It was nice to have a view of the ocean from the patio. Enjoyed having the BBQ's. Air conditioning worked great. Dissappointed in the salt water pool next door, looked much cleaner and attractive in photos.

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 condo was well stocked with towels and equipment to use at the beach. It also had everything needed in the kitchen. The AC and fans worked well and it was a quiet and comfortable place. We also liked the location and ease in getting anywhere we wanted to go.

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.

We loved our stay. Very clean and well equipped condo. The parking was secure and close. The host was very helpful. Would absolutely stay again.

Our unit was amazing and had everything we needed and more to make our stay welcoming! Everything was so clean on the property from the pool area to the bbq area… We also loved the local duck Howard. 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.

After flying for 24 hours, checkin could not have been easier. Condo was as advertised and very well appointed. We had everything we needed to cook in which we love . Small beach chairs we super handy for beach excursions as well as beach towels and snorkeling equipment… small cooler and cold bag worked great for the beach as well

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

We’ve stayed at Kona Isle several times, and this our second stay in this condo. Both times have been outstanding, and we’ll be back again. Great location, great host. We love the friendly calm feel, the grounds, the views, and the sound of the waves. Mahalo for a wonderful stay!

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.

Our condo had absolutely everything we might have needed. The owner was meticulous when it comes to maximizing available space and making things convenient and workable. The decor was beautiful and not overdone. We loved everything about this rental and will definitely look to return. It was exactly as described, maybe even better. The grounds were very well kept and the property was quiet and convenient to town. The bed and pillows were comfortable and everything was in good working order. Five stars plus!

I don’t want to sell the fantasy stay that we had because selfishly I want to rebook this unit and have a yearly vacation on this magical island on this magical property so close and convenient to everything we’ve been to Hawaii many times so we wanted a stay one place enjoy the surroundings and be in the sun and that is what we did on this place is perfect!

The hosts were very communicative before we got there, so there was no stress whatsoever getting in to the rental. 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.

This was our second time staying here and we just love it! The unit is a bottom floor, corner unit. Sit on the lanai and watch the ocean…listening to the waves crash. To the left across the walkway is the pool. Never crowed. This place is so peaceful, clean, and has everything we needed and then some! Rachel is so great to communicate with if needed! We will definitely be back!

Reviewer Comments: 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!

Having a full kitchen to BBQ’s on the beach is the best when you don’t like spending money or time in restaurants.

I loved that this is a smallish condo complex and that this condo was exactly as pictured. It was tastefully decorated without a lot of Hawaiiana everywhere. It is perfect for a couple. We enjoyed whale watching from the Lani. The pool and BBQ area were nice. I’ve stayed at several condos over the years and this is the best. I plan to return next year.

The sunsets from the lanai are absolutely gorgeous. Kitchen and everything we needed and the entire home was very clean. It is in a quieter stretch of Kona, which we loved, but still convenient to restaurants and stores in the area. Bonus that they had snorkel gear for us to use. We would definitely choose this unit again if we return to the Big Island. Communication with the property management was excellent. Great experience all around!

Not many extras. I was surprised there was no dishwasher. The bedroom can get very hot, thank goodness for the air conditioner and fan. Overall the condo and complex was nice for the price.

Well located complex on the water. Well equipped condo with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and loads of snorkeling gear. But, the place is fairly old with noisy A/C and fridge and it's the unit furthest from the Ocean and closest to the road in the back corner of the complex with people walking by the louvered bedroom window.

We were so pleased with this beautiful condo.The property is exactly as the listing says it is. The fridge held a number of condiments as did the cupboard. There was shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the bathroom was a nice surprise.The pool is a very short distance away and the waterfront area is a wonderful place to watch the spectacular sunsets. We definitely recommend and would love to stay again sometime.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Room With A View. Nothing like looking out your front window and seeing and hearing the ocean, the whales and the dolphins. Room is adequately equipped, excellent washer and drier. Lots of hot water and good pressure. Bed is comfy, but small (a double?), should be upgraded to a king.It would be nice to have table and chairs on the deck, I'd rather eat outside in Hawaii. A few more coffee mugs would be great too. Looking forward to returning next year!
