Very clean and well appointed condo. Had everything we needed. Highlight was the Lanai which offered awesome seaviews. Went sleep every night to the sounds of waves on the rocks.

The unit is clean, spacious, and located within a well-kept complex (Sea Village) with numerous amenities available. Not much else could be wanted! Communication with the property manager was smooth and efficient, and all logistics were simple and straightforward. Highly recommended.

Unit was clean and well stocked. Location was excellent....crashing waves just below the lanai. Less than a mile from the action in downtown Kona but far away enogh to be peaceful. Exactly as expected based on listing.

Absolutely a great view and proximity to the sea.Exactly as advertised..Unfortunately there was some construction going on during our stay, but not a deal killer.Would have been nice to have a little sugar and shampoo for the first morning, but wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.A lot of stairs for folks with mobility issues.

We stayed in this apartment for 3 days and we really enjoyed our stay there. The apartment was clean and the location was great (within 10 mins drive to restaurants and stores). The ocean view on the balcony is amazing and we were able to see fishes (and beautiful sunset) right from the balcony. The room can get hot in the afternoon without AC but there will also be breeze from the ocean. I would recommend this apartment for those who are looking for a stay in Kona coast.

On vacation and was hoping for a stress free stay and that was what we had. Accommodations were clean, well stocked and ready for us to use. Comfortable beds and kitchen was well stocked for cooking our meals. Beach towels and chairs were very useful. Pool and BBQ’s were used often and made the meals enjoyable. Spent many hours on the lanai enjoying the views of the ocean and sunsets. This property fit the bill for our week long stay.

We absolutely loved our stay here!! The view is incredible and the condo is stocked with everything whether you are cooking your meals or having a beach day! The only con was no air conditioning and being on the 3rd floor made for some toasty evenings even with fans on. Overall, we would stay here again!

The property: 1) It has 3 story 4 buildings. There are two entrances. If your unit starts with 1 or 2 then take the 1st entrance. If your unit starts with 3 or 4 then take the 2nd entrance though they're connected. 2) There are two gates to beach access but it's locked and it seems it's closed. 3) The swimming pool is gated. We couldn't find the keys for the swimming pool and the gate to beach access, but it was fine. 4) No designated parking lot but we could find the spot easily. 5) It took ~10 min from the downtown to the property. No store nearby.
The Unit: 1) It is a 3dr floor full furnished 2B2B condo. No elevator. 2) No A/C. It was cool at night when we open patio door and the window in the bedrooms but it was warm at daytime though the ceiling fans are working. 3) A cockroach welcomed us the night we arrived but didn't meet it again after that. 4) We didn't cook but the kitchen was ready for it. 5) Washer and Dryer work fine 6) No OTA TV channels, no Netflex account provided 7) Enough towels 8) Beds are fine to sleep 9) The shower booth was little out dated but was fine. 10) Overall our stay was fine.

We enjoyed watching the sunset from the lanai, and listening the cashing waves every day. Don and Anne's house is conveniently located near beautiful beaches, good restaurants. The house was clean and has open space concept with lots of beautiful arts. The check in and out process is simple. Thank you.

This place exceeded our expectations in every way possible. We loved having breakfast on the lanai every morning and listening to the waves crashing every night. The condo was clean, well maintained and very spacious, and even had beach chairs, snorkels, and boogies boards for guests to use. Overall we were very happy with this place, and will always look back at our stay with fond memories.

Lovely condo right near Kona town. You could walk down there. Fabulous views and binoculars to look at it all closer. The condo had every extra thing you would need for a beach trip, there is a nice pool on the water and easy parking. Hope we can visit the Big Island again someday, would stay here again.

Killer view from the lanai. Electric awning for those hot afternoons. Spacious living room with nice furnishings. Kitchen is fabulous. (Why eat out?) Looks like recently remodeled. Tastefully decorated. Book on coffee table with great suggestions for activities and beaches. We especially enjoyed Buddha’s Cup tour. Close enough to Kona center (for us) to walk. Highly recommend.

