We love this property and will return as long as it’s available. Right on the ocean, best views anywhere!

Very nice condo facing the ocean, ten feet from the water. An older property and well maintained. No air conditioning and it is not needed with the ocean breeze. Two beaches close by. Sand there is course than other beaches on Kona. Close to shops and other activities. The condo is quite, has a pool and an elevator.
10.0
The property was very clean, in a good location close to Kona-Kailua, and had an amazing view. A very comfortable overall stay for 9 days. We would definitely recommend this property again for anyone who's looking for several nights in Kona, but doesn't want to pay the exorbitant cost for a resort. The immediate area is generally quiet and located close to several public beaches. There are other really nice beaches within easy driving distance. We had a great time here and would definitely recommend again. We had the opportunity to watch two sea turtles up close one day as they frolicked in the waters just in front of the building. The owner was great too - very responsive, and kind to let us have late check-out for a night flight. Definitely a great place to stay for two people looking for an adventure on big island.

This property had everything we needed for a spectacular and relaxing vacation. The view of the shoreline is stunning and the sound of the ocean waves are soothing. We would, most definitely, return here again.
10.0
We enjoyed our stay here very much. The incredible view and the sound of the waves crashing will be in our memories for a long time. The condo had everything we needed for a great stay as well as beach towels, beach chairs, snorkel equipment, bogey board. The street in front could be noisy but it didn't bother us.
10.0
This view is priceless. The pictures do not do the apartment justice. The vaulted ceiling make it feel 10x times bigger as well as very up to date with style. Cutest place and could not beat the view for anything. Parking spot is really close to stairway directly to room. Pool was great and having an ocean view from it was amazing. Hosts were so quick to respond and help with absolutely anything. Wish we had more nights at this place will be returning!

Simply put, this place was amazing. My wife and I enjoyed the ocean view and the space had everything needed for a great experience. We spent lots of our time exploring the island but it was so nice to come back and see the gorgeous sunset while watching the tides come and go. No complaints. The host left a very detailed introduction to the property and island that had everything you need to find things to do. Very happy all around!

My husband and I honeymooned here in early May 2024. The pictures on the listing are EXACTLY what to expect we were so excited to see the view in person. The building itself is a little dated, but as soon as we got to our room we completely forgot about it. When we first arrived we were nervous about the noise level we would hear from being so close to the street, however the waves themselves were so loud we couldn’t hear anything over them. Kitchen was perfect for our breakfasts and lunches, and having a washer dryer in unit was a blessing. We are so excited to come back someday!

We stayed here our last 2 days of a 12 day trip.
It was absolutely amazing! I wish we could’ve stayed longer.
The condo was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. As was the couch which is where I slept so I could hear the waves crashing as I fell asleep.
We found a little beach area just down the stairs with a picnic table so you could sit and enjoy the waves in the sun.
Very close to everything.
I would definitely stay here again!!

We had a wonderful experience. The ocean view was incredible and the sunsets absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful ocean view out the very private lanai. Very comfortable mattress. Parking is adequate and access is easy from the street. As other reviews stated the bedroom is facing the street and at times can be noisy. Otherwise a very nice stay.
10.0
Great place to stay. Beautiful oceanfront property. Away from hustle and bustle of Kailua-Kona but close enough to easily drive into town.
10.0
We didn’t spend a lot of time at the condo during the day, but it’s in a great location for doing various day trips. It had everything we needed and the view from the lanai was fantastic. We took advantage of the small farmers market next door on Saturday and Sunday. It was also really nice to have beach chairs and a boogie board to use. We would definitely stay here again in the future!
10.0
The view from the lanai was wonderful. The extra amenities were unexpected but helped make beach day a bit better. The bedroom is on the street side and we had to sleep with the bedroom windows closed. But overall a perfect last few days on kona.
10.0
Beautiful spacious place, comfortable breezes, fully equipped kitchen, amazing view from the kitchen, dining room, living space and especially the balcony. Very comfy bed and pillows.
When the toaster didn't work, Edgar had a new one at our door in about an hour. Wow! There was even snorkeling gear for us to use, and binoculars to get a closer view of the whales. Free bus service available every hour. We were able to store our luggage in security at the front desk until our late flight. The pool and hot tub were also clean and well maintained.
A great place to stay. We would definitely recommend, and would love to come again. Thank you.

