There was no Internet, no AC unit needs new shades. The ceiling was peeling. There was also a cockroach in the tub the second day.

Our stay here was just perfect! The community is quiet, centrally located, well-equipped, and comfortable. The view of The Outrigger and Keauhou Bay is wonderful and being a short walk to the marina and market was a game changer for us. Plenty of towels, the bed is comfy, good water pressure, the grill and beach accessories… the list goes on! The pictures are accurate, the pricing appropriate, and we will definitely stay here again next year.

Eric was a great host and the condo had everything we needed. The furniture was all comfortable and sitting on the deck is very relaxing.

Kitchen was decently equipped but some pots were not clean had food residue and smelled awful. Location was convenient to most tourist areas and also close to market and restaurants. Also had nice view of sunset from pool area and pool was close by across from home. Home had towels and linens and 2 bathrooms was a plus and having laundry was great too and washer and dryer were in good condition . They provided beach towels , snorkeling supplies and beach gear for all age group .

This is a really great little unit. We had enough space for our 17yo and 18yo along with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay. You can stay here without a car, as we did, but you have to be happy to walk 20ish minutes to the shops. The free bus is good, but a little variable in its timetable! Diane was very helpful and responsive to our questions. Check in was easy.

We couldn't have asked for a better overall stay at this property in Kona. The location was convenient and the home was clean and in good shape. The vacation rental management staff was professional, communicative, responsive, and helpful before and during our trip. We would definitely make a return trip to this property. Thanks Much for a memorable experience.

Positives:Host was very accommodating with information and reservation changing. Very responsive in communication.Location GREAT!Parking GREAT!View from patio GREAT!Easy Check in/outMaster bedroom bed is comfortable.Needs improvements/updating:Bathrooms need to be updated/maintained; paint chipping from ceiling and MOLD in first bathroom.Bathroom rugs oldBathroom door coming apart (taped up because wood coming off door)Blinds in master room missing and coming off.Old and dirty placemat on night stands (never replaced/cleaned) Patio chairs old/dirtyPatio doors DO NOT LOCK (security issue)Ants and roaches in kitchenNeeds to have two sets of keysVery load street noise (windows NEED to remain open for airflow and to cool off space with no AC) so street noise begins early morning to late evening.Apartment needs to be updated ESPECIALLY THE BATHROOMS we should NEVER see MOLD and CHIPPING Paint from the ceiling (health hazard)Unsure of WHY there is a mandatory security deposit?? The furniture is old (what can be broken worth a security deposit?) this is barrier and should be removed.

The condo was nicely updated with new kitchen and bathrooms. Everything was very clean, kitchen well appointed with everything we needed. Beds were beyond comfortable!! Beach chairs, cooler, water bottles were nice to have. Extra bottles of shampoo, conditioner, aloe vera, lotion, face wash under bathroom vanities. The whole complex is pretty quiet and chill and it was nice the assigned parking space was right by the unit. The pool is small but has plenty of chairs and was a nice clean space to use. Couple things to note: 1) second bedroom wall to the living space is not solid, it's sort of like shutters for air flow so it's not super quiet or private and 2) the unit is close to a main road and the traffic noise is fairly constant. It was hard for me to get used to it, but perhaps I am just overly sensitive to that. The windows need to be open for air flow (no AC) making the noise unavoidable. Overall it was a nice stay and great value!

The condo was nestled in a beautiful condo community with pool and minutes walk from a small boat harbor where manta ray frequent and the ocean water so clear that you can see the bottom to the sand, while may species of fish swim by. The property is on the Kona side of the island and was on a slight hill, allowing you to admire the sunset on the ocean from a short distance from the shore, while palm trees sway in the distance. The condo was clean, cute, and the patio offered an amazing view of the golf course as you look out on the ocean horizon. The property was well maintained, as well as the property grounds. The staff were attentive and kept the property very clean, and the grounds keeping was well kept. The property was filled with plumeria trees, monstera, tea leaves, and many native plants found only on Hawaii.

There was a beautiful landscape including the well groomed golf course in front of the ocean view visible from the patio of our condo. There was no a/c but the well placed ceiling fans and cool ocean breeze was all the a/c needed. We took advantage of the unique windows that allow for the cool breezes but kept out the bugs and insects. It was a bit of a drive into the town of Kona but well worth having the quiet of the area that we were at. I would definitely stay there again.

We arrived to find the condo prepared for us and as described. Being on the top floor of three it can become warm, but for us the several fans and on-shore breeze provided the cooling needed. The lanai was great and we made good use of it. The bed and seating were comfortable.However, I'll mention that one of the four chairs on the lanai was in need of repair to the seat, so hopefully that will be done in time for the next guest's arrival.The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, glasses, and the usual etc. But the utility knives are badly in need of sharpening with a tool that does more serious work than the normal hand-held sharpener that is included in the knife block.We didn't see this mentioned in earlier reviews, so we want to say "thanks" for the presence in the bathrooms of small shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer and bar soap.We enjoyed having the geckos with us, both inside and outside.Not much was needed from the CB folks, although one pre-arrival request was acted upon promptly and professionally, and upon departure had a very pleasant brief encounter with the cleaning lady.Yes, we would stay at this condo again.

