Beautiful condo! Super close to the ocean. We loved hearing the waves all day and night. Wondeful sunsets from the lanai! Holly had everything we could ever need to use.

We enjoyed our stay with the accommodations being as advertised. Large living room, kitchen and lanai areas. Our unit was clean but the common areas of the building (elevator, etc.) need better attention.

We have been lucky to stay in this unit last year and this year. It is neat and clean, but the view and roar of the ocean is the best part.

We loved the view of this property, but the photos represented a larger, neater impression. None of the four grills worked properly and smoked so bad that if we sat on our lanai we’d have to come in. One of the things we look forward to is grilling by the ocean and eating in. The grill knobs just spun, so you couldn’t adjust heat and the grill surface was rusted. We already bought proteins for grilling, and unfortunately everything we grilled got incinerated. We won’t stay here again.

We stayed in the same condo in 2017, and when we came back in 2025, we went there again.Originally, we had planned for the trip in 2024, but we had to cancel that trip due to health concerns. We had a great time in 2025.From the balcony, you can see surfers at the nearby beach. However, if you want to photograph the surfers from the condo, you will need a longer lens. I captured a lot of surfer pictures that I need to reduce to a more manageable lot.Evidently the condo had A/C installed since we were there in 2017, but we didn't need it.The main bedroom opens up to the ocean, and you can use the screen door and hear the ocean lapping at night.The wifi in the unit was great. We did not watch TV, so I can't say what the channel selection the condo had.There were plenty of plugs, and at the desk and in the bedrooms there were power strips with extra plugs and USB chargers. I didn't use the USB chargers at the condo since I always carry my own, but they were available.When you check-in, it helps if is daylight, since the second entrance which goes to parking under the building is sort of hidden by bushes. The first entrance is easier to spot, but IMHO, you want to park under the building and not come to a hot car if you park outside in the sun.There were 3 luggage carts in the lobby to allow you to move suitcases in fewer trips. There is an elevator located in the middle of the complex so you can avoid the stairs. There are stairs near the unit.

This was the perfect spot for our first trip to the big island. We wanted to be oceanfront and the lanai of this property made it hard to tear ourselves away from the waves and surfers. Easy access to downtown Kailua-Kona, the great snorkeling spots down south (Captain Cook and 2-Step) and a reasonable drive (45 min) to the best sand beaches up north. Nicely updated and fully furnished unit, including AC (though we never needed it). The owner was easy to contact and very responsive. Highly recommend this condo.

Overall great experience. Air conditioning is great touch if you are around the place during the hotter afternoons! Great ocean front view is the best part, hard to beat!

While the inside of the unit is a bit dated, it is a great value and the view is amazing. There were only 2 of us so we had a lot of extra room. Check-in process was super easy and we appreciated the late check-out.

We had a fantastic stay! The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and VERY well-stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Holly was a wonderful host, quick to respond to any questions and thoughtful in providing local recommendations. The location was perfect, offering the sound of the ocean waves (not other guests). We watched dolphin & whales and the best sunsets from the balcony. The location to downtown Kona was a short 5-10 minute Drive. And we walked to the market across the street & for Fish tacos 1/4 block away. We truly appreciated the attention to detail, the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the snacks & coffee that made us feel at home. We will absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Kona!

The condo was lovely and the location was perfect. We spent a lot of time on the lanai because the view was just incredible. Would stay at this unit again.

Clean condo and responsive managers. Amazing view, and right over a beach and great tide pools. Totally agree with the request to do dishes and take out garbage daily to avoid bugs but felt ripped off that the management company didn’t supply enough garbage bags or dishwasher pods for the whole stay and we had to buy a full box of each to accommodate the last 4 nights.

Goodness. What a lovely stay we had. Would stay again. Everything we could possibly need was there. Picked up groceries. Did some meals there. Played board games at the table. Went to sleep with the sound of the waves. Da Poke Shack is on property and offered a great local lunch option and better pork than what we had at the luau. Plenty of parking spaces and ease of getting to other tourist attractions.

Very well equipped with everything you need. Very comfortable place to hang out, only thing I would say is the bed is on the hard side, everything is newer and well maintained.

Beautiful condo in old building. Fully renovated and current except NO AC. You can open up to vent out some of the heat and humidity but a simple upgrade of a mini split air conditioner would make this place a perfect 10.

