One of the best locations on the island for snorkeling. 2Step is nearby. If you are lookin Goff a beach for the kids with sand, Magic Sands is also near. Shopping center with a grocery store is also nearby. The owner is extremely responsive. There are Beach chairs and other items needed for play. All in all a great time.

Location is great. Quiet neighborhood and has a beautiful view of the coast from the lanai. We hear song birds all day. Lanai is nice for breakfast with a view. Having snorkel gears, boogie boards, and baby floatie are a plus. Those can use a little more cleaning, though. The house itself is generally clean and comfortable. we just ran into one issue, trash was not left under the sink and was not thrown out by the previous guests or the cleaners. The unit has lots of fans inside which really helped to keep the house cool. No A/C unit. Kitchen is complete with pots, pans, utensils, cups, plates, etc, which was such a big plus to our stay as we cooked our own breakfast everyday. I would suggest adding a jar of ground coffee, though. 3 flights of stairs to the unit so if you have big luggages it wouldnt be ideal. We had 2 hand-carry size luggage and a toddler, it wasn't too bad going up to the unit. The owner Bonnie is easy to communicate with for any questions. 50 minutes from Hapuna Beach, 1 hr 30 minutes from Black Sand Beach, a little over 2 hours from volcano. Overall, I would recommend this place. Very comfortable, beautiful view, quiet.

This condo is great if you are a slightly mobility impaired. There are no stairs, but you do have to walk around the building. The showers are easy to get into. There was a very comfortable queen size bed at a good height. Our friend slept on the Murphy bed and she said it was very comfortable also. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you will need to cook. There are a few extra spices which is great. I have rented in the complex five or six times over the years, different units and I will definitely come back to this condo again. Easy to communicate with the owners.

This place has all the essentials! We only stayed 2 days, but this place allows you to enjoy a beautiful sunset while having all the amenities for a relaxing vacation! From chairs to umbrellas to spices for cooking to a cooler, this place allows you not to have to worry about a thing and just go explore Big Island! Would definitely recommend!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Communication with the manager and the entire check in process was excellent, and the property was very clean and well stocked with linens and supplies for cleaning, as well as resources for going to the beach and cooking. I wish we could have stayed longer and took advantage of the well stocked kitchen.
Additionally it was only a few minutes away from the Fair Wind tours. There was a delightful artisan fair right down the road too.
I definitely recommend this place and hope to stay again.

The location was perfect to everything we needed and chose to do. Great snorkeling tours one block away. Farmers Market 5 minutes away. Everything was clean, enough pillows and sheets. Enough kitchenware, pots and pans (could use an extra skillet), plates, cups, etc. The outside Lanai with the view of the ocean and sunset were perfect. Pool is great. Supplies for snorkeling for kids was a nice bonus. If I had to suggest anything, I would say be prepared for the quite atmosphere, it's not really a place for young children to be noisy, but there are plenty of places to take them for the day. We were okay with respecting quite time, others might not be. I brought ear plugs because I am a light sleeper, there are tropical birds and frogs. Also, we had an interesting neighbor below (I guess a visitor) that yawned loudly all night and morning, not the property owners' fault, but again, was glad I brought my ear plugs. Loved that there was an inside and outside table. Plenty of beds, and seating area. Loved that there was a washer and dryer in the condo. There were two showers, but only one got real warm water. I would recommend the place to friends and family. Owner was great about texting, calls and emails.

