Loved, loved, loved this property. Such a comfortable bed in master. Never slept better. Ocean lulled us to sleep at night, so relaxing.
Grounds were immaculate . Condo was well stocked! Couldn’t have asked for more.

This condo is in a great location with beautiful views. My family and I stayed here for Ironman weekend. It was a great size for us. A few issues - when we arrived, the air conditioner was off, and the controller had been locked up in the owner's closet, so we had to call Marcia (who was great and very responsive!) to come out and get it for us. We were paying for AC, so the controller should have been out. In addition, we only had 2 wash cloths for 3 people. We were told more wash cloths must have been in the owner's closet, but we just ended up buying some cheap ones to use. The bedrooms had no lighting other than dim bedside lamps, so once the sun went down, you were basically with no light in the rooms. There needs to be floor lamps or something in these rooms to help with that. Other than these things, the condo was great for what we needed.

We loved our stay at this condo. The panoramic view and shaded deck were enjoyed often. The location is close to stores and restaurants. It's a short walk to once of the best snorkeling beaches in Hawaii. We really enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our stay at this unit. The location is spectacular overlooking the ocean and it was wonderful watching the beautiful sunsets every night. We were very comfortable but felt that it could benefit from a few updates and a general refresh. The unit was very clean, beds were comfortable and it was well equipped with beach chairs, towels and umbrella.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay! The condo is beautiful, and well stocked. Views are amazing. Sounds of ocean waves are soothing. Bruce was very accommodating and easy to work with. Fantastic experience!

Fantastic view of the ocean. Watching for whales and spinner dolphins was always in the back of your mind as you had a meal on the Lanai or were just relaxing.

We had a great time at our stay in the condo. The condo was beautifully decorated, roomy and well-supplied. We really appreciated having beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards available to us. The views from this condo are breathtaking, and you are within a couple miles of good beaches and snorkeling to the north. The week we were there was hot, and wished we had A/C on the last day The condo has many fans, and overall, that helped a lot; however, we had one day that was very hot and no trade winds...Overall, we the condo and amenities were great.

Our family enjoyed a 9 day stay at this perfectly located condo on the Big Island. The oceanfront view is stunning. The accommodations were comfortable and we had everything we needed during our stay. Everyone had their own space (2 grown-ups and 2 teens). Perfect. We were able to relax, restore, and get out to experience the island. Our first Christmas away from home was amazing! Bruce was very accommodating to our needs. We'll be back!

Beautiful condo, gorgeous view. Absolutely nothing lacking. Such a lovely condo in a very nice complex with wonderful amenities.....

Aloha! This condo was perfect for me and my family of four. The stunning sunset views from the balcony were amazing! It was a bit warm for our stay in August but we’re able to purchase the daily air conditioning. It didn’t reach the loft but there were plenty of fans available in the condo. We all had a comfortable stay. It’s also in a great location with a quick drive into the Kona area. Bruce and Vicki always responded quickly to our needs and issues. We would definitely stay hear again!

Wow the first thing u notice when u walk in this place is the view, is it ever beautiful! My favorite part was sitting on the Lani have breakfast with my kids and watching the dolphins play in the water... life dosnt get much better. All the accommodations were great very comfortable beds and everything worked great. Our only 2 small issues were the pack and play we had asked if they had, was broken ( I assume the owners would have no idea about this and why would they since they probably never use it) just including it here so future renters have an idea that although one was available I wouldn't put my baby in it cause the bottom gave out often. But it wasn't an inconvenience as the master bedroom is large and there was plenty of room for him to sleep with us! Our 2nd issue again somthing that couldn't at the moment be cleared up by the owner but I'm sure was resolved shortly after our stay. As the condo association had just finished pool repairs they decided to change the pool locks, so our key to the pool did not work and we would have to hope someone would let us in anytime we went down there. ( just about any people staying in a vacation rental had this problem) so overall our experience was great and would defanitly visit again ( just Mabey when it's not so hot hahaha! )

We had three couples staying here and all had adequate privacy with a large pleasant living area. The Lanai has a great view of the ocean where we watched whales playing every day. Adequate kitchen, though a bit outdated, provided enough space to cook for a large party.

Wonderful Condo and owners. The location is perfect, the complex is one of the best in Keauhou. We have stayed in this complex 5 times before and the first to this Condo. Condo is well appointed and worked well for our family of 6. The washer and dryer broke just before we arrived and was not able to be replaced during our two week stay. It was a bit inconvenient, but those things happen and the owners were very fare in reimbursing us for the times we had to drop the laundry off in Kona for wash and fold. It all worked out fine. We love the area and this is a great place to stay.