Very nice digs! Beautifully decorated and comfortable with a patio lanai deck that is unbeatable. Great location and your recommendations for dining and entertainment were excellent. Our flight was delayed by 8 hours and the Petit's were very accommodating at the end of our stay. Highly recommended!
September 2022
We loved our stay here. The view is as incredible as everyone else has said. The property is great; the bed is comfortable. The beach chairs and umbrella and snorkel gear were fantastic. We've stayed at places that leave their junky old equipment for guests, and this place does not: it is quality stuff, and we carried it around wherever we went on the island during our stay. The only negative thing I will say is the condo was very, very hot when we were there without AC. The temps in the area were in the low 90s first week of September, and a couple nights there was almost no breeze coming from the lanai into the bedroom. We ended up sleeping in the living room where we could get at least some of the breeze, and ended up with the extra benefit of the most beautiful white noise you can imagine with the waves crashing on the shore.

Stayed at this place for 4 nights with friends. The balcony facing the ocean is the best part of this place! The rooms felt a bit small but the living room and again, the balcony more than compensated for it. The place also had all the things you’ll need for going to the beach (chairs, umbrella, cooler) or snorkelling (the gear) and lots of other stuff that I didn’t end up using like a surf board. The kitchen was well stocked and pretty clean.

This spot was absolutely perfect for myself and my family.
Location is amazing with dolphins off the balcony and beautiful sunsets.
Newly remodeled kitchen is really nice.
Lots of extras like boogie boards, chairs, noodles, etc.
Great communication from the owner and info on “inside” info on what to do and where to go.
Full five stars.

This property was just as pictured in the listing. The view was amazing and the property was very clean and had almost everything we could need. We arrived later in the evening and had picked up some frozen pizza during our grocery shopping trip. The double ovens were great to be able to cook both at the same time without worrying about burning one. We sat on the patio and ate before settling in. Having two bedrooms and two bathrooms was very nice. No waiting at this property. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of linens, including beach towels. The location was good. It is the Big Island so you do have to drive to most things but there is a shopping center within walking distance. We never made it there but it was always busy when we went by. The grounds are beautiful and the pool was very nice. There are also grills that we saw people using that overlooked the pool and ocean. The one downside to this property is that there is no A/C. When we arrived, everything was closed up and the lights were on so it was very hot. We didn't know that there was no A/C when we booked so we were looking for the thermostat only to realize there wasn't one. We opened everything up and turned all of the fans on. It was a feel like of mid-90s temps when we got there. While it helped, it never really cooled off until early morning. When going out for the day, put the shade down on the lanai to keep the sun out. It helped a little. This is the only negative thing I have to say about this property. Otherwise, it was well maintained and had everything you could need. The owner was very responsive when we called about getting into the pool. He called back shortly after I left a message. We tried our key but it wasn't working. Come to find out, you turn it the opposite way as you normally would turn a key. We watched several people fumble with this. Glad it wasn't just us. I would recommend this property but be aware that there is no A/C.

Not much to say, other than Anne and Don really get it, providing everything we want in a vacation condo. Location and amenities were perfect — we couldn’t even see any of the wires for the realistic animatronic dolphin shows just off the lanai! Seriously: Bravo! Encore, encore!

We had a great stay just after Christmas. The property is as advertised, has all the things needed for a relaxing vacation. The chairs and towels and other brach items were outstanding, because the beaches suggested in their welcome book were super. There is no AC, but the breeze was just right. Sunsets at this property make it ideal for sitting out with a class of wine. We would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay and will definitely book the unit again when we visit big island for the next time. The unit is fully-stocked, even with snorkel gears. We didn't use those since we have brought our own, but we do appreciate the thoughtfulness of the owner. The decoration is a little bit aged, however, we love the island style. The beds are super comfortable, better than most hotel beds.

Once you get used to no air conditioning it’s fine! We loved being on the ocean- such a treat! The pool was lovely and we even snorkeled right off the back yard! Dolphins swim by a couple times a week. It was very comfortable and relaxing to have a condo. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful week in your condo. The water is so close. We left the doors open so we could hear the water at night. We saw dolphins in the morning and manta rays feeding at night. It was amazing! The condo had everything we needed. It was so relaxing to sit on the lanai or enjoy the pool. Just what we needed. Can't wait to stay with you again!

