Wonderful stay as usual! Our third time at this property for many reasons: Beautiful, spacious, clean and equipped with everything you need and beyond! Location is fantastic, easy to reach shops, restaurants and gorgeous beaches. A special thanks to Brian who, once again, made sure that our stay would be perfect with his attention to details and superb customer service.
Thank you for everything.

I had a week-long stay in this unit. I loved the vibe of it!! The location is amazing and everything you need to make your trip fun was available.
The pier where you can swim is within walking distance, a grocery store, cool famers marker on set days, most of the activities you might book and great areas for walking, running or biking.
Book this sweet spot in Kona!!

Wait til you see the view from all parts of this gorgeous condo in a super area. Each night the sunsets are right in front of you. Then you can enjoy dinner cooked in the impeccably provisioned kitchen out on the deck and tuck in to the comfy beds after a long day in Kona. The beauty also lies in the beautiful, artful decor and the well arranged living area with huge TV and stereo music. There is so much to do and all activities are so close by. The pool and snack bar are super nice and you can play golf all day long at the course w/in walking distance. Don't forget to play on the beautiful tennis courts or work out in the complete mini gym. For a dinner out you can walk across the street up to a shopping area with awesome restaurants or drive into Kona proper and choose from many great dining experiences. Just walking along and shopping you can see the incredible ocean. Or come back the next day to surf or kayak at the beach in town. The owners are very responsive and one can tell that they are very eager to make your vacation perfect!

This place was perfect for us. Group of 5 (2 older teens, 3 adults). Beautiful location, easy to find, quiet, parking was great. Everything we needed was included. Management and maintenance were fantastic to deal with. There was beach towels and gear available which was super convenient. Highly recommend this place!

Location-good. Condo could have been cleaner, only minimally clean. Dirt under furniture, ceiling fans dirty, bathtub could have been cleaner. Not enough towels (only 2 hands & 2 washcloths. Some were stained and dingy. People friendly. Could be a nice condo, but needs care. Pool sometimes closed. Water cloudy. Yard work very noisy. Wouldn't stay again.

This condo has it all! With breathtaking ocean views, beautiful sunsets, and a large lanai, you can relax and take in all the 'Aloha' Plus the most comfortable lounge chairs, that you never want to get out of. Since this unit is an upper corner unit condo, it is light and bright with windows all along one side, plus the two french doors leading out to the lanai, and high ceilings, creating a very open feel. Situated on the top floor (but only one flight of stairs from the parking area), you will never hear footsteps from the other units or hear your neighbors, so it is very private. The shopping center across the street is very convenient, with great restaurants (Kenichi Sushi happy hour is our favorite!), grocery store, Longs drugstore and even movie theaters. The location is a short 15 minutes to downtown Kona, but quieter than being in town. The unit itself, is very nicely decorated, but feels like you are at home. Resort amenities are super convenient, with pools, jacuzzis, tennis and pickleball courts and even a poolside bar/restaurant, featuring live music every night. With a well stocked kitchen, BBQ on the lanai, comfortable beds, and beautiful bathrooms, you will never want to leave this slice of heaven.

Came to the island for our son’s wedding and stayed here for an additional 11nights following the wedding ceremony. Really enjoyed this location as it had great amenities onsite and was a great place to use as a home base while we explored the island. The kitchen had many supplies on hand and the cookware was amazing. Will definitely look to stay here again.

This home is truly exceptional! Its location is perfect, situated close to town yet away from the crowds, with a convenient shopping center just across the street. The host has left no stone unturned in ensuring every aspect is flawless. Our absolute favorite feature was the Lanai, offering mesmerizing views of the Pacific Ocean and unforgettable sunsets. The property exudes a comforting, peaceful serenity with its charming decor, creating a truly homely atmosphere that's hard to come by elsewhere. The amenities provided an extra touch of luxury, from the tennis and pickleball courts to the multiple pools and jacuzzis, enabling us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the surroundings. Needless to say, we're already eagerly counting down the days until our next visit!

Clean comfortable stay. The deck was very nice both upstairs and downstairs. For the most part it was clean although the kitchen is probably 30+ years old needs a cleaning an renovation. Very quiet.
On the first night we flipped on the lights to have a six inch centipede scurrying around the bathroom floor my wife just about came out of her skin. I grabbed it with a washcloth and threw it out. The next morning, I went up to the office which was closed but there was a guy sitting on the deck next door he said he was associated with the complex. Nicely I mentioned to him about the centipede and of course I got the talking down to mainlander spiel that on the islands it's a rainforest and i need to just expect it. He said they spray, and it probably wouldn't happen again. Funny I've been to the islands 4 times and have never had to deal with this giant bug problem anywhere I've stayed. That night coming back stepped on a scorpion going down the steps to the lower area, small one maybe an inch, and then same thing that night 4-inch centipede on the bathroom floor. I attempted to crush it tough little dude took me 3 swats with my sandal to stun it and put it out. As you can imagine we wore sandals walking around for the remainder of our stay. The next morning headed up to the office and the same guy turned and walked away when he saw me coming.
It wasn't a bad stay although a bit adventurous there were geckos everywhere and they are really cool! Will try somewhere else next time.

