Lovely condo, as advertised in the photos. Not having A/C was a concern at first, but the deck faces NW and has a drop down screen so it was shaded almost the entire day and it stayed cool. We lived on the deck - ate all of our meals there, played cards in the evening, and enjoyed the breeze and the view, including sunsets and dolphins. Beds were comfortable and property owners very responsive when we had a few small issues (broken fan, light bulbs out.)

As with most older properties, the exterior of the building is showing some wear and age, but is kept up very well. The grounds are nicely landscaped and maintained.
This condo was clean and very well equipped. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed to get us started for our week of vacation. Plenty of beach gear and towels as well. Being an end unit, there were plenty of windows to open to take advantage of island breezes, and with the shades lowered in the mid-afternoon, the unit keep quite cool with just breezes and fan. It also felt quite private and quiet despite proximity to the pool and all those windows. Geographic location also quite nice, given convenience to downtown Kona and oceanfront placement.
The layout is a little funky with a few tighter than ideal spaces, but overall worked well for our needs. The furniture is showing its age, but was reasonably comfortable. The beds were a little on the firm side, without being super supportive, and the upstairs master bedroom floor creaks a bit. These are all really minor concerns, and are definitely the worst things I can say about this property.
All in all, it is an excellent place with absolutely killer views all around and a wonderful place to spend a week.
Additionally, the concierge and the property management were both extremely easy to work with, and were very accommodating.
Two thumbs way up for this one. Will rebook here!

Stayed here before. Because the views are the best we rebooked our family vacation and will do again.

The unit is spacious, has great view of the ocean and has all the gears you need for the beach, amenities on site are good (pool, BBQ) and location is great. Communication with the staff is great and they responded quickly to maintenance request.
My only complaint is that the master bathroom needs some work, it’s dated and the shower curtain is too short so that water spill all over, we ended up all using the other bathroom for shower.

Aside from seeing an erupting volcano, this condo was our kids' favorite part of the Big Island. The views from the two lanais were gorgeous, and as beautiful as they look in the photos. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was supplied with all the dishes, pots, and pans you could need, and the larger property is lushly landscaped with a very nice pool. There is no a/c, but there are ample fans in all of the rooms. With fans on and windows open (there are screens), we were quite comfortable sleeping. Listening to the surf at night was so soothing.
Communication was very good. When the unit was ready early, they called us while we were still collecting our bags at the airport to let us know that we could check in early, if we wished.
It was a lovely stay, and we would book it again and recommend it to our friends.

Amazing location, beautiful views and lots of space for our family. Just know there is no air conditioning and it was hot at night.

Great time on the big island. The view was awesome from the deck. We would stay again for sure.

Beautiful view, right on the water. Fell asleep to the sound of water on the rocks every night.

The property was even better than the pictures show! The lanai on both floors overlooking the ocean was amazing. Most of our time was spent looking at the ocean and we even spotted whales one morning. It was just my husband and I but there was a second bedroom big enough for two more people or children if you have a family. The unit is immaculately clean and well cared for as is the entire property. Communications with Kona Coast was always prompt and informative. We would definitely recommend our friends and family stay there and especially 1101!

Was a nice place and stay. The pool area was very nice and clean. Seemed to have adequate and nice staff caring for the place. Would definitely stay again.

We spent a wonderful week at Sea Village in a waterfront unit. Loved the view and the sound of waves in a very comfortable unit right next to the pool. Looking forward to a return visit.

We had a wonderful restful experience. It is very close to the pool therefore there can be pros and cons to that but everything shuts down pretty early.
Some general maintenance things would be nice…screen door.
Definitely would book again

The condo was perfect for multi family stay. Excellent location, and you can never forget those views! Only negative is It was unseasonably warm and there was very little wind while we stayed, so it was pretty warm without AC. Thanks!

We were in Kona for the race and my mens Team finished second in our class. This condo was a great vantage point for all the races. We will be back for the 50th race and be staying in this unit.

