We absolutely love this place. The location is wonderful -- end unit, next to Kona golf course and on the ocean. Plus it has air conditioning which makes it very comfortable on hot steamy days.

Lots of outdoor seating. Had everything needed for cooking and days at the beach (chairs, umbrella and a small cooler in the pantry closet. Several books about visiting HI (The Big Island Revealed was very helpful and even a bit funny). Internet/TV worked well. AC units worked well to keep the condo cool). Beds and furniture comfortable. Very good washer, dryer and dishwasher. Easy access to pool, courts, volley ball and grills. Close to grocery and some restaurants (Walking distance but uphill). Quick response from management for questions we had. Note that you can hear footsteps and moving of chairs from the upstairs unit. There is not an ice maker but they did have ice trays in the freezer. Wine fridge was great bottles of water, etc. The grocery store charges for bags so bring a tote bag or check pantry closet near the kitchen for paper bags. Guest room does not have allot of space to unpack clothing. Kids did not mind but may be an issue if traveling with adults. The Surf and Racquet club is very well taken care of. Kona was a great location to stay. 1-2 hour drive other side of the island (avoid rush hour). 30 min from Kua Bay for snorkel and beach day (get there early if you don't want to park and walk far). Very little rain. Got cloudy but never seemed to make it down the mountain. Must see/do - Enjoy the condo! :) Best part of the trip was sitting on the Lani with coffee or wine and watching the waves, sunsets, manta rays, dolphins, cruise ships etc. You can enjoy the Lani with no worries of sunburn until about 3/4pm. Go to Mauna Kea visitors center on a clear day (fyi - it's cold 40 degrees colder than Kona, bring snacks and water or maybe a hot beverage), Volcano national park (drive all the way down the road of craters to the beach. It a long drive but beautiful), Snorkel captain cook, Manta Ray night snorkel. Overall a wonderful location to stay and would highly recommend.

This condo is a bit out of the way when finding it - several blogs away from the main check in. But it is worth it. It is a corner unit that is bordered by a lovely golf course on one side and the ocean on the other. The kitchen was really well stocked. Great furnishings. Beach chairs and boogie boards and other items are in the unit. The beds are not the most comfortable. And the bathrooms are not air conditioned and they get pretty warm. The bathrooms are really nice and have lots of towels. The washer/dryer units were large and held a lot of items. One issue brought to the owners attention was the TV - it disconnected from cable each day, which required an internet and cable reset daily. The unit is a bit pricey, but it is a great place to stay. The communal pool is nice and temp is good.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We enjoyed the location of this condo and the incredible view, but this condo needs some work. I should have called the day we arrived, but instead shared our concerns the day before we left. Upon our arrival both bathrooms smelled incredibly bad. I would compare it to an Outhouse smell. My husband and I put numerous kettles of hot water down both sinks and showers to try and eliminate the odor. The p-traps need be thoroughly cleaned! Awful smell. Also all screens to the outside patio did not open. We ended up only going in and out of the bedroom door, and kept the screen open since none of them worked. Needs major work. The sheets on the master bed do not fit the bed (the flat sheet came off every night). New sheets necessary. A minor fix is a drawer knob in the kitchen which came off immediately on our first use. I feel this property needs a major cleaning, the back bedroom closet needs to be organized and all the artificial plants can easily be tossed. Too crowded with stuff. Beautiful property, just needs a lot of work and major deep cleaning.
