Fantastic location right on the ocean. We went to sleep every night listening to the waves. The owner was very responsive to requests. We would return in a heartbeat.

Property is clean, well appointed and has a gorgeous view of the ocean. Owners are very responsive. The community is close enough to town to be convenient but also away enough to feel like you’re out of the busyness and condo is quiet. Highly recommend. Would stay here again!

The unit is super clean, everything I needed is available. Quiet and cozy most of all I love the AC especially at night.

The condo we stayed in was in an excellent location. We were only a short drive from many of the activities we were interested in doing during our stay. The condo also had A/C throughout the entire unit, which we had difficulty finding in other units/hotels in Kona. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a convenient location on the water. Also-swimming with the Manta Rays is a must!

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation. Relaxing being right on the waterfront and not far from some nice beaches. I had an issue while we were there in that the property manager changed the method of accessing the pool versus what was listed in the home documents. The others got back to us right away even though it was 8 pm in Hawaii and got us the info we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

We were two 50+couples staying for five days. We really enjoyed the clean and cosy house. The lanai was right by the ocean and the kitchen was very well equipped for home-cooking. We also used one of the grills. Close to shopping groceries and also a few restaurants in the shopping center. Walking distance to a great snorkelling place (look for low surf/low tide if you have small children). Air conditioning in both floors worked very well, except for a bit ”mouldy” smell in one of the bedrooms, but that will be taken care of, according to the owner. Would be happy to stay there again in the future.

Nice and clean. Jessica was great and very responsive. She was very helpful through the whole process and was flexible on the check out time for us since our flight was at 10 pm. The house was well stocked with household items. Will definitely stay there again!

This worked well as a home base for our family of four. It’s a small unit, but worked just fine for our group. The kitchen is small but well appointed and had what we needed to make several meals in unit. The unit provided a great array of snorkeling/beach gear. There is a very convenient shopping plaza within walking distance.

The property is within walking distance to a shopping plaza with everything you need. It us a short drive to the Alii Dr. Shops. The pool, tennis and pickle ball courts were a nice added bonus. It was perfect for our first few days on the island. Great location.

Great unit, very clean with wonderful kitchen necessities. The owners were prompt when communicating & the ocean view is outstanding!

We had a lovely time! The townhouse is very clean. We saw whales and dolphins from the back porch, which was great because our boat tours got cancelled for bad weather. The A/C worked very well and we were so glad we had it! The parking space is about 20 yards from the entrance, no stairs. The host was very communicative which was wonderful. We had lots of fun and really enjoyed our trip. This was a really great townhouse and we would definitely stay here again. The beach gear includes: a few chairs, sand toys, golf clubs, tennis rackets, kites, a first aid kit, two small coolers, snorkels, and more. A couple notes: the stairs have risen lips on them that make them difficult/dangerous to walk on, the beds and pillows are super ultra soft, the wifi was in and out so I wouldn't stay here if you need reliable wifi for work.

We had an amazing time and will definitely be back! Jessica truly lives the aloha way!! She was great at communicating and happy to resolve any challenges. I’m blown away by her generosity and above and beyond efforts to make us comfortable. We loved the high surf and witnessing the powerful ocean. Mahalo nui! Kanalani and Cam

You cannot beat the location of this property if you want to hear the sounds of the Pacific Ocean. Although you cannot swim outside the Lanai, an adorable snorkeling cove is within a 3 minute drive of the unit. The owner has a fantastic supply closet of anything you could need to make your stay easier (Coolers, beach chairs, sand toys, snorkeling equipment, umbrella, tennis rackets - it is located in a racket club). It was a short drive to the shopping district of Kona and about 1 hour to Volcano National Park. The home/kitchen was stocked with enough towels, sheets, pillows, cooking utensils, dishes, glassware, etc. Could not ask for a better location to start the new year off! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great location, although due to the storm/high surf the patio/lanai area and windows were boarded up for 5 of the 7 days. Once they were opened - the views were fabulous!! However, the owners provided a partial refund because of it - very generous! Well appointed condo; loved the provided beach eqpt. Kitchen could have been stocked a little better to allow for more "at home cooking". Could have used plastic wrap/foil for leftovers. Towels and bathroom accessories were generous. We would easily stay here again - thanks for making our vacation stay wonderful!!