The sound of the waves crashing just below the balcony and the magnificent ocean view made this the perfect place to get away and decompress.

Waking up to the sound of the waves crashing into the rocks would never get old. We could see fish swimming from our lanai and even spotted some dolphins playing in the water. The giant windows allow for you to do dishes or cook while watching people parasail, boats go by, and in the right season I bet you could even see whales. Their was everything we could want for cooking, even with a party of 6 adults. Also found snorkeling gear, body boards, and pool noodles in the closet. Was an amazing stay and would recommend to anyone wanting to stay within walking distance to downtown but still far enough that you don’t feel like you’re in the middle of a city.

You stay here for the unbeatable views, location, and space. As a family of 4, it was important for us to have separate bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen to cook, and washer/dryer. The layout of the condo is perfect. This corner unit view can’t be beat. You see ocean views everywhere downstairs, and the master bedroom and upstairs bathrooms. It feels like you’re practically in the water (probably actually about 24 feet away). The location is great, being close to Kona but in a quiet spot.
The rules are strictly enforced for pool hours and quiet time, so you’ll get your peace and quiet. Keep in mind this place does not have a/c and it can get miserably hot even with all the fans and wearing next to nothing and windows open, and there are some bugs here and there. I knew to expect both situations from the description on the condo and reviews but definitely consider those things and if that will be tolerable for you. The first night was rough with the heat but then I think we acclimated and it was tolerable. You will see ant traps they’ve set out with lots of ants in them, kill a bug here and there, and once I had to kill about 10 bugs on my kid’s bathroom ceiling before their bath and we did see 1 cockroach. It was ok for us as we heard it’s part of island life and I’m not sensitive to bugs and the ocean views made up for it but good to know going into this booking. I will probably look for a place with a/c (I’ve stayed in hotels with them on most of the islands, so I know they exist) next time, but we still enjoyed our stay. Have fun in Hawaii!

We had to cancel this trip 2 times prior due to Covid...SO glad to finally make it this time! This is a great unit..went to bed every night with the sliding door open and slept to the waves.

Condo has everything you could need with a flawless view! Sunsets every night! I will definitely stay here again if in the area. Just passed the hustle and bustle of downtown Kona so it’s quieter. Only thing you will hear is the waves.

This unit is great! We have stayed in several units at Sea Village and this one is our favorite. It has a 270-degree view and is well appointed and clean.

The views were incredible! The condo was well maintained. We had a wonderful time! My two sisters in law saw dolphins one morning at the window.
Called property manager about a broken fan and they sent a replacement the next day! My one suggestion is that because there’s no ac that back room gets pretty warm, I think it’s important to have 4 working fans in the unit.
Loved the place and our time in Hawaii! Would come back to this place in a heartbeat! Aloha!

The location is great and the view from the lanais is even better than the advertised photos. I would definitely stay again, but there is one thing I would recommend future visitors pay attention to. The unit website says no air conditioning, and that is true. There are ceiling fans, and at least 5 portable fans in the unit that can be moved around depending on where you may want them. We weren't in the unit much during the heat of the day, and the bedrooms have ceiling fans, so sleeping was comfortable. I may well return, and if I do, I may consider going to Walmart to buy a portable air conditioner unit and just leave it there when I leave.

Reviewer Comments:
What a perfect spot to stay in Kailua-Kona. The grounds at the Sea Village were very well maintained and the common area was a great spot to spend with family and friends. We loved the pool and hot tub area where we meet many friendly families. The benefit is a central location very close to town, yet far enough out that it was quiet and peaceful. Having the Green Flash Coffee house on site was a bonus! The condo had amazing views and new appliances which can't be beat. Updating the shag carpet on the second floor would improve the overall appeal of this condo. That being said, we would most certainly rent this condo again on our next visit. Thanks for Kona Coast Vacations for making the rental process very easy. They were very professional and quick to respond to questions and calls. Aloha!
