This condo was perfect & accurately described how it was across the street from a snorkeling beach... and lanai/pool looked out to the beach/ocean too. I also appreciated how quiet the area was, felt local & not touristry-even though many of us were most likely vacationing. Also, close distance to grocery, restaurants, etc. Bonus, the property aslo had plenty of beach towels, bodyboards & watersocks that we usedmore. I'd recommend & return in a heartbeat.

Excellent condo on the top floor overlooking Kahalu'u beach. Condo has all the beach and snorkeling gear you need. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking essentials. Lanai is great for meals, sunsets, and relaxation. Wonderful pool and hot tub to enjoy after a long day exploring this amazing island. Hosts Rachel and Jason were very responsive to any questions or needs we had. A heads up for older folks like us, no elevator, just three flights of stairs. Stayed two weeks, very much enjoyed our stay here and would return.

We loved being able to walk to the snorkeling beach in 2 minutes for fantastic fish, a turtle, and even a reef shark (who had no interest in the people— a very safe shark!). Parking was easy, laundry facilities in the unit, a very easy kitchen, comfortable beds, etc.

Loved the proximity to snorkeling and surfing, property was very well maintained, easy parking, adorable decor, comfy beds. Perfect view of ocean from balcony. Great to let adult children go explore while we could relax and enjoy Only drawback for some families may be the stairs only access to 3rd floor.

Our kids enjoyed both playing in the outdoor pool and snorkeling at the beach across the street. Great location, and we saw a number of geckos around the property, which was a nice surprise.

I stayed with my niece and her husband and daughter and my 35 yr old daughter. Thelocation was great, my daughter went snorkeling across the street nearly every day and sometimes twice a day.The pool was great to hang outrun and was perfect for a 5yer old who was learning to swim.The condo was well stocked with glassware, dishes, cooking utensils etc. Towels and sheets were of good quality.Having bech gear there and ready for us was a realm plus. It was a great trip for us.

I stayed here with my family of six and it was a great place to be! We’ve been to the Big Island many times and South of Kona is a convenient location. The condo was immaculate and beautiful. The property owner and manager were both so easy to communicate with and very responsive. View from the lanai was gorgeous. Kitchen was well-stocked. Bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

This condo is as advertised, if not nicer in person. Great space for two couples to share but have privacy too. Deck views and pool were so nice. On site parking, near local shopping plaza and across from a snorkelling bay. Wonderful stay.

We have really enjoyed our stay. The condo is so well equipped with everything, one of the best snorcheling spot is just across the road and shopping centre with a great sports bar 3 minutes by car. What else you need for a perfect vacations?

Snorkeling is our top reason for this trip, and it was wonderful to stroll across the street to snorkel at one of the top places on the island. When it was closed (morning clean up of previous night's storm), we could walk back and re-check an hour later. Sooo convenient.We also enjoyed the grill, hot tub and pool.We did load up at Walmart (skip the produce) but more convenient, and in the opposite direction of traffic is the Houkeau shopping center 3 minutes away.No restaurants really nearby except a tavern at Houkeau so we enjoyed grilling and eating out on our balcony.Wonderful stay!

We absolutely loved this condo this was the 3rd island and 3rd condo we stayed in so glad it was our last one otherwise we would have been so disappointed in the others. The views were spectacular. Beach was a 2 minute walk. The condo was spotlessly clean and very very comfortable. If I am lucky to go back DEFINITELY staying here again

Stayed a month in this comfortably furnished quiet condo. Master suite and 2nd bedroom are at opposite ends. Plenty of beach gear and nice kitchen. Unit and property is well maintained. Property Manager Britt is efficient and easy to contact. It was a perfect place to stay a month and host visiting friends.

We returned again to the condo just south on Ali’s Dr, which makes it convenient if you want to go into town, but much quieter out of all of the hubbub. Directly across the street from one of the best snorkeling areas the side of the island it’s a beautiful location for your Hawaiian getaway. The condo, as always is in great condition, clean, and convenient for access to all of your vacation fun.