This condo was absolutely perfect for us! We loved the closeness to the ocean, the pool was fantastic, parking was close by & we always felt safe. Everything was clean, & the unit had everything we needed, including coolers, beach gear, extra pillows, blankets, towels, & more. I will recommend this place to anyone traveling to that area, & I'd love to return to this exact place again in the future!

This property and the owners are top notch! We stayed for 10 days and were comfortable, content, and thrilled with this townhouse. We loved the pool, tennis courts, volleyball court, location, furniture, linens, beach and play equipment, amenities provided, and the quick response and kindness of the owners. I recommend this property, rate it 10/10! You cannot go wrong with this beautiful place. Thank you Jessica and Trent!

The townhouse that we stayed in was comfortable and well stocked especially appreciative of the wonderful snacks left for us. We used the cooler and chairs along with the snorkel gear which was a nice touch. The space was adequate for a family of four. However the master bedroom was a bit tight. The closet was missing the bar which would have been more useful than all the extra pillows and blankets that we never needed. Overall we would recommend this property to others.

First, to establish our bona fides, we have rented apartments in over a dozen countries, in some of which we have rented more than six times (different apartments) each. This apartment was the best ever! It was easy to find, communications with the owner were excellent, the apartment was spotless (with nary a bug, the bane of tropical living). The A/C was fine, as was water pressure, hot water, and drainage, The beds were amazingly comfortable. The back of the apartment contained a lanai that faced the rocky coast, with beautiful sunsets. (The pounding surf occurred a few hundred yards up the coast; the ocean was relatively placid just outside the apartment.) The gem of the apartment was the kitchen, with every imaginable utensil available. Since we rarely, if ever, eat out when we travel -- we prepare just about every meal in the rented apartment -- the kitchen was stocked as well as our "foodie kitchen" at home. Would we stay there again? Yes, in a heartbeat.

Great townhome with so much included: beach towels, chairs, umbrella, fins, snorkels. Clean property with a great lanai with a beautiful view over the ocean. Note that the private beach is rocky and not safe for swimming. It’s pretty to sit by and watching the sunsets from there was so pretty. We also loved the pool!

The condo is literally a breath of fresh air with central air conditioning. It was well acquainted with everything we needed including snorkel gear and lawn chairs to take to the beach. It was impeccably clean and cutely decorated. We will definitely be back!

We loved the location and privacy of this townhouse. We had a lovely welcome basket of fun goodies when we arrived, a very nice unexpected touch. The owner was great to deal with. One of our favorite parts of the island was the Hawaii Tropic Bioreserve and Garden, amazing! Snorkeling was great at two step, gets busy, get there early. Also loved the Volcanoe National Park. Wonderful visit, hope to return.

My husband and I enjoyed the condo. We loved having the patio to watch the waves crash on the rocks. The only feedback we have is the upstairs smells moldy. The unit itself is clean and well kept.

The condo is located in a nice gated community, and the ocean view off the back patio [which is not private as people can walk by and you can see other patios next door] is breathtaking [we saw dolphins swimming on several days!]. We brought take-out home to eat on the back patio often and watch the sunset. There is beach access within a 5 minute walk [good for sunset watching, but not swimming]. There is a convenient shopping center 5 minutes away with restaurants and a grocery store (and a farmer's market on Saturday mornings). We didn't realize you have to buy all your drinking water in Hawaii [you can buy big jugs at the KTA grocery store with a deposit for the jug and then exchange empty for full ones for cheaper, or better, go find a Water Box to refill your jugs for a third of the cost]. Our host's local contact bought us 4 bottles of water when she heard we didn't have any, which was very thoughtful :) There was a high surf advisory for about 5 days of our stay, and the condo management closed up our back deck for 5 days, as the surf was literally crashing against the condo, so we lost our ocean view, which greatly diminished the enjoyment of staying there and made the condo like a dark cave [though the high surf was exciting upstairs]. If we come back to the Big Island, we'd probably stay in North Kailua-Kona, as we were driving north to find the sun and the nice beaches and snorkeling [like Hapuna, Mauna Kea, beach 69 etc.] almost every day, which is quite a drive from Keauhou. There is good snorkeling at Kahalu'u Bay just 5 minutes from the condo, but if you want a really beautiful beach, you need to drive a bit farther. The hosts were very kind and responsive when we asked them not to have the place sprayed for bugs during our stay [which the condo complex was routinely doing]. This is a good place to stay if you want to be more centrally located to explore Captain Cook and Kealakekua Bay, the Southern part of the Island, and go see the volcano via the southern route.

