This condo is in the perfect location, especially if you are not planning to spend all of your time downtown Kona. The views are amazing, the people are friendly and the location is laid back and quiet.
The owner of the condo was amazing and allowed our last day on the island to be exactly what we needed (thank you Joshua)!
The added amenities allowed us to have chairs, coolers, bags and many other things to use while heading to the beach.
The condo is spacious and was exactly what we were looking for.
We will definitely book this condo again for any future travel to the Big Island!

We had a great stay at Josh’s condo. We enjoyed the “homey” feeling, the location was great and view was beautiful. The restaurant across the street was tasty, especially for breakfast and coffee at the Shack and there are many beaches within a few minute drive. Additionally, downtown Kona was only about 10-12 mins. Be aware that the beach across the street is not there in late February/early March - we didn’t realize the beach was gone for months out of the year, but thought it was ”magic” where the tide would make the beach appear/disappear based on time of day not year. We spoke to residents of the village who noted it is usually gone January - mid/late March. Some other pros included: fast communication with Josh, comfortable master bed, nice amenities at the building including pool, hot tub, parking spot, sauna and grills. A couple cons were both bathrooms needing updating, the hot water not lasting very long (ie, barely through 2 adults showering), dirty dishes in the cabinets, many of the pans needing to be replaced (non-stick coating is flaking and basically gone in center of a few), and our infant son not being able to go in the pool because of a “no swim diaper” rule, which we were aware of prior to the trip.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. The property was as advertised, clean, everything worked well, host was helpful and communicative. Pool and hot tub were both good, and never too crowded.
One tiny issue - Google maps directions weren't quite right. The complex has two driveways, and the parking is not connected. Google directs you to the southern driveway, but you need to turn into the northern driveway, which Google maps doesn't seem to know about. When coming from North, it will say "Take the next turn" - which works (because you hit the northern driveway before the southern) but we came from south, turned too soon, and got confused our first time.

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. Nice pool area and balcony to enjoy the outdoors. A great set up in using the BBQ. Josh went above and beyond in answering any questions to assist with the enjoyment of our stay. We would recommend this property.

The unit is comfortable and has everything you need. The really big TV made my husband happy. There's one soft bed and one firmer bed.The downside isthe beach out front gets very crowded and has fairly big waves. Not great for swimming. But the unit is only about 20 minutes south of Kua Beach which was fantastic and only about five minutes north of another beach that has good snorkeling. Overall we had a very nice stay.

My husband and I stayed in this condo with our 2 kids for 12 nights and loved every minute of our stay. It was well-appointed with everything we needed, the beds were very comfortable, and as other reviewers have said, the views from the lanai of the ocean and the island were breathtaking and even better than expected. The pool/grill/pool table areas were very clean and we enjoyed using all of them frequently. There was a large sectional in the living room, which was different than what was pictured when we booked our stay, and it was perfect for one of our boys to use as a bed. The surf at Magic Sands Beach was very high during our stay, making it unsafe for our kids to go in the water at this beach, but the sunsets from the beach (and the lanai) were magical. We would definitely stay in this condo again!

Condo was clean, big and in an excellent location for our surfing visit with a nine year old granddaughter. However, an after dark arrival after 2 days of travel brought confusion and a need to talk with the owner as did some other needs regarding pool access, parking and schedule changes. Even though manager / owner was mainland based, his immediate and helpful responses made our stay functionally great and of even more importance - with an extreme sense of comfort in all aspects.

Josh's place had everything we needed. Prime location, comfortable beds, spacious lanai with ocean view, full kitchen. Even had beach equipment to use (umbrella, boggie boards, beach mats, chairs, etc). Easy check in/out. Host was responsive within a hour.

This is a wonderful place to stay. It is comfortable and homey and clean with lots of modern appliances. It was loaded with amenities. . We especially enjoyed the spacious deck with beautiful views of the sunsets over magic sands beach and sunrise over the hills in the back. We enjoyed the hot tub and the pool and the bbq area which is also fully equipped. The owner was really kind to us. I highly recommend staying here and we hope to return ourselves sometime.

This was our second stay in this unit. The location is excellent and the unit is placed so that you have a view of the ocean to the west, the lights on the hills to the east and far enough from Ali'i drive to avoid the traffic noise. Well-stocked with linens, towels, bathroom supplies and every kitchen utensil and appliance needed. There is a new large washer and dryer and a big screen tv. Josh is great about checking in and responding to texts or calls. The complex and pool are well maintained and will be getting a tennis court remodel this year.

Our group of 4 adults really enjoyed our stay at this condo. The location was excellent - right across street from a beautiful beach and fantastic snorkeling cove. The condo was clean and very comfortable. Also, it had everything we needed to make breakfasts, lunch, and dinners. The condo complex was very quiet and we enjoyed meals on the lanai. Josh was very responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable about the island. I highly recommend staying here, and would definitely go back if I get the chance.

Would highly recommend this condo to anyone traveling to Kona…we had the best time here and when we come back we will definitely book with Josh again. The condo itself had everything you could need.. beach towels, beach chairs, snorkel masks etc making it super convenient. The condo was beautiful inside, nicely furnished and equipped with everything you need..was just like being at home. It’s located right across the street from the beach which was great and there’s a restaurant and snack shack on the water across the street as well with great food and coffee. Old town Kona is located a few minutes down the road and is full of restaurants, shops etc making the location of this condo perfect. This place is perfect for couples or families and there’s a nice swimming pool, grills, pool table and tennis courts on the property as well. Josh was very informative and helpful and we just loved his place and can’t wait to come back.

Perfect vacation at this condo! The unit was very clean with updated kitchen appliances. With two bedrooms and two full bathrooms our family of 5 had plenty of room. There were also a few small coolers we used for road trips and the storage bin had snorkle gear, chairs, umbrellas and pool floats. The best feature though was the location directly across from Magic Sands beach where we swam and watched the sunset every night. Highly recommended!