This was our first experience with vrbo and it was perfect for us. Diane, the Host was very helpful with directions, and instructions about the condo so it was very easy to locate the condo and get inside. It was exactly as described on the website. Everything was clean and ready to move in, all we had to do was unpack and go to the store for food. It is a very quiet place and friendly neighbors. Even though there was no AC there was usually a nice breeze and the ceiling fans kept it cool. The pool is near the unit, clean and very inviting. If we ever make it back to Kona we would for sure stay here again. Thanks again Diane for sharing your condo with our family and making our trip that much more special. Aloha, Willi and family

We truly enjoyed our time here. Very nice, quiet property. Used it as our home base for the first part of our stay, then stayed closer to Volcano NP at the end. There were no issues at all during our stay. The hosts thought of everything. Great to have a cooler, beach chairs, etc. The propane BBQ on the balcony was perfect for burgers. The pool is small, but close to the unit and was great to cool off. As others have mentioned, the outside noise (birds, yard crew, etc) starts really early. All of the windows are slats to allow airflow, but also allows in sound. We didn’t mind at all. It was actually nice to get the day started early. But if that bothers you, bring earplugs or reconsider. We would definitely stay again!

We really enjoyed this top floor condo and its large lanai. The stairs are a good reminder to be mindful, to not overpack (there's laundry in the unit), and to be grateful you can still do the stairs! The condo had what we needed to cook our meals, eat them comfortably, and do the dishes. the owners have thoughtfully provided A/C which wasn't necessarily needed every night - but was sure appreciated when needed. Comfortable beds - including the murphy bed with handy screens for making a private space at night. Clean, comfortable and easy to be there. You cannot beat the ocean view. It's so lovely to watch it, and the golfers on the 9th hole of the Kona Country Club teeing off. Friendly, quiet place. Nice pool. Easy to walk down to several beaches and to the boat harbor. There's a fun weekly farmers market with food, crafts and music at the Outrigger down the road. Easy access to shopping, groceries, restaurants, and to golf. We really enjoyed the place. Thanks so much. Mahalo.

Beautiful view overlooking golf course. My husband and I spent 25 days at this location for our 25th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful stay. Condo was as described with well equipped kitchen and lots of towels, chairs, umbrella for beach days. Holly even dropped off a cooler for us for to use. Yes there is golf course maintenance only on certain days and a fellow picking up golf balls from the driving range that can be rather loud at early hours but noise was not an issue for us as we aren’t light sleepers. Overall 5 stars ⭐️ we would stay again and recommend too others. Mahalo for a wonderful time.

This was the third unit at Keauhou Akahi that we have stayed in, and it was by far our favourite. Out of the four buildings at Akahi, this building sits further back, giving this particular top floor unit the best view of the entire complex. Yes, there are lots of stairs, but it didn't bother us. It is very tastefully decorated with a blend of modern and traditional Hawaiian décor. It was super clean. It didn’t come with any spices or supplies in the kitchen but was otherwise very well equipped. They supply a roll of toilet paper and some hotel sized toiletries in each bathroom, but if you are staying for any length of time, you will need to bring your own. The management company sent us the odd text to check in on us which was convenient since we had a small issue with the toilet in one of the bathrooms. They promptly sent a repairman over to fix it. The location isn’t in town and about a mile walk to the closest shopping centre. I knew this and personally like the location of this complex, as it is conveniently located between Historic Kailua town, coffee country and the wonderful snorkeling at Honaunau. We will be visiting Kona again next year and will try to book this same condo.

Diane was a great host, and was available for any questions. The condo was clean and very well equipped, all the beach toys and towels we could have needed. The master bedroom/bath was large and comfortable. The only thing I wish I had realized when booking was that the 2nd bedroom, is only separated from the kitchen by a vertical blind. And the livingroom by sliding doors. My teenagers would have liked a little more privacy.....I would highly recommend the condo and would definitely Italy rent it again.

I stayed for 13 nights - first trip to the Big Island.
I LOVED hanging out on the lanai with the geckos and taking in the view - lovely property landscaping backed by golf course backed by endless ocean!
This property had everything I needed, is extremely well set up. It was clean & comfortable and management was perfect - available and communicated the perfect amount. The location is really great! It’s an easy walk down to the Wednesday Market (you also can enjoy the live music from there laying out on the lanai) and to the marina where I took a Fair Wind snorkeling cruise - I highly recommend! It’s also a quick drive to stores, restaurants and other amenities.
Fyi - it seemed like most units in this condo complex are full time residents so the energy is definitely of a home vs resort-like. There’s work occurring during the day in the area along with the associated noise - ie landscaping (both condo and golf course) and other projects, pest control spraying, etc. Not obtrusive but might be nice to know. It’s quite at night.
I felt very safe (single female traveler). If I were describing this place in a couple words I’d say comfortable with a stunning view - exactly what I wanted. I definitely recommend staying here. Enjoy!

