Any time you had lights on in the evening because of the gaps in the window screens hundreds of knats flew into the condo. Several times they flew into my husband coffee and food . Very annoying . They would get all over the kitchen and bathroom counters . I would never stay in this condo again . This is my fault but I didn’t realize it didn’t have air conditioning. We found fans in the closets but I spent over an hour cleaning the the fans so they were usable and were not flinging dirt and grime around the rooms.

The view from this condo was amazing!! The sunsets were amazing to sit on the patio and watch over the ocean. The view was unbeatable. However, this condo is very outdated and probably has not been updated for about 20 years. Things were rusted and falling apart. They had old vertical plastic blinds that would fall off easy. And since there’s no air condition, and you had to leave the window open, you could hear them rattling All night. There is a very faint smell of cigarette smoke. The latches on the sliding glass doors are rusted from the seawater. The patio furniture was old and one of the legs broke off because it was rusted so bad. Had kind of a weird floor plan with the master completely open to the living area with only very paper thin sliding paper doors, which was very strange. However, the living spot space is very large and has plenty of room. Loved the overall room in this condo. Two bathrooms. Very convenient. Living room was very large. However once again, the furniture is exceptionally outdated. Very old wicker furniture. Very uncomfortable. It’s not somewhere you would wanna hang out. We just spent our time either away or on the back patio. I think the condo overall is a great size and exceptionally great location especially a corner unit with a large patio and outside dining area. With unbeatable views. However, it’s exceptionally outdated and needs to be updated horribly.

What a great heavenly spot for an amazing vacation by the oceanfront. Loved the view, the location, nature, the ocean, the snorkeling spots, and sandy beaches. Will do my very best to make it back here!

My husband and I recently stayed from 6/3-6/13, celebrating our 30th anniversary. Everything about the property was amazing! Stocked with all of the necessary essentials, plus the extras. Having the cooler was perfect to be able to pack lunches for our long days exploring the island. Every morning, having breakfast and coffee on the lanai and sunset dinner views was magical. This was our first trip to the Big Island, but won't be our last. We will definitely stay here again. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and well maintained. Being in the last building, it was very quiet and peaceful. Plenty of extra linens, towels and beach towels. There were lots of items for the beach, chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear. So many amazing experiences and memories made. This was the perfect place for us, highly recommend!

Well appointed 2Bd/2Bath with unbeatable, amazing views! Kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils and kitchen appliances to prepare meals. Beds were comfortable, and Queen bed enjoyed the sounds of ocean waves. No A/C but provided several floor fans that helped on warmer nights. If you don't mind leaving all the bedroom doors open, the breezes travel through throughout the unit creating a very pleasant temperature in the evenings. Owners had beach chairs, beach towels, and boogie boards for outings at the nearby beaches. Closest swimmable location is Kahalu'u beach about 2 mins up the road. Complex has 3 on-site tennis courts (2 adapted for pickleball) and the large pool was refreshing. The grounds are immaculately kept.Oceanfront location was perfect, distance (walkable) to nearby shopping center, and easy travel to south Kona sight-seeing. Only issue was no screen on the bedroom window due to "the building settling", so we couldn't keep it open w/o bugs entering the room. Overall it wasn't a big issue but one KKSRC should resolve. We would definitely stay here again for the oceanfront views! Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed the condo and the grounds at the club. The location was quiet and away from the hustle of Kona but close enough to amenities and activities. One thing we weren’t expecting was the lack of air conditioning in the unit. For the most part it was no issue as there were lots of fans and a beautiful breeze, but it did get quite humid. The condo is also showing its age quite a bit with rickety screens and doors. We loved it though and lived out on the lanai. We’d happily go back.

Great location, close to Kailua-Kona. Easy walk to multiple beaches and close to shopping, groceries, coffee, and restaurants. Nice setting right on the water. Good space for a couple, but probably small for a larger group. It was a bit dated and tired but was clean and well supplied. The views of the sunsets and the sounds of the waves were wonderful.

Overall loved this property. Location was excellent. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery store, on a beach with great tide pool exploring—but also not right in the middle of Kona/tourist congestion. We saw yellow tang, starfish, sea urchins (lots! Beware!) and even a Hawaiian monk seal on the beach outside the townhouse. It was a perfect spot for our family of 4 (kids ages 5 and 8). The grounds of the complex are beautiful and the pool was a short walk. It’s an excellent pool for small kids, with a 1 ft deep area. The house seemed adequately accommodated in the kitchen and there were boogie boards and beach chairs. Only a little glitch in our stay—the planned exterminator coming for their quarterly spray, but we ended up heading to Hilo that day to visit the Volcanos, so all worked out. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful, well appointed and clean condo. This condo is in a beautiful, private complex with amazing views of the ocean from the large lanai. The condo is less than a mile from the grocery store and several restaurants, and we were only 5 minutes from the Keauhou Bay, where many charters are located. The condo had beach chairs, towels, and cooler for guest use. We loved the air conditioning and the washer/dryer. We would definitely stay here again!

Stunning oceanfront views and the sound of the waves！
It was a very nice stay. We wanted an oceanfront in this complex; there were almost no properties available for 2 nights, and we were glad to have found one! The rooms are clean with no rough sand, as shoes worn outside are not allowed. We brought our own slippers. It was late may, but if you shut off the bedroom and air conditioned it for an hour or so, it was comfortable all night long, even with all the ceiling fans turned off when you went to bed. We would definitely stay there again.

very nice condo. I was very please to have much nicer furniture on lanei than in the Knutson site. Very nice breeze through both bedrooms. Well appointed. Disappointed that although there were lots and lots of tv stations, could not get currents stations with news, sports and shows. local mgr could not help when contacted. We hope to stay there again next year! should fix the kitchen faucet that sprays water when using the flex spout line. could use more supplies ie, toilet paper, soap, etc. Great spot and I recommend it to others!

