The sunset views are incredible! Beach front access to one of the best snorkeling beaches in America. The condo was fully equipped with everything we needed including snorkeling gear. Checking in was a bit of a challenge. Our code wasn’t working. The owner did answer right away and helped us with the process. Checking in instructions and a last minute “security deposit “ was confusing. Pool and hot tub were very nice! Would stay here again and again

The condo was stocked with tons of gear for the daily trips around the big island. The condo was clean and had nice amenities. The manager was quick to respond and help fix issues quickly. The bed and pillows need a bit of an updating, but noone seems to mind since the activities kept us tired. The owners give you a brief summary of many amazing places, but you still need to do some research. The condo is situation just of the street from a great snorkeling spot. Harbor, restaurants, grocery are up the street. We will return if able.

Condo was lovely & very clean. It took many phone calls & many door codes before we were given the correct code, but other than that, everything was great.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay here. The condo was very clean, comfortable, and very well equipped with amenities & supplies. Chad was very detailed & responsive in his communications with us. We took his recommendation re: manta ray snorkeling. Amazing! It was the highlight of our trip!Unfortunately, the snorkeling beach across the street was closed during our stay due to restoration work.

The location across from the beach area and view while relaxing on the balcony was just what we needed. It is a three floor walk up to be clear. Nevertheless, you get a great feel for life on the island at this location.

![Beach Villas at Kahaluu "Surf and Swim" Condo]()
Never received check in instructions so had to contact Danielle from the airport to get them. AC not working so my husband spent 2 hours on a sunday fixing it instead of enjoying vacation. Meanwhile, i called and texted Danielle multiple times and was ignored for over 24 hours. AC was the top reason for choosing this condo so very disheartening to not have it with no response. A day later we found out the washer wasnt working. Yet another majn reason for choosing the condo. Finally heard from Danielle and was told someone would come 2 days later to look at washer. Was told washer couldnt be fixed so had to buy extra beach and bath towels and had dirty clothes instead of clean going to next island. Place not super clean. Hair dryer didnt work. We are NOT complainers or hard to please but i woujd NOT recommend this condo. Was told communication was due to a new "system" but yet contact called me back at the airport?? Was given a small refund for hassle but was denied a reasonable refund for all of the hqssle. I just dont want anyone else to have same experience so renter beware!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It is truly right across the street from a great snorkeling spot. Within close proximity to other Kona sights. The condo was clean and well stocked with all you need including beach towels, chairs, snorkeling gear, and much more. Kitchen is well appointed with everything you need as well.

My family and I enjoyed our time at this condo. It was clean, had everything we needed and was in a great location. Neighborhood was quiet and right across the road from an amazing snorkeling spot. Gail provided extras for the beach including boogie boards, beach chairs, a cooler, pool noodles and snorkel gear. The view from the lanai is great and the kids enjoyed the pool. We were super comfortable and wished we could have stayed longer. I wouldnt hesistate to book this place again.

The place was very clean and has everything you could possibly need from cooking utensils, towels and linens to beach supplies. The location is great! Close to food, shopping, activities and best of all the beach and snorkeling cove across the street!! Ben is so welcoming and helpful. It was a great stay! Highly recommend this place and will stay here again the next time we visit!!!

We loved this place. Very good layout for a family, with a snorkeling beach JUST across the street. Such a great location. Everything worked, everything was clean, the kitchen was actually well-stocked (they all say that, but you never really know…). And as a bonus- beach chairs, coolers, umbrellas, etc. All the stuff you want but you can’t bring it on the plane. Just a nice place to stay while touring the big island.

This was a perfect place for our family of four to spend a week exploring the big island. We loved the view from the patio, the pool, having great snorkeling right across the street, and plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was clean and well stocked. The location was great- close to Kona town but in a more residential area. We lucked out and got to see actual lava flow at Volcanoes park, we snorkeled with Manta Rays, enjoyed a luau and a helicopter ride from Hilo in addition to great beach time.

The property was a great fit for our family. We traveled with an infant, a 6 yr old and 3 adults. The pool was great for everyone and beach was across the street.

Rachel and Jason have created a spectacular space with an exception view of one of the best snorkeling areas on the big island. The condo is in a quiet neighborhood, convenient distance to Kona or to 2 Step and easy to get the highway to Kīlauea. The condo is well equipped in the kitchen and also with things you might want for the beach. The bed was extremely comfortable. 5 Stars! Will be my choice of where to stay for my next trip to Kona.

Loved the location, awesome house! Our family of 4 (teen kids) loved the place - our son was out surfing every day and we could watch from the lanai - perfect!! Loved all the “extras” in the house, grilled a bunch & kitchen had everything. 5 minutes or less to a good grocery store & central location to explore the Big Island. Ben was super responsive and great to work with. Highly recommend!!!

Beautiful spot and tons of amenities! The abundance of snorkel gear allowed us all to find gear that fit. Having Kahalu’u across the street meant daily snorkel opportunities.

Absolutely loved our stay! We loved the location, comfortable accommodations, and we especially loved relaxing on the lanai after a busy day to watch the sunset into the ocean every night. Our tween & teens loved the snorkeling across the street and the infinity pool in the later afternoon. Our entire stay was perfect!Mahalo for our wonderful stay & vacation!

Such a great place! Cara was an excellent host and easy to communicate with. The location right across the street from a fantastic snorkeling spot with gorgeous sunset views from the lanai can’t be beat. Condo was clean and spacious and had everything we needed for a wonderful family vacation. Would definitely rent again!

This is truly a five star review. The house was right across the street from excellent snorkeling and surfing. The house was one of the most well equipped and clean properties we’ve rented. The host was super friendly and helpful. It was a perfect Hawaii house for our family.

Communication was excellent right away from the time of the booking. The unit is well maintained and includes many essential and non-essential items that enhanced our experience (e.g., full kitchen and accessories, towels and water shoes, washer/dryer with detergent, filtered water, cooler and beach chairs, etc.). The location offered a wonderful view of the beach and ocean as well as easy access to restaurants, shops, and groceries nearby. The beach across the street was enjoyable for snorkeling and sunbathing and we took advantage of private surf lessons conveniently being offered (for a fee) just steps away from the condo. The pool area is a relaxing place to cool down and enjoy some more ocean views. Overall, my family of 4 (with 2 children ages 19 and 17) enjoyed our visit very much!

We absolutely loved this beautiful condo and its location. The condo was right across the street from snorkeling and surfing, and it was well equipped and clean. The view from the lanai was gorgeous and peaceful. Lawrence was very responsive to communication when needed. It was very difficult to leave, and would definelty stay here again.

We loved our stay - the location couldn't have been more perfect. Our host was attentive while giving us complete privacy; available when needed but never intrusive. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook elaborate meals, and we appreciated the thoughtful welcome gifts of chocolate, wine, and fresh avocados. The grill was a nice touch, too.The best part is just how close to the ocean we were. Just steps from the front door, there's a consistent surf break and one of the island's best snorkeling spots. The house and bedrooms were very comfortable and clean, and we were provided with all the beach essentials for our adventures. We took advantage of the outdoor shower and laundry access. This is one of my favorite vacation rentals. 10/10, would do again.

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.

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.

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.