The property was perfect for us and our adult son & girlfriend. The kitchen was well stocked and a good size which made cooking easy. The lanai and grill were enjoyed. This is a quiet condo community, located on a golf course. Brian was quick to respond to answer our questions. We would stay here again.

We had a bit of trouble finding the rental unit when we arrived late at night. But once we found it, the keypad worked like a charm and the unit was clean and as described.
The condo location is nice and convenient. The lanai looks out onto the golf course next door and we used the electric grill to prepare dinner a couple of evenings. We enjoyed the pool and morning walks to the nearby dock. The condo also had snorkels, fins, boogie board, beach chair, cooler, an umbrella that we borrowed for our trips to nearby beaches (King Kam beach was our family's favorite).
We have nothing bad to say about the unit itself, but the downstairs neighbor was a bit of a nightmare. He screamed at us the first morning as we were leaving for breakfast, accusing us of being too loud and stomping on the floors the night before. When he thought we were making too much noise, he banged on his ceiling to express his displeasure. Most nights, when we returned from our daily activities, he would leer at us from behind the screen door. He even yelled at my son for playing with his plants.
Admittedly, my kids can get a bit noisy and rambunctious at times. They did get a bit excited that first night when checking out our new place. But this jerk had seemingly zero tolerance for even a little bit of noise. It felt like we were walking on eggshells all week, and the dynamic definitely made our trip less enjoyable. Overall, it was a good place, but families should be warned about the jerk downstairs.

We absolutely loved this property. The unit was tastefully decorated, and very well stocked with everything we needed, including office supplies to get a little work done while we were there. They thought of everything. The view from the lanai was incredible. We enjoyed whale watching with our binoculars. The resort had several amenities that we took advantage of, gyms, pools, volleyball…. The resort is very well cared for. Overall this is one of if not our favorite place we have stayed.

We stayed at this property over Christmas. The property was exactly as described. It was perfect for our family of 5. The pull out beds in the living room were very comfortable for my teenagers.
The view from the large balcony was beautiful. We spent many mornings drinking our coffee and watching the sunrise. The host had many beach items (chairs, towels, shovels, umbrella, cooler) for our use. He was very responsive to any questions we had and was very helpful with suggestions for fun things to do!
The location was so convenient with a lovely shopping centre within walking distance. We would not hesitate to book here again or recommend it to friends!

Enjoyed my 8 day stay. Great peaceful location.
Quiet except for one night a stray cat selected my condo deck to howl most of the night. Heard a few days later the cat was relocated. Another evening a couple in a nearby condo recreated a Jerry Springer episode by yelling at one another late into the night. Fortunately they behaved the other nights.
Aside from those two incidents the place was great. Would stay there again. Sunset views from the deck were a treat each evening.

This is the second time we’ve rented this place and we love it. The property is quiet and friendly and the maintenance manager always welcomes us and gives us tips on places to visit.
The kitchen has every tool and spice needed. I enjoyed taking my coffee on the patio each morning as I was arched the birds on the golf course.
Plenty of towels for the unit and the beach. Beds are super comfy. Nice to have air conditioning in the master bedroom as it isn’t common here.
Owner is super nice and checked in when we arrived to make sure everything was ok.
Thank you!

This unit was so close to the pool! The pool was extremely quiet while we were there. In 8 days we shared the pool with 1 other person.
It is a VERY quiet complex. The set up of the unit is great for two or four people.
We had an issue with the plug-ins in both bathrooms not working. I found the panel box and tried to flip the breaker but it didnt work. I contacted the rental company who worked to get someone out to the unit same day but it ended up being the next day but it didnt stop us from doing what we had planned for the day. Issue was fixed. There is a split a/c unit so you can run both the bedroom a/c and or the living area a/c. If you like golf the view from the lanai was great. The setting sun can get hot on the lanai so the owners have installed pull down shades which helped a lot. The unit did have a lot of ants in the kitchen and baths and even with little ant traps they were everywhere but it is a tropical location so I was expecting it. Not sure how often those ant traps are changed out. Other than that the unit was fabulous! everything you could need was in the kitchen. And the unit has a small apartment sized washer/dryer in a hall way closet. I even found a bathroom scale! It also has an assigned parking spot.
I pick this unit again!!

