my onEverything was perfect! From sunset views, to the moon shining in at night! My wife cried because she had to leave. Perfect spot away from the crowds but not so far away it required a long drive to go out. Would recommend and definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful time on the Big Island and this was the perfect home base. It was convenient for our daily excursions and we enjoyed sitting on the ocean front chairs just a few yards from our door watching the sunset each evening. We could hear the waves crashing at night and the birds would wake us in the morning. The managers were very responsive and when we asked for fluffier pillows, brand new ones were delivered that day. The condo was very clean and comfortable with all necessary amenities, including a nice welcome bag, and beach chairs & umbrella for excursions. We used a phone app that had 5 different routes and suggested places to stop along the way. We enjoyed the variety of the island....from the erupting volcano, to lush rain forest trails and waterfalls, luaus, a chocolate tour, shopping, fun food stops, black sand beach, and breathtaking views. We were busy every day for 6 days and there is still so much to see and do. We will be back!

I loved staying here. It's clean, quiet, excellent location, easy self check-in & parking, quiet and efficient air conditioning, and you can hear the ocean from the bed. You can see the ocean from the little window in the shower. What's not to love? I want to stay here again.

Our second stay at this lovely condo. Nice location and very comfortable. Ground floor is nice for coming and going and was awesome for us as we barbecued every night. Really enjoyed the new smart tv for nightime entertainment with our streaming services. We will be back.

This property was the perfect place for our Hawaiian getaway. The location is superb. It’s close to town and within walking distance of many amenities like coffee shops, markets, restaurants, and shopping. The complex is oceanfront with a pool and private beach area. A great place to relax and enjoy the amenities. The condo was clean and well appointed. The owners were communicative and check in was a breeze. This is a property we would definitely return to.

My partner is having some health issues that limited our ability to leave the property as much as we normally would. He was so happy to sit on the lanai and watch the ocean on the days he couldn’t leave. We saw dolphins several times from the lanai and the sunsets were gorgeous. When he would nap during the day the beach out front was a great place for me to sit and read. You can hear the waves all the time but especially at night. We both slept so well, the bed is very comfy. It’s a cozy space but we felt very comfortable for the two weeks we were there. It’s an older complex but the grounds are well maintained, the grills are the best ones I’ve ever seen in Hawaii! We would stay again, happily.

The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. The location is convenient to all. The view alone is worth booking this unit. Management is always available for any questions or concerns. We have been coming to the island for over 10 years but only recently started renting and we will always use Knutson for our bookings.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our anniversary. We enjoyed drinking coffee and eating breakfast on the lanai while watching spinner dolphins off the coast. The beds were comfortable and the place had all the amenities we needed, including beach chairs and a cooler for beach excursions. The location could not be beat. We definitely can’t wait to come back to this piece of paradise!

Loved this condo and our stay! Host was extremely communicative, helpful, and kind. Wondeful having both the pool and the oceanfront right there; beautiful sunsets! Condo itself was very clean. So nice we were allowed to use provided items like the cooler, beach chairs, and boogie board! Would highlu recommend, and would certainly stay here again!

This was the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had. What you see is what you get, which isn’t always the case! It was VERY clean, stylish, and had everything we needed. Fresh flowers were waiting on the counter for us when we arrived. (Your cleaners do a great job!) AC units cool the rooms quickly. Other guests were quiet and respectful. Comfy bed and soft sheets. You can tell these folks care about their condo, because they use it too. LOCATION: We had a hard time choosing a location on the island, it’s so big with so much to do. But, I would 100% recommend this area. No swimmable beach out front, but you basically need to be at a big resort for that. The island is big (duh), and you are going to want to see it all anyway. Hop in that jeep. Incredible coffee with views is 15 minutes away (Sacred Grounds, Coffee Shack). Snorkel at two-step, and then find a beach to crash on for some afternoon sun. That’s how you Big Island!!

The property was perfect for us to get away and see and hear the crashing of the waves every day. The property had everything that we would need. It was relaxing to sit on the lanai every morning and to be so close to the water. Beautiful sunsets capped off our day. We highly recommend this property!

Upon entering the unit for the first time we were overcome with a smell which was a combination of sewage and perfume. That evening we went to turn on the A/C (only small unit above the bed) and it did not work. Pulled the plug and saw it and the outlet were burnt from arcing. (Come to find out later there is a switch for the A/C by the door).Also found the plug by the sink in the master was broken (pulled off the gang adaptor which fell apart and started working) and plug by kitchen sink nor working. Also did not have anything to wash dishes *no sponge or rag and no dishwasher detergent. Reported issues and bought plugin air fresheners for the sewage smell. Within a couple days we were notified a handyman would come out. Long and short of it2 days before end got diswashing pods, day before we left the toilet was reset taking care of the smell, electrical was never addressed.

We enjoyed my stay in the villa. It was very clean, comfortable, and had all the necessary accommodations (beach supplies, toiletries). It was nice having a functional kitchen with all the necessary tools. We also loved the quiet location, pool, and beach area overlooking the ocean. We had a very relaxing stay and hated to leave. We would highly recommend this property and its location.

