We loved the location and the condo. Hearing the sounds of the waves on the rocks was relaxing. The condo was well furnished and comfortable. A small air conditioner in the bedroom would have been nice, as a couple of nights were a bit stuffy when the breeze died down, but it was comfortable nonetheless.

Stayed in Kona-Kailua for a week after hosting kids for two in Kauai. Great place to relax and chill. Beautiful views and the unit was immaculate. We were there during the warmest time of the year and it was indeed hot! We knew there was no A/C. There are ceiling fans and 4 individual floor fans which we strategically placed yo make it bearable. We had a great time and enjoyed exploring the island. Mahalo

Fantastic ocean front view with lovely coastal scenery, beautiful sunsets and nightscape from living room and lanai. Interior is attractively and thoughtfully furnished with homey touches but not too much clutter. It is clean and well maintained. Will seek same unit next time.

This was a perfect place for us to stay while visiting the Big Island. Beautiful lanai with amazing sunsets, the complex has a great pool and bbq area, is centrally located, and the condo is well stocked with thoughtful beach toys and equipment. The AC is so nice to have. The kitchen had all the tools you could want. Great info from the owners and convenient check in and out. Would definitely stay again.

The condo was spacious and clean. The bedrooms were large, with private bath for each room. Nice soaking tub in one of the bedrooms + the shower stall. Everything was clean and stocked with plenty of towels + pool towels. The kitchen was stocke with coffee maker and toaster and all the dishes/utensils you would need. The beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again. Matt was very easy to work with and responded quickly to any questions I had. We were two single women and we felt very safe at this resort. The pools were very nice and relaxing. The location was close to the ocean and swimming and not far from dining in Kona.

Aloha! We had a beautiful trip to Kona and loved the condo. The condo complex is extremely well maintained as is the actual unit. The owners are extremely nice and helpful! The condo has everything you need for your trips to the beach, we did buy a beach umbrella which we left. So there were beach chairs, now the umbrella, coolers, snorkel gear, sand toys and more. The only thing I wish they had provided was sheets for the couch bed. Mahalo for a wonderful time!

Condo was as described, pictures true. Portable air was good! Nothing like central air, but did cool to be comfortable. Way better than none! Loved the view. Master bath a tad small but doable. Loved all the amenities like washer and dryer, hair dryer, coffee pot & salt and pepper. Pool was very nice! Sliding door a little hard to open for me and grandson. Ice maker broken when we were there, might ask so you know whether to pick up ice. They have 2 plastic trays of ice ready though! Would definitely stay again! The sunset was great!!

We had a great stay at this condo for our honeymoon. We had one mishap where the pool key wasn't in the room when we checked in but after a quick call, it was sorted out very quickly! Would recommend this stay!
July 2023
The view was nice, though the sunsets were blocked by another part of the building (the ad mentioned great sunsets….maybe during another part of the year it’s better) but our view was completely blocked.
The unit is on the third floor and the lack of A/C made it quite uncomfortable, especially if cooking.
All of the cabinetry and dressers are in disrepair ( broken or missing drawer slides, etc).
The bedrooms had very dirty and dingy carpet.
The shower in the master bedroom did not drain well (6-8 inches of standing water during a 10 minute shower).
In general, the interior of the condo lacked any pride of ownership and is desperately out dated and worn out.
I strongly recommend against booking this property.
The one bright spot was the outside spaces were very well maintained. Great pool / hot tub area and the grilling and picnic area was also quite nice.

This location was ok. Pros and cons, as with many places for this price point.
Pros: ocean and pool view, easy parking, 1.5 mile walk into Koa, sunset viewing from patio, pool and hot tub were nice and it wasn’t crowded.
Cons: bathrooms and kitchen need updating, master bed frame was old and squeaky, not enough fans to keep us cool, couch in living room was gross (felt like something from a college dorm or thrift store).
Would I go back again, not to that unit, but would try another unit at Sea Village.
July 2023
This property is bright, clean, and well appointed. We wanted for nothing while we were here. It was one of our favorite things to get back in time for sunset on the porch. Watching sea life and activities (swimmers, boats and paddlers) was interesting every morning at breakfast. There was room enough for our family to spread out. The condo community was just far enough outside of Kona to mute the noise of town, slow down a little bit, yet close enough for groceries. Free and ample parking and a M-F coffee shop within walking distance.

Couldnt reach cupboards, sit on the patio furniture or even sit on the bed. 1 small pool for 48 units to share. What a disaster.!!

First off, this place has So Much Potential. The location is amazing, both island geography wise and within the Sea Village complex itself. We were hoping for a stellar stay here on the Big Island, but for several reasons our stay here was just okay. I'll attempt to describe why within this review.
My family and I have stayed at multiple different vacation rentals in various places, to include several Hawaiian islands, and even previous stays nearby in Kona. This unit did not live up to the expectations we had due to our previous stays at other vacation rentals, the pictures provided in the listing, and the description of the unit. After staying at this unit, we have decided we will only stay at units that are privately owned, and not managed by a large property management company like Grand Welcome.
My wife, daughter and I stayed at this unit from June 16th thru 24th 2023.
PROS: The location of the unit within the complex are fantastic. It sits on the far SouthWest corner of the complex, which affords it amazing unobstructed views of the ocean, and places it where it feels like you are almost on top of the water. This configuration also allows this unit to have a very private ground floor entrance unlike most other units that have a common stairwell style entrance. The unit felt very private and secluded, with no neighbors above or below, and only having one shared wall with other units. VRBO is limiting my characters so I can’t write a more thorough review.

