This is a nice property. It was clean and the pool is a nice addition. Air conditioner worked great! The beach across the street is fabulous. It is also close to restaurants and a grocery store.

Our stay in the penthouse was amazing, great location to a lot of different sights and activities but still nice and quiet. Snorkeling in the bay across the street was fantastic and easy for the novice. So many fish and turtles! We would definitely stay there again. The only issue for our entire stay was the dishwasher was left with dishes that didn’t get washed properly in it and smelled a little. Easily correctable. Loved it and made a great home base for our vacation

I brought my family to Kona as it had been greater than 20 years since my last visit. What a spectacular location--the lanai has the perfect view of the gorgeous turquoise waters of Kahaluu Beach park and the stellar sunsets. Almost all of our time (when not sleeping or away from the condo) was spent on the lanai. The property also has good views of the green hillside. Kahaluu was the perfect place for my kids to learn to snorkel, and was our second favorite snorkeling spot on the island after Two Step. The AC in the unit was also was appreciated, especially after staying in a house w/o AC at Hilo the week before. The pool was awesome--the infiinity/horizon pool view was great looking over Kahaluu--a perfect place to chill with a margarita. The kids had a blast in the pool as well, and we all enjoyed the hot tub during a rain shower...which by the way was nice and hot. I also enjoyed the grill and cooked out by the pool one evening. Of course the unit is close to all of the restaurants on the main Kona strip, and also a few miles a way from grocery stores/Walmart etc for stocking up. Parking was no problem and never had to fight for spaces and the elevator helped with our many suitcases. The only negative I'd note is that the master bedroom pillows are due for an upgrade and one night we had some cigarette smoke blow by the lanai from a neighbor's unit. Lastly, I want to thank the owner for being ultra-responsive and attentive to our occasional special requests!!

This was an wonderful condo and property with a lovely view of the beach, coastline and even Hulalalai volcano. The condo had everything we needed and we even used the beach and snorkel supplies. We also met some friendly fellow travelers who were staying in another unit. I would definitely rent this property again.

Condo was well stocked with kitchen and beach needs. Layout was great for 2 couples. Location next to snorkelling beach was perfect. Lanai had comfortable furniture. Would definitely book this place again.

Our first time to Hawaii, and words cannot express how blessed we were to stay in this condo. We had 2 senior ladies. The elevator was a must have. But to get into the condo and see our first sunset on the balcony, we knew we did good in booking with James. We had everything we needed and much more. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay. We will definitely be booking again.

The condo was absolutely beautiful and had all the things we needed to enjoy our stay on the island with our teenagers. Some of the knives were not super clean, probably from previous guests. Otherwise, everything else was fantastic.

Great family friendly condo. Easy check in process. Very clean property. The condo was well equiped with all neceasary items, and then some. It was perfectly located outside of the immediate downtown area, but close enough for a short drive to everything you could need.

The location of the property right across the street from Kahaluu beach park made for easy beach access and a great sunrise/sunset view. Having two bedrooms at either end of the condo with the kitchen and living area in between made it ideal for working remotely while others slept. The wifi worked well. The kitchen was well outfitted so cooking was an easy option. The overall condition of the condo and furnishings was very good and comfortable for everyone. The owner was very responsive when I had some questions prior to our stay. We would readily return to this property and rent again next time we are on the Big Island.

This condo was clean, very well stocked and in a good location. There’s a grocery store and pharmacy & restaurants less than a half mile away. Snorkeling across the street was great and a short trip to 2 step to snorkel and downtown Kona to shop.
My only cons about this property would be the picture in the listing shows a building facing the pool and a slightly more ocean front experience that what it actually is. You can see the beach from the balcony and can watch sunsets from there. Also we had a Hawaiian centipede and some roach looking bug in the kitchen. This must be a known issue because we found a can of raid under the sink. Lastly, the washing machine has a big sign saying possible flooding and to be careful using it. I didn’t use it much because that was something I didn’t want to deal with on vacation.
Overall we were mostly happy with our stay.

We loved the Penthouse, it was perfect for us and the location was great. We were right across a popular beach, plus other beaches close by. Definitely a place to come back to.

