Check in and check out were very smooth. Host Robin stopped by in person to ensure that twin beds were converted to Queen which was much appreciated. Ceiling fan in second bedroom only had one speed, very slow. Condo was clean, grounds were beautiful and very well cared for. It was great for what we needed.

We loved sitting on the lanai having our morning coffee. We saw dolphins, colorful fish, surfers (we had some big waves during our stay), swimmers, boats and even a cruise ship. Throw in your binoculars, we used ours everyday we were there. Also, the bedroom air conditioners kept us nice and cool at night.

Super clean and well maintained unit. Air conditioning throughout that kept the whole condo very comfortable. Amazing views from the lanai. Excellent beach umbrellas included.

Excellent condo on the ground floor. Beautifully finished and well maintained. Air conditioning worked excellently, keeping the unit at a very comfortable temperature. Great views of Kona and spinner dolphins from the lanai.

Perfectly located unit in Kona in the heart of Hawaii’s western shore. Great view from the lanai overlooking the coastline. We actually saw some dolphins in the morning! Host was incredibly responsive to our needs and got back to us right away. Had an amazing stay on the big island!

We very much enjoyed our stay. The condo was near perfect. It is well equipped, both inside (kitchen, bathrooms, etc) and for the beach. Beach chairs, umbrella, boogie board, goggles, bucket and shovels, coolers!! You can’t beat the location. The lanai is amazing. We saw dolphins playing in the bay and a manta ray feeding at night along the rock wall. The only down side is no AC. It got very hot in the afternoons. There are several fans available for use, but it was still uncomfortably hot.

It was a wonderful and relaxing stay! The condo was clean, air conditioned, and it is in a very central location. The covered deck had a beautiful view of the ocean where we could watch surfers, see dolphins and watch the waves. The owners were very accommodating and was quick to answer emails. We would definitely stay here again!

This was a perfect break from resort stays in Maui and Oahu. It is large with plenty of room for family of five. Lanai and kitchen with open living room are spacious. It was great to have a washer and dryer and kitchen to do laundry and take a break from eating out. The condo was well stocked with basics. It was great they had beach towels and beach chairs. We were excited to use set of snorkel equipment but it was broken which was a bummer. The AC works great and kept the condo cool. Great location to downtown and other restaurants and supermarkets. Sunsets on the lanai were beautiful!

Wonderful apartment and location. Beautifully furnished and very comfortable. We were able to see manta rays on multiple nights from our lanai (balcony).

We enjoyed our stay. This location is very convenient. We found a good snorkeling beach 10 min south and manta tours 15 min south. We loved how close it was to things we wanted to do in the area. The complex is ocean front and we enjoyed the sunset views at the pool. The pool and hot tub were great. The complex has very nice common areas and landscaping. The condo has lots of extras such as a closet full of beach equipment - chairs, sand toys, snorkeling. We appreciated all the hooks to hang swimsuits and towels. The beds and pillows were comfortable. It was well equipped kitchen for cooking meals. Everything was very clean when we arrived and we had good communication with the manager. There were a few things that could be improved. It was 81 degrees in the unit when we arrived and took a whole day to cool to down. The air conditioning is on a 4 hour timer and so you have to keep turning it back on. If you turn it off the condo gets hot quickly. This was an annoyance in the night as I appreciated the white noise and was awoken by it stopping, plus I like to sleep in a cool room. The second bedroom without a/c was not usable so my kids slept in the living room to stay cool. The living room is quite large so there was room for them to pull the mattresses in and sleep there. The sofa bed in the living room has a sign that it’s broken. We appreciated the extra fans in the complex. They were helpful to stay cool.

This place was perfect for us. Loved the Hawaiian decor. Even though on first floor, the ocean front lanai is still above the rocks and seawall, just gorgeous view of the ocean. Kitchen well stocked. A/C and fans kept us cool enough. Lots of beach accessories available to use. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Courtney!

This was our third stay at this property. Being located right on the waterfront, it has an amazing ocean view...somehow even better than the pictures. No peek-a-boo view here! It has sweeping views of the bay. Sitting on the lanai, you can watch boats, canoes, cruise ships, the pool, and, of course, the sunset.The complex has very nice, well-maintained common areas, and is in a great location. . The unit itself was very clean and well-stocked, including beach gear. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable enough, but we opted to use the Murphy bed in the living room, which also was quite comfortable.Teresa, the host, was very friendly! Check-in was straightforward. There is a lockbox for first-time entry. Tip: you will need to enter the combo to both open and close the lockbox....not a problem. This unit is on the 3rd floor, and there is no elevator, which could be an issue for some.Overall, great stay!

