So amazing!! Had everything you need and more. Perfect for our family of 4, location was amazing, views were beautiful, spotlessly clean, new and just perfect. Will stay here again! Ate our meals on the patio to enjoy the sunsets. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. Having all the needed right there for the beach, cooler, umbrella, chairs, etc was fantastic!

We can't say enough positive things about this vacation rental or the people! Ben is super helpful and kind, as are his staff at the surf shop Chris and Jack. The rental has everything you need, including coolers for beach days, and an excellent sunset view. Ben was very responsive whenever we had a question, *and* our snorkeling gear, boogie boards, and beach umbrella and chairs were included in the vacation rental! The location is also great. You can easily walk to a very accessible and lifeguard-watched decent snorkeling beach, plus you saw close enough to whatever tours you sign up for without being surrounded by other tourists all the time. We will 100% stay here again when we come back to Kona.

This condo was spectacular! Luxurious and comfortable. Beautiful sunset views over the ocean from the lanai/deck. Kitchen is well stocked. The location is next to a beach with sand, great snorkeling (we saw schools of fish, eels, turtles, healthy coral, etc etc), and a beginner surf spot. Close to a grocery store and great shave ice. The pool is warm and the hot tub is very hot. We have traveled all the Hawaiian islands for years and this condo is a new favorite!

Our family of six had a terrific time over six nights in this condo. Snorkeling daily at Kahaluu Beach across the street was the best! The condo is well kept, clean, nicely furnished, with incredible sunset views from the balcony. We will definitely return.

Our stay in the Beachfront Ocean View Penthouse was exceptional. The unit was clean, well appointed and conveniently located. It is clear the owners put great care into the design and upkeep of the condo. The view from the lanai is wonderful and makes for a relaxing way to enjoy the sunset after a busy day of exploring. It is just steps from Kahalu’u Beach Park, a great place for quick and easy snorkeling. Chad, our host, was very communicative and provided lots of useful information about nearby beaches, activities, restaurants, etc. We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals and this was without a doubt one of the nicest we’ve ever been to. We will definitely stay here again if it’s available next time we’re on the Big Island.

We like this place so much that this was our second stay here. The condo is lovely and comfortable and has everything you need. It's just across the road from a top snorkeling beach, and there are great views from the lanai. We hope to visit again sometime!

Our family enjoyed our stay at Tricia and Donato’s condo. The condo was very clean and the grounds and buildings are very well maintained. We loved the condo’s floor plan and the view of the beach from the patio My son enjoyed walking across the street to surf and we loved snorkeling in the morning. Maholo and if we ever stay on the Kona side of the Big Island, we will book their place.

Ben is a stellar host and easy to communicate with. The check in and out process couldn’t have been simpler and we found the home to be super clean and comfortable. The property is well-appointed with all of the necessities needed from kitchenware and appliances to beach gear. Lots of thoughtful touches with decor and art that make it especially charming. The WiFi, AC, TVs, etc. all work well.The location, right across from a stellar snorkel/ surf beach and right above a surf / snorkel shop for gear or lessons is hard to beat. The patio makes for an excellent spot for a sunset meal or drinks.Mahalo Ben!

What a lovely condo. We loved the ocean views and the proximity to the beach. Parking was easy and the pool was lovely. The home was well stocked and super comfortable. We appreciated the notes for using the TV. It was super convenient that the unit had an adjacent storage unit for beach gear. The hosts were lovely and easy to work with. We would definitely book this unit again!

We arrived early & was very greatful that our host allow us to drop off our bags & grocery from Costco at the condo. The snorkeling beach was just across the street from the condo & got to see lots of colorful fish. We wish we were there longer than 4nts. Our 2 grandkids enjoy the pool as well. It was wonderful that the condo provided everything that we needed from the bathroom to the kitchen supplies. It was nice that we got to see the 4th of July parade at a nearby town. Thank you again Chad for being a great host & to Brittany too for letting us in. Mahalo

Wonderful property close to beaches and shopping. Elevator made moving in and out a breeze. Parking was easy and plentiful. Beach amenities came in very handy. Air conditioning was well worth the extra charge. Would rent again.

Excellent house and hosts! This gem had a cool eclectic surf vibe, was meticulously clean, and superbly organized. This is the spot to book if you love snorkeling, want to learn to surf, appreciate your private view of the ocean (3 balconies to choose from), and want to have a short drive to everything! You are across the street from historic landmarks and a wonderful beach with lifeguards and volunteers providing free reef-safe sunscreen, defog, and helpful snorkeling tips. We saw a monk seal, turtles, and tons of fish! You are right above the nicest surf shop where you can rent boards and snorkel sets, and get a surf lesson and local lore from the friendliest folks. Stay here! This is the place. We wish we could give more than 5 stars! Mahalo!

This is a lovely condo with a great ocean view. Plenty of parking, a nice kitchen, and beach gear available for use. Laundry in unit was a nice option to have. The location is wonderful: a great snorkeling/surfing beach across the street. Perfect place to watch the sunset. Close to a shopping center and 15 minutes from Kailua and all sorts of restaurants and shopping. 15 minutes from coffee farms. In other words: great place to stay while exploring the island. Communication with the host was excellent. Quick, helpful replies when I contacted her. My favorite touch were the tips of great places to visit and eat. We experienced great hospitality here!