Exactly as we anticipated our stay to be! Condo was clean, the owner incredibly responsive, right on the water where you can enjoy golden hour every night from your own private lanai! Easy short distance to Kona and some fantastic restaurants. Complex is quiet and relaxing and the grounds and pool were immaculate. Chairs and umbrellas both at the pool and also down on the sand near the water where you can relax and snooze with the sea and a great book! Thanks Christine for a fantastic stay in paradise- we will be back!!

The sunset view from the "beach" area was great. It was very relaxing to sit and hear the waves crash on the rocks as the sun goes down. This was the best part! The property is older and outside is well maintained. Pool is simple but clean, provided noodles for floating. Nice to have a designated parking spot. Unit was on the 2nd floor (no elevator) and a corner unit-best thing going for it. It needs TLC. It could be amazing with some maintenance and updating. Has an a/c unit in the living room only and lots of fans, which took time, but did cool the unit down for sleeping. Provided beach chairs-BUT they are old, rusted and ripped. Umbrella doesn't have a cover. Stove is old and rusted on the drawer, cabinets are chipped. Baseboards are rough-need painting or replacing. Worst part was dishes were not clean! Had to wash before using. Would help to have a dishwasher to be sure things are cleaned between guests. We spent the majority of our time on the lanai (doesn't match the picture) The property manager pushed to "welcome" us- not necessary.

I’m leaving a 5 star because we truly enjoyed being there and didn’t want to leave. We highly recommend staying at Elizabeth and James unit! We thank you James and Elizabeth for allowing us to stay in your home.My only complaint were the older resident's were not kind to small children (3 & 6 yr) being there.

The location and condition of this property was absolutely amazing. Hearing the rolling ocean through the bedroom windows while you sleep was so relaxing and being able to see and hear the ocean from the kitchen/living room areas, as well as the lanai was everything we'd hoped for on vacation. The Kona Isles property was well kept and overall the experience with other guests on the property was great. The bedroom windows are pool facing and the pool is very close to this unit, however, the pool activity noise was minimal and the "quiet" hours were very much respected. Highly recommend! We enjoyed eating at Jackie Rey's, Kai Eats, Papa Kona, Umeke's, and Kona Brew

The unit we rented was very clean and had everything you would need for your vacation. The property grounds were immaculate and well cared for. Close to town for restaurants and some shopping. We really appreciated the fact that this unit had air conditioning as a couple of our days were quite warm. The management company, Knutson and Associates checked in briefly during our stay to make sure everything was okay. Appreciated that. We would stay at this unit again.

This condo was exactly as described and more. Well appointed with all the creature comforts of home. Location on the 3rd floor gave you a pretty ocean view from the patio where we enjoyed our morning coffee and even some yummy poke for lunch. The grounds themselves are very clean and quiet even when full of guests. They also have a wonderful beach/sand area to watch the waves and BBQ on the available propane grills. This area has picnic tables in a concrete slab or lounge chairs on the sand. (There is no beach access here- swells are rough). The condo bedroom is bright and airy and enough for our stay. Well def stay here again on our next visit.

The pool area was beautiful and the beach area was immaculate and very nice to relax at. The tips about cooling off the room with the fan were very helpful. The hide a bed in the living room was actually one of the most comfortable ones I’ve ever slept on. All in all, we had a very positive experience and would recommend this to our friends.

Impressed by unit as soon as we walked in the decor: attractive furnishings, clean, organized, well-maintained, and properly stocked kitchen. Relaxing view from deck with lovely sunset views. Grounds and pool were cared for. Area was quiet for restful nights of sleep. Location provided easy driving to local sights. Would quickly sign up for any future visit to the Big Island.

We had a wonderful stay. The condo is very clean and well appointed. Very well maintained. We stayed with our five year old son and on the night we arrived the pull out couch had been set up with sheets and pillows already laid out. This was such a nice touch and very much appreciated after a long day of travel. The condo grounds are beautiful. Also very well maintained. The pool is nice. It was a bit busy in the afternoons, which we liked because our son had a couple of children to play with. But it was empty most mornings and evenings.Beautiful ocean front location, lovely to cook dinner at the bbqs and watch the sun set! James was very responsive when a question came up. Would definitely recommend for a couple or small family. We would stay again when we visit Kona. The “public” salt water pool is not swimmable. Maybe it was due to the time of year, but it is covered in algae and full of fish and other sea creatures. Although, we did enjoy going to see the fish, crabs and snails that currently live in it :)

We had a great stay at the condo! Was clean, safe, great view, nice to hear ocean in our room at night with the window right there. No air conditioning, but the breeze quickly cooled the room once windows were open (was 85 degrees while we were there). Plus there were extra fans.We were able to walk to coffee shops nearby, and an easy 10 min drive to get groceries and to restaurants. We cooked and kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans/dishes. You could walk to town, about 30min walk. Was a quiet place which we liked, sometimes pool area a bit noisy if kids. Was a good base to explore the island, we’d stay again!