This attractively-decorated ground-floor condo had plenty of space for us two Senior couples, a fully-equipped and well-stocked kitchen, plus a pleasant lanai. The location near Ali'i Drive is convenient for driving to stores, beaches, and attractions but also makes night traffic noise inevitable. Unusually hot & humid weather during our stay made us wish for air conditioning, not just the ample ceiling fans, until we figured out the improvement made by closing windows and lowering lanai blinds during the day. We also appreciated the owner's recommendations on activities and shopping.

Well, nothing to complain. Contact with the owner quite quick and easy. Checkin instruction provided in advance and good enough. With polish climate we were afraid about missing Air-co, but in the end it was not needed - we were beg of Oct and open windows and fans were good enough. Location pretty good, but car recommended, nearest shoping centre ar 1km. Beach (white sand) around 4km. Kailua, nearest city centre ar 15' by car. Summarising, if we will visit Kona we to stay int this place again.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Nice open floor plan and the two bathrooms were handy. Unique pull down bed in living room area worked out just fine for our needs and we were surprised by how well equipped the unit was with everything we needed for our stay. Towels, beach towels, laundry soap and dryer sheets, tissues, tp, kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and all sorts of utensils. We were really surprised about how well stocked it was. The only one potential negative was that although the unit was well equipped with many floor and ceiling fans it was still very hot. The pool was so nice to cool off in and is just across from the unit.

This is really a very comfortable condo with a beautiful view of the ocean. The unit was very well-equipped as well in the kitchen as regarding washer/dryer or beach items and towels. It was also very clean. The unit is quite spacious. Even if the Murphy bed is out, you can still enjoy the living room and lanai, as well as the kitchen and dining area (anyhow it´s much nicer to sit on the lanai). Both bathrooms are spacious and inviting. The pool is heated and not much frequented and a good option for a jump in when you come back from your activities. Although the unit does not have AC, the temperature was no problem for us with ceiling fans in all areas. Bonnie was an excellent host. The communication was very easy and responsive. Check-in via the lock box was easy.
To put it in a nutshell: We really enjoyed our stay and can definitely recommend Bonnies place.

First let me say that the view is beautiful and the unit was the most well-equipped place we have every stayed in through VRBO. It has a huge kitchen with everything you would need to fully cook at home. Also many beach items and towels. It was also very clean.
However...the communication situation was terrible. We were not sent the final email with the codes to the lockboxes and VRBO did not have the information either. Numerous attempts to reach the owner through phone calls, texts and emails went unanswered for over an hour. We were able to finally track down a manager-type person who had a phone number of someone else who should have the code. That person called us with the code. We were able to get into the unit an hour and a half after our check in time, and VRBO had almost moved us. It was 90 degrees out. The owner called AFTER we were in and sent the final email at that time. A couple of nights into the stay, a dog was yelping outside of our building for at least an hour. We went out after about 20 minutes, but no one else came to do anything. I called the two "emergency " numbers listed--one of which we were told was for building maintenance issues, and the other number no one answered. We got very little sleep that night.
And I would not stay in the summer season. The unit was listed as not having AC, so we were aware of that, but other reviews indicated it wasn't a problem. It was. It was upper 80's when we were there and did not cool off at night. The trade winds were still during that time and the brick building held the heat. There was no way to get the apartment cooled down. We couldn't be there in the later afternoon, and again, sleeping was miserable.
So, while it is well appointed and has a lovely view, we will not stay there again if we return to the Big Island.

