The property was really nice and spacious. Close to the ocean. 15 minutes from Kailua. The host made suggestions on what to do while visiting here. We enjoyed the restaurants and the beaches recommended. The host and property manager were very responsive and amiable. There was a nice pool and jacuzzi too.

The host tried to switch us to a property that was “almost the same” but not registered with VRBO. The narrative about why the switch needed to happen changed daily, but eroded confidence in our ability to trust the host. After the host indicated that they would not be able to honor the original contract, the contract was cancelled.Would not recommend the host. VRBO was very helpful in resolving the issue.

The first photo is not the building I stayed in. From the back building, I could see a portion of the beach.airconditioning was nice.the kitchen lights were not ideal and the stove light was out, so I couldn't see the stove very well, even with the overhead light on. The clock battery was dead. the dryer door needs adjusted, I had to lift up to close it.I loved the cotton sheets! The hot tub was nice

This beautiful condo is directly across the street from one of the best snorkeling places on the Big Island. It was well stocked with beach supplies and the bed was really comfortable. AC made sleeping easy! There is a grocery store and restaurants nearby. Our favorite part of the trip was watching the sunset on the Lanai! We will stay here again!

A quaint little space! We enjoyed your place very much, especially the balcony. A nice pool area and hot tub! The bed in the master bedroom was comfortable and we loved the ease of walking to get snorkel gear and to the beach. The owner and local contact were super easy to get a hold of and had great communication with us. We had an amazing vacation in paradise, thank you!

Our stay on Kahalu’u Bay was the best rental experience our family has ever had! Ben and everyone at the shop were so welcoming to us. It was the perfect place for our family, combining gorgeous views, unparalleled access to surfing, snorkeling and more just steps away, and easy access to all Kona has to offer. The house was so clean and well-appointed. One tip: definitely check in and look at the cupboards before grocery shopping as there was a lot already stocked. Just waking up to watch the morning sun hit the bay as the first surfers went out, listening to the friendly chatter and surf lessons happening right below the balcony, and the friendly welcoming smiles every time we came back through the gates - our family will treasure many many good memories.

My family and I love visiting the Big Island and we had a wonderful stay again this year. Kona Coast vacations was incredibly easy to work with and very responsive. All information was communicated ahead of time and there were no surprises. We love the South Kona area and this condo was perfect for our family of 6. The condo is clean, comfortable and well stocked with kitchen needs, towels, linens, toiletries, etc. My favorite parts of the day were waking up and enjoying the ocean view and sounds with my coffee on the lanai and watching the sunset as my boys swam in the pool. Highly recommend this condo. I would stay here again and I would definitely book with Kona Coast Vacations again.

Absolutely perfect choice for our family of four. When we visit Kona in the future we will likely build our travel dates around the availability of this property! The house was super well stocked with condiments, any cooking utensils and tools we needed and more, plus local wine/coffee/chocolates, all a big hit that made us feel at home. I don’t think I’ve ever seen linens and towels more organized, and even the small details (sound machines, AC units in each of the main rooms) were considered and added up to a perfect vacation. Ben was very responsive and each member of the surf shop staff made us feel welcome and special. Our 13-year old son would have liked to stay and work at the surf shop! Can’t ask for a better view or location if you want to surf, SUP, snorkel, or nap on the sand—just walk across the street and hop in the water. Highly recommend taking a lesson from any of the professionals at the shop. Beds were also all really comfortable and there are plenty of restaurants within a few minutes’ drive if you don’t want to cook (as well as a local grocery store if you do). The staff at the shop also helped us narrow down our itinerary when we were trying to figure out how to structure a couple of days (suggested to combine Mauna Kea and Kīlauea into one long day rather than break it up, which gave us an extra day at the beach!). This may be the best vacation home we’ve ever rented and was a magical introduction to Kona. Mahalo, Ben.

We had a fantastic stay! The property had plenty of space for our family of 5. The location was amazing, the snorkeling across the street was everyone’s favorite part of our trip. The kitchen was well equipped to make meals in if you plan on it and we weren’t far from the grocery store and plenty of great restaurants. We would definitely recommend and will look into staying again if/when we come back.

Had a great time staying here. It was clean, comfortable and close to everything. Was great to walk to the beach or have coffee on the lanai and watch the waves in the morning. The hosts and manager were easy to work with and very responsive. My family and I had a great time. This was a perfect home base for us on our vacation. Highly recommend!

Condo was very clean and updated. Location was perfect to the ocean and snorkeling. Close to shops and restaurants. Close enough to downtown Kona but without the noise and traffic. Pool and hot tub cleaned daily grounds well maintained. Only downside is that it is a 3rd floor unit with amazing views unfortunately, without an elevator. Hosts were awesome to work with. Communication was excellent!Mahalo Rachel and Jason

This is the best location! The beach with good snorkeling is across the street; an infinity pool looks out over the beach if sand isn’t your thing. You can even hear the waves from inside! The kitchen is well appointed for making your own food. And lastly you are about midland so traveling north or south is well within reach. Definitely coming back.

Host James is very responsive and friendly! The condo is filled with top of the line kitchen/dining tableware, grilling tools, and glass and plastic dining options. There are snorkels, fins, beach chairs, body boards, beach towels, a number of coolers of varying sizes, and plenty of everything needed. The condo is very nicely furnished and is in a prime location as it is easy to get to beaches, restaurants, bakeries, and the airport. We would definitely stay here again.

