Loved loved loved this property!! Fantastic location. Easy walk to the beach. Very clean! Fantastic management company that was proactive with communication! -- Liked being behind the closed gates. Did not feel touristy. Townhouse was perfect for me, my wife, and our two boys. (Glad there was air conditioning!) -- Neat as a pin and everything worked great!) -- We had never been to Hawaii before, much less Kona, but we could not have picked a better location!! When we come back, this will be our first choice for lodging! Kudos to the owners!

Great view of ocean, although oceanfront there is no noise disruption got quiet sleep. AC worked great and was very comfortable indoor temperature. Great tile floors throughout all the way out to lanai. Washer and dryer the cleanest I’ve experienced in the 8 consecutive years visiting the islands. Furnishings are old, bed is lumpy. Several light bulbs were not working, most notably the pendant lamps over kitchen island. Guest toilet runs if not tended to. Window covering for bedroom don’t go all the way to the mirrored wall creating huge peekaboo, lacking privacy for bedroom area. Biggest drawback no designated parking spot, and not enough visitor parking for the 2 buildings sharing the lot, only 2 spots for 2 buildings. Additional spaces available 2 buildings away.

We are repeat visitors to 5-203. The condo site is spectacular to your visual and listening senses. Beautiful sunsets and waves splashing nearby are wonderful. The owners have the highest quality furnishings and amenities. We expect to return next year!!!

We had a wonderful stay at this condo! The best part was the beautiful ocean wave sounds that lulled us to sleep each night. The condo is well thought out with everything you could possibly need. It was also clean and well kept. Everything was labeled and put in its place making it easy to locate whatever we needed. The condo is also central to a lot of activities but is very quiet. We appreciated the AC units throughout the condo as well, but didn't need to use it for the most part.

We love this condo. The remodel of the upper floor to an upstairs suite provides for amazing air circulation, views, and space. The condo provides everything you need, cooking utensils, starter items, etc. The view from the lanai is amazing and that's pretty much where we spent all our time. The unit is older and although it has been kept up very well, could use a little TLC and organization. But overall, we love, love, love this condo. The location is perfect and the "private" beach access is another great perk. Maria, the property manager is always available and responds within minutes to questions or concerns. Overall, the best place yet!

This Condo was beyond our expectations! It was beautifully decorated and had everything that we needed. Not only were we impressed that it had everything we needed for the beach but the kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with extras as if it was our own houses. We didn’t have to go buy things because the condo already had them.
The view from the wrap around Lani was spectacular!! We would love to rent the condo again given the chance. The beds were so comfortable and the showers had amazing water pressure. I don’t think there was anything about this condo that we didn’t like. 10/10 rating for sure!!!

We raved about this condo all week! From the most amazing view that you immediately notice when you walk in, to the beautiful finishings within the unit itself, it has everything you need. The kitchen is well-stocked. The lanai was easily my favorite part. The view is unbeatable. I sat out there for a couple hours each morning with my coffee and Bible. So peaceful. Not to mention the chorus of birds singing at daybreak! It’s just wonderful! Highly recommend!

I really can’t say enough good things about our experience!! Reserving was easy, check in was easy because of the details given by Knutson’s folks. I received a couple of texts after we arrived to see how we were doing and if we needed anything, which was nice. The place was gorgeous, spacious, well-stocked, and easy to access. It was a bit too close to Ali’i Road, but when you’re exhausted from exploring the island all day, traffic noise is a minor thing. We would have liked to get a place with an ocean view, but I’ll know how to reserve that next time. We appreciated the beach items from the rental, even the binocs! I would recommend folks pack 2-3 canvas tote bags for when you go shopping, because Hawai’i is about 99% plastic bag free! Yay!! Oh, and maybe bring/provide a couple flashlights to go watch turtles at night. We really appreciated all the accommodations of Knutson and the homeowner. Mahalo and a hui hou, ohana, 🌺🌸🌻aloha 🌺🌸🌻

Lots of little dead bugs on the ledges. Wooden deck that has nails and splinters to cut your feet. View boarded up for part of our stay. We paid extra for the ocean front and had it removed for part of the stay. It was dark inside and very hot without the ocean breeze. Not enjoyable at all. We love the location and the place but this suite was a little run down compared to others and then the boarding up completely ruined it. I would recommend to friends but not that suite.

