This was a great place to stay. The bed and the living quarters were very comfortable. The sunsets from the pool were the most special experience. Beach chairs and towels were convenient. All in all this was more affordable and close to everything one may need in a visit.

Good location, easy parking. Would have liked to have some cooking oil supplied in the kitchen but the grocery stores aren’t too far away by car.

Nice location in Kona. The unit itself is close to the road but it was quiet enough not to be bothersome. Beautiful oceanfront pool. We appreciated the owner/manager accommodating us with an early check in. The unit itself could use some refreshing in terms of decor and lighting, such as bedside lamps on both sides of the bed and something besides the ceiling light in the main area.

Our trip to the Big Island was short this time around but the vacation rental was amazing. It was exactly what we needed for the few days we were there and the location was very convenient. The whole process from check in to check out was easy and was communicated with us well!

Having the ac on helped drown out the outside traffic noise. But overall great stay and we were comfortable. Thank you.

Unit is very dated. There is one bed and a sofa sleeper. I can’t imagine how 4 people could stay here. There is only one little sofa inside which seats 2. Also one small 5 drawer dresser so you couldn’t unpack more than two. The fridge is very rusty and stained in outside. The lids to the pots are greasy. After taking off my shoes and walking on the floor my feet were dirty. Unit is right on the main road so very noisy at night with cars, motorcycles and trucks. Porch light is burned out so difficult to operate lock box in the dark.

The property was awesome! I had one small issue with a spider, could happen anywhere! Make sure that the Raid is stocked lol. Location was very nice, close to the coffee shop. Hostess was very helpful. Make sure to take in the view of the pool. Also, a step stool for the microwave would be nice. We are shortl!

The advertisement is a bit misleading. The complex has a small rocky beach that is oceanfront in the very back. This unit is in the front of the complex and on the main road, so there is alot of traffic noise and you could feel the big subwoofers when they drove by. The unit is old and in need of updating. Refridgerator is rusty. Really, it has a bunch of rust on it. On the positives, it is a short 1 mile walk to the downtown area close to everyting, the bed was comfy and the ac worked well.

The apartment was very well equipped. There was beach/pool/snorkel equipment as well as pool towels. The kitchen had enough room for everything and a table that was just perfect for the four of us. Our child really enjoyed the toys and books.We had enough room for our suitcases and even with the couch bed it never seemed to crowded. The pool was awesome and had some shade to sit and watch the kids.
The street could be a little noisy at times but at night it was just fine.

Great rental for 2 people. Pool was beautiful! Less tha 1/2 mile to magic sands and wave pool. Coffee shop is next door. We could hear the road, but we’re just not the types that bothers. Disabled mother had no issues accessing the unit from parking. Contact person was wonderful and made check in so easy!

Overall experience was great, but up stairs could have been a little more quite. allot of noise above 6 in the morning. I also did not use the bed, just the couch to sleep in. Mahalo! until next time...

Lovely pool and commons area, but the condo is dark, dank and musty. It is 20 feet from busy Ali’i Drive, so it is quite noisy. Not what we expected from a VRBO rental, ie: rusty fridge, smelly rug and no bar of soap in the bathroom.

Older property with very thin walls. Wasn’t clear that unit barely 10 feet from the 24/7 traffic on major road. That was disappointing. Adequate place but like most places here, overpriced for what you get. Bed is very comfortable and owner is so very responsive!!

The condo is perfect. Negatives are it is on the street and the lanai is very small.

Our family and I had a few rentals at Kona Shores. It was a great location, not overly crowded, and our host was very friendly making sure we had everything we needed even during a busy holiday weekend. Would definitely recommend!

We only stayed 1 night; so for our purposes - the unit was ideal. A short walk from the unit was the oceanfront pool. This was pretty impressive. The entire complex was well maintained and secure. The unit itself was well stocked and roomy enough for the 4 of us for the night. Make sure you book an excursion to see the Manta Rays at night. It was the highlight of our 3 week Hawaiian vacation.

Right on a loud, busy road. Couldn't access property for hours- sat outside in the dark; hot, tired, and hungry.

The place is at a great location for visiting in the Kailua-Kona area. Everything is close by. The pool is spectacular. The place is OK for 2 people, but for more than 2, it would be crowded. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The condo was clean, comfortable, and close to everything. It was especially nice to have a few beach chairs and a cooler to use for an evening sunset swim at the beach!

Communicating with Tiffany was very efficient. Laundromat was very clean. So were the bbq area and swimming pool area. Our unit is very clean. AC work perfect. Had everything we needed for cooking, going to the beach and games for everyone to enjoy. Bed was very comfortable and so were the sofa pull out. Price was very affordable and I even have my cousin who plans on renting this unit. Guest parking is close to the pavilion and pool. At the pavilion there are benches to sit on. Bathroom, and a bbq fire pit and a sink with a nice counter. Then further towards the pool is a court area for smoking and relaxing. Then lastly is the pool area. Beautiful view of the ocean. Go and book a stay here and see all the beautiful sunset and sunrise . I know I will when I return to Hawaii .

Check in was very simple. Read owner manual helps you find what you'll need. Quiet and had out own assigned parking spot. AC worked well also. Will be back again.

The proximity to the main roads made it very convenient for our final night and early morning trip to the airport.

Cute place. Added necessaties was a plus (hygiene products, cleaning products, food supplies) a rice cooker would have been good. Need more guest parking

The host Tiffany was amazing. We managed to lock ourselves out of the condo and she came to our rescue. She went above and beyond with communication and help and she was lovely!

The pictures don't do it justice. This place is really cute and very clean. Everything you need is there, from beach towels and toys to cooking items and sunscreen. If you forgot something - it's there. Parking is steps away from the door. The pool isn't anything fancy, but it's nice and is right on the shore, so you can swim and watch the sunset.