We saw so many whales from the lanai that we lost count. The condo worked perfectly for two people. The bedroom is right next to a busy street so it was noisy. Put on the fan to drown out the traffic for sleep. There are extra binoculars, beach chairs, towels and scuba gear. There is no air conditioning but the ocean breezes kept us comfortable. We intend to stay here again. Aloha!

Great condo. Lots of whales. Right on the ocean. Nice amenities and pool.
10.0
This was a great property. Awesome view. So close to the water you can toss a rock in it. In the early morning sun it was like looking into an aquarium, we could see so many fish. Watched whales each day from the lanai. Had everything needed in the condo: towels, beach chairs, coolers, even snorkel gear. 💕
10.0
This property is beautiful! We are very impressed by the views from the lanai and the size of the place. It is very roomy and accomodating for 2 and we could see whale tails and spouting from the living room and lanai and see fish in the surf. Lots of ammenities here: 4 beach towels, snorkel gear, laundry detergent, sunblock/spray, binoculars, boogie boards, beach chairs, cooler, safe, plenty of shampoo and body wash, coffee and tea supplies. Host provided lots of info before check in and printed in room on local hikes and happy hours, public transportation info, how to use the remotes, and where light switches are located. Very helpful, would stay here again and recommend. The only downside is the room is a bit of a walk from the stairs and even further from the elevator regardless of where you park so if you have someone who can't walk well, you may want a room closer to the elevator.

Loved everything, room, view, location, heated pool and hot tub. Will be staying again. Thanks!

The week we stayed was great. The view is spectacular and we saw whales on 2 different days from the lanai. The lava beach behind the property was enjoyable. There was a bunch of surfers catching waves just behind us. We highly recommend the Shaka Tacoz food truck at Ali'i Gardens Marketplace, it was a great value with great food. It is close to Kahalu’u Beach for snorkeling. Having a cooler, beach towels and beach chairs available was handy. We left a large boogie board for the next renters.There is a reasonable priced fruit stand right next door on the weekends.

We loved it!

Loved the view out the glass wall of this 4th floor apartment - it is as "on the ocean" as I think you can get; certainly the closest we've ever been.
The place wasn't super fancy or new, but that was fine by us - the property had everything we needed while we were there, and we had a great time. Edgar (the owner) was great with check-in communication, and we never needed him at all while we were on the island.
We did run into one day where there were 30+ flies in the apartment (at least, that's how many we swatted), but the remaining days we were basically unbothered. Street noise in the bedroom at night is loud, but we'd read other reviews about that and had no problem at all with earplugs in.
Had a great time on the island in this central location. If you're interested in a photo-story of our time, including pics of the views from the apartment and things you can do with this as your home base, feel free to check out adventuretaco.com/trip/the-vacation-adventure-dec-2023/

Location is good, close to outdoor market where the tacos are amazing. Futher down on Ali'i the restaurants and shops were great.

This was our best experience so far with VRBO. I am delighted to say that this place exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect for us - very central to most of the places we intended to visit. Parking and elevator access was easy - making load-in pretty seamless. From the moment we walked in, we felt extremely comfortable, Sometimes owners put in too much furniture and so much junk on the counters that there is no room for the guest - that was not the case here. It was well stocked without feeling crowded. There was everything you need to have a great time on the island - beach chairs, towels and even and ice chest (just like ours at home.) The balcony overlooks several tide pools and amazing sunsets. We enjoyed our dinners out on the balcony and found ourselves relaxing in the chaise lounges listening to the sounds of the surf. We kept the balcony doors and the windows in the bedroom for lovely cooling breeze. I would highly recommend this place and definitely would come back again.

Lovely view and steps from the ocean. Lanai has two lounge chairs and small table and chairs. Nice size. Fantastic view with amazing sunsets.
No a/c. Not really needed. Lovely breeze through the living area. One day in the 90s, so bedroom a little warm. But plenty of fans to sleep with.
Place is comfortable and well organized. We really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful view. Close enough to town, but is a little hard to walk. We used Uber.
Was a nice relaxing time before we met up with a big party in Oahu!!!

Beautiful views of the Kona coast as displayed on the listing! Condo is stocked with everything you'll need and it's conveniently located near the Poke Shack, also quite close to town and magic sands Beach! We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future!!
