Definitely a great stay with great communication from the hosts. We really enjoyed our stay. A/C unit was perfect and the winds would blow in very nicely to cool things off. Very much recommended!

This is our 3rd year staying in this condo complex. We just love the location, views and everything about it. It’s close enough to numerous restaurants and shops but far enough away from traffic and noise. Perfect.

The space was as described. The beds were comfortable, and the house was clean. Plenty of beach towels for use at the pool and beach. Loved having a washing machine and dryer. There were extra fans available for use as there was no air conditioning. We left the windows open to cool things down, however, the main bedroom is next to the parking lot, so leaving windows open overnight is quite noisy when people come in late and talk in the parking lot. Other than that, the property has a lot of amenities and is convenient to access.

We loved the accommodations and the lanai. Everything was as described. The availability of snorkel and beach gear was a nice plus. Very appreciative of the AC!

The ground floor Lanai is so wonderful to watch sunsets and morning coffee. The view is fantastic. This condo was super clean, nicely located on beautiful grounds, and had well stocked kitchen, towels and linens. Washing Machine a plus. Perfectly located to visit the island north and south. The big Island does have a lot of driving :) There is a little upstairs noise with people clomping around if someone is in the unit above, but it will only bother you if you like to sleep in. We were anxious to get our day going on this beautiful island. We had a small issue that we contacted the management company about and response, and resolution was quick. The master bedrooms shoji doors do not afford a lot of privacy in the way of sound so keep that in mind if that is important to you. I will not hesitate to recommend this condo and have already done so.

Overall, very positive experience. One debit is cookware. Pots and pans are worn aluminum. In this day and age where people are concerned about the impact of microplastics in food container products, Teflon coatings and aluminum, some inexpensive stainless pans and pots would be a welcome addition.

Easy parking directly in front of stairs to building. There are three flights of stairs so if you have walking restrictions you may want to consider another rental. The 2 bedroom and 2 full bath set up was very spacious. Beautiful views of a lush landscape from the screened in porch. The community has a pool and a nice walking trail. There is a grocery store, movie theater and restaurants and bars within about a mile each way walk which was a nice surprise and enjoyed.

This is our fourth time staying at KS&RC, first time in this condo. As always, this place is epic. The condo was perfect for a place to decompress from our usual lives, provide a base camp for our week of diving, and enjoy a week of getting quiet while looking at the ocean. The condo has everything anyone would need and was beautiful. Thank you. God bless.

We had a wonderful stay in this condo. The kitchen is very well stocked and surprised us with the spices and seasonings available along with all the cookware and dishes. We were also so pleased to see all the beach chairs, towels and snorkeling equipment. This is not listed in the property description but should be as we wouldn’t have packed our own beach towels. The screened in lanai is so nice and the condo has a very nice secluded feel to it. Upon arrival, we did notice that there were a few things that were broken. The property managers had reached out to us to see how everything was and we reported the broken items They were very attentive and offered to have someone come out to fix. We declined as it wasn’t Imperative . Property grounds are immaculate as well. We had a family reunion and had rented out several other condos in this complex. I feel that ours was the best stocked as far as kitchen and amenities. Highly recommend

We usually get a big house but needed to stay a couple of nights before we could stay with family so we found this beautiful place. Right on the ocean and very clean accommodations. There is a little beach area you can walk to. The whole experience was very nice. Thank you for sharing your home!!

This is a beautiful property quiet and peaceful. We did not have Ocean views but looked out on a golf course and a lovely tropical garden. The beach nearby is an interesting one as theres a lot of fish and coral thats growing. This was an experience in itself. It is located a few miles out of the town which was exactly what i was looking for.

The location of the unit is ideal for getting around the Kona area. The propety is beautiful. The unit itself has a walk out covered lanai that is pefect for sitting and listening to the waves crash and the bird chirp. You will not be disappointed staying here.

Unless you're staying in one of the other 7 units with private access to the beach, I don't think you can find a better location anywhere! The view and beach access at this townhouse are simply unparalleled! The pool and the grounds themselves are stunning and even the non-oceanfront side of the building is quite private and beautifully landscaped.The unit is somewhat dated, but that is reflected in the pricing and we found it very much as we were expecting. The VRBO was very well-equipped with all the amenities we were hoping for! There were paper towels, travel size shampoo and conditioner, soap bars and a few rolls of toilet paper to get us started. We cooked most of our own meals and found all the necessary supplies available. We were very pleased to have beach towels provided, saving us space when packing, and the ample supply of dishwasher and washing machine pods was very convenient as well. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was great at night as it was frequently quite humid and a little warm for sleeping. The rest of the time, the cross breeze and fans kept us pretty comfortable. Sandy was so helpful answering our questions while planning the trip and was also able to work out a late check-out for us, which was so nice given our 7pm departure flight. We would absolutely stay here again if we are fortunate enough to return to the Big Island!