Right on the ocean and close to great restaurants, grocery stores, and coffee tours. The beds were comfortable and the owners were quick to respond to any questions. There’s no air conditioning but you don’t need it with the windows open. There were plenty of beach towels and a couple of beach chairs to use. Sunset on the lanai was the best way to end the day!

This condo is incredible. Super clean, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and a great property owner with wonderful communication. The condo is directly across from the beach which makes it easy to just walk to. Lots of beach goodies in the closet to borrow too. Parking is easy as well but it is on the 3rd floor with no elevator. We didn't use the pool because we ran out of time, but it looked great, right at the ocean wall. This place is perfect and no reason to look anywhere else. Lots of restaurants and stores a short walk away!

Great location and the views can't be beat. Overlooks the water so every night was an unbelievable sunset. The place was spotless and came equipped with anything you'd want on your stay, including equipment to play in the water. No A/C but with the windows and doors open you got a nice breeze, especially in the evening. The owners were very responsive and easy to work with. It's a short walk into town and there's plenty of parking at the condo. Really, nothing bad to say at all. Would definitely stay there again.

This Kona condo is all that it was advertised to be. The view from our balcony was stunning and peaceful. Having 2 bedrooms and 2 baths was perfect. Would be great for a family to stay, other than those 3 flights of stairs. But for us it was needed after eating in town.
Condo was clean, does not have AC but the cross breeze coming thru was perfect. Even in July!!
Our family has a condo down the street, and we stayed at Sea Breeze for 3 days while ours was booked. I would most definitely stay in this unit again. Mahalo

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely condo. Spent most of out time sitting on the lanai enjoying the different shades of the days and nights.
The instruction were clear and simple, and access to the condo was without a hitch. We are within walking distances to beaches, shopping and many restaurants. Was delightfully surprised with all the amenities and accessories.
Certainly lived up to descriptions and our expectations. I am sure the next guests will as well.

This condo was everything and more.Well appointed had everything we needed including beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkel gear. The lanai over looks the ocean it almost felt like being on a cruise ship. 3 of our 7 nights we had Mantas feeding in the cove directly below, we spent hours just enjoying the view. The condo does not have AC but with all the window open and the ceiling fans going it was bearable. The location is perfect and less than a mile from the Kona waterfront shops and restaurants. Perfect spot and price point...hated to leave but we'll be back and would definitely stay here again.

We loved our seven day getaway to Kona! This property was perfect for us. We enjoyed our coffee in the mornings & Hawaii sunsets on the lanai. The location is a quick drive to delicious places to eat & shop.

Very nice condo. My husband and I, along with our two teenagers, really enjoyed our stay in your condo. The view from the lanai of the blue Pacific Ocean was limitless, we enjoyed morning breakfast and evening sunsets from that vantage point. All the amenities that were provided were terrific, all we had to do was buy some groceries and the unit was complete. Even having boogie boards, snorkel gear, and beach towels provided was greatly appreciated and surprising. We truly enjoyed our stay in Kona, part is definitely due to the wonderful home-away-from-home we stayed in. We would stay here again for sure! Thank you!

I really enjoyed this condo. It was so open and relaxing. Opening the windows and front door really allowed the breeze to cool off the condo. I thought the rocks below would be a little more accessible to look at the tide pools but its really just to look at from a distance I think. The pool and spa area were great to use after watching the sunset from the lanai, amazing views. The amenities in the condo were great for cooking, snorkeling or just relaxing at the beach. (Pans, cups, boogie boards, chairs, etc.). Thank you.

What a great condo. It is located on the third floor which means hauling luggage up 2 flights of stairs...but so worth it for that view.

My daughters and I really enjoyed our stay here on the Big Island. We went to the volcano, Hilo (twice), Waimea, horseback riding, snorkeling, church, coffee farm and always felt like we were coming home when we saw the Sea Village sign on Ali'i Drive.
This condo is comfortable with a remarkable setting overlooking the ocean. The lapping waves make for a unique and restful experience. Nearby are a variety of shops and restaurants to enjoy. The condo, on the other hand, has everything you need to buy fresh and prepare a leisurely meal on the balcony (lanai).