From the welcoming treats to the easiness of the check-out progress, we felt at home from day 1.
Many amenities made our stay great.
All kinds of kitchen utensils and swimming/beach supplies.
We had no issues with noise.
The only reason I comment is that some posted in other reviews.
The mowing of grass on the golf course was in my opinion very minimal.
No noise from neighbors above, so it may be a hit and miss depending on who rents the unit, assuming it is rented.
Highly recommend!

The condo was overall great perhaps the best I have ever stayed at. Clean, well stocked with everything you need. Close to Keauhou Shopping center. The only downside was that it is west facing and the living room gets really warm during the late afternoon. A better set of lanai shades or black out shades would help and this would be a perfect condo!!

I wish I could have extended my stay for the rest of my contract. Damon and Eric are the best hosts. They have thought of everything to make this stay easy and accommodating. For a work trip this had complete kitchen, washer dryer, space to work from home if needed. For those vacationing, which I got to experience on weekends, was even better. The view is amazing. I plan to return in the future! Mahalo!

I enjoy staying in Keauhou, so the condo was a perfect location for me. The unit has a soothing view of the golf course & the ocean. Stairs at my age (68) is not easy but it was very doable. The grounds are pleasant & the people friendly. I'm familiar with the area so finding Akahi & the instructions for accessing the unit were easy. During Covid it was a great choice to have a place of my own. I think you will find traffic & coqui noise on most of the island. Holly was easy to reach & helpful.

This is a good place to stay near Kona. It is as described with a comfortable bedroom and a murphy bed in the living room where our kids slept. The only things we didn't love about it were it's not walkable to anything and some of the people in the condo weren't the friendliest. The HOA rules were somewhat cumbersome (lots of threats of your car being towed and no jumping in the pool) but overall, we were happy and would stay here again.

This was the 3rd time my fiance & I have stayed with them. Eric & Damon's condo is an amazing place. They provide everything you will need for a relaxing, comfortable stay. They are the best hosts I have ever had staying at a vacation rental. Their hospitality is a true Aloha experience. Mahalo🌺

We enjoyed the apartment. It’s in a central location for seeing the Kailua-Kona coast. It was very clean. The host was prompt and helpful with questions and recommendations. Our kids enjoyed the pool. There is some traffic noise, but quieted down in the evenings.

There is no elevator or AC in this 3rd floor condo, but it was not necessary during our stay as there are ceilings fans. Keep this in mind if you need cool to be comfortable.
The condo itself was charming with tons of amenities and in a great location. Unit was spacious and comfortable with a nice ocean from the balcony. Appreciated the quiet new washer/dryer. Appliances are in great condition.
We enjoyed the sounds of nature and the folks golfing right outside the balcony, but there is a significant amount of traffic noise during the day.
Heavily use boat launch and kayak club practice as well as two resorts at the end of the road. Generally between 11pm and 6am, it is fairly quiet and peaceful. However there are times during the day where there is vehicle traffic and road noise.
There was an issue with the cleaners before we arrived which the owner addressed quickly and appropriately.
Overall the condo is very nice and conveniently located for the things we wanted to do. Would recommend (with the caveats already mentioned) and rebook in the future.

My 4 friends and I stayed here for 14 days, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The price, the location, and condo are really great. The people in the surrounding condos are very nice, as is everyone in Hawaii. Stan was a great host, quick to reply and easy going. Kona is a gorgeous island, especially if you know good locations. Our group had local friends we could rely on. But most places you find to go online will be awesome too! Couldn’t recommend more! This condo has everything provided that you would need. Loved it!

This is a very comfortable condo with a stunning view. Although it did not have AC, the temperature was pleasant with ceiling fans in all areas. The kitchen was well equipped. Pool is almost like having a personal one since very few used it. The location was perfect for us since the shopping center with grocery store was close and my husband walked to Keauhou Bay to take a snorkeling trip on the Fairwinds. It could do with some minor refurbishments, e.g., new pillows, new towels, etc.