Truly a wonderful stay in Hawaii. This place is all about the location! Beautiful sunsets every day. The grounds are gorgeous. The condo was very clean. Could use some updating and the twin beds are fine for kids, but not great for adults due to old box springs. The price was great for this amazing location.

We had an excellent stay at this condo. It is compact, but perfect for the 3 of us. There was heaving wave action while we were there. It was fun to have the waves crashing up to almost 10 feet above the wall. Location to shopping and the beach is within minutes. However our timing was off and the closest beach was closed due to coral spawning. It is about 15 mins into Kona. Minutes to snorkeling trips for Manta Rays and other locations.The kitchen was well stocked with pretty much anything you could want for cooking.The grounds are beautiful with several historical sites that are very interesting. We did not use the pool or tennis courts, so no comment.

Absolutely beautiful location, literally a few steps to ocean, complete with sunsets, turtles, fish, ocean breezes. The location was close to Kealakekua Bay, one of our favorites, & shopping up the hill. We used the tennis courts, pool, all in great condition.The unit is totally furnished with everything you need from beach towels, chairs to a well equipped kitchen for cooking meals vs eating out. Thank you Sally for your townhouse #5!We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & hope to return.

Home included everything you might need for a Hawaiian vacation: closet full of chairs, boogie boards, cooler, beach bags, snorkel gear; washer and dryer with detergent/softener; comfortable beds; quiet area (except one rude visitor who held a loud business call outside everyone’s open windows at 6:30am); fully stocked kitchen with nice appliances (even the coffee grinder for those fresh Kona beans). Location was good for many water activities (Manta rays, Keahakekua Bay, Hounaunau Bay, Kahalu’u Bay). As no AC, slightly warm in afternoons during our May visit, but perfect sleeping at night with open windows and ocean sounds. Check in unusual as you must meet property managers at unit, but otherwise typical and responsive to questions. Would stay again!

The property is beautiful. we had one issue with the second bedroom, although there were two large closets in the bedroom they were both locked as they were designated for owners. So no place to hang up clothes in that bedroom. There were several good options for the owners to designate for their use, as example, the bathroom had ample storage space under the sink that could have been used to store towels, etc and used the large linen closet as the owners private space, and left at leastONE of the large closets open for renters. I was very inconvenient as we had to disrupt the other guests in the master bedroom to use their closet.

Reviewer Comments:
The air conditioning system is terrible. Cannot sit on the lanai with AC on inside because it vents directly onto the lanai making it feel like a blast furnace. I suggest you go there yourself to see what I mean. In addition, the AC unit in the loft/master bedroom is terribly loud making it unusable when trying to sleep. Again, go there yourself. If I was making decisions at your company I would no longer offer this property for rent. I believe this reflects poorly on your business. I simply cannot see anyone renting here not being very disappointed with the AC system. Certainly would not consider renting the property again.

The space was as described. The beds were comfortable, and the house was clean. Plenty of beach towels for use at the pool and beach. Loved having a washing machine and dryer. There were extra fans available for use as there was no air conditioning. We left the windows open to cool things down, however, the main bedroom is next to the parking lot, so leaving windows open overnight is quite noisy when people come in late and talk in the parking lot. Other than that, the property has a lot of amenities and is convenient to access.

The ground floor Lanai is so wonderful to watch sunsets and morning coffee. The view is fantastic. This condo was super clean, nicely located on beautiful grounds, and had well stocked kitchen, towels and linens. Washing Machine a plus. Perfectly located to visit the island north and south. The big Island does have a lot of driving :) There is a little upstairs noise with people clomping around if someone is in the unit above, but it will only bother you if you like to sleep in. We were anxious to get our day going on this beautiful island. We had a small issue that we contacted the management company about and response, and resolution was quick. The master bedrooms shoji doors do not afford a lot of privacy in the way of sound so keep that in mind if that is important to you. I will not hesitate to recommend this condo and have already done so.

Overall, very positive experience. One debit is cookware. Pots and pans are worn aluminum. In this day and age where people are concerned about the impact of microplastics in food container products, Teflon coatings and aluminum, some inexpensive stainless pans and pots would be a welcome addition.

Easy parking directly in front of stairs to building. There are three flights of stairs so if you have walking restrictions you may want to consider another rental. The 2 bedroom and 2 full bath set up was very spacious. Beautiful views of a lush landscape from the screened in porch. The community has a pool and a nice walking trail. There is a grocery store, movie theater and restaurants and bars within about a mile each way walk which was a nice surprise and enjoyed.

We had a wonderful stay in this condo. The kitchen is very well stocked and surprised us with the spices and seasonings available along with all the cookware and dishes. We were also so pleased to see all the beach chairs, towels and snorkeling equipment. This is not listed in the property description but should be as we wouldn’t have packed our own beach towels. The screened in lanai is so nice and the condo has a very nice secluded feel to it. Upon arrival, we did notice that there were a few things that were broken. The property managers had reached out to us to see how everything was and we reported the broken items They were very attentive and offered to have someone come out to fix. We declined as it wasn’t Imperative . Property grounds are immaculate as well. We had a family reunion and had rented out several other condos in this complex. I feel that ours was the best stocked as far as kitchen and amenities. Highly recommend