This is a beautiful condo with a perfect sunset viewing every night!
Everything was perfect starting with the booking (fast responses), detailed arrival instructions, very clean rooms, a kitchen perfectly outfitted, hearing the waves all the times - we enjoyed our stay from the first minute on.
As our flight on the last day departed in the evening I asked for a late check-out per SMS - the first respond came within minutes and after check with their calendar we were allowed to stay there until 6 pm - so we could still use this last day as a holiday!
Thank you so much, Don and Anne, for this great time at your lovely condo !!!!

The view was what we wanted and got. Beautiful sunsets. The place was overall just as described. The only issue we had was how warm it got at night. Mornings and afternoons were comfortable but after sunset it got very warm in there. It wasn't comfortable getting to sleep. Next time I will make sure there is an option for air conditioning.
Dave H.

The views are stellar as the pictures attest. The place is very nice inside with plenty of useful items for your use. Breakfast on the porch is a five star experience by itself!! Then the location is perfect for easy meals out in town and within 2 hours from any Big Island adventures. It is a "big island" so don't count this factor out.
Barbara F.

Such an amazing condo! It had everything we needed so we could cook dinner in or close to restaurants and shops if we wanted to go out. The lanai has incredible views. I think I spent every minute that I could sitting outside admiring the view. It is on the 3rd floor so you do have to carry your bags upstairs but it really wasn't a problem. There were several guidebooks in the condo which made it easy to plan the days activities.The condo was clean, comfortable and well appointed. I would definitely stay here again.
Lily M.

This is a perfect condo for a family. The bright open kitchen and living room with a balcony so close to the ocean makes this condo an ideal place to relax and enjoy the Hawaii breeze. The condo has everything you need to live there. The complex's BBQ area allows you to prepare a nice cookout while enjoying the beautiful ocean. Every morning I woke up to find a big cruiseline sitting in the far distance ocean. We made sure that we get home before 6:30 every day to enjoy the gorgeous sunset view right at your own balcony. We hope you enjoy this place as much as we did.

We are a group of 2 couples that stayed in unit 3316 for 9 days and absolutely loved the location and wonderful view.

We especially enjoyed all the snorkel equipment, towels and whatever else we needed for our stay.

The view of the ocean was nothing less than spectacular, and every morning and evening started and ended on the lanai. Thank you Don and Anne for the wonderful accomodations. We had an awesome experience ( this was our first time with a vacation rental), and it made our Kona trip spectacular. ~ Mahalo!

Stayed for 4 nights and throughout the length of our stay, the ocean surf was extremely rough and exciting to watch. Often the waves crashing on the retaining wall splashed over three stories high although never directly hitting any of the lanais ... fun to watch, great to catch on video. Unfortunately many of the beaches were closed to snorkeling that week as it was very unsafe to swim in. Seemed to be reasonable quiet with regard to neighbors although even if there was some noise, it would have been mostly drowned out by the sounds of the surf.
Very clean and comfortable unit, fans were effective at keeping it cool enough within the condo. Nice premium appliances in the kitchen. Found the master bed to be a bit too soft for me, although fine for my wife, so I had to sleep in the second bedroom where the mattress was definitely firmer.
Normally we wouldn't use the TV on vacation but I was specifically interested in the PGA Champions Tour event being held that week on Hawaii ... watched it for some and attended in person for some ... the cable TV is still an analog connection and the image quality was poor compared to digital. Also note that the internet performance was marginal so I couldn't use Netflix and Golf Channel Extra apps ... simple web browsing and email worked fine.
A couple of local recommendations if you stay in Kailua-Kona: (1) the new Indian restaurant (Kamana Kitchen) in town is great - had a fine lunch with an outside Kona bay view and a few days later got takeout; (2) Kona Brewing Company is always a great stop for sampling and dining; and (3) taking the Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory tour in Keauhou is highly recommended - need to make reservations in advance and usually books up early so don't just show up expecting to take the tour.
Owner communications and interactions excellent. Thanks Don!

