Overall, we liked the condo, the space was perfect for 4 adults and 2 kids, probably would be crowded with more adults.The management company had good communication prior to arrival and responded quickly to questions. The comforters on the beds could use a good cleaning. The blinds in the living room were missing, but it still felt private due to the trees. The carpet appeared clean, but stained.The kids loved the small pool on the property and the beach toys that were available was a nice surprise. A/C didn't work correctly, after reseting it multiple times, we just opened all the doors and used fans to get it down togetlreasonable temperature.

Our stay didn’t meet expectations, despite the great location just a minute from downtown. We had several issues right from the start, like broken blinds, dirty carpets, and a fridge door that didn’t work properly, but those were manageable. The main problem was with the air conditioning, which stopped blowing cold air on the second day. We asked for help, but it wasn’t fixed until Monday, which made it uncomfortable for some older people in our group. When we asked about it, staff suggested we were using the remote wrong or not closing the door properly, but that wasn’t the case. After looking online, I found that the issue was likely a refrigerant problem, which I shared with them, but it still took until Monday for anyone to fix it. Although we got a small refund as compensation, given the price we paid, the experience didn’t match our expectations. I think the unit needs some work to justify the cost

Had a wonderful stay. Location was convenient to walk to the downtown area. Driving distance to all the local shops. Not far from great little beach areas. As well as close to dive shops if you are into that! The neighbors (local and renters) very nice and friendly. Parking spot is right in front of unit. Only one minor complaint but did not affect my rating is the air conditioning, it’s not central which is ok but the living room AC is on a spring timer that you have to turn on each hour at a time. One bedroom has an AC unit on same type of timer. The other bedroom has no AC unit. So we made it work for us but it is something to note. It can get warm if AC is not on.
I would stay again It was a very nice place to stay!

The condo is in OK shape. A few dinged tiles & scuff marks. So akin to a Motel 6. Would have been a fine place to sleep if it hadn’t been for the constant contact with roaches. It’s Hawai’i- bugs exist, but to have them in the utensil drawer, dishwasher, both bathrooms and to have multiple roaches run out of the toaster while using it was less than copacetic . I attempted to contact the people in charge and got silence in return.
Will be sterilizing my luggage and everything in them when I get home. DO NOT STAY HERE

The unit has a great loaction, close to city main attrractions, but the A/C unit did not work as expected - did not work almost at all. During the first 5 days, we almost had no cooling in the house, too hot!!! A/C would shut down ramdomly when ooutside home!
Only after several calls and 2 visit from technicians the issue was solved. No problem from then on
Also room windows had no sun stoppers and there was too much noise from main road at any tim of day or night
The top floow was too hot as ther was a main open window not accessable from indoor, so the sun would gets directly inside as well as the road noise
In summary, I would repeat this option mainly due to the A/C issue.

The condo was easy to find and to access. Had everything we needed for our stay. Accommodations were close to shopping, restaurants, and small beaches. Only complaint would be the wall unit air conditioning (living room and master bedroom) was on a 60-second timer and was noisy. There was no a/c in the second bedroom nor was there any way to get cross ventilation in the unit. Pretty hot and stuffy. The hair dryer in the master bathroom was noisy and sounded like it was on its last legs. Had to buy another dryer for our stay. Overall the stay was satisfactory for our needs.

If you can't tolerate heat don't stay here! Location is very convenient to Kona town, many places are walkable. Condo could use a facelift but was adequate, just did not cool down at night. Be prepared to be in a bit of a fishbowl with neighbors uncomfortably close close.

The two bed apartment was clean and had a fully supplied kitchen for meals. The unit is quiet even thought there are permanent tenements. There is road noise being close to the main road. Within walking distance to the town of Kona and beaches. The one negative is that the unit does not face the ocean, so don’t get a crossbreeez without running fans. Overall a good place to stay for the money.

Well prepared, clean, interestingly located apartment, easy to use. Nice pool.
Small remarks: It is worth repairing (lubricating) the lock on the entrance door because it is difficult to open and close. Also, the gate to the pool closes too hard by itself (it caused minor leg damage).

