We enjoyed our stay. The ocean view was nice, and the area is convenient to places we like to visit.

Location is great, a few miles away from the center of Kona. Quiet area for the most part, be aware that the golf course crew starts early. Third floor view is great to see the sunset and just sit and relax. The condo was clean and spacious for us. We recommend and would rent again on a return trip.

The photos really don't do justice to how nice this place is. Modern, but not too modern so you still feel like you're in Hawaii. Very comfortable King bed. Clean white fluffy towels. Plenty of everything for the beach - towels, coolers, chairs and snorkel equipment.
Finding the place and check is in was easy - Eric and Damon gave very detailed instructions.
The kitchen was fully equipped to do all the cooking we wanted and the BBQ was really nice to have. They even supplied small appliances like a rice cooker and crock pot. Basic essentials were also provided like coffee, salt and pepper, cooking oil, etc. The hosts even offered to get a few groceries for us as we were arriving late.
Air conditioning in the bedroom was perfect for sleeping. You don't need it otherwise. The lanai was lovely for watching the sunsets.
The pool was quiet and we enjoyed having a swim to cool off at the end of the day.
Yes, it is on a golf course so you can expect to hear the occasional lawn mower or golfer teeing off early in the morning but that did not bother us at all.
Thank you Eric and Damon for being amazing hosts. We will 100% stay here again next time we visit.

Loved this condo! The view and outdoor space were wonderful and the extra provisions supplied in the condo were very helpful for our visits to the beach. Also, Trent was an excellent host and he responded to our questions promptly. Highly recommend this place!

Trent and Debbie’s condo exceeded our expectations. From the condo layout, the cleanliness, the view from the lanai, and the location, we could not have been more pleased. We really enjoyed our morning coffee and evening beverages on the lanai. The view of the sunset over the ocean from the lanai was spectacular on some of the nights. Thank you for sharing your place with us.

Located just South of town. Convenient access off main highway. Top floor, great view. Four-building complex. Large living space including dining and living area. King bedroom and Murphy bed felt like 2nd BR. Overall Clean and well decorated. Attractive outdoor lanai with cooking grill and sink. Completely furnished kitchen and two bathrooms. Also, beach chairs and towels were a great addition. Full laundry was convenient, too.

The view from the lanai is breathtaking and worth the 3 flights of stairs! The condo was very clean, had nice towels, and had a sufficiently stocked kitchen. We appreciated having beach towels, chairs, and an umbrella to use. We would happily stay again and look forward to another visit soon!

Property has great view to enjoy from Lanai. We were only there for 2 nights so didn’t get to take in all the area has to offer.

The condo was stocked with everything we could have needed. Watching the sunsets from the lanai every evening was the best part. Communication with Stan was great and easy. He was very helpful to help us plan our trip and answer any inquiries during our stay.
The listing does mention there is two double sofa beds and one double bed but there are only two double sofa beds. They aren’t the comfiest beds, but it did the trick for our vacation.
We were glad we read the other reviews and brought ear plugs with us… those frogs are REALLY loud.
Overall, we really enjoy staying here, Stan was a pleasure to deal with and we would stay again.
February 2024
The condo was just the place we were looking for. Simple, yet cozy and comfortable. Just as pictured. The bed was very comfortable and the sunset views were beautiful from the balcony. Not too far from town and close to beaches. My husband and I would definitely stay here again!

This is a great property if you want to be in this area of the big island. View is stunning. We pretty much lived on the lanai. Whale watching and golf course watching. A few minor flaws but overall a great condo

Great location, fantastic views, very quite condo complex. Unit had everything we needed and then some. Only issue we had the tile floor was filthy and walls and door frames were dirty, spent some time wiping door frames off around all the door nobs. We did enjoy our 4 weeks here and would return.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. The location was just perfect for all the things we did and the setting on the golf course looking out at the ocean was beautiful. We were on the go a lot but found ourselves lingering longer and longer on the lanai with either our morning coffee or evening cocktails. The king size bed was comfortable and there are two full bathrooms in the unit. We have stayed in many VRBO units and we found this one to be exceptionally well stocked. The kitchen has spices, staples, paper towel, plastic wrap and any cooking utensil you might need. It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer in the unit. The pool is on the small size but a real bonus on a hot day. There are lots of windows and fans so we were very comfortable without a/c. We would not hesitate to stay again if we are blessed enough to be able to come back to Hawaii!

Eric and Damon are great hosts and offer a very well-equipped condo. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, including really nice pots and pans. The washer, dryer, and drying rack on the lanai were very welcome, as were the beach chairs, sunbrella, boogie boards, beach towels, coolers, ice packs…. The Keauhou Shopping Centre is only a few minutes drive away, so very handy for groceries, restaurants and other shops. The pool is great to cool off after a day exploring the island, and usually pretty quiet. We wish we could have stayed longer. Returning to Alaska winter was a rude awakening!! Highly recommend.

