very nice condo. I was very please to have much nicer furniture on lanei than in the Knutson site. Very nice breeze through both bedrooms. Well appointed. Disappointed that although there were lots and lots of tv stations, could not get currents stations with news, sports and shows. local mgr could not help when contacted. We hope to stay there again next year! should fix the kitchen faucet that sprays water when using the flex spout line. could use more supplies ie, toilet paper, soap, etc. Great spot and I recommend it to others!

The location of the unit is wonderful. The management folks were responsive and a pleasure to work with. The unit is dated and in need of some attention, but it was comfortable and well stocked. It has AC, but we never needed it.

Truly a wonderful stay in Hawaii. This place is all about the location! Beautiful sunsets every day. The grounds are gorgeous. The condo was very clean. Could use some updating and the twin beds are fine for kids, but not great for adults due to old box springs. The price was great for this amazing location.

We had an excellent stay at this condo. It is compact, but perfect for the 3 of us. There was heaving wave action while we were there. It was fun to have the waves crashing up to almost 10 feet above the wall. Location to shopping and the beach is within minutes. However our timing was off and the closest beach was closed due to coral spawning. It is about 15 mins into Kona. Minutes to snorkeling trips for Manta Rays and other locations.The kitchen was well stocked with pretty much anything you could want for cooking.The grounds are beautiful with several historical sites that are very interesting. We did not use the pool or tennis courts, so no comment.

Absolutely beautiful location, literally a few steps to ocean, complete with sunsets, turtles, fish, ocean breezes. The location was close to Kealakekua Bay, one of our favorites, & shopping up the hill. We used the tennis courts, pool, all in great condition.The unit is totally furnished with everything you need from beach towels, chairs to a well equipped kitchen for cooking meals vs eating out. Thank you Sally for your townhouse #5!We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & hope to return.

Very cooperative owner and easy to contact! Well stocked supply of cooking utensils, spices and even some wine left in the fridge! Went for girls only Mother’s Day ( I am 69) daughter 41 and 38. We had a fabulous time, would love to come back with husband at some point. Loved having our breakfast smoothie on the back porch listing and seeing the ocean.

This condo is gorgeous and has beautiful furniture and decor. Lots of extras (towels, beach stuff) for use. The washer and dryer was super convenient and beds are very comfortable. Very clean. Can't wait to come back. The property management team is helpful as well, we had zero issues. Would absolutely stay again.

The condo is very nice and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. The grounds are gorgeous and we enjoyed the pool area and nearby beach. It was easy to communicate with Dennis and Maria. We highly recommend their place!

Home included everything you might need for a Hawaiian vacation: closet full of chairs, boogie boards, cooler, beach bags, snorkel gear; washer and dryer with detergent/softener; comfortable beds; quiet area (except one rude visitor who held a loud business call outside everyone’s open windows at 6:30am); fully stocked kitchen with nice appliances (even the coffee grinder for those fresh Kona beans). Location was good for many water activities (Manta rays, Keahakekua Bay, Hounaunau Bay, Kahalu’u Bay). As no AC, slightly warm in afternoons during our May visit, but perfect sleeping at night with open windows and ocean sounds. Check in unusual as you must meet property managers at unit, but otherwise typical and responsive to questions. Would stay again!

The property is beautiful. we had one issue with the second bedroom, although there were two large closets in the bedroom they were both locked as they were designated for owners. So no place to hang up clothes in that bedroom. There were several good options for the owners to designate for their use, as example, the bathroom had ample storage space under the sink that could have been used to store towels, etc and used the large linen closet as the owners private space, and left at leastONE of the large closets open for renters. I was very inconvenient as we had to disrupt the other guests in the master bedroom to use their closet.

Reviewer Comments:
The air conditioning system is terrible. Cannot sit on the lanai with AC on inside because it vents directly onto the lanai making it feel like a blast furnace. I suggest you go there yourself to see what I mean. In addition, the AC unit in the loft/master bedroom is terribly loud making it unusable when trying to sleep. Again, go there yourself. If I was making decisions at your company I would no longer offer this property for rent. I believe this reflects poorly on your business. I simply cannot see anyone renting here not being very disappointed with the AC system. Certainly would not consider renting the property again.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.
