They were kind enough to allow us a very early check in when requested even though they had a guest leave just before. Loved the views. The one thing we did not like is the bedroom had glass slots instead of a real window which made the bedroom pretty noisy.
We really enjoyed the view of the waves even though there were electricity cables partially obstructing. The directions and checkin process were very clear and the unit was very well equipped. Being within walking distance of most o

I highly recommend this property! The ocean view from the deck was spectacular! The property was very spacious and clean, with easy reserved parking. In the heart of downtown Kona with plenty of restaurants and stores within steps of the front entrance. Under property condition I gave it 3 stars because it is dated and needs some renovation, but the location, ocean view and cleanliness to me outweighed that. Also, communication with the property manager was 5 star! Overall I would definitely come back!
Absolutely loved this property. Cannot beat the view -having coffee and wine on the balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean was amazing , we love to people watch so we enjoyed watching the activity on Ali’i. Walked to dinner every night. Bed was comfortable and we slept great . Having a designated parking spot was a plus. I saw other comments about the telephone wires and noise - but we didn’t have an issue with either. Slept with AC on for white noise at night, Just FYI, there are two beach chairs , two boogie boards and two ice chests there as well .
I was thrilled with the location and assigned parking, making it a great location to stroll the waterfront or head out in a car to explore farther locations on the island. We were disappointed with the cleanliness (mainly the floor), lack of renovation in the second bath. We removed shoes when we checked in (as we usually do in homes in Hawaii), and later found the bottom of our feet were black. Didn't go barefoot after that! While the listing mentioned the upgraded kitchen (true), the second bath was a big disappointment! A very sloppy job was done to remove the bathtub to create a very small shower and room for the stacked washed dryer. The tub faucet was left on the wall of the "new" shower to bang your shins against! Also the door was looking pretty ragged with a lot of corrosion - just looked out of place with the kitchen updating. The location was everything we hoped it would be, just a little disappointed with the cleanliness and lack of updating throughout the unit to match the kitchen.
This property is awesome.and the view is unmatched. We enjoyed just sitting on the Lanai and hearing the waves, watchin people go by, and of course the sunset. Loved that it was right in the middle of town and could walk to everything.
Very nice condo in good condition, excellent central location, convenient parking. AC works well, but note that it is necessary to keep the bedroom door open at night for cool air to circulate. A few small things short of a 5-star review, but I would definitely stay here again. Well-equipped and a good value.
It is an older condo but it was very clean and property management was very responsive! We enjoyed being able to walk to lots of restaurants and listen to the ocean waves in the evening.
The ocean view was wonderful . It has elevators to each floor. The pool is nice and if there are any issues its just a simple call to them and problem solved .
We absolutely loved our stay in Kona. The condo was perfect for the 2 of us and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. We loved the gorgeous ocean views and we enjoyed the people watching from the lanai. We hope to come back soon!
We loved our stay at this lovely condo. Everything was well stocked and clean. The view was show stopping! Perfect in every aspect. Thank you so much for making our first trip to Hawaii extra special.
We had a lovely stay. Loved the central AC and fan, the two bathrooms, and waking up to the sound of the ocean. The only thing I didn't love was the feeling of the floor tiles, I know the floor was probably cleaned but the texture of the tiles made it feel like it wasn't so. However, it didn't negatively impact our stay. Also, was concerned about pests in the Big Island, but we didn't see a single pest. So overall, we enjoyed our stay!
This well appointed condo is right in the center of town. We walked to the local variety of shops and amazing restaurants. Every night we sat on the deck and listened to the sounds of the ocean and the local musicians playing different venues. This condo is a place for relaxing and enjoying the locale faire. You will be a couple of blocks from the farmers market, sand beaches for swimming, the pier to take a body glove whale watching boat. Perfect for a couple or family vacation!
Great location, yes a bit noisy at night but understandable due to location and only for a few nights. Other nights were quiet.
Coffee & Breakfast on balcony in mornings watching sunrise & ocean & hearing ocean-priceless! Well appointed kitchen for all our needs. Parking spot is tight, so don’t get a giant rental. Small SUV fit tightly but it fit.