Aloha! We just returned from our vacation and I'm so sad it came and went so quickly.
We had a great experience with this rental, easy to find, easy to get in and out of, close to downtown Kona.
We were there for the 4th of July and instead of driving to find a spot or pay for parking we were within walking distance of the parade and fireworks display downtown.
As a family what we enjoyed most was the lanai, hands down a highlight every morning for coffee, and a cocktail at sunset. Cannot beat a Kona Sunset from this lanai. We were able to see the manta's down by the rocks at night time flipping around in the water. The kitchen was fully stocked, ice maker worked great. It was a very comfortable and accommodating rental. I'd say the only thing that needs to be looked at would be the screen door out to the lanai, it needs replaced at some point, but just be gentle with it. We also worked with David in Concierge and he was great, he booked us for Surf Lessons, a Luau experience, and Ziplining. He was always available to answer questions and gave great tips and informational emails prior to our arrival. This was a great place to stay.
Thanks!

We stayed in the Oceanfront Sea Village condo # 1207 for four weeks and had a great time. It was our 15th stay in Hawaii, and that was one of the best accommodations we had.
First, I'd like to claim that we DID see gorgeous sunsets from our lanai! (I'm responding to some of the reviews). We also used the lanai as our oceanfront dining room and a bar all the time.
The place is lovely. It's spotless and very well organized.
All the rooms have AC, and they do the work. We didn't have to use it in the master bedroom at all. Instead, we kept the windows open and ran the fan. It was enough to have the bedroom cool at night.
Both bedrooms have privacy, and the beds are very comfortable.
The kitchen has everything you need. We cooked on most days, and it was easy to navigate.
The Sea Village complex is charming and well-maintained. The location is excellent. We walked to Kona when we wanted (15-20 minutes) and had morning hikes along Alii Drive every day.
The host was very easy to contact, and you feel he cares about the guests. We got all the necessary information, without excessive rules and regulations, on time.
I recommend the place to anyone. When we return to the Big Island, we will stay in this condo.

This condo was perfect for our family of four. It was very well stocked and clean upon arrival. The condo has plenty of beach equipment, towels (5), chairs, coolers, snorkel masks (4), 2 sets of flippers, and boogie boards.
The bathrooms have starter body wash, shampoo tubes, and lotion, along with full size hand soap dispensers. There is a hair dryer, straightener, and curling iron.
The kitchen has some dry spices along with basic cooking tools, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, and laundry detergent.
It was also nice, as there was a bag of coffee and water bottles as a welcome gift.
The view is spectacular! Two of the mornings, there was a rainbow over the ocean.
We loved being slightly south of the central business area, where it’s more quiet. The property/grounds are well maintained too.
If you are concerned about not having air conditioning, having the windows and glass sliding door open creates a nice cross breeze. There are also ceiling fans and portable fans available to use.
Overall, we would definitely book this unit again if we came back to Kona.

The condo was clean and had everything we needed for our stay in regard to making meals and equipment for beach activities. The view from the condo and the Lanai were awesome. You felt like you were actually in the water. Watching the sunsets and the boats coming and going in the distance was awesome. You were close enough to the downtown and shopping you could walk. The comforts of home with the feeling of being on vacation. We hope to return soon.

Great place to stay!! Clean, well stocked with pots, pans, slilverware etc...I'll miss having coffee in the morning on the lanai listening to the ocean and the tropical birds. Nice little coffee stand in front of property too. No A/C but plenty of fans to keep you cool. Only a 5 minute drive to Kailua village, and there are grocery stores and a Walmart within 10 minutes. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!! I already miss it

My only complaint is that the master bathroom needs some work, it’s dated and the shower curtain is too short so that water spill all over, we ended up all using the other bathroom for shower.

The view was amazing. We enjoyed being so close to the ocean and viewing the water - so relaxing. We ate nearly every meal out on the lanai and watched the waves come in. We even saw a few surfers!
For meals, the grills were close and convenient and the kitchen was perfect and well stocked. The whole family loved the pool and the view from there was fantastic as well.
The property management was awesome to communicate with. We had some travel plans change, and they were very accommodating and responsive. We were there in June and did not find the lack of Air Conditioning to be a problem. The ocean breeze was strong and the fans provided helped cool down the house.
The location was great - not far from groceries, and a nice walk to shops and things to do downtown. We would love to stay here again!

Aside from seeing an erupting volcano, this condo was our kids' favorite part of the Big Island. The views from the two lanais were gorgeous, and as beautiful as they look in the photos. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was supplied with all the dishes, pots, and pans you could need, and the larger property is lushly landscaped with a very nice pool. There is no a/c, but there are ample fans in all of the rooms. With fans on and windows open (there are screens), we were quite comfortable sleeping. Listening to the surf at night was so soothing.
Communication was very good. When the unit was ready early, they called us while we were still collecting our bags at the airport to let us know that we could check in early, if we wished.
It was a lovely stay, and we would book it again and recommend it to our friends.