We had a nice long weekend here and would love to come back for an extended stay sometime. It's just across the road from our favorite snorkel spot. Sadly a high surf warning closed that beach for 2 days, but we enjoyed the pool and other nearby beaches. It was only a 2-hr drive to catch the latest eruption, so we were able to drive down there and back one evening. The condo is spotless and has everything you need. The views from the lanai, kitchen and main bedroom are beautiful, so you won't want to go out for meals. Chad was excellent with communication and sent out detailed instructions and lots of ideas for activities in the area.We also made great use of the fish and invertebrate identification guides. Wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended! The photos don't do it justice as the high ceilings really make it extra spacious.

Location is great with beautiful snorkeling right across the street. Surfing lessons right next door. Do not buy snorkel gear. Bring some alcohol swaps and clean whatever you want to use in the huge cache of snorkel gear and we left a nice boogie board behind. Highly recommend you go to Costco straight from the airport as it’s between the airport and the house. The amenities and cleanliness of this place are outstanding and the management is quick to reply to text. Really helpful staff. Hilo is about 1.5 to 2 hour drive but while there goto Carl Smith beach and swim with turtles. The pool and barbecue are great and we cooked several nights. The Apuna is a good Sandy beach about a 50 minute drive. Magics is a good Barb and restaurant about a mile from the house. Again the management of this property is top notch.

Ben spared no expense in the updates made to his home. Everything is absolutely first class. Too many amenities to list them all. Ben quickly responds to all messages and even let us check in a little early. I’ve snorkeled in many areas of Hawaii, and I have to rate Kahalu’u Beach as my #1 favorite place, which is located across the street. The bay is large and shallow, so the visibility was great with the fish and turtles just 3 to 4 feet away. Entry is easy enough for small children, with two lifeguard stations actively watching. We have only great things to say about our stay. Everything was just the best, we only wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks for everything, Ben!

This unit was well thought out, well equipped and the hosts were very easy to work with. We appreciated its proximity to Kahalu'u Bay and South Kona. The unit was nicely decorated and has a fantastic view to the bay. Our kids enjoyed the pool and the geckos that frequent the grounds. Many thanks to the hosts for sharing a dream spot with us!

This property has an excellent location and pool/hot tub amenities. Due to the high surf on several days we took advantage of the pool. The lanai was great and awesome views of the ocean. One item of concern was the air conditioning. We paid 20 per night during the booking, however the air conditioning was unable to cool the unit under 80 degrees Fahrenheit. We followed all of the directions but the velocity and temperature of the air flowing coming out was not going to cool the unit. We wish we could have stopped paying for the air conditioner since it was not cooling the unit.

We had so much fun in this cosy 2 bed 2 bath condo with all the amenities. 1/2 block to the best snorkel beach, with a very clean pool overlooking the beach. A private lanai with a view of the ocean,beach, and

Much to like about this property. Location is excellent: across the road from beach for snorkeling and swimming, not far from shopping center with grocery and drug store. But several miles into downtown. Area generally quiet despite being close to busy Ali'i Drive, Parking always available, but a squeeze for larger vehicles. Unit in prime corner location with nice view of pool and beach. Self closing screen entry door a pain if your arms are full. Unit was very clean on the inside. Plenty of large, high quality towels. Lots of hangers, but too much of closets taken up by owner's maintenance items or locked cabinetry. Beds had comfortable mattresses and climate-appropriate bedding. Plenty of kitchen towels, utensils, flat-wear, and dishes. Lots of functional beach gear in bin on patio - masks & snorkels, chairs, boogy boards - nice-size cooler, too. A few observations on the down-side. Exhaust fan in master ensuite roared like a semi-truck and would be an annoyance to the neighbors -- was only used during the daytime. No kitchen pantry or other dry storage -- all cupboards are full of kitchen ware. RO system at the kitchen sink did not work. Living room furniture is large and crowds the area, same with the patio table and chairs. The unit is smaller than made to appear in the on-line photos. Overall we were more than satisfied with this rental and would definitely return again.

Property is as described, located at a good location with easy access to beaches, restaurants. Condo is clean with sufficient amenities. We have a small issue with the microwave oven and the property manager on site (Britney) went beyond and had it replaced the next day (ie. on a Sunday). We highly recommend the property if you need a safe and clean place to unwind after long days of activities.

Great place other than one issue.Only major downside was having to reset the AC timer every 2.5 hours at night. I feel so sleep deprived. The house would turn into a sauna as soon as the AC timed out. And took an hour to cool down again. It made for very long uncomfortable nights.
