Very clean and comfortable. The location is great, just a 10 minute or so walk past the ponds to the beach. Nice lanai for sitting. One bedroom was perfect for the two of us, but would be a bit crowded if others joined and slept on the fold-out couch. Doable but crowded. Would definitely stay in unit 101 again.

Queens Market Deli is one of my favorotes for good quick food and to fill our cooler with snacks for the day and head to the beach. Quiet peaceful location.

It felt safe and quiet being in a gated community resort, away from the hustle and bustle of Kailua Kona, very comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed making breakfast every morning; we had everything we could have needed and more. We truly felt at home. We loved having a washer and dryer right in the condo, as well as being on the first floor with our own backyard to watch many colorful, different species of birds that came to visit us. It was truly divine.

We enjoyed our stay at The Shores. The condo was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The price was also affordable. I would stay here again.

This ground floor unit was in a well maintained quiet complex. The lanai was surrounded by a green hedge that gives the feel of privacy. We were close to the pool and BBQs. The bed was very comfortable and just the right firmness. Management was easy to communicate with and were responsive to any questions or concerns. The kitchen was well supplied. Would consider staying here again if we ever revisit The Big Island.

We really this unit. Spacious, nice natural light, patio with large grass area. The bed and furniture was nice. We were happy to find a cooler and two beach chairs that we used a lot. Close to pool and hot tub. The unit is very well maintained.

We enjoyed mid-seventies (F) February temperatures and cheerful tree-filled birds.
Rosy-faced lovebirds and Mynahs above us and
Kolea, doves and Gray Francolins enjoying the many well-tended lawns. Truly an oasis amid the lava fields.
Skies so dark that the Milky Way was visible.