Two weeks went by too fast! Everything was clean, in great order, and comfortable. Everything you might need had been thought of. Plenty of parking, elevator, fully equipped unit, large lanai , TV, comfortable beds. Beautiful sunsets every day! Called Mike about something and he was great and accommodating. Don't hesitate to stay and enjoy this condo. BTW. Found another great restaurant called Sunset Kai Launai. South of the condo at the shopping center. Incredible view, fantastic Mai Tai's and the best ribs ever.

Enjoyed the water view, and the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks. We spent most mornings with a cup of tea on the lanai watching the sky lighten and the day begin. Check in and out was just so very easy. Nice choice of spices and coffee available. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was the very, very slow traffic going north into town or trying to get to the north part of the island. It was incredibly slow. Unfortunately, we had several things planed in town and to the north. However, if you are going to hang around the condo or explore to the south I recommend this condo. It is a sweet spot.

All 5 of us were very pleased with out short stay. Large enough deck for all of us to hang out and enjoy coffee in the morning, and beautiful sunsets each evening. Kitchen was well stocked and owner was very resonsive with a few quick questions we had.

If you want your own private balcony with a stunning view of the ocean, and a place to enjoy a magical sunset, look no further! You will be able to sleep with the best white noise on the planet! This home has a great bed and a great view! Loved it!

Unit was lovely ; kitchen well appointed & adequately fitted out. Bed comfortable.
Enjoyed the pool area & proximity to ocean
Alii Drive is extremely noisy
Difficulty finding building 3 for us & 6 for our friends. Signage is not lit at night & is recessed from street. Individual unit #s are not adequately marked from parking lot. either.
At another time, the Night site manager did not answer his phone for couple who had locked themselves out of condo above us. Then, They used our phone to call Vacasa ‘S 1 800 line who were able to provide entrance code .

This condo has the best location. Easy to every where. The condo however could use a little repair, and updating. I spent a month staying here and I just looked past the condo issues and just loving the area.

Really beautiful property. The views are amazing. Woke every morning to the sunrise. Slept every night with the doors to the ocean open. Very safe area and super beautiful. You can't swim in the water from house but the tide pools are so cool. Could use coffee filters and more toilet paper for longer rentals. Definitely need a bath mat for shower. I'd book this again in a minute. Very well maintained. A process on check in. Thanks for the memories!

Very nice, spacious accomodations though missing a few things. The master bedroom defintely needs a small dresser; not everything can be hung on hangers. Also no pot holders or tongs available. Insulated glasses would be really appreciated as the coasters do not absorb any of the moisture from the glasses. Great views, spacious, well stocked kitchen, and good quality bathroom and bedroom linens.

Outstanding location, bring earplugs if crashing waves bother you, saw turtles, dolphins and whales from the lanai, parking easy.

The unit is spacious...large, very comfy living area with a dining nook for two, opening up onto a lanai with a spectacular ocean view. Adjacent decently equipped kitchen with a large fridge, oven, dishwasher and microwave. Stackable wasjet/dryer was great. The large comfy bedroom is on the streetside which is noisy by day, but no real problem at night. Bathroom/shower/tub is not updated, but adequate. Outstanding communication with manager including his huge email file with useful tips. The unit is a bit old, not updated, but a great value. We enjoyed it.

Great views here and sounds of the waves all day. 2d bedroom on street side - so no views and sometimes street noise. Great location close to downtown Kona — convenient parking - enjoyed our stay.

It was very clean and equipped. It is “ocean front” meaning ‘on the ocean’ but it is not ‘ocean view.’ Clarification would be appreciated. We were a bit disappointed.

The property is a little dated but you can’t beat the location. The lanai is huge and we saw a bunch of whales during our stay. Included free parking was nice too.

3rd time in this building but first time in this unit. Wonderfully upgraded, central location to the elevator, best view of the beach and surfers. It was the best stocked kitchen I’ve encountered with everything you can think of, including a full spice rack. So amazing !

Had a great stay, though there was an issue they made it right.The place had an amazing location with a small convenience store across the street, poke and tacos nearby, and some of the best surfing and sunset views you can find! One note is that only the master bedroom and living room have in-wall A/C, the rest have ceiling fans but if you sleep hot you may want the master.All was great, would stay here again

Great condo with spectacular ocean views. Condo was clean and well furnished. The family enjoyed our 10 days in paradise. It was relaxing waking up to the sound of gentle waves crashing onto the lava rocks. Evening sunsets were gorgeous.