We really enjoyed our stay here . Had all the amenities we needed . It was nice that there were beach towels and snorkeling gear. Beach for snorkeling was only a short walk away. Stores and restaurants were very close. Beautiful ocean views !

The property is really convienient to lots of activities and grocery store. My favorite was the walking distance to blue bikes to rent to go toodling about. Also short drive to snorkeling boats and 45 minutes to A-Bay beach. So the week we were at the property the beach adjacent was closed for coral spawning, lol. But we had no shortage of other options and the condo complex has tennis.

Not only was this place super clean and comfortable, the views were amazing (we saw dolphins jumping out front!) and the hosts were so responsive and helpful they are literally the best hosts I've ever had. The community is safe and quiet with a nice big pool, and we found the location to be absolutely perfect for exploring the big island. It was perfect all around!

Firstly I have to say the owner, Jennifer was so easy to work with. Secondly tho this is an older condo it is nicely updated and very clean with comfortable beds and furniture which is a must for me. This condo is right on the water and close to the pool too. We only had a short stay as we are visiting other islands this trip but wouldn't hestitate to rent again.

We had a great stay at this townhouse. The welcome card and fruit were a huge hit. The townhouse was clean, beds were comfortable, air conditioning was refreshing, having laundry and a kitchen available was awesome, and the grills by the pool were a nice addition to our meal preparation. The townhome is located near everything yet just far enough away to relax. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai and watching the birds and looking at the ocean (my husband even saw a whale fluke). One of our favorite things to do was walk to the small beach and view the tide pools. We saw a few sea turtles, too. It was hard to leave and we already want to come back.

You cannot beat the location and sunsets. The unit has air conditioning and was very comfortable. We used the pool almost every day. It was very clean. We would consider staying here again.

The property was as advertised. We turned off the air because the breeze off the ocean kept the temperature just fine for us. We appreciate the gifts on the table when we arrived. Communication with the owners was great and helpful. Having a large supermarket only a few minutes away was wonderful because we make almost all of our own meals. The sounds of the waves and watching the sun set every evening is alway was wonderful. Being in a gated community increases the safety factor. Having a tea kettle would be a good addition and larger bath towels and some bath mats for the floor when you get out of the shower would be nice. For most people these might not be important but as one ages one appreciates these additions. Over all we were happy with our stay and would consider coming again on a future trip.

A beautiful community! The ocean view was fantastic, & we were fortunate to see a few whales in the distance from the lanai. Comfortable accommodations! A steep walk up to keauhou shopping center, but very convenient. Definitely recommended!

We had a nice long weekend getaway, just the two of us. The place is exactly how it is described and looks in the picture, very clean and modern. The host is amazing and responds quickly with any questions. The only downside was that I when we were there they had huge waves, which I guess happens during the winter, and the property had to board up the patio and couldn't be used. Other than that we loved falling asleep to the sounds of the waves right outside and loved the smell of FRESH air, we don't get that too much in Phoenix. The husband and I are already planning our return with our kids and hopefully other family members next year.

We were very pleased with this property for our short stay. The view and location were fantastic and the condo was clean and thoughtfully laid out. There was a beautiful welcome basket for our arrival. We would stay here again, for sure!



November 2021
Clean, well-stocked, very comfortable stay! Absolutely loved sipping my coffee on the lanai every morning gazing at the ocean. Loved having the twin beds for our teenagers! So many VRBOs only have queen beds, which is not as versatile for families. Nice, comfortable living space. Communication with property owner and local contact, was smooth and fast. The A/C was not working when we arrived, and the property manager had it fixed within the hour. There was ample sporting equipment in the closet: snorkels, boogie boards, lawn chairs, tennis racquets... This is a great place to stay!

We have nothing but positives to say about our stay at this condo. The AC in the bedrooms made sleeping at night so comfortable. The lanai with the view to the lava rock and ocean is perfect for morning coffee. The place was very tidy and clean and stocked with everything we needed. The property managers were quick to respond and even allowed us a later check out time. No complaints whatsoever, a perfect place to stay!

