What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Sea Village earns consistently strong praise for its oceanfront setting and relaxed, family‑friendly vibe. Guests love starting and ending the day on the lanai watching sunsets, spinner dolphins and (in season) whales, with the sound of waves as constant background. The location just south of downtown Kona is a sweet spot: close enough to walk or take a short drive to restaurants, shops, luau venues and beaches, yet far enough from the busiest stretch to feel peaceful. Grounds are well kept, with a scenic pool, hot tub and an impeccably maintained BBQ/picnic courtyard that fosters a friendly, communal feel. The on‑site Green Flash Coffee cart is a popular bonus.

Units are individually owned, but many are described as clean, comfortable and thoughtfully stocked—full kitchens (often with better‑than‑average cookware/knives), in‑unit laundry, beach gear (chairs, coolers, snorkel sets, boogie boards) and plenty of towels. Several condos have been recently updated; others are older but functional. A recurring theme is climate control: some units have split or portable A/C (sometimes just in the living room or primary bedroom), while many rely on trade winds, ceiling and floor fans. Most guests were comfortable with breezes and fans, but a notable minority found bedrooms warm, especially on hot, still afternoons. Expect walk‑ups—there’s no elevator—so higher‑floor views come with stairs; parking is free and easy. The shoreline is lava rock (no direct sand), but popular beaches like Magic Sands and Kahaluʻu are a short drive, and some guests snorkel off the rocks when seas are calm.

Less‑glowing feedback centers on the variability across units. A small share report dated decor, dusty fans or vents, fogged sliders/screens, or appliance hiccups (e.g., fridge/ice maker, dishwasher), plus occasional ants or roaches typical of the tropics; property managers and hosts are generally responsive and quick to resolve issues. Complex‑wide maintenance (pool/hot tub closures, water shutoffs) or nearby construction has intermittently affected stays. Noise can travel: bedrooms often face the parking/stairwell, upstairs footsteps carry, and the surf can be loud (a perk to many). Pool rules skew family‑friendly and it can get busy. To match expectations, check each listing for A/C details, floor level, recent updates and beach gear, and be prepared for stairs. Overall, reviewers highlight excellent value, unbeatable ocean views, a great Kona base and many say they would—and do—return.

Spectacular unobstructed ocean view with great sunsets! The condo was clean and had everything you could need for a stay in Hawaii. All you need to do is land, get your rental car, stop by Costco and Safeway and enjoy your vacation!

October 2025

Great time! Just be prepared for how hot Kona is. The fans provided at the property were sufficient to keep us comfortable.

This is a very nice, spacious condo with an incredible lanai directly overlooking the ocean. We were able to see dolphins and a manta ray from it, and enjoyed eating meals there. Parking is convenient being close to the stairs leading to the unit. Although we didn’t use them, there was a wide variety of beach gear. I especially appreciated that cleaning supplies were readily available, as well as a washer and dryer. I would have easily given the unit 5 stars except that there were a few things in the kitchen that I was unhappy with. The good news is that they could be easily addressed and resolved. The only other challenge was the remotes for the TV - something that should have been intuitive, but was not. The sound of the ocean is quite loud in the living room which made it hard to hear the TV. It was a small price to pay for the benefits of the proximity. The unit was well maintained and comfortable. The pool was very nice, and everyone seemed to enjoy being in it. If you turn left or right, there are many fun adventures outside your door.

Arrival was easy. It was close to downtown Kona but not walking distance. The unit was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need! Response to questions or issues was super quick! The view from the deck was amazing and the unit was quiet. The beds we’re comfortable and the closets had beach items available for use. Would definitely recommend if you’re visiting Kona!

Our first trip to the Big Island… location is on the main drive which gave us options to walk or drive to beaches, restaurants and shopping. Condo was clean and as shown on listing plus owner very responsive to answer questions. The beach chairs, snorkel gear and umbrella were an added perk! We would definitely stay here again!

October 2025

I gave a 4 star on description because it didn’t show or mention the very loud floor A/C units located in the living room and bedrooms. The condo is clean however, there is a cockroach problem. They sprayed while we were there which made it worse. Other than that, the view was amazing from the Lanai and it is within 2 miles of restaurants.

October 2025

The unit worked perfectly for our trip to Kona. Joann was great host quickly responding to questions. Bed was comfortable and greatly appreciated the fans. Kitchen had a the items we needed. Just bring your food spices and good to go. Property and pool area we great and the bbq's got our use.

October 2025

We stayed in two different places this trip and while we were able to deal with stuff at the time—lots of cockroaches (expect some but not that many), issues with the codes, no AC, poorly stocked kitchen (felt more like a hotel trying to cook right off the bat), we enjoyed the area and grounds but compared to the other place, it was lacking. The communication was super quick and we got a new access code quickly. They were responsive to our ideas but we wouldn’t be quick to go back without knowing things had been addressed. The view is absolutely perfect though, which was definitely a major saving grace! They did have chairs and coolers which were super helpful too.

A wonderful ocean front condo just minutes from everything Kailua-Kona has to offer. The condo is in pristine condition with all of the amenities of home! Whether it was morning coffee watching the waves roll ashore or enjoying a magnificent sunset, the deck is perfectly situated. The view alone is a 10.

October 2025

Sitting on the lanai overlooking the ocean was awesome! Hearing the waves while we slept instantly put us in vacation mode and lolled us into peaceful dreams. Corrinna had great communication before & during our stay. She was very helpful with any inquiries we had and quick response time. We did not need the AC. Fans & screens open were enough. Dishwasher needs updating. Front tiles of the shower need replacing but overall a really clean unit. We would have no hesitation to return!

The first morning we were there from the beautiful lanai we saw spinning dolphins, which was a wonderful greeting! They were saying welcome to Hawaii!!! The condo was clean and accessible to many activities around Kona. Robin supplied everything we could’ve ever needed and communicated with us in detail about the check-in process before we got there. We enjoyed our stay very much and can’t wait to visit the island again someday! Thank you so much, Robin!!!

Great place to stay. Had tons of beach supplies and everything you could need to have a good time without the hassle of renting or buying your own. Kitchen was also stocked with everything you need. The view is incredible, on the sunset side of the island so you get to watch the sunset over the ocean every night.

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

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!

August 2025

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).
Erin H.
August 2025

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

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).