We like this complex and have stayed here before. This unit has an amazing ocean view, a comfortable bed, and a decent kitchen. We really like the location of the complex. Comfortable furniture, a nice pool, friendly neighbors, and clear information are things we enjoy. This place has all. Although we didn't need them, they have a well stocked cupboard of beach stuff!

Our Condo was spacious with a beautiful view from the Lanai. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishware, utensils and spices galore! Laundry soap provided by past guests. The owner had a guestbook which provided a wealth of information from past guests. (We signed it too!) No A/C but plenty of ceiling fans kept us comfy. Nice pool and golf course on site. Highly recommend!

keep in mind most condos in Kona are older. This is no exception. But, It is well maintained. We had a pleasant stay except for road noise. It was hot and humid during early November 2023. We had to keep windows open all night for it to cool off. Road noise from Alii Highway was excessive in our mind. Great location to access Keauhou Bay.

Could not have imagined a more welcoming space to inhabit! The views were spectacular, the unit was spacious and clean, and the location was central to all our activities. We would happily stay again but found it is solidly booked for many months ahead! Understandable, but sadly not a well kept secret LOL

This was the first time my husband and I visited the Big Island. We were there for the Ironman World Championships. Our stay at Kona Vacay was wonderful!! We can't say enough about how great Damon and Eric were as our hosts. Most of our communication was with Damon since Eric was out of town with family. From the very start, Damon made us feel very welcome. He greeted us when we arrived and showed us around the place and how to use everything. The place itself was excellent and just as described. We liked the fact that it was a little bit away from all the hustle and bustle but close enough to get to everything in Kona. Damon was great with communication and was able to give us advice on places to eat and things to do. We highly recommend staying at Damon and Eric's place. If we are fortunate enough to return to the Big Island, we would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for welcoming us into your place!!

We chose this property because friends were staying in the same complex. Nice but expensive. Very comfortable for 2 people, relaxing, and well equipped. No A/C, Distant from everything in Kona, Birds chirp loud all night which didn't bother us, but others may want to avoid this problem.

stayed in Kona for a weekend. would have liked to know that unit was up several flights of steps. But had lots of extras such as laundry soap for doing laundry. great communication with owner. good location. free parking. would be good to know where the actual unit is (park near the end othe parking lot by the poot, unit is in last building mauka side, up first set of stairs). very clean. a/c would help.

Everything about this property was perfect. The location was ideal - within walking distance to the beach, shopping area and free shuttle into Kona. The setting was perfect - beautiful view of the golf course and ocean, the amenities in the condo were great - from kitchen supplies and appliances, to washing machine/dryer and beach chairs/umbrellas for use as well as 3 pools. Comfortable beds with 2 bathrooms which was perfect for our group. We were here for the Kona ironman, and the everything exceeded our expectations - would definitely recommend this property to anyone else travelling to Kona. We were friends staying here, but would also be great for families with the 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and the pools on site.

Our second stay at this apartment, even better than the first time in 2019 as we stayed longer! Great communication with hosts, no fuss booking and check in. We LOVE this location, although best to have a car. Spacious apartment, everything you need, snorkelling gear and body boards, beach chairs, coolers, beach towels, the hosts even bought us a beach umbrella. We ate on the lanai for every meal. New Air Conditioning unit in the bedroom, although we did not use it as love the ceiling fans and open windows and doors throughout. The pool in this complex is the best...clean, clear, mostly quiet, warm shower and plenty of chairs, loungers and umbrellas. Even a book lending library at the pool! We don't mind the early starts from the golf course workers and golfers, as the views and privacy from the lanai are awesome. Walks around coast and golf course. Close to supermarket and shopping centre, and walking distance to harbour and twice weekly market. Easy drive to Kona, 25 minutes to airport. THANK YOU :)

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.

Beautiful place, wonderful amenities!
Just be aware, the place does not have any AC (it is listed as no central air, but be aware there is no ac unit whatsoever).
Also, the property has very strict rules, and some residents were very unfriendly towards us over them. On our first night moving in, we had a neighbor yell at us for rolling our luggage in because we were being too loud. We additionally were given notes from the property about not being able to have a phone call on our lanai and backing in to the parking spot in which they threatened to contact our property manager.
Overall, this place was beautiful, very clean, and had many things that helped our vacation go smoothly (coolers, chairs, towels, etc). We absolutely loved the place itself. However, the strictness of the rules and the unfriendliness of neighbors made us feel very unwelcome as paying guests.