Our stay at this vacation home was absolutely wonderful! The home was beautiful, spotless, and very well maintained. The views were breathtaking and made every morning and evening feel extra special. It was the perfect place to relax while enjoying everything Hawaii has to offer. We truly felt at home and appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and attention to detail. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in Hawaii!

The condo was perfectly situated south of Kona and made exploring the Big Island easy. Everything needed for a lovely stay was there. Being across from the park with beach access was extremely convenient. Snorkeling there was a highlight of our trip. Eating dinner on the balcony while watching the sunset will be something we never forget!

We truly enjoyed our time at this condo! It was very well stocked. Can't think of anything we could have needed, that we didn't find. We cooked some in the condo and used the snorkeling gear that was available. We also used the coolers a few times as well. So helpful. The pool was great, our kids loved it. Parking was convenient. Gail was wonderful to communicate with and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property!

Clean, comfortable, and absolutely amazing view from the deck! Beautiful ocean sunsets every night! Perfect location for everything we wanted to do. Close to several beaches, lots of places to eat and shop close by. Condo was perfect for our family of four. We loved hanging out and playing games on the deck while we watched the sunset to end each day. Host was very helpful and always replied promptly. Would absolutely stay at this property again!

David at concierge service was excellent. The condo itself was very nice with a short list of deferred maintenance stuff that we left for the owner/operator. The location was great, right across the street from a beach/park area and right off a road that connects easily both N and S. Really fun. Our disappointment was with the management company. Before leaving for HI, we reached out regarding a late checkout as we had a 7pm flight and wanted to have an activity in the morning and be able to shower and change clothes before the flight. We were advised to simply reach out upon arriving in HI. Upon arrival, we contacted the management company and were advised that they had set an appointment to show the condo the afternoon of our departure and could not extend our departure. If they had allowed us to set up a later departure and calender it as such when we first called it would not have been an issue. Most likely they still would have been able to schedule the showing.

Love the location across street from Kahaluu for snorkeling. The condo was clean with ceiling fans in every room and lanai plus AC. You can see the ocean from the lanai and the infinity edge pool. Responsive property manager/host. Condo has beach chairs, body boards, snorkels, cooler bags and sand toys. Be sure to ask the Kahaluu reef educators to spray anti- fog on your snorkel mask. Their spray work better than any commercial spray. Great fish out there in the clear waters (mornings are best for calm waters)

What a perfect place to stay on the Big Island! The condo was well stocked with everything we needed (and then some!) It had all the beach essentials you could possibly want. We literally walked across the street to Kahulu'u beach every morning to snorkel! I would absolutely recommend this property to everyone and hope to stay here again some day!

Great location in Kona, made a good “home base” for our trip. Lots of local markets and food trucks near by. Snorkling directly across from the condo was great, we saw lots of fish and a sea turtle. Kona is more laid back and country than Maui which was a nice change of pace. Aloha!

Loved our stay! Very clean. The extras that came with the condo like in the storage unit - beach snorkel gear was so nice. The kitchen was packed with "extra" appliances like a coffee bean grinder (saved us), a juicer, ninja mixer. There was plenty of parking and the pool was empty most of the time so very quiet and nice. The Lanai had a beautiful view. We would stay here again! Couple of things to keep in mind - No indoor table to eat at just counter/ bar top. We are light sleepers. We live in the country so it was noisy at night for us. The AC unit in the guest room is pretty loud when it turns on. Since you are right off Ali'i Drive it can be pretty noisy late at night. We were lucky to have no one above us 90% of our stay but you are on the first floor. So we had some noisy people the last few nights. None of things would stop of us from coming back but I would just bring a noise machine or sleep machine for my next stay.

Wonderful property with all the amenities we could wish for! Beautiful ocean & beach view, swimming pool, hot tub, quick 1 minute walk across the street to some of the best snorkeling on the Big Island! (Just be sure to make sure the beach isn't closed for coral spawning) Parking included and a darling gift basket upon arrival. Everything was clean, modern, tastefully decorated and plenty of beach items and towels to borrow during our stay. Excellent location to Kailua-Kona. My family absolutely LOVED it!

Fantastic location...and cockroaches.My husband searched long and hard for a great place for our stay at the Big Island. A huge criteria was being close to snorkeling for my son and I, which this location 100% delivers on.However, we paid for luxury and got a location that had baby cockroaches in the dishwasher, old roach traps with droppings around it on the kitchen floor and adult cockroaches running across the kitchen counter.We reached out to Gail and she had her handy man out right away - who left a big can of Raid on the kitchen counter along with new bait traps (old ones were left). We were told spraying was also done but not near food prep (so I'm thinking base boards...?).After putting away the can of Raid (I shouldn't have to be spraying poison on my vacation), cleaning up and throwing away an old bait station that I saw every time going into the kitchen I hoped for the best. I did not want to leave this location.
Next day, still cockroaches and then finally after day 3 no more bugs to be seen.I received all the excuses possible. Listen, I'm from central Florida - I get bugs and how to control them. The excuses were flimsy. Either the pest control company needs to be fired or the people who manage the location.So - hopefully the group after us doesn't have the same experience (and probably won't since we raised the issue). Maybe take a chance on this location...?Writing this from Waikiki, another condo that is bug free (whew!).