The condo location is wonderful as this is the side of the island we love most! The condo itself is well accommodating, however, could use some updates. The lani is where we began and ended our days. It's remarkable!! There's plenty of oscillating fans to help circulate the air for those humid days and easily accommodates 6 people.
If we're blessed to visit the island again, we'd love to stay here again!
Thank you to the Shamps and all who help to make this place great!

We loved our vacation in paradise! The condo is spacious enough for our family to relax and enjoy the beautiful views and evening sunsets. We loved the high ceilings and the kitchen was stocked to enjoy our morning coffee and family dinners. Excellent location for daily adventures up and down the Kona coast. We will be back! Thank you!

We loved our nine days at the condo. The third floor view, the comfortable amenities, the extra room, the location, the pool, the beautiful landscaping and the easy communication with management all made our trip memorable and beautiful. We watched whales from the lanai, looked at the moon through the palm trees, walked to coffee and delicious dinners at the nearby shopping center and to a perfect snorkeling beach nearby in the mornings. Can't recommend this unit enough. We will definitely be back.

The directions to reach the condo and to get in are clear and easy to use. It sits overlooking the shore with a huge lanai with gorgeous sunset views. The kitchen is well appointed with cooking utensils, pots & pans, small appliances, etc. We do a lot of our own cooking and had no difficulty making anything we wanted, and the nearby supermarket had all the ingredients and a good array of poke and prepared foods as well.
The notes, tips and instructions left by the owners are helpful & clear, but the initial email speaks of using the dedicated parking space for the condo; the owners keep a car there, so just use the adjacent visitors' parking, which is abundant. We saw an air conditioning unit, but there were no instructions about its use, so use windows and ceiling fans to keep the place comfortable; in early September (2021), there was frequent afternoon clouds that made it easier to keep the lanai doors open to keep things cool.

The condo was absolutely STUNNING! You can’t ask for a closer condo to the ocean, cleaner space, modern amenities and beautiful shared space on the entire island of Hawaii. I am so glad we booked this trip as a headquarters for a surprise birthday for my mom who was staying at a local resort. She loved enjoying her birthday dinner on the balcony and now looks forward to renting the space for an entire month sometime in 2023! Will definitely be back.

Nice family get-together, perfect location and peaceful setting.
Opening the windows and letting the breeze flow was enjoyable.
Ability to use the community Bar-B-Q was great for dinners.
The third floor view and waking to the sounds of crashing waves was my highlight.
Leaving Kona in the 70s and arriving in Seattle in the 20s is a shock to the system more ways than one. We look forward to our next visit.

This condo did not disappoint--the view from the lanai was absolutely worth the booking. A short drive to the conveniences of Kona: shopping, restaurants, shave ice (One Aloha). Would absolutely book again.

This condo has a million-dollar view. You cannot beat the view you get from the lanai at this rental. The master bedroom shares the lanai and view. You can leave your sliding glass open and let the sound of the ocean lull you to sleep! There was ample room for our family with the 2 bedrooms and loft. We also really appreciated the washer/dryer in the unit and the well-appointed kitchen.
The only complaint we have would be that there was no air conditioning in the condo - this was not promised or advertised. I imagine that this is not an issue for most of the year, but we happened to be there on multiple days with 80+ degree weather that was super hot and sticky. The ceiling fans and floor-to-ceiling sliders helped, but AC would be a huge plus! Leaving the windows open, there were some critters (giant ants, regular ants, and mosquitos) that we had to deal with, but that is part of being in the tropics and the windows all had functioning screens.

As soon as I opened the door to the condo, I was blown away by how beautiful it was!!!! I ran straight out to the lanai and was astounded by the view. It was breathtaking!!!!! The condo was exceptionally clean and had everything I needed and more. Vicky was so friendly, and she answered the couple questions that I had. She was easy to get a hold of and is just a fabulous person. I cannot wait to come back again. I definitely would rent her condo again and the property grounds are beautiful. Spend time walking around the property and take it all in. The condo is close to great restaurants, grocery stores, snorkeling, beaches, and town. I highly recommend staying here!!!!!

We absolutely loved the view from this condo. Mornings, sunsets and meals on the oceanfront lanai were so enjoyable. The condo is spacious and was very comfortable for our family of 5. The kitchen was well supplied and had everything we needed to cook meals when we didn't want to eat out. We loved having beach chairs, an umbrella and cooler for trips to the beach.