The communication from the property management was very helpful. They were also very prompt to answer any questions. The condo was perfect for our needs. We attended a wedding at the nearby Outrigger resort which was a five minute walk. The condo had a spacious master bedroom with bath. The second bed was a murphy bed in the common area which had a folding wall for privacy. The condo was well equipped with a full kitchen, beach towels, chairs, and umbrella. Be aware that this condo requires the ability to climb stairs to the top floor. There is no elevator. The best part of the stay was enjoying the spectacular views from the lanai. We would definitely stay here again.

This place was perfect, I was close to a wedding at the Outrigger without the Outrigger price! This was much more spacious than illustrated in photos, great space and ideal layout! The property was relaxing and quiet, and I loved the pool and balcony! Had to watch out for a few lizard friends trying to break in :). No issues, and great communication and recommendations from Stan! It would be a pleasure to stay here again!

We had the most amazing time on the Big Island and part of it was due to our amazing stay here! The unit was stocked well, and we loved the coffee sample they gave us so much that we went and bought a full size bag to take home with us! The view was absolutely stunning, and my husband and I were already talking about coming back and staying again. The location was convenient to everything, but quiet and out of the hustle and bustle of town. There is no central AC but you really don’t need it with all the fans, and the ability to open the windows and let the ocean breeze in! Thank you for an incredible stay!

Great condo in a great location! We were here during the tsunami evacuation and were very glad we didn’t need to evacuate as we were just outside the evacuation zone! Definitely made this location more desirable in that situation! The view from the lanai is beautiful! There can be a little road noise at times as it is close to Alii Drive but we felt it was mostly quiet and peaceful here and we very much enjoyed our stay.

This property was perfect for our family of two adults and two teens. Everything was very well stocked, especially in the kitchen, and we appreciated that there were plenty of towels and a cooler we could take on our day trips. The pool was also fantastic. We were extremely happy with our stay!

We had a lovely stay here. The grounds are beautiful and the pool is great. The location is excellent because it’s right in the middle of Kailua and Kona. Everything is relatively close, but you still feel like you’re out of the super busy areas in a nice quiet neighborhood. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. We only had to purchase one item (they had run out of dish detergent for the dishwasher).There were a couple of minor issues we encountered and Diane was very helpful and very understanding. To explain further, we lost something of theirs and were never able to find it. I offered to replace it and pay for anything they might need to fix our mistake. Diane was so understanding and told me not to worry about it. I was very grateful to have such an understanding host.The only reason I gave a 4 star on cleanliness is there were a couple of things that got missed from their cleaning staff before our arrival. I gave Diane the feedback on that and she was very receptive.If you’re considering this place to stay, I highly recommend it!

The Keauhou Akahi was a great place to stay in a great area with a beautiful view of the ocean. The unit was very comfortable and equipped with everything you’d hope it would have - cold a/c and washer and dryer were particularly useful and the furnishings itself were stylish and homely. It’s evident that the owners of the property care about their units and take great care in maintaining it. I felt very at home and would book again without question!

Nice accommodations. Excellent communication with host. Amenities excellent. Disappointing that even with using the bug light in the dining area and bug spray on the lanai screen gnats, flies, moths, and mosquitos still got inside requiring constant cleaning. It was also confusing that the pool key was separate from the rest of the keys and instructions stating where it was were one sentence in the middle of a paragraph on the unit instructions.

We loved every thing about this property. It has beautiful views, quiet neighborhood, and a great location. The kitchen was very well stocked, had more than we needed. Everything in the condo was clean, well organized and labeled. Loved the magnifying mirrors in each bathroom. Plenty of beach equipment, beach bags, ice chests and towels. Nothing lacking! If we come back to the big island, we would definitely stay here again.

The property was just as pictured and described, maybe even nicer. Very well appointed, fully stocked kitchen, beach equipment, comfortable furniture and bedding. Loved having a full size washer and dryer. The view and sunsets were beautiful. We enjoyed dining and hanging out on the lanai. The pool is on the smaller side but the water temp was great and there are plenty of loungers and chairs. Parking spot is very close to the unit and there are just a few stairs to access the unit. The way the buildings are designed provides a lot of privacy and we couldn’t hear neighbors through the walls/ceiling. The bedroom had a portable a/c unit, but we never used it. Using the ceiling fans and opening the windows kept the unit at a comfortable temperature. It’s a short drive to Kailua Kona and lots of restaurants and shops. We’d definitely recommend this unit for a couple or small family and we’d definitely stay here again.

Bottom line, the unit is an awesome vacation home away from home, with everything you’ll need and more. Five stars for the fully equipped kitchen complete with condiments and other useful items; fresh linens on the beds; 2 super clean bathrooms with hair dryers, extra towels, shampoos, and bathing soaps, extra sets of keys and the folder of information for starters. We especially liked the paintings on the wall. Thank you for your hospitality.

This is by far one of the best properties to stay while in Keauhou. It had everything we needed for making meals, relaxing, and watching the sunsets from the lanai. Very close to Keauhou Bay for water activities and grocery store was nearby.

The condo was clean, nice appliances and we’ll appointed kitchen, comfortable beds and sofa. The pool was beautiful and just steps away. The shopping center is a 10 minute walk and has periodic entertainment, good food, movie theater, farmer’s market, grocery, drug store, etc. A 10 minute walk in the other direction gets you to the ocean front for beautiful sunsets. April, the manager, is attentive and returns your emails promptly. I would definitely stay here again.