Beautiful. wonderfully quiet place to stay with ocean front balcony. We loved the poolarea and made use of the gorgeous Weber grills available in the center of the resort. We LOVED the air conditioning to be able to sleep at night. It was everything we could have asked for. Beautiful sunsets from the balcony.

The property is located within 5 minutes of downtown Kona, and you could walk there as parking is limited and pricey. The property was extremely clean upon arrival and had everything we needed. The view from the porch is amazing, and you can see the sunset. Before arrival, the mgmt team communicated everything we needed to gain access and quickly answered any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again.

This condo has everything you will need for a relaxing vacation, starting with the unobstructed ocean view.We were pleased with the well stocked kitchen. Its perfect for a large group as well as a couple.There was everything we needed for a day at the beach, coolers, chairs, umbrella, beach towels etc.The owner was always prompt in answering any inquiries I had.

Quiet, third-floor condo with comfortable lanai, well-stocked kitchen, and gorgeous views! There were many highlights to our stay at the Sea Village in Kona, Hawaii. Location: Sea Village is located right on the main street, Ali'i Drive, in Kona. It is only 22 minutes from Kona International Airport, 18 minutes from Costco, and less than three from the shops and restaurants of downtown Kona. The condo has easy and plentiful parking right next to the stairs (there isn't an elevator, so be prepared for two flights to reach the room). It's also within ten minutes drive from two different farmer's markets and Kahalu'u Beach Park (easy snorkeling). The unit itself was tastefully appointed, with lots of seating options. It is also well-equipped for adventure, with multiple snorkel sets (fins, masks, and snorkels), a cooler, umbrella, and beach towels. We started most days by eating breakfast outside. The complex has four sparkling barbecues and we never had to wait for a barbecue to cook dinner. We ate dinner on the lanai and then had a perfect view of the sunset. Bonus: we were there for the fourth of July and had the perfect view of the Kona fireworks over the bay!The only downside of this beautiful condo was the temperature. While it has a wall AC unit in the Living Room, the bedroom (located on the opposite end) never got below eighty degrees (despite strategic fan placements). We slept on the murphy bed in the living room (which only got down to 75 degrees).

The condo is situated in a great location if you have a rental car or don't mind taking Uber. Sunsets from the unit are amazing. The kitchen and living room area are comfortable. The bed is ok. Because the building is older, the noise level of other guests coming and going is significant. The front door is challenging to close upon exiting. The pool is nice. There is daytime construction. Something to be aware of. Overall I enjoyed my stay
July 2025
Overall acceptable interior with an exceptional view.The furnishings were definitely dated, but our vacation didn’t revolve around the unit so it didn’t disappoint us too much.It was super helpful that there were extras outside for the beach ( coolers, umbrellas, snorkels,Goggles, and even a boogie board)!Also helpful was a shelf filled with “extras” that past tenants had left behind containing items like suntan lotion, skincare, bug spray, band aids, and cleaning products we might need throughout our stay.On the down side, things definitely could have been cleaner. The windows had fingerprints and the tracks were filled with bugs (gnats). Strangely enough I noticed this because I had just cleaned them in my home prior to leaving.Overall, it was nice stay. At no fault of the owner, and just by the “luck of the draw”, we were on the bottom floor. The people above us had a toddler who didn’t much like to go to bed and screamed as he ran from one end of the house to the other EVERY night at about 10 pm (his bed time I presume.We did have a wonderful trip and would stay again If we can back. Thank you!!

Our stay here was fantastic. The condo is in a great location for exploring the Big Island. It was comfortable and the most well-equipped vacation rental we’ve experienced (coolers were much appreciated along with beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, and even some snorkeling gear was available, although we did not use it). We appreciated the option of A/C, but were pleasantly surprised we didn’t feel we needed it except for 1 of our 8 nights when the temp was the hottest and most humid of our early July stay. We preferred the windows open and fans on instead. The proximity to the water is rare compared to other destinations and provided the BEST ocean wave sounds. We enjoyed the laid-back feel of the property. The courtyard is beautifully landscaped and the gas grills were great. The kitchen is well-equipped too. Finally, we loved the coffee shop that is at the front of the property. They have the best 100% Kona coffee and we’re officially spoiled on that. Thank you to the hosts for the great hospitality.

