The condo was everything and more! We clocked many many wonderful hours on that lanai. Perfect sunset after perfect sunset. The AC worked great but we turned it off and relied on Open windows, ocean breezes and overhead fans

This was our third time staying at this condo. The ocean view is amazing and the owner was very responsive. I highly recommend this property for a family vacation.

Nice location. We weren’t as fortunate as previous renters in regards to the check in process, communication with owner and cleanliness, but now we know what to expect. After we figured out how to get checked in and gain access/instructions, we were able to enjoy our stay. We’re islanders, so we know what to expect…but if you're not accustomed to island living, you may want to grab yourselves some Hoy Hoys from the store.

Great condo in a spectacular location. You literally feel like you are on the water with crashing waves and spectacular sunsets. Condo very well appointed for those of us looking to cook local fresh fish and enjoy dinner on the water. Comfy beds and a very small and quiet complex which we enjoyed immensely. Great owner who was a good communicator and open to a few suggestions from a fellow VRBO property owner. Can't go wrong in looking for a great place to stay on the Big Island.

We really enjoyed staying in this condo! The wall of windows leading to a terrace overlooking the ocean gave us plenty of sunshine and a terrific view of the sunset and the surfers. The kitchen was well equipped and the collection of beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, snorkeling equipment etc. was appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.

Spent an amazing week at this beautiful condo, which featured everything one would need. Owners were responsive, property was spotless and the location unbeatable. Only wish I could bottle the sound of the surf and the continuous gentle breeze to bring with us back to the mainland. Would love to return some time!

We stayed here for 5-6 days and it was great. Only a couple miles down the beach from town, it's a quiet location with covered parking and an elevator. There was plenty of space for the four of us (2 adults, 2 teens) to spread out comfortably and it was very well-stocked with everything from beach gear to kitchen ware and spices. And, the view! Looking out over the Banyans surf spot from sunrise to sunset is hard to beat.
I appreciated all of those details so much more after our kids flew home early and we switched to a smaller place in town. While walking to a restaurant was convenient, the downside was a noisy view of Henry St., spread out parking, and hiking luggage up three flights of stairs. Something for travelers to consider when comparing options.
The owners were great too. They were always quick to respond and were completely accommodating to the handful of changes we needed to make, before and during our stay, to ensure we had the best time possible.

Was really happy with our choice. Could not beat the view from our room and proximity to the water. Made us not want to leave our room. Free covered parking with a reserved spot. Nicely decorated. Had everything you could possibly need including boogie boards, beach towels, kitchen needs, and appliances. Really enjoyed that it was a small complex and not busy. When we used the pool, no one else was even in it. We could see sea turtles, beautiful yellow tang, and other fish just by sitting out on our lanai. Lots of surfers in the morning and evening. One day when there was no surf we saw people go pretty far out and snorkel. It is next to a very small beach that has shade trees. Lots of great snorkeling close by. The size was perfect for us, but you could sleep 7. Loved having a washer and dryer inside the unit. The breeze and ceiling fans kept the condo at a perfect temperature so much so that we never turned the air conditioning on. King bed was super comfortable. Appreciated the compendium binder that gave us the rules of the condo, how to use things, and suggestions on where to go and things to do. The unit is fairly close to (short drive) to Walmart, Costco, and many other restaurants, and shops. We would definitely stay there again should we come back to the Big Island.

What a fantastic property! This was our first time to Hawaii, and we could not be happier with where we stayed. The views were breathtaking, the location very central, and amenities top notch. I don't know what was better, the property while we stayed there, or the outstanding communication with the host Chrissy. Chrissy went out of her way to make sure that we had a relaxing time in Kona. The booking process, check-in vacationing, and check-out were all easy and as relaxing as you would expect from an vacation in Hawaii. We will be back! Chrissy, thanks for letting my family create new memories at your property! Some highlights:
1. Kona is a great location for exploring the entire island. This condo is not far from anything in Kona (grocery, nightlife, beaches, and outstanding views).
2. The condo was very comfortable. The AC only works in the master bedroom, but we had 5 floor fans provided by the host as well as ceiling fans in every room. We found that the AC only needs to be ran for an hour or so when you first show up to cut the humidity in the unit, and the many fans kept us comfortable the rest of the time.
3. The kitchen is fully stocked, even with light foods that you might want when you first arrive (left by prior occupants). The TV/Cable is excellent for whatever you might want to watch for any possible down time you have on the island (which won't be much).
4. There is a small sand beach next to the condo, and public ocean access!

We loved our stay at this condo! It was the best part of our vacation, and hard to leave!
The location felt safe. The condo was extremely clean and well kept, as well as the property grounds and pool area. It only has 20 units and was very quiet.
The amenities were great w/ boogie boards, beach chairs, multiple umbrellas, sand toys, a volleyball, coolers, even snorkel vests. We enjoyed having a blender for fresh fruit smoothies and things to cook with, as well as storage containers for fruit and leftovers.
It was just a few miles from the trendy Kona shopping and restaurants. Huggos on the Rocks was our favorite restaurant for live music on the water.
The view from the balcony was incredible! We loved waking up in the mornings to watch the surfers. All day you could watch surfers, kayakers, and boats go by. We saw yellow fish, dolphins, a sea turtle and a whale from the balcony. There are several pairs of binoculars to use.
Several nights we stayed in to watch the sunset from the balcony.
Snorkeling at nearby Kahalu’u beach park was great. We took family surf lessons nearby.
Magic Sands beach was close/pretty. We used the boards at Kua Bay and Hapuna.
The owner, Chrissy, was great to work with and responded promptly. Thank you Chrissy!!
Everything was perfect!!!
My only note- the wall to divide the master bedroom and the living room is very thin so don’t expect much privacy. But it wouldn’t stop us from renting again with our family of 4.
