Overall, a very pleasant visit to this property. Superb views of the ocean. Very quiet. Nicely appointed, especially the kitchen. Lots of supplies to enhance ones experience. Comfortable for my family and I would recommend it. The manta ray snorkel experience is only a 5 min drive away and would recommend.Only ran into a couple of glitches. Given wrong directions to the unit and an incorrect parking space number by the management company, which delayed our entrance to the unit. They were very responsive to questions. Also, there is some type of mechanical unit in the primary bedroom closet that kicks in for just a few seconds every hour or two. It may wake you up if you're a light sleeper. Would still stay here again.

Overall a very nice unit. New furniture on the lanai, not yet shown in the photos, was perfect and of course the sunset views were fantastic. It was great being able to move a couple chairs out beyond the tiled section to see more of the sky during sunset but be aware there is no barrier separating this extended space from the next unit. Shouldn't be a problem most of the time but our neighbors for much of the week had a small child with a penchant for invading our privacy, once even pressing his face up against the screen door while we were inside and shouting "hello!" Fortunately they kept him contained most of the time.
The unit itself was plenty large, especially for just two guests, but still felt a bit cramped because much of the furniture is a little too large. The king bed is too close to the dresser. The big, heavy dining room chairs took some effort to move, but if we left them pulled out a bit they blocked access to the raised kitchen counter, which otherwise served great as a charging station and staging area for sunglasses, water bottles and such.
The parking is a decent hike from the unit. Good for privacy but no so great when ferrying luggage or it's raining.
So no major issues, just lots of minor annoyances that kept it from seeming perfect. But the bed was comfortable, the kitchen and bathrooms were fine, and of course the view speaks for itself. And the full size stacked washer/dryer were quite possibly the nicest things in the entire place.

Loved staying here for a week on Hawai’i! Cannot beat the views from the condo. Loved getting to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean every night. Gorgeous grounds and friendly neighborhood. Good location for a jumping off point every morning.

All around great stay at the condo. 1st off you cant beat the location or the views. Property was well stocked with most everything needed. Actually probably a little too stocked. Closets and pantries could use some cleaning out. Alot of multiple items etc that could use being cleaned out. Had no problems with bugs during my stay. Overall the property could use a good cleaning and refreshing. AC's worked great. All appliances worked fine. In my opinion some attention to detail as far as cleaning and getting rid of clutter could really help bring this up to top notch standards. Updating towels and bedding would also help alot. Loved our feral cat we called boots that visited us everyday. Neighbors were friendly and quiet. Parking was easy. Overall a great vacation.

Overall disappointed in our 12 day stay here. On the plus side... the A/C and wifi work well, there’s plenty of towels and a newer washer / dryer. The complex pool and tennis courts are great. The cons... the place is more dingy than shown in the photos and it needs a deep clean. There are many ant traps throughout the unit, even on the kitchen counters. As soon as we arrived I contacted Knutson about the excessive ant traps and they explained that the ant traps are preventative. We did see some ants, mainly in the kitchen and one bedroom, but not as many as I feared. The patio furniture and bedsheets need to be replaced. New people moved into the unit above ours a few days into our stay. They were heavy walkers and stomped around late at night and early in the morning, ruining our sleep. I spoke to them twice in person and contacted Knutson who apologized for the issue, but it didn’t change. We enjoyed the island but would not stay here again.

Beautiful location. Some maintenance issues need to be addressed: 1. Ice maker not working. 2. Bedroom #2: Fan & light not working. Took 2 days to resolve. Very little room to hang clothes in closet. A bag of dirty rags and lots of "stuff" in closet, a bowl of dried and loose white powder in closet. We threw it away. Cabinet full of several sets of ragged sheets. No room to put clothes. 3. When Knutson was called to fix a bathroom window screen, the repairman did not fix the problem & did something totally unrelated then left the unit unsecured. Sliding door wide open. Not acceptable! Knutson did send another vendor the next day & problem resolved. 3. Toilet in Bathroom 1 not flushing correctly. 4. Kitchen: more dishes needed. Cookie sheets rusted, flatware mismatched. No potholders.

