and Bruce's condo. The description of ocean front is on point! The oceans' roar was amazing. We loved the lanai, and the ocean front master bedroom ocean front was perfect. We never turned on the TV as the ocean and the surrounding area was entertainment enough! Althought we only used the kitchen to prepare breakfast and cocktails, we noted that it contained everything that was needed to prepare dinners. I wouldn't hesitate staying there again the next time I visit Kona... Thank you!

Wonderful Condo by the Ocean

The condo was just as advertised in the listing. Very clean, well stocked, extremely comfy beds and pillows, a view to die for, and great location close to everything! No bugs, couldn't hear the neighbors, and great lanai. Only slight issue was the 2nd bedroom is close to the main street and kind of noisy, but we brought a sound machine so it wasn't aproblem. No AC but the ocean breeze makes it comfy.

Kona gem

Beautiful condo in old building. Fully renovated and current except NO AC. You can open up to vent out some of the heat and humidity but a simple upgrade of a mini split air conditioner would make this place a perfect 10.

Amazing beach condo

You cannot get a better location than this condo. Sleep to the sound of the ocean. Very close to town and other beaches. Quiet condo complex. The tide pooling was amazing right out in front of the condo. Sandy beach strip which is hard to find on the Kona side

Beautiful ocean front condo

This was the perfect place for our ladies’ trip! Watching the surfers and the sunset from the lanai was so awesome ! The condo had everything we needed, and we loved the little beach and the pool! Parking was easy ( not to be taken for granted!) and another big plus was that “Da Poke Shack” is in the same complex! Can’t wait to stay there again on our next trip to Hawaii!

Review of our two weeks in condo

Outstanding view. Great facilities. Convenient parking. Safe. Large lanai with nice furniture. Comfortable beds. Very modern washer/dryer set. Watched surfers and big waves all day long. Da Poke Shack restaurant was wonderful and on-site. Banyan Market across the street had nice assortment of food and beverages. Two miles from Kailua Kona center, so car necessary. Bus was available. Farmers market and taco stand short walking distance. Magic Sands Bar and Grill is one mile south.

Great Property!

Beautiful view, absolutely clean and comfortable. Would absolutely stay again. Condo is on the second floor, with plenty of parking spaces occupying the first floor. Living area and master bedroom open to a big west facing lanai and crashing ocean waves. There is a small sandy beach for lounging with a sandy wading area for smaller kids, but mostly lava rock beach. Ceiling fans in living room, bedrooms and lanai. New washer and dryer. Well stocked kitchen, with all the tools and cookware necessary to actually cook. Even a crockpot and things like soy sauce and vinegars from previous guests. Amenities you always wonder about, like laundry detergent, dish soap, beach towels, were included. Lots of things like aluminum foil and paper plates were available. Suggest taking a look at what's there before purchasing anything. Property manager was excellent, both respectfully attentive and unobtrusive. She communicated an unanticipated and no-fault maintenance glitch that affected time of checkin and resolved it promptly.