The location, view, and comfort was excellent. We ate every meal on the patio with a view of ocean. We didn’t use the second bedroom, but considered it when the neighborhood rooster would crow early in the morning. It was nice having 2 bathrooms. The king size bed was comfortable and the bedroom was dark. We used the pool one night where we watched the sunset at the beach from within the pool. The beach supplies were a plus, as well as kitchen equipment. The negatives, the beach closed unexpectedly for rereefing the coral for 8 days so we actually had to snorkel elsewhere. We payed extra for the air conditioning, and it was worth it. The unit wasn’t as clean as I would like it, hair in bathroom and I was surprised by a cockroach 3 times in kitchen and shower. I suppose it could be because the doors to the unit don’t have a tight fit and the complex was to be sprayed the next week.

My family and I stayed at this AMAZING property for 8 nights in April for Spring Break. The property has a nice layout, lots of amenities (washer/dryer, beach chairs came in handy), quiet private pool, and is only a two minute walk to an excellent snorkeling beach. The property manager was proactive in his communication and made the stay seamless. Thank you so much! We’ll be back again in the future :-).

You can’t go wrong renting this unit. We’ve stayed in several vrbo’s on the islands and definitely recommend it. The lanai (and lovely view) was our favorite! We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen and the beach gear. It was nice to not have to rent boogie boards and an umbrella. The complex is small and quiet, with a great pool. Britt was helpful when we needed an extra fan. Overall, a wonderful vacation on the BI.

This place was a real treat: great view from the lanai to accompany meals; nice spacious accomodation. Little things like having boogie boards to use, the pool is actually really nice, with it's own view, and on top of all that, a fantastic location across the street from one of the best snorkeling and beginning surf spots on the island.
It's away from the bustle of Kailua town, but only a 10-15 min drive there. There is a shopping center about 6 min drive that'll have whatever you need.
Really enjoyed our stay, and would stay there again for sure.

Great location a little removed from the main area. Nice little bay across the road for snorkelling. Beds are super comfy and the unit is really well appointed with everything you’d need to feel as if you’re at home.
Hot water could be a little hotter and could do with some new snorkelling g gear.

This is our second time staying in this condo complex, but first time in this unit. It was clean and had everything we needed. This is the best-stocked condo we've stayed in in Hawaii overall. It had beach chairs, sand toys, the kitchen had everything The furnishings could use an update as they are outdated. Walkable (across the street) to Kahalu'u for snorkeling and surfing, you do need to drive about 3 minutes away for dining and restaurants. Kona downtown is about 15 minutes to the north.

This unit is perfectly located on the top floor of condo complex across the street from one of the island’s best snorkeling bays. Area is generally quiet and close to shopping and dining services. We enjoyed our stay and hope to repeat again next year.

My 3rd time coming back to this location!
Across from great snorkeling. Infinity pool and lanai overlook Ali’i and the ocean
Short bike to central kona. Great location for Ironman. Unit is quiet, clean, and well supplied.

Nice property at a good price for two bedrooms. The unit is on the third floor, which makes views of the ocean better (but leads to climbing a lot of stairs if you are coming and going). The property is across the street from the beach, not on the beach. Convenient location, about 10-15 minutes south of the downtown Kona area. Struggled with the AC setup: You must pay extra if you want AC and it is on a timer that shuts off after a short amount of time. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. If you need two bedrooms at a reasonable price this will work well for you.

Perfect condo. Had everything you would need. Right across the street from a fabulous snorkeling beach. Downtown was just a couple miles down the main road with many good restaurants. Enjoy our stay immensely.

. This is our second trip to the Big Island. Previously we stayed north at the Fairmont Orchid, a five star hotel. We enjoyed that trip immensely, but this one was more economical and closer to restaurants and activities. I highly recommend this location. The two bedroom condo was perfect for our needs and was well-stocked with needed items. The only suggestion our entire family had was to upgrade the beds. Unfortunately, they were quite uncomfortable which can cause irritability when you don’t get a good night sleep. All four of us had the same complaint. Even so, the location and overall experience in this VRBO was excellent. The snorkeling in the bay below is some of the best on all the islands of Hawaii. We went to three other locations on the Big Island, and in front of this condo was the best with live coral and numerous ocean life. I would highly recommend staying here and would consider it again.
