Gladys is a wonderful owner with amazing hospitality!! I own a timeshare and was not able to use it this weekend and have also stayed in many other condos and resorts. We were surprised to see many extras I have never gotten in other condos. She left us with some delicious fruit, all of the little thoughtful amenities missing from other condos such as extra linen, air bed, lots of towels, body boards, even stocked with kitchen supplies such and plastic wrap, foil and ziplock bags! Gladys let us know what time we were able to check in (earlier than we expected) and asked if I would like the pullout bed opened up. I answered and said that I did. She called later that night to apologize about not receiving my email on time and offered to stop by to help us. It must have been almost 9pm at night. I just felt everything from start to finish was above and beyond in the hospitality department!! Thank you Gladys!! She’s the best!!

Perfect for a family. I wouldn't recommend for younger, loud, late crowd.

We stayed in January 2017. The things I liked best about the condo were that it is very private, we didn't have to go up any stairs, the assigned parking spot was close to the front door, the condo was extremely well stocked with kitchen items, linens, and beach gear, and the condo and resort grounds were nicely maintained. The condo is an end unit and is tucked up against shrubs on one side and a golf course behind the condo. This makes it very private. The king size bed is very comfortable. The condo was very clean. The condo is within walking distance of a KTA grocery store and shops and restaurants. It is also within walking distance of Keahou Bay where you can take cruises or snorkeling tours (and great sunsets). The farmers market on Saturdays in the shopping center parking lot was very good. There is also a farmers market at the Sheraton on Fridays and Saturdays that was more of a gift market (not any produce). The beach gear included beach towels, two camping chairs, two boogie boards, noodles, beach mats, and some snorkeling masks. There is also a bath mat provided that we used to line the trunk of our car to try to keep the trunk clean. Gladys has really thought of everything! We didn’t need to use the air conditioning since the condo has several ceiling fans and a pedestal fan. The condo cooled right down once the sun went down with the patio doors open since it is on the ground floor. We did not use the pool since there were too many other places to visit during the day and the pool is closed after sunset. One tip for travelers: Bring re-usable bags for groceries. Stores do not supply plastic shopping bags (most have paper bags though). We went to Walmart and were very surprised that they did not provide any bags for our groceries. They were even sold out of re-usable bags. The other tip is that if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs since the golf course sprinkler system comes on in the middle of the night and it woke us up. We never met Gladys but we communicated by texting and she always got back to me quickly when I had questions. I would recommend this condo to anyone visiting Kona and would definitely stay there again. It is a very good value and is truly a very relaxing and comfortable place to stay.

Beautiful place to spend Christmas

What a beautiful and convenient place to stay while exploring the Kailua Kona area! This condo was beautifully decorated with all of the extras (snorkel gear, beach towels, kitchen accessories) to make it easy to feel at home. The Keauhou Shopping center was very convenient and packed full of places to get necessities (KTA grocery store), extras (yummy crepes, Hawaiian BBQ, independent book store, etc) as well as cultural events (lei making and hula performance). Our kids loved swimming in the pool and playing in the back yard. The only minor drawback is that it is a condo in a 4 unit building. The neighbors were mostly very quiet, but being used to living in a house, we had to adjust to the noises from people with different schedules than ours.

Bright, cheery, clean and comfortable condo, with a spacious kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a nice king-sized bed for great sleeping-air conditioner in bedroom, 2 ceiling fans in main area plus cross ventilation through screened doors. The condo provided everything we needed for a wonderful stay (including a cooler, beach towels, and chairs for outings!). Washer/dryer was a real plus! A good location, felt private and safe, pool was great, very close to a shopping center, restaurants, theater and farmer's markets just up the hill. The bay was a nice short walk (or drive) just down the hill, great for a dip in the ocean. Enjoyed having coffee in the mornings on the back patio, looking at all the flowers and palms and listening to the birds. Gladys provided us real warm gracious hospitality, and we thank her for such a great experience. Mahalo!

This was an absolutely wonderful experience. The condo location is perfect - 5 min to the shore with perfect opportunity for an evening stroll and sunset. Condo fully equipped and has everything you need. Our family (two adults and two teenage boys) felt right at home were we found everything that required for comfortable stay at Big Island. Parking space was right at the door and fully secure. Gladys was so helpful and welcomed us as old friends. We will recommend this condo to our friends and already looking forward to visit it again!.

This condo was perfect. It was very comfortably furnished. Loved having the washer dryer and the full kitchen. Great to have the BBQ on the lanai. The location is great. Very quiet and peaceful. The grounds of the complex are really nice too. Gladys has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. We will definitely be back. We come over twice a year and are happy that we have found a new rental that we love.

My fiance' and I stayed at this condo during our first trip to Hawaii. It was SO much nicer than staying at a hotel! We felt very much at home and really enjoyed the location, quiet atmosphere and beautiful landscaping. Having a washer and dryer readily available was wonderful and being able to cook our own food saved on expenses and made us feel more at home. We enjoyed having coffee and breakfast on the patio while listening to the birds sing. Watching the lizards and gecko's run around was amusing as well! The air conditioning unit in the Master bedroom was greatly appreciated. Our parking was free and the spot was located right outside our door. The condo itself was darling; very clean with bright colors. Grocery stores and shops were right down the road and sightseeing adventures were right outside our door! Gladys made us feel very welcome, like we were friends already. I have already recommended this property to my parents, who are looking at coming out next year. We will definitely make reservations with Gladys for this property again in the future :)

Simply put, I really enjoyed my stay. I wanted to try something different than saying at some of the hotels in the Kona area, and to my surprise, it was a good change. The rental is located in a nice area and faces a golf course. The place is clean, and it does not seem like there are many people around, so the place is nice and quiet. The furnishings are wonderful, along with the kitchen and the master bedroom and bathroom. This gives off a "warm Hawaiian" feel which I did not receive in other places I stayed. I would diffidently recommend this to someone, and expect to see me again.

We stayed many places on our trip and this was by far the best: the amount of space was wonderful, the bed was the most comfortable, the whole place was clean and quiet. The detail the owner had put into providing everything needed was wonderful.
