This property was nicely located out of the busyness of downtown but close enough to venture in if needed. A little tricky to find the proper parking entrance the first time. All of that is secondary to the amazing nightly views of the sun setting and the morning coffee sunrise. If we are ever down that way again we will certainly try to score this place for lodging.

Our daughter and granddaughters stayed in this unit and we had another unit. They loved the architecture and the feel of the place....cozy and relaxing.
Large lanai with table & 4 chairs, lounger, rocker.
The two resident deck geckos were very entertaining.
The sofa was super comfortable...the youngest granddaughter claimed it for her bed as soon as she saw it.
Sun blinds on the lanai were greatly appreciated.
Very noisy during the day.
Just steps to the pool and the ocean. Loved the grass, sand and tidepools. Loungers and chairs provided down at the ocean.
Condo has beach chairs, boogie boards, noodles, coolers, grocery bags.
Kitchen well-stocked.
Lots of towels, including beach towels.
Wonderful to have a washer and dryer in the unit.
Great value.
Girls didn't want to leave!
Thank you, Mark!

This apartment for us perfectly. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, lots of towels and some basics like shampoo, conditioner, soaps, oil, spices etc etc.
It’s in a good quiet building with a nice pool and ocean views. The apartment could definitely use a renovation but for the price, it was as expected. This is not high end, it’s cozy!
All in all a great stay and the owner was great with communication. We will be back

Simple condo with all the amenities needed. The lanai was wonderful! The neighborhood was great. The proximity to the ocean was unbeatable.

As expected. Have stayed at the same property every time I visit the big island. Good location on the ocean side.

Beautiful, although on-site smoking area apart from others would be extremely helpful. Noted many uncomfortable times feeling discriminated against due to Nicotine habit. While I respect the notion of keeping the grounds clean, nicotine users also have rights and we pay for our habit carefully

I searched high and low for a place to suit my needs that was in the same complex as my family. Marks’ place exceeded my expectations
Homey, comfortable, and private. Perfectly located between magic sands beach and the downtown strip.
I had more than a few little situations pop up and Mark was super responsive and helpful. He went above and beyond to make sure I was safe and had what I needed. If I find myself in Kona again, I will definitely rent Mark’s place again.
Whether you want to keep it local
And eat at the poke shack
And watch surfers or cruise down the Kahalu’u beach park it’s all super close.
If you have a car don’t miss - Manini Beach, Two step, Black Sands, Beach 69 & magic sands.
Thanks for an awesome trip Mark!

This condo was one of three places we stayed during our first trip to the big island. It was perfect! Super clean, zero crawlers that happen often in those areas;) Was well priced… conveniently located on Ali’i Drive. A short 10 minute drive south takes you to a great snorkeling beach, and a 10-15 minute drive North takes you to the main tourist shops and restaurants. The condo was the best stocked of anywhere we stayed, with plenty of towels, boogie boards, coolers, carry bags, chairs, you name it. Air conditioning worked great. Pool and hot tub are small, but kept very clean. This condo faces the street, but it really wasn’t that noisy during the day, and was quiet at night. The beach on the backside has great tide pools and surfing. Wouldn’t recommend snorkeling right there because of all the urchins, but it’s great to search the rocks, and we did see turtles there. Would DEFINITELY stay again! Thank you for letting us rent this VRBO! :)

Spent 10 nights at this property. First trip to Big Island, 3rd to Hawaii. Priced right for location. Clean, well laid out, with everything you need for cooking, going to the beach, exploring... small cooler, chairs, umbrella and lots of towels. W & D in unit is so helpful. Coded entry is great, not needing a key. Parking space reserved is fantastic, close to the stairs/elevator. Location right on the water, surfing beach right outside. No swimming option here, but watching surf is excellent and we did see turtles a couple times right on the rocks out back.. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is the noise level from the road which the condo faces. It cannot be stated enough that if you don’t use earplugs, you won’t sleep much. The road is extremely busy day and night, and there is no soundproofing or noise barrier of any kind. Window AC works great, but also lets in sound, as do the doors to the nice balcony overlooking this busy street. We didn’t mind it, as we explore all day, and wear earplugs to sleep. It just needs to be very clear that this is not a quiet place to relax, unless you’re out back by the water, which is fantastic. Also, walking on Alii Drive is not safe to me. I booked this unit hoping to walk to the other beaches and to Kona nearby. It’s far too busy to safely walk, imho. We tried once, and then just Uber’s to Kona due to lack of available parking in town. There is a trolley shuttle, but it doesn’t run real often. Very convenient. Location is nice for exploring. We drove around the whole island a couple times, so many great places. 10 days of sun, no rain. This is a fantastic property in great location for exploring. If you’re looking to relax in a condo and watch the surf, book a unit on the water side, this is the best complex for surf and sunsets! Would definitely rent this again if we come back to explore. Would rent in the ocean side of this complex to relax.

Thank you Mark for letting us stay in your comfortable, cosy condo in Kona. The location was brilliant as we had our son participating in the 2019 Kona Ironman event. Everything was spotless and we loved sitting out on the front balcony observing the picturesque surrounds.