The unit was very clean and had a killer view. The beach equipment was very nice. As others have noted, it seems strange that there are not drapes or blinds on the slider window.

This condo was everything we wished for during our vacation! The it was stocked with everything we needed during our stay. The property management company was very helpful and responded quickly. Our favorite aspect of this rental is that it is directly in front of the ocean so we had gorgeous unobstructed views the entire time! Thank you! - Joy

Our family had visited the Big Island 21 years ago and loved the experience then. We love the quiet laid back experience of sitting on the lanai looking at the ocean. The facilities are great and the shopping center is within walking distance while Kailua is a short drive. Snorkeling at the beach is also a quick walk as well.

Right when you open the door, you’re hit with a view of the ocean that can’t be beat. Yes, the unit is a little rough around the edges. But it had everything we needed to feel right at home and thoroughly enjoy our stay. It’s close to groceries and great activities, and the neighborhood is peaceful and well maintained.

Hello, This was an awesome stay. We loved how easy it was. The property management company was very considerate and communicated with us about our stay while we were there with a personal call as well. I didn't have any issues with the place so we just reported everything was fine. It was quiet, we loved the grounds and the pool, as well as the access to a beach just a minute from our door. We also walked to the Keahou shopping center and enjoyed the ammenities there including the cinema, the farmers market, a show of hula, bookstore, restaurants, shops and a grocery store. For the first few days of our stay we just relaxed and had all we needed so close to us. The condo was very comfortable and clean. We would love to come back. Thanks!

Wonderful Spring Break vaca! We had everything we needed. Condo was fully stocked! Even enjoyed using the beach chairs, umbrella & boogie boards.
April 2025
The condo was very nice. A great location for visiting family up the hill, close to a very friendly grocery store. A full time resident has cleared a rock-free entrance underwater at the south side of the beach on the north side of the properties. Good swimming if you go in there. We did have very loud upstairs neighbors who had rented from another agency we- tried to resolve it with the onsite manager but failed. Our agency brought me a big box fan which muffled the noise at night. They did the right thing given the circumstances.I would suggest more cleaning supplies for these one week stays. I would have mopped and cleaned bathrooms more.I would rent here again from this local agency.

This condo is sparkling clean and stocked with everything you might need, from the kitchen to the beach equipment. The full size washer and dryer is a plus. What really stands out is the corner location and the wrap around lanai. The corner location ensures quiet and privacy, as well as sprawling ocean views. There is plenty of seating and tables on the lanai where we had coffee each morning and watch the sunset each evening. The condo is beautifully decorated and comfortable. Clear communication with the owner. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. There is a shopping center with Longs Drugs, grocery store, coffee shop and several eateries just 5 minute drive away. Great snorkeling just half-mile north … we walked there but there is plenty of parking too. We would absolutely stay here again when back in the Big Island

Immaculately clean. Accurate to listing. Close to beaches and restaurants. Fully stocked kitchen. LOVED the grassy area off the lanai to run around with my baby. In addition to being a very comfortable and restful stay for my husband and 1 year old, the booking host Sandy was 10/10 communicative, kind, and friendly. She went above and beyond to give me one or two key tips on how to make my stay extea special with a baby. Would gladly stay again next time I visit.

The property is situated in a great location—perfect if you are planning on experiencing the manta ray snorkling/dive excursion and/or golf at the Kona Country Club. It was clean and beautifully furnished. We loved the view of the ocean from the pool and easy access to the beach. Would definitely stay again!

We can’t say enough good things about our stay. The pictures do not do it justice. We were not at all bothered by the third floor walk up the stairs as it provided us with the most beautiful ocean views with breathtaking sunsets. The house has everything you need. The AC is a perk as we have twice stayed in Hawaii without it and this was so much better. We saw whales and dolphins right off the lanai while we enjoyed our morning breakfasts. The location was superb, we could easily get to everything on the island. We would gladly stay here again!

As soon as we walked in we were pleasantly surprised with our pick of accommodations for the week. We are two couples traveling from Canada for a week of golf, touring and relaxation. Location was perfect for what we needed with the necessities close by. We cooked many items in the condo and had everything we needed provided for us and easy to find. The beds were comfortable and the AC made sleeping very comfortable. Lots of storage in both rooms as well. Pool area was nice for a quick cool down but let’s be real nobody comes to Hawaii for the pools. The view!! That was our main reason for picking this condo. We wanted two bedrooms, two bathrooms, AC, a big lanai and an ocean view. We got that and more!!If I have to be fussy there were some very tiny cons/suggestions:- From the pics you can’t tell that the one wall of the primary is a retractable paper like wall making for minimal privacy. - If the people above are there you can hear every step they make and they get up early- If you plan to be at the beach lots bring some towels as only 4 are provided. It felt like we were washing those all the time. It was an amazing week and don’t think we could have found a better condo in our price limit.