What an incredible stay! Ben was the ultimate host. He was extremely responsive and welcoming. His place was immaculate and very well stocked. The main bed was super cozy with a massager and ability to adjust your head and legs. The view was spectacular and we saw spouting whales while sitting and enjoying our morning coffee. The snorkeling across the street is one of the best on the island. We enjoyed watching the sunset every evening. The colors were amazing.

Outstanding condo! Very clean, convenient and comfy. One of the best VRBO’s we’ve stayed in, and we’ve stayed in a bunch all over the U.S. and Canada. Almost hate to give such a glowing review because, selfishly, we want the condo to be available next time we visit.

Wow! This was hands-down the most magical place we have ever stayed. We felt so lucky to spend the entire week here.Ben is incredibly welcoming and the house is absolutely stunning & so clean! We spent so much time on the lanai enjoying the view of the ocean and all the thoughtful amenities provided—beach towels, beach chairs, cooler bag, huge closets, super-comfortable beds, and more. It was so nice being able to walk to the beach for snorkeling, then come back for a quick lunch or relax in the house.We rented snorkel gear from the surf shop for the whole week and our son took a private surf lesson (wish we had booked that sooner—it was the highlight of his trip!). Everything was perfect - we already can’t wait to come back! Thank you Ben!

This was a really sweet spot, when your traveling somewhere, you want to be out and about not spending all your time in your rental, but coming back to this one was relaxing, comfortable, and with a sweet view. The pool and hot tub were clean and peaceful. Rest days didnt feel like a waste and the neighbor hood kittys were fun to watch. Gail was helpful and welcoming, we had a little communication breakdown but she reassured me everything was going to be okay. If I were to go back to Hawaii I would like to book here again. I had one complaint and that was the condo upstairs they were very loud but thats not in Gails control and hofully that was a temporary neigbor.

The room was clean and functional, and we were pleasantly surprised by how well equipped it was with amenities and supplies. The fresh avocados, bananas, and lilikoi from Ben’s farm added a lovely tropical touch to our meals. Ben was very responsive to our questions, which made our stay comfortable and worry-free.

WONDERFUL!!! Right from the moment we arrived, Ben was the most welcoming host we have ever encountered in our many stays in vacation rentals. The house was pristine and had everything we needed. The location was perfectly located for beach access at Kahaluu Bay and quick access to downtown Kona shops via the free trolley. While everyone else was scrambling for parking and we were in the water enjoying the wide variety of fish! Highlight was the turtle that swam right alongside us. We honored the ten foot distance but the turtle did not!! We ate dinner and watched the sunset over the bay every night. Ben also runs the Kahaluu Surf & Sea and his customers were as happy with his care there as we were with our incredible stay. Can't wait to come back and stay again. Perfect vacation!!!! Thank you so much Ben and crew!!!!

James provided all needed information at just the right time. The unit is super clean, updated, and very well appointed. The kitchen even had a French Press and a coffee grinder! The coffee snob in me was especially thrilled! The view of the palm trees and ocean was great and we enjoyed the pool area as well. It was exactly what we needed and was quiet and relaxing. Thank you!!

The location was perfect: close to beaches, great restaurants, and shopping, yet still peaceful and relaxing. We would definitely stay again.

What a magnificent place!! We’ve been to the Big Island a handful of times, and stayed at various locations. THIS IS OUR ALL TIME FAVORITE BY FAR! So spacious, clean and perfect for the four of us!! The view was incredible, and nothing beats waking up and sitting on the lanai listening to the ocean waves. We were directly across from the best snorkeling best ever. Also a great side beach there where my kids were able to play in the waves. They also rate it 10/10. The host was professional, and communicated well. Including ideas on what to do on the island. He was timely in response, and followed through with everything he said. He had boogie boards there for us to use, along with other misc stuff within the condo. The bed we slept in was more comfortable than my own. And both bathrooms had beautiful walk in showers. The ceilings in the entire unit were very high, which made it just feel so spacious and airy. Quiet area. Great pool and hot tub. The whole complex felt very safe and top tier. Will definitely rent the unit next time we come. Thank you SO much!

My two sisters and I had a wonderful stay at Gail’s lovely condo. It is so nicely decorated and comfortable. The proximity to Kahalu’u Beach Park is unbeatable. Situated steps from Ali’i Drive, access to a bus that runs downtown is super convenient. The beds were very comfortable. Beautiful kitchen too. We enjoyed the lanai (I got a kick out of hearing the lifeguard’s occasional announcements from Kahalu’u). I hope to return soon!

This property is beautiful, right across the street from the beach. There is everything you need provided in the property - snorkel gear, beach chairs, water shoes (no sizes for little kids FYI), tons of towels, cooler - this place was stocked so well. We loved our stay - the only thing to be aware of is that you hear everything from the unit above you. I don't know if we were just unlucky with who was there when we were, but at all hours of the day and night you heard stomping, doors and drawers slamming, etc.

This condo is as nice as a Westin condo. Clean, comfortable, nice amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms, great location just steps to a snorkeling beach, large washer/dryer, and an elevator. Excellent communication from the owner with helpful links to activities, restaurants, etc. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