We really had a great time. Beautiful views, sunset right from the lanai. It was stormy so it was cool to watch the waves crash on the rocks all down the coast. Some cute geckos and beautiful birds. Tucked in the back corner away from everyone. Pool was excellent and heated so not freezing cold. Beds were comfy including pillows. Communication was excellent. Shopping center up the road also has several restaurants, a grocery store, and a Longs Drugs. We would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay in this condo. It was very clean, stocked with basic things that made it easier to enjoy the beaches such as chairs, beach towels, and boogie boards, etc. We listened to the waves at night while we slept, and the ocean breeze was so soothing throughout the night. It’s location felt private (end unit) and was literally steps to the ocean. We used the community grill one night, and met some very nice locals. We enjoyed the pool as well. Truly could not have asked for more. Mahalo.

We enjoyed our stay, the codo had everything we needed. The TV streaming was very spotty, or it could be that we are to old to know how to work the streaming process. The weather was iffy, but we did'nt let that bother us, regretfully we never made it to the pool. One thing I would add to the items in the condo, is some Kleenex.

We are a group of 3 couples who enjoy traveling and diving together. This condo and location was absolutely perfect.
3 bedrooms 3 baths right on the water front with a huge lani. Who could ask for more. Close to groceries restaurants. And beaches it was perfect for our trip.
We paid the extra for the ac and it worked wonderfully.
I would definatly recommend this well equipped condo.

Roomy three bedroom apartment right on the water. Breeze off the ocean kept the condo a very comfortable temperature. Condo complex amenities (pool, tennis, pickleball, outdoor seating) was easily accessed and uncrowded. There is a good selection if restaurants and shops within two miles. The night swim with the manta rays was a short five minute drive. A must do. Everyone( three retired couples) really enjoyed our stay.

We rent homes and condos a couple of times every year for the past 20 years or more, so experiences have been extensive from iffy to wonderful. This condo was up in the upper level for sure! Best in ocean views from the Lani and the MBR. Many little niceties were furnished as well, such as beach chairs and towels, an ice cooler with a large ice pack in the freezer to use. Everything was clean, operable and appeared well maintained. My cudo’s to the owners and the management and my thanks. We stayed with another couple in this unit and two other couples rented a similar condo a few doors away. Their comments was that they were going to return here again, but wanted me to give them the rental info for our condo for their next visit. That says it all there. My only less than positive comment is that the kitchen is not always as important to some renters as me, but I prefer preparing meals in to always eating out. While it was well stocked with cooking and serving utensils, it lacked in simple things like salt/pepper, spices and some basic condiments. A little stale coffee (Folgers, yuk) was there when we arrived. Possibly some starter packs of a nice Kona Coffee section to kick off the settle in period for later arrivals would be nice.

The condo was clean but the place hasn’t been updated at all for 20+ years. It’s truly the bare minimum in there. The furniture is old and not comfortable. I tried to iron something and the ironing board is tearing and black stuff was coming out of the iron. I would say it’s way overpriced for what it is. My brother stayed in the same property at a beautiful condo. The location is great but I would not pick this condo. Find one that is updated for this price. Not super comfortable at all.

Overall, it was OK. The view was spectacular. We were disappointed when we got to the place that the pool was under construction. We called the management, they said we should check the small print. It was in the check-in at the very end there was an addendum. We booked this in March. Our trip was at the end of April. The pool and construction, April 2. I feel that they should have told us right then and there that there was going to be no pool. In addition, there was no access to the water from the property the water, walkway or trail was extremely short. Like I said in the beginning the place is just okay..

The unit has everything needed and much more, the owners have thoughtful notes throughout the house and those notes are not overbearing at all. The whole house has a certain charm. The main bedroom view is just wow! We love sleeping to the sound of the waves. It was a very comfortable stay for us, we loved the property. We didn't use the swimming pool but it looked very nice, the tennis courts were handy to get a couple of games in before it was too warm to play.The only suggestion I would provide is perhaps recliners in the living room to relax after a long day outdoors.

Love this complex. We stayed in this complex (different unit, different property co.) about 10 yrs ago, and liked it so much we decided to return. This particular unit (5-202) is lovely. Building is at the end of the complex, nothing but ocean off the balcony. Was a little intimidated at first using this property co., as there were forms to sign - almost didn’t book because of that. Glad we did though - no issues whatsoever. Unit was clean, furnishings up to date. Highly recommend and can’t wait to stay here again!

If you want a quiet stay with great amenities and a peaceful view this is it. Altho the complex is older the property is well maintained. This 2nd floor corner unit has amazing views. There is no central air but the ceiling fans and oscillating fan were all we needed to stay comfortable. We played the Kona Country Club golf course right next door and it was a great course. This unit is great for couples or even a family with small kids. Would definitely stay here again.