You are literally in the magnificent lava rocks! The condo is Lovely...beautifully furnished, well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed.

-I would have realized that air conditioner did not affect bedrooms. In May is was hot and uncomfortable sleeping-even with fans.
-Neighbors above weren't so noisy and heavily footed with small child running around.
-Neighbor did not smoke pot in the morning while I was doing yoga
-Bedrooms weren't at front of condo facing common area and walkway that was also very noisy.
Condo was what you paid for...mid-range. Had roach when we came in and finishes were also. Bed and pillows were awful-towels and amenities were great.
View was amazing but no great beaches nearby-had to drive 30 minutes.
Overall we much prefer Maui or Kauai for the effort and cost.

We spent the week with my elderly mother. The condo has all amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. My mom sat out on the patio every morning and evening to listen to the waves and watch the sunset. The condo is very close to all the restaurants (walking 20 mins and 5 mins drive). Cathy was very responsive through out the process and our stay. We didn’t need the AC and enjoyed listening to the sound of the waves at night. Highly recommend this place.

Great location in downtown Kona. First off this place has NO AIR CONDITIONING! I’m in dentistry so I am very meticulous when it comes to cleanliness. I have pictures that I have taken for proof. Some of the pillows had no pillowcases. The pillows all smelled. We never found extra linens. Have fun getting in touch with the Grand welcome team. They are a joke! After this experience I will only rent from private owners. The difficulty getting in touch to ask about an hour earlier check in was extremely frustrating and difficult. Many of the towels had disgusting stains on them. We had to wash all of them prior to using. We actually ended up staying in a hotel for a few days to just go to a place that was clean and fresh. As beautiful as this trip was I couldn’t wait for it to end due to the smell of the pillows alone. Whatever company they have to clean is terrible! There were some splatter marks in the bathrooms which is quite disgusting. The shower in the master bathroom needs to be completely changed.
The silverware and glasses were filthy! The drawers had crumbs. The only thing we cooked was chicken wings in the oven because the kitchen was filthy. I have rented before with VRBO and it was a stellar!
The BIG PLUS is the amazing view! It’s beautiful! I would definitely consider a different property. I am astonished that I paid so much for this place.

To summit up, the condo needs to be upgraded. The windows are falling out. The screens are falling off. It was infested with ants and other bugs it’s away. I guess it’s expected but they don’t need to be all over the place. The beds need to be replaced or as hard as a rock it needs to be painted walls need to be fixed. Don’t get me wrong the condo where it’s at is amazing you’re right on top of the ocean and it’s in a wonderful spot at sea village. It just needs upgrades.

Property was as expected. The beds were nice. Lots of great beach gear (6 chairs, 3 umbrellas, 4 boogie boards, etc). The AC worked well enough, but is very loud. View from the lanai was fabulous. Pool and hot tub were both in great condition. The unit has a full size washer and drier which came in handy in the middle of our 2 week long trip.
John had great communication and provided us with a really good information packet about things to do around the island.
Only issue we had was with the hot water, sometimes we'd shower and have tons of hot water, other times it would never get fully hot. I assume it's a shared supply with other apartments and if too many people were using it at the same time there wasn't enough. Luckily it was never cold.
I would happily stay here again.

The complex is an older building but is fairly well maintained. 4106 is recently renovated and is very comfortable. The view is stunning. Right on the ocean. Waves crash on the sea wall. It was conveniently located close to shops and had easy access to everywhere we need to go. Really enjoyed our stay.

This is probably one of the best stocked places we've ever stayed in. Plenty of towels, paper products, kitchenware, etc. The view was amazing, we enjoyed waking up to it every morning. Would recommend staying here.

My partner and I enjoyed this property. We only stayed three nights, but it was close to a lot of great things.
The pool was decent, and the grounds were great. The view was the best part of the entire thing. It was so nice to have a deck to overlook the ocean.
The only cons were the kids who kept knocking on our front door, and yelling hello. I don’t know what that was about. A couple of the ceiling fans weren’t working properly. The bed wasn’t in great condition. Also, the unit could use some pest abatement.
If we were in the area again, we would consider staying here. I don’t think I would spend a long vacation on this property, however.

Both the location and the unit were beautiful! The main thing that was missing that we're use to as a necessity being Florida natives was central A/C or even a window A/C unit - there were only ceiling fans and portable oscillating fans made for sleeping at nights kind of uncomfortable, even with having the sliding door and windows open with the screens shut, of course. Locals on the island rely on the ocean breeze to help keep indoors cooled so A/C is not common, however, we believed it was very necessary, as Kona is notorious for being hot and both dry and humid. Additionally, as a heads up, the shower "entry" has essentially half of a see-thru glass partition? and not an actual door/partition combo, so it was a little challenging to keep the water IN the shower because it's always half open lol. So therefore, only reasons for 4 stars. We were overall happy with our stay and mahalo for the hospitality!