The condo is well located, albait not exactly across the street from Holn beach, 4 minutes walk away, but still great. Very clean large rooms, lots of fans to help with the fact there is no A/C, but we were aware and accepted the fact before renting. Very close to the Hot Spots in Kona. Well equipped en the kitchen and comfortable beds and sheets. The only complaint, even though we were not there for that is the TV service has no Live TV. If you like old shows…

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying in Wayne's beautiful condo, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The condo itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with all the amenities one could need for a comfortable stay.
One of the highlights was the stunning view of the ocean from the balcony. Waking up to the sight and sound of the waves every morning was truly magical. The sunsets were equally breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing evening.
The location was another major plus. Just a few blocks from downtown, it was incredibly convenient to explore the local shops, restaurants, and attractions. Despite being so close to the hustle and bustle, the condo was in a quiet and peaceful area, offering the best of both worlds.
Wayne is wonderful, always responsive and helpful whenever we had any questions or needed assistance. His hospitality made us feel right at home.
Overall, this condo rental exceeded all our expectations. It was the perfect home away from home, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Hawaii.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a great stay. Pros: comfortable beds, great airflow, well shaded lanai (until about 2pm). The pool/hot tub are nice and a close walk, but not so close we could hear if kids were having a good time in it. Short walk to Ali'i shops & restaurants. Cons: the kitchen was fine, but not great for lots of cooking. The walk to the pool & grills is down a hill, so that could be uncomfortable if you have mobility issues (or are carrying lots of food).

This was a beautiful new condo close the airport. It served as a great base for our adventures all across the big island and was conveniently close to the manta ray dive we took. Would absolutely stay here again.

The property is clean, centrally located & so thoughtful! The interior is clean & simple with island design touches which made it a delight. We especially enjoyed playing the included LPs on their cute record player.
The property includes beach gear (chairs, toys & snorkels). It was the perfect location for our family stay & the instructions from the management company were simple & easy to follow (even for two kids).
Would 100% stay here again with pleasure :)

We like the location, the condo, the condo complex. Kitchen was well stocked and had pretty much everything we needed.
Nice to have access to some pool/swimming equipment in the garage.
Some light bulbs were out when we visited and it took a while to get replacements.
Other than that, everything was good.

My family had a wonderful stay here and are already planning a return trip. The beds were very comfortable, and the condo is in great condition. It’s very close to town and we walked to town for dinner and drinks on several nights. There is a great view of the ocean from the balcony. The owner is very friendly and responds quickly to any questions.

The check in process was easy, and the space was a great size. They provided equipment for the beach which was super convenient. They had chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler. Kitchen was stocked but we didn’t really cook. They have an AC in the living room and in the main room. Recommend for families or small groups.

We were very pleased with the remolded property J4. We loved the hardwood and tile flooring. It was easy to keep clean ( not a fan of carpet). Didn't require constant vacuuming. Best sunsets from upstair lanai ever, many photos. Thank you for letting us use your home.

Property Manager was awesome... workers who managed the grounds were not too friendly and accommodating. Phone number to call for overnight parking is deceiving.
July 2024
We enjoyed our stay and it was only a 10-15-minute walk to downtown Kona. It would have been good to know that the Hele On shuttle was free, but we probably would have walked anyway because there was construction elsewhere on the route that made stop times unpredictable. The unit was clean and we enjoyed having the pool. It was a bit hot a couple nights, but otherwise had a good time and saved a little money by making a few meals in the kitchen. Of course we ate out too. It was a great vacation.

Only issue was the ac in the unit was freezing in two areas because we had to cool the two units locations constantly due to the air flow to master and back bedroom stayed very warm but the unit had alot of box fans we set up to move the air to those rooms which made it comfortable to sleep

Property was clean and accurately listed. The condo was so cute and we loved the record player! Spent mornings on the lanai listening to the birds and planning our day. The location was a great launching point for many different experiences. We ended up visiting Waimea, Hilo, Waikoloa and (our favorite) Holualoa. Very easy walk or drive to restaurants and shops. Highly recommend grabbing a shave ice at Gecko Girlz and watching some volleyball. Overall a great place to stay!

Our family of 4 stayed here for a week to explore the Island of Hawaii. The house was very well supplied, check in was easy and it was all only a 4 minute walk to Honl Beach. We really appreciated all the sand and water toys, chairs, etc. It was an easy 20 minute walk to downtown Kona and quick drives to other great beaches. The pool is small, but lovely and the BBQ was a great addition.
The only drawback was that the lanai overlooks Ali’i Drive which can be a bit noisy as it is a very busy road. If you’re into car culture (or have a teenage son who is!), this might be a plus.
We would absolutely stay here again.

Central location on Ali'i Drive - close to restaurants, shops, beaches, markets etc. Great pool and facilities. Met some lovely people too.Knutson & Associates were very helpful and responded to enquiries promptly. The fruit basket and flowers were a welcome surprise!The condo was well stocked and comfortably laid out. The bedrooms both had memory foam mattresses and the sofa bed was surprisingly very comfortable! Lots of pillows to choose from too.We had a late flight and were able to arrange a late checkout - huge stress reliever.Definitely recommend and would happily stay again.