This view was worth every penny! We spent so much time out on our lanai right over the rock wall and then the blue beautiful Pacific Ocean. We so enjoyed watching the outriggers, boats on excursions, surfers, paddle-boarders and even a cruise ship! The A/C in the main living area works great- really cooled down that part of the unit. The fans do a pretty good job of keeping the bedroom cool. The bed - OMG- it is soooo comfy! We slept so good! Bathroom was small but efficient. Pool and hot tub area nice size. We really enjoyed our stay and would visit again! Mahalo!

We loved this condo! The lanai was perfect and so relaxing, we even got to watch the 4th of July fireworks from there! Everything we needed in the kitchen including a blender! Bathrooms were clean and towels were so soft! Beds were so comfortable and welcoming after long travel. Full beach gear including boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, cooler, and snorkel gear! Books and puzzles as well as DVDs and guide books to use. Jon was very easy to communicate with and we loved our stay. The property was quiet and the pool was perfect! We're hoping next time we can come to big island we can stay here again!

Great location. Lovely unit. Incredible views from balcony. Literally the ocean was 50 yards in front of us. Coffee in the morning was quiet and a pod of dolphins regularly swam by and entertained. Also appreciated the coffee grinder as we are Kona coffee fans. We were there on the 4th of July...and viewed fireworks from our lanai. Kitchen was well supplied, ate/cooked a couple times full meals and dined while outside viewing the ocean. Our host Holly kept in touch, was most accommodating and timely access to unit on our day of arrival was effortless. Would return!

The property has a lovely oceanfront view. It was clean with updated furniture and kitchen. The kitchen had all I needed. There were lots of items for the beach to use such as chairs, boogy board, etc.There unfortunately was a very strong, unpleasant chemical smell in the unit that persisted despite fans and cross ventilation. Perhaps a strong antiseptic cleaning fluid or bug spray was used throughout. One suggestion is to replace the scratched Teflon-type pans in the kitchen.Overall, the unit was great.

We chose this condo due to its location, view and features. The condo was conveniently located, making it easy to get to various attractions on Kona. Loved the view from the balcony and with the open floor plan you could enjoy it from the kitchen and living room as well. Having two bedrooms and two baths was great although the shower in the main hall bath was small. Communication from the time of booking until check-out was good. It would have been nice if toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) would have been provided. All in all, it was a great place to stay!

Condo needs major maintenance inside and out, uncomfortably hot due to inefficiency of AC set up. View was fantastic but couldn’t stay in the condo due to workers, literally, hanging into our lanai to work on the building, hammering and banging all day. No water, off and on, during our stay. Ice maker out of order, with a note on the fridge (who knows for how long!) Bare bones, inadequate suppliesI, paint peeling from the ceiling, I could go on and on, extremely disappointed, sorry to say. I’ve never written a negative review. I should have read previous reviews more closely.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the condo. While it’s not a new complex, it is well maintained and the grounds are well kept. Everything we needed was there - well stocked kitchen, beach and pool equipment, and AC when it got a bit warm inside. The lanai has a wonderful ocean view with amazing sunsets every night. Close to great restaurants and shopping.

Everything exceeded expectations. Can’t beat the view and the location. And the condo is well stocked with gear, games, and travel guides. When the water is calm, there is nice snorkeling right below the balcony. At least for us, no AC, no problem. Just keep the windows open and ceiling fans running. Three flights of stairs, no problem. It makes for a great view and helps work off all the great food up and down Ali’i Dr. And the owners are just a text or email away to answer any questions.

Previous occupants forgot to run the dishwasher but was no big deal as her appliances were very easy to use. Loved having a washer and drier available. The sweeper was a great thing to have available. Could not quite figure out the tv in the bedroom as the instructions left did not work for us. Surprised that her personal Netflix did not work for us. But made due with the live stream. We overpacked so it was a bit difficult going up three flights of stairs, but well worth it once you got up there. We enjoyed the space and would recommend. She gave recommendations as to what to do on the Island. We did them all! What a great vacation!

Also the Bose soundbar let us listen to our favorite music. Pool, BBQs and grounds were well taken care of. Also loved having the Green Flash right next door for an easy morning meal. This place was very convenient to every place we wanted to visit on the island. Highly recommend!!