This condo location is spectacular. The views from the lanai are incredible. Even though it rained most of our stay. We’ll be back. Just not in February. 😊 We highly recommend this spot for vacation.

We stayed here seven nights. The layout is great for a small family and the ocean views and sound couldn't be better. The rental was well stocked and had everything needed. Because this is the very end unit, it is probably the most private in the complex. The complex itself is very quiet and clean. We would definitely stay here again. My only minor critisism would be the toilets are a bit finicky to flush. Communication with the management was simple and their directions/ rules were easy to follow.

We loved this rental property! It was a quite corner unit right on the ocean. We enjoyed sunset dinners in the lanai almost every night. And it was a short walk from grocery and places to eat and shop.

This is an obvious older resort, but it is very well maintained! The view is spectacular, and the beds were comfortable. Great price for a two bedroom with an amazing view! Unit is air conditioned (being from TX- this was very important to us). We did not use any other resort amenities but did see lots of "kids" around and especially at the tennis courts. We are a family of 4 with young adult children. We sat on the patio every single night to enjoy the sun set. Very peaceful. Would stay here again.

Can’t think of anything negative to say! The condo was so perfect that we had a hard time tearing ourselves away to go elsewhere. Comfortable beds and furnishings, well equipped kitchen (except for a cheese grater which they now have😉) and a sunset every night!

Stunning views from our condo very relaxing private patio area with views from two sides awesome location. Central location for Kona Waves were mega fun to watch. We saw some Humpback Whales from our patio. Loved the quiet of the condo. Met some nice guests and felt very at home and comfortable. I could love here easily. Want to come back. My sister has rented this condo six times this was my first visit. We brought my Mom here for her 85th and she loved staying in 5-104.

We really love this property. Furniture, cleaning, community and best of all is sunset. This unit location is the best. Sitting in the corner and right at the edge of the water, such a beautiful place. Love to come back again in 2 year.

Liked the complex in general. Disappointed in the unit itself mainly because of the cleanliness of the unit. Numerous things we all agreed should be addressed.(I have rentals as well). No mattress pads-unsanitary, pillows badly stained and flattened (they should be replaced annually), pillows had no liners/protectors, again unsanitary. Linens in poor condition, thin, frayed, mismatched. Twin beds should be replaced with standard twins that can be joined together if desired. Those beds do not accommodate an adult comfortably, more like a juvenile twin. Bathroom floor tile, dirty. Towels old, only a couple washcloths. Only 2 beach towels for a unit that sleeps 4. Carpet stains, throw rugs dirty. 2 of the beach chairs old, stained & rusty. I dropped something that rolled under the dresser - yuck, all kinds of treasures under there. Waher/dryer area, lots of dryer dust. Vent may be clogged or broken. Several grocery items left in the unit from previous tenant. I have never experienced that in any vacation rental before, the refrigerators are totally empty on arrival and void of any odor. That refrigerator smelled awful when we arrived and I thank the mngt for their prompt response in re-cleaning the unit. Would not stay or recommend that unit.

As advertised and no issues. Would recommend. A few minor Things to be aware of:
1) The shower wasn’t very clean. 2) I have no issues starting the laundry on check out day, but there should be enough detergent provided to do 1 or 2 loads. 3) the property and complex are very quiet, which is great. However, if you have people staying above you, you hear everything.

This place was really incredible. Huge private patio that we didn't want to leave. The kitchen was well-stocked and the layout was perfect for 4 of us. I think this was probably the best location in the whole complex.

We enjoyed breakfast overlooking the ocean every morning. The location was convenient to Kona and lots of restaurants and shops. Plenty of room for us. There was a cooler, pool noodles, snorkeling gear and a boogie board which was nice. Pool area was great and the grounds are beautiful.

The oceanfront location of this property is amazing and the view from the patio is fantastic. It was great to have the outdoor lounge chairs and the dining table. The linens and towels could be updated. The one bathroom sink was broken. Overall the property was Fine as we spent the majority of our time outside.