This condo was a great home base for our ladies trip to Kona for the Ironman World Championship race (more details below).Overall, this property was spacious for 5 adults, and incredibly clean. Furniture seemed to be new, which was nice. We didn't really cook (not enough time), but the kitchen was well appointed and there were spices available to use. We did use the beach chairs in the deck box.Easy parking, and grocery store is just across the street to pick up snacks, drinks, poke bowls and other supplies.The pictures represent the property well. The complex also has a pool and restaurant (more of a cafe/bar where you can get drinks and burgers/snacks at the pool), which we enjoyed. Some free craft classes that you can sign up for - we enjoyed the lei making!Good communication from Knutson. We didn't need anything during the stay, so I can't comment about responsiveness to fixing an issue, but I don't think it would have been a problem. We did run out of toilet paper and had to buy more - the notes clearly state that you are only provided a starter supply - but toilet paper is so cheap, it would be nice if it was fully stocked.Just 5 miles south of Kona town, it was an easy drive or run into town for the Ironman festivities. Specific to Ironman race day, this location was perfect, as it is just a bit south of the run course, and Ali'i is closed on the course on race day. Since the property south, so you can still come and go on race day as needed.Would stay here again.

We loved our stay! The condo was super comfortable and had everything we needed! Both pools onsite were really nice and fun!
Most days we'd either swim in the pools onsite or walk down the hill and rent a little roadside Hawaii Bike and ride to the beach or into town.
The grocery store is a 5 minute walk, so it was easy to run up there to get whatever we needed!
We also golfed at the course that runs through the condos and it was AWESOME! I recommend!
It was fun and easy to stay there! Brian the host was great!

The location is a close walk to the water and to some shopping and the Saturday farmers market. Quiet neighborhood over looking the golf course just 20 minute drive to Kona. Clear instructions for arrival and check out at the end of our stay. We were told there weren't any beach chairs in the unit but there were 2 in the towel closest. Overall excellent place for a relaxing vacation.

We were glad to come back to this area. This unit is in the second floor and the building is across the pool. Which meant, that you can spend time on the balcony without worrying about the golf balls flying around. That was important to us. Building is next to the street but we had no issues with any noise from the road. We had a problem with the dishwasher and Paul took care of it and it was fixed fast. Air-conditioning was in each room, it was on the wall. It worked great and quietly. We love to stay in this area and will definitely come back here. This condo had everything, even the stuff for the beach. We enjoyed our stay and we recommend this.

There was no AC in this townhouse. It was a miserable experience to sleep in the hot house. We asked a property manager for an assistance and maybe a portable AC, which they told us they don't have and can't provide it. Let me say, several night sleeping in a hot house was an awful experience and I would not advise it to anyone. In a year 2023, I was thinking that in US everyone has AC's, I was wrong. This place doesn't!

We recently had the most unforgettable vacation in Kona, Hawaii, and it was all thanks to the incredible vacation rental we stayed in! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the spacious feel and beautiful amenities. Let's start with the view – It was simply breathtaking! The rental was perfectly positioned to offer a panoramic view of the turquoise ocean. Each morning, we woke up to the glorious site of the blue water, and every evening, we were treated to stunning sunsets that painted the sky in vibrant hues.The vibe of the place was pure relaxation and tranquility. The rental was nestled in a great spot, far from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas, which allowed us to unwind and relax but close to everything you would need within a short walk or few minute drive. As for comfort, it's hard to find the right words to describe how lavish and cozy the rental was. The interior design exuded a perfect blend of Hawaiian charm and modern elegance. The fully equipped kitchen allowed us to whip up delicious meals using fresh local produce, adding to the overall sense of home away from home. Not to mention, property had an array of amenities that felt like a private resort. The pools and tennis courts were amazing. This vacation rental in Kona, Hawaii, was nothing short of paradise. We truly had an unforgettable experience, and we cannot wait to return to this magical retreat. Whether you're seeking to experience Kona or just relaxation, this rental is the ultimate haven for an extraordinary vacation.

This place is amazing! Beautifully decorated. Air conditioners work well and fast to cool the place down. Spacious! Well stocked. Clean. so comfy and relaxing. The community offers free classes you can partake in such as lei making, art class, etc. for the whole family to participate in. The pool and pool bar drinks... lots of fun for adults and kids! Great sunset views. If I had to list a negative it would be for families with kids the unit is SO nice and VERY nicely decorated it could be a little nerve wrecking if have small or unruly kids, worried they might break something. Loved the unit will 100% come back and next time stay longer.

Location of this condo is very good, ocean view from upper floor lanai. The condo itself is very old, everything dated, no ac in unit. The worst thing is a lot of tropical bugs can enter condo. We tried to have everything closed, no food was left to atract these pests, but I guess the condo is old and they can find the way to enter. Other than this evening was good.

This condo was even better than we expected. We were surprised once we went into the condo on how spacious and well stocked it was with everything we needed.
The lanai was so nice to eat breakfast every morning and it was just a short walk to go see the sunset across the golf course which we went every time we were at the condo in the evening.
Adam was a great host as he replied very quickly to my messages and was very accomodating and understanding to all of our requests.
We would definitely stay at this condo if we do again to the Big Island. Mahalo Plenty!