We had just finished our usual week at our timeshare in a different unit on the same property. Our timeshare had merged with VI Resorts and they had removed everything that made the place feel like home rather than a rental. Gone were the pool noodles and the beach chairs, gone was the booklet with tips for restaurants and changes in Beach conditions, gone was the on site contact … it was so nice when we moved to this unit. The feeling of Ohana was back :-) beach chair, restaurant recommendations, even condiments in the fridge. And of course the view was spectacular, the place was spotless, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We will be back.

I have so much to say about our stay at Jessica and Trent’s place it’s hard to know where to begin. From the time I booked our stay, our hosts we’re nothing but gracious, helpful and incredibly quick to respond. It’s a beautiful property and the amenities are just as advertised. The location is ideal. We traveled all over the island with our nine and seven year olds. They especially enjoyed snorkeling in the pool! We absolutely loved our eight day stay and would recommend this unit without any hesitation. You simply can’t get any closer to the beautiful Hawaiian waters! Absolutely breathtaking watching the sunset from the lanai and master bedroom!

This condo was amazing. The view from the lanai is breathtaking. The unit is very well equipped with everything you need from snorkel gear to beach chairs. The condo itself has nice flooring and beautiful views from the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. The location is great and the complex is very nice. I highly recommend renting this condo.

It was an wonderful experience during our trip to Big Island ! The house is amazing and beautiful location .. Beautiful views from your backyard and house has pretty much what you needed for our stay. Sunsets are so amazing !! Already lots of our friends are asking about this house for their upcoming Big island stay 😊.

Fantastic location right on the water. Great to have morning coffee looking at the ocean and beautiful sunsets right out your back door. Clean, convenient and very comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen. Pool and bbq grilles are a huge plus. Even a small ice chest, beach chairs, tennis racquets, boogie boards and water toys are available. Great place.

We stayed at this unit in September 2018. We had stayed at another unit in the same complex a few years ago, and wanted to stay in the same complex again. While it was only my wife and I staying this time, the condo is perfectly sized for a family of 4. Kitchen is fully equipped with utensils, and some basic spices (check before heading to the grocery store). Some basic items are available for the beach, such as chairs, beach umbrella, coolers, and water sports items. We cooked breakfast in the kitchen daily, and prepared dinner in the condo about half the nights. Gas grills and charcoal grills are available throughout the complex, the closest being a gas grill located by the pool. No need to buy anything except food, grilling utensils available. We were a bit worried about the AC keeping the unit cool enough during this time of year, but we were comfortable the entire stay, especially at night while sleeping. We had a small issue with WiFi at the beginning of our stay, but the owners took care of the issue promptly. We would highly recommend this unit to our friends and family.

Great location for our quick getaway. Snorkeling at Kahaluu Beach park was our favorite- such an easy walk!! Keauhou Shopping Center was very convenient to have so close especially on the night we decided to BBQ. Sunsets were amazing EVERY night. Even though we tried to limit our “screen time” having the WiFi access was appreciated. Highly recommend.

Nice property in great location right on the water! My sister and I stayed in this unit and had a great stay. We say dolphins and even a few whales right from the Lanai. Both rooms were spacious and it was nice to have a shower downstairs as well if we both were getting ready at the same time. The area itself can't be beat, we found the resort to be very quiet but activities in Kona are endless. The unit itself was comfortable, clean and well stocked, we had everything we needed. We appreciated the proximity to the pool and tennis courts. Jessica was very responsive when making the reservations and made some great recommendations since we were newbies to Kona. We both will be coming back next year with our families.

We enjoyed an excellent stay and really appreciate the positioning of this property right on the oceanfront - the sound of surf crashing in is actually very soothing. Location in Keauhou is great too - about 20 min south of main Kailua town, but with its own amenities nearby. Ten minute walk to one of the nicest snorkelling beaches on the island. Great pool and professional grade tennis courts really augmented the facilities available with this property.

Pros: Sunsets, ocean front, swimming pool, very nice owner, responsive Cons: Older, general disrepair. Mismatched towels, flannel sheets in Hawaii? 1/2 full outdated condiments in fridge. Can feel the coils in bed springs. Needs a thorough cleaning, repair and update. A solid 2 stars.

Condo was great right next to the ocean fully stocked with everything good pool and complex amenities communication was great also some beaches are a few minutes away with a car although the really nice beaches are like 30 minutes to an hour away only reason to give 4 stars is it wasn't super clean but overall we had a great stay than you
