Everything was perfect for our needs. Great location to walk into town or a cheap UBER ride. No ocean view but a very privte, large lanai with ceiling fans, dining table and sun chairs. Ocean is a five minute walk.

This condo was in the best location. Close to the main shops, stores, and restaurants in Kono. The condo was well equipped with everything and very comfortable. The balcony was amazing with its views and comfort. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Liked the view, location, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Didn't like that there was a partially eaten popsicle in the freezer (I took a photo) and the air conditioners were extremely loud. Had to turn them off to watch tv or be out on the porch so we could hear each other talk.

We did front-and-back bookend stays of our Hawaii trip here, with a week on the Hilo side in the middle. For sun and beach, Kona is definitely the side to visit! Unit is comfortable, although the parking spot is very tight - we had a Mustang and held our breaths every time we pulled in! Lanai is beautifully shady and private, and cool with two ceiling fans. Kailua-Kona waterfront is within easy walking distance. Property manager was quickly responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay in this condominium. It had a great location and view and very comfortable to live in and stay. A short walk to downtown for restaurants,beach and shopping. We enjoyed eating and spending time on the lanai!

We had a wonderful 6 night stay at this lovely and quaint condo. The unit was just as described and perfect for our party size. The kids slept on the very large pull out bed in the living room and adults had the bedrooms. They were really large which was nice for luggage. The location was the best part. We walked everywhere! Lots of shops and places to eat. We did two “road trip” days around the island. It was central to all of those locations as well (1-2 hour drive). It was clean and comfortable. Communication excellent! We will be booking another stay here in the future!

Great ocean view from the best lanai. Easy walk to restaurants and shops. The condo had everything. We are seniors and the condo was quiet with lots of birds singing. Would stay here again for sure. Thanks Jake and Gina

This condo is perfect for one couple, although it still would work for two. It was exactly as described. Great lanai, two full bathrooms (very nice), and walking distance to all the downtown Kona restaurants. The bedroom a/c unit kept us cool while sleeping. We will probably try to return next summer. Karen and Ed were very responsive to all our questions. One note, the garage and assigned parking space is very "tight". Rent a small or mid sized vehicle, be careful driving in the garage. The parking space is located close to the elevator, very convenient.

We had a wonderful time staying in Karen and Ed's beautiful condo. The place was very clean, well supplied with a very nice gift of Hawaiian coffee and dark chocolate covered macadamia nuts! The bed was very supportive and comfortable with a choice of pillows. The lanai was where we wanted to be when there was a breeze and not so humid. Lovely, comfortable furniture on the lanai as well as inside. We thoroughly enjoyed getting rested and recuperated here and it was great to be able to walk to town and get something to eat or shop in less than 10 minutes!! I know the next time we go to Hawaii, we definitely will be staying in their beautiful home!! Thank you so much Ed and Karen for letting us stay in your restful retreat!

It was a wonderful four days. I wish I could have stayed longer. We had a corner room with an ocean view and a large lanai. The layout was very open and airy. The location was very quiet and comfortable, even though it was only one street up the mountain from Alii Drive. It was also very conveniently located within walking distance of the center of Kailua-Kona. One disappointment was that the blinds were broken in two places and I hope they will be repaired as soon as possible. I would like to stay here again next time.

Bugs are a big problem. I know most of the units at this property and this one is obviously not maintained with big control. Very disappointed.

Despite some not-so-great weather, we enjoyed our stay at Stephen and Donna's beautiful condo in Kona. It is very spacious and for 2 couples, the two bedrooms with king beds was perfect, with an extra bathroom to boot! We loved that it was a short walk from all of the great shops and restaurants in Kona and it was fully stocked with all the beach supplies.....even a flat iron and curling iron. Highly recommend!

We generally enjoyed our time at this place. The unit was well-maintained, though, there were a few cleanliness issues here and there, but nothing unmanageable. We found the parking space to be very tight. In fact, we weren't able to pull into the spot, and it could only be backed into with about an inch of clearance on the drivers-side mirror. Unfortunately, the building's water was shut off on the last morning of our stay, so this made it hard to shower and otherwise prepare for the long journey home from the islands.