We have visited The Big Island many times, plus Maui, Oahu, and Kauai. TBI is our favorite, and we have stayed in condos from Waikoloa to Keauhou. This condo has an excellent location (we could walk to the snorkel boat) for quick access to Kailua-Kona as well as Keauhou and Kealakekua. The condo is super clean (and I’m picky!), and the kitchen is well-equipped, with plenty of nice pots and pans, utensils, a good thermal carafe coffee pot, stainless steel appliances, and a few kitchen staples. We were happy to have A/C in the bedroom, along with a few fans to get the air circulating.
The property manager (owner?) was very responsive to questions, and everything was in great condition.
The condo is in a very quiet, peaceful complex, with a lovely (also very clean) pool, has beach and pool towels, as well as beach chairs and beach umbrella. The view from the lanai is of the garden below, golf course, and ocean. With the table on the lanai, we ate our breakfasts soaking-in the view and listening to the birds. The lanai was also a beautiful place to view the sunsets.

Quiet, out of the way which is what I was going for but super easy to get anywhere within 5-10 min. The condo was very clean and was stocked with everything I needed! The property was very well maintained with beautiful landscaping . I enjoyed the pool, sitting on the deck and the air conditioning unit in the bedroom was a game changer at night! if you can do stairs, the condo is up 2 1/2 levels, I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thanks for a great stay!!

We really enjoyed our week long stay. It was clean and comfortable. The view of the ocean is spectacular. It’s a good quiet location. It’s easy to get to Kona and other parts of the island, but it’s not in the middle of the chaos. The pool is very nice. It’s easy to get to the surrounding beaches as well.
This condo does not have air. We worried at first, but truthfully the air conditioning was not needed. The nice temperatures and the wind kept us comfortable.
We loved the Manta Ray Night Snorkel through Sea Paradise and the Luau which both occur right down the road at the Outrigger hotel.
If we return to Hawaii we will try to stay here again.

Diane was a breeze to communicate with. Any needs that arose she got them taken care of immediately.
The home is well stocked, the fridge, spices, and paper products.
The cleaning could have been kicked up a notch. All the surfaces you touched had been cleaned. Under the beds and couches was quite a bit of dust and particles. In between dresser drawers and bathroom drawers there was a build up of dust.
The road noise from the master bedroom is loud and carries right inside the windows. Also the trash and yard service ran twice in one week which was a lot of noise early as well.
This was a great spot that took care of us for the week.

We are leaving today - our experience has been amazing. This place is outfitted with everything anyone would need. The Murphy bed is out of the way, so you can still enjoy the living room and lanai, as well as the kitchen and dining rooms, while it’s out and in use. Both bathrooms are spacious and inviting. The pool is heated and we actually opted to just come back and jump in there versus the ocean because it’s warm and has an ocean view. The views from the lanai are insane, we saw whales, rainbows and lots of awesome boats. We are very pleased with our stay and will keep this as a favorite from now on!

Very relaxing and pleasant. We drove to the Volcano which was long and tedious but worth the time. Many changes since I was there about in 1972. At that time you walked a long way very close to the edge while this time you were quite a way from the actual boiling lava. The 2018 eruption changed the area drastically. I warn people to bring a flashlight and raincoat with them if planning on walking down the trail at point 5. The only hitch was I locked the door the first night and then could not open it. I called the site manager about my situation and we were able to get it unlocked I called him to let him know not to come but actually left the message and talked to a person from Portland. Weird because my phone showed the caretakers nam on it.very pleased .

We enjoyed our two-day stay here. The apartment was clean and stocked. The view of the ocean is as shown. The host responded quickly to all questions and the residents at the complex were friendly. There was plenty of room for 3 of us. There was some noise in the morning (mowing at the golf course, traffic) but this is out of the congested Kona area. Easy parking and access to market.