We stayed in this condo for 6 nights, and I definitely fell in love with it. The view from the third floor lanai is unbelievable, right over the water, and we made sure to get up early each morning to watch whales and spinner dolphins leap out of the water pretty much every day! Also, you can just sit out there in the evening and watch the waves crash into the rock wall below for hours, it's pretty spectacular! This third floor condo is very quiet, and although there is no air conditioning, there are enough fans to cool the place down at night. The kitchen has everything you need to make wonderful meals for your group, and the décor is both tasteful and comfortable. There are plenty of towels for your beach days, and some snorkel equipment and boogie boards that you can use as well. One thing I HAVE to mention is the beds. The MOST comfortable beds I have ever had in a VRBO! Despite the wonderful view and the many local adventures to be had, I found myself not wanting to get up simply because I slept so well in that comfy bed! I love that the Sea Village is close enough to town that you can get there quickly, but it's far enough away from the hustle and bustle so you don't have to put up with any noise or "nightlife". The owners provided us with a lot of magazines and local guide brochures so we could plan our days. The pool is the perfect temperature, the hot tub is very relaxing after a day of hiking and snorkeling at nearby hotspots, and there are plenty of barbecues to go around for everyone! So clean and welcoming, and there is even free wifi so you can share your awesome trip with your friends at home! I will definitely book this condo again, mahalo for the wonderful stay!

Hawaii in itself is Paradise. And my accommodations only complimented it more. I really enjoyed the peaceful lanai that couldn't be more perfect if I scripted it myself. The sound of the ocean was nothing short of heaven. And the position of this condo gave me cherished moments of serenity. It was difficult for my travel partner not to wake me with her exuberance over the dolphins, but it was easy to sleep in with the level of comfort I experienced. Centrally located it was convenient to take leisurely strolls to eat, shop, sightsee and beachcomb. The condo had everything I needed along with a lot extra. Being from the NW a great cup of coffee is a must. To add just another slice of heaven there is a coffee shop on the property. I will return to Kona, and this island perfect condo. Thank You

Sitting on the Lanai listening to the ocean and watching the dolphins out front is the best. Sunsets not to be missed. Easy to take a peaceful walk from this location (or jog if you must). Great central location, easy walk into Kona, lots of dining in area. The information book had great suggestions from dining to snorkeling sites and more. Kayaking to the Captain Cook Memorial and hiking in the Volcano Park are two great trips. Beautiful accommodations, the condo had plenty of room for us, clean and comfortable. Spent lots of time by the pool reading. I would recommend this to anyone. Its good for families, friends, a romantic getaway. And it is very affordable. I love the Aloha spirit found in this unit. Thank you for a beautiful experience. I will be back! Mahalo

Our family of three adults enjoyed and appreciated our stay at the Petite's condo. The location was right on the ocean and very close to Kialua-Kona; only a half mile from the shops and restaurants. We watched beautiful sunsets, breaching whales, pods of dolphin and some amazing high surf from the lanai. The complex included a serene ocean-side pool and hot tub as well as clean and convenient BBQ's. We appreciated the clean and upscale decor as well as the very well appointed kitchen. The condo included internet, w/d, beach towels, snorkel equipment for two and boogie boards. The only sound we heard at night was the crashing of the waves. These were the very things we needed to take full advantage of the beach and focus on vacationing. Also, the Petite's were quick to respond when we emailed with questions. We would definitely return to this lovely condo.

My wife and I stayed at Sea Village condos to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. The unit has a great top level view with a nice deck where we could watch spinner dolphins and look down on colorful sea life swimming around the rocks and corral. While there are plenty of restaurants in the area we tended to pick up fresh fish and vegetables at local farmers markets and make use of the barbecues in the grassy area near the pool. We found the condo to be clean and nicely laid out for our stay. It was just my wife and I there, but I would say that that the place would be very comfortable for 4 people. The unit is well located near Kailua-Kona with access to local beaches and other attractions. Being there just one month before the Ironman competition we were interested to see the racers training in the area and acclimating to the weather and ocean temperature conditions. It would be fun to come back the second weekend in October to see the big event!
