Honeymoon in Paradise
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had an amazing time. The check in process was very simple and the unit was exactly what we expected. The only negative I have would be the overall cleanliness of both upper and lower lanai's. Upon our arrival both were completely covered with falling debris from the tree. We had to clean it off the table, chairs and decking before we could use. The unit is stocked with necessities to enjoy a full day of fun in the water or sun. Kitchen and Bathrooms were both stocked with necessities and a few extras. The pool is very comfortable as well. The location was convenient to beaches, shopping, dining and tours. Overall we had an amazing time and would stay again.

Well equipped and maintained
This well maintained unit had everything we needed for a three week winter getaway. The condo is perfectly located. A short uphill walk to shopping and restaurants, and an easy downhill stroll to the bay, dive cruise dock, rowing club, and the Kona Outrigger Hotel. The ocean sunset view from the deck is perfectly framed by the Monkey Pod tree that provides welcome shade and coolness in the afternoon. Sunbathing on the deck in February is a 1.5 hour window around noon due to this beautiful tree. However, the pool area is a short walk away. It is has shaded tables and chairs, plus lounge chairs if you wish to sun bathe, plus umbrellas for shaded lounging. The unit is closer to the road than we estimated it to be, but traffic noise at night is light as the road to the bay dead ends. You quickly adjust. A heads up for those that need to use the sleeper sofa. It is new and very high quality, but operates differently from most. The instructions are in a white Welcome Binder that also contains info on the operation of the ceiling exhaust fan, and other tips and recommendations. Somehow we missed finding it until we had been there a few days. Things are so well labeled that we had figured most things out by then. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful property! It’s exactly as it looks in the listing photos. But what you don’t see is all the extras like all the kitchen and bathroom supplies and plenty of fresh coffee beans and guide books for the Big Island. For the most part, the lack of AC was not a problem. Warm in the evenings inside, but comfortable sleeping. Great location to some of the best spots around Kona. 25 minute drive to the best snorkeling on the island. 5 minute walk to picturesque rocky beach for sunsets. 15 minutes to downtown Kona (except during rush hour).

Great Location and Super Clean
Our family of three stayed two weeks at this townhome and were satisfied. We stay at numerous VRBO's throughout Hawaii and this townhome was more clean and more organized than most. The location is great for grocery shopping, fuel for vehicle and walking distance to the small boat harbor. The townhouse location for day trips to Captain Cook for kayaking and snorkeling was also convenient as there is very little vehicle traffic on the drive back to the townhome. The pool area was super clean, modern and larger than the pictures depict. We swam in the pool every other day and we were always alone! Finally, we were impressed with the overall vibe throughout the complex. It was quiet, clean and felt private. The only negative is the townhome location in relation to the street below. The street is not especially busy, but expect a little vehicle noise at various times. Overall, it was an excellent townhome, and we will not hesitate staying again!

About the host

Hosted by Linda & Hugh Maffett

Host profile image
Aloha, welcome to our Hale in Keauhou. A little bit about us. We have been married for 20 years. Hugh was born and raised in Boise, Idaho and Linda is originally from Vancouver, BC Canada. We have both lived in the Pacific Northwest our entire adults lives, with multiple trips to the Hawaiian Islands through the years. Although we both appreciate the changing seasons of Washington State we do like to get away from the cool wet winters and spend a little time in Hawaii. We fell in love with the Big Island and knew at some point we had to have a place of our own. Hugh is a retired Tug Boat Captain and Linda is a Registered Nurse working in the field of Hospice care. We have a teenage son who will be starting college in the fall of 2023.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the peaceful area of Keauhou, with many trips to Keauhou Bay to enjoy the magical Manta Ray Night Snorkel. Keauhou is just a short drive from the fun action of Kona town with plenty of beaches to visit along the way. When we found this lovely town home we knew it was the right one for us as we appreciated not having other tenants above or below us, the bi-level was appealing as well as the two spacious Lanai's.