The condo was clean and comfortable for everyone in our group. Lots of privacy with 3 bathrooms. We enjoyed the close proximity to Kona, beaches and Mai Tai’s. Would definitely stay here again.

This condo is great, with views, modern upgrades, along with the extras, make vacationing so easy and enjoyable, great location as well. Only issue is parking is very tight, make sure to have a midsize or smaller vehicle

Worst managed condo I’ve ever rented. I’ll never do business with anyone represented by them (Vacasa) ever again. It took me 2 days just to get ahold of someone about the TV not working. I had to unhook and unplug all the wires and cables, replug set it up again myself because every representative I talked to kept passing the buck saying they actually didn’t manage the particular condo I was renting. I fixed the problem myself. It took me 4 days to get someone to help me with the non functioning washing machine. The representative told me to go to the laundromat and do my laundry there and they would reimburse me later. Just what I want to do on my vacation. The icing on the cake was the next door condo being remodeled the last 4-5 days I was there and having to listen to the power tools and saws all day. No blinds at all on the living room sliding glass doors affording a feeling of zero privacy, especially at night…

This was our second weeklong stay in this unit. Kona pacific is a very well maintained complex. Super easy access to town , beach , restaurants and weekend live entertainment. Can’t wait for our return visit.

Great location, very quiet and clean condominium. The bed was VERY comfortable after a busy day of hiking, swimming, shopping and eating. Recommendations: The Coffee Shack, On The Rocks, Cheeky Tiki (must try Mai Tai), Volcano National Park and the best shaved ice on island is in Hilo at KULA near the farmers market. Beaches not to miss - 49 Black Sand Beach, snorkeling at Captain Cook Monument, Green Sand Beach

Wonderful place, hosts have thought of everything. Clean, open, airy, plenty of supplies, lots of cooking condiments, spices, all staples. We cooked in as eating out is so much more expensive. Stores are close by. We will book this condo again for sure.

This was an amazing condo! The property management was quick to respond to any question. Very clean, modern and updated. It had all the amenities you could want! Beach chairs, sand toys, beach towels, washer/dryer in the unit, fully stocked kitchen including spices! Very comfortable king sized bed. Wonderful garden setting with an ocean view! Beautiful pool! The complex was quiet and relaxing! We had a fantastic time!

The condo is exceptionally clean and spacious. The main bathroom has a big shower. Much better than my own at home. The apartment is so stocked with everything I thought it was a warehouse for Costco. There were even alcoholic beverages in the refrigerator plus water. The property manager Joe was very attentive and accommodating. We had trouble putting on the TV, we are not technologically inclined but Joe helped walk us through. This is our 4th stay in Kona and this condo is the best. We will return here again. Rhonda S Tucson, AZ

For our first time here, this was a great spot to be. We did a lot of walking to downtown for breakfast and dinner and the all tourist stuff. They need to update their listing because there is NO hot tub. It says shared pool, but I think in the week we were here there was maybe 5 people in it, so it's pretty private. Quiet little condos. Would definitely stay here again.

Spacious condo. Having two bathrooms was nice., although the en-suite shower makes a sceeeching noise. Very centrally located. Nice relaxing lanai. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We did wish the condo included an umbrella and snorkel gear for use like the other properties we have stayed in on our trip to Maui and Kauai. There was a bag with flippers only. When I inquired if there was supposed to be snorkels, the property manager said no. The other area that could use improvement is the dishwasher. It has a fishy smell. And the sofa is not comfortable. But we spent more time on the lanai anyway

Had a great time on the big island, and this apartment was the perfect place to stay for the visit! Great location, close to the shops and restaurants in downtown Kona, and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay, from beach equipment to enjoy the Hawaiian outdoors, to totes and cooler bags to take to the farmers markets and enjoy the local produce! And the host was extremely communicative about the property and location. Answered all the questions I had before my visit and recommended a lot of places to check out while I was there. I didn't have any issues while I was there that needed addressing, but I'm confident if I did they would have been handled quickly.
