What a view!!

Stay was amazing! Condo has everything you need is you choose to dine in every night. Only thing that was a struggle was the need for the community grills to be updated. If you enjoy watching all the locals surf then this is for sure the place to be as Banyans beach was pumping.

great location

We loved the location of the condo. It was clean and kitchen has everything you need. The main bedroom is large and well lit, the ocean is right outside and the lanai is perfect to watch the surfers!The other bedroom is on the street and am told by our friends that slept there it is a little loud with traffic noise. Other than that, I highly recommend the stay. the booking and check in was simple and the price is comparable to other properties in the same location. Aloha!

Wonderful Condo by the Ocean

The condo was just as advertised in the listing. Very clean, well stocked, extremely comfy beds and pillows, a view to die for, and great location close to everything! No bugs, couldn't hear the neighbors, and great lanai. Only slight issue was the 2nd bedroom is close to the main street and kind of noisy, but we brought a sound machine so it wasn't aproblem. No AC but the ocean breeze makes it comfy.

We stayed at this amazing place for our 25th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. It is really the perfect spot. So quiet, we never heard any noise from anyone next door on either side of us. The unit is close to the end of the building near a little side beach so you have complete ocean views from the deck and access to the beach. It was extremely clean and neat and well stocked with everything we needed, especially beach items cooler, boogie boards, towel etc. We ended up eating and snacking so much on the deck instead of going in town to a restaurant because the views couldn't be beat and it was so peaceful. We contacted the mgr. about a view things and she handled everything immediately, quick, responsive and so on top of it, so impressed. It's close enough to shops/restaurants without being in the overly congested area and parking below in the garage was easy to unload with a full car. It really was a delightful stay, we can't recommend this place more we loved it. Thanks for making our 25th so special!

What a view!

This was our first visit to the Big Island. We couldn't have asked for a better condo! It was exactly as shown on the website and all the extras that were provided was above and beyond. We have stayed in a lot of condos throughout the islands and this was, by far, the best equipped condo we've stayed in. We thoroughly enjoyed waking up every morning to watch the surfers from this huge lanai. We would recommend this unit to anyone planning on visiting Kona. Thank you!

Disappointed

The ocean views were spectacular and the sunsets were awesome. The unit was dirty when we arrived. The floors, linens kitchen drawers and counter tops needed to be cleaned before we could unpack. Housekeeping needs attention.

Nice place but BE CAREFUL ABOUT SECURITY DEPOSIT!

We recently were delighted to stay at this property and treated it as home. Upon leaving we followed ALL the check out procedure to a tee, plus we washed down counters, stove and microwave. We were shocked to have $100 of our security deposit taken because of things that we never did like not hanging wet towels, breaking a glass etc. We were told we didn't unpack dishwasher yet the exit instructions only asked for it to be run. If you stay here, take picture or better yet, ask for the owner to check you out upon leaving!

Great Property!

Beautiful view, absolutely clean and comfortable. Would absolutely stay again. Condo is on the second floor, with plenty of parking spaces occupying the first floor. Living area and master bedroom open to a big west facing lanai and crashing ocean waves. There is a small sandy beach for lounging with a sandy wading area for smaller kids, but mostly lava rock beach. Ceiling fans in living room, bedrooms and lanai. New washer and dryer. Well stocked kitchen, with all the tools and cookware necessary to actually cook. Even a crockpot and things like soy sauce and vinegars from previous guests. Amenities you always wonder about, like laundry detergent, dish soap, beach towels, were included. Lots of things like aluminum foil and paper plates were available. Suggest taking a look at what's there before purchasing anything. Property manager was excellent, both respectfully attentive and unobtrusive. She communicated an unanticipated and no-fault maintenance glitch that affected time of checkin and resolved it promptly.

What a wonderful vacation!

Kathy and Bruce, Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us. It was our first trip to the Big Island and I can't think of a better spot to have spent it. The location is perfect and the condo is beautiful. We loved the way you had it decorated and it was so comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised that the pictures on the website didn't even do it justice! You certainly did think of everything too. The cooler, beach bag, chairs and beach towels all came in very handy. We found your Big Island revealed book and used that to find some wonderful places. We found one secret beach that we four-wheeled into with the jeep we rented. It was like our own tropical paradise that we had to ourselves! We enjoyed it so much that we packed up and went back and spent an entire day there. It was a perfect way to spend our 33rd anniversary. I would highly recommend your place to all my friends and family. And, of course, I hope we get to return one day to spend more time there ourselves. Mahalo, Cindy and Mike Swan

Great Location, Amazing Views, Includes everything needed for comfortable stay

We had a wonderful relaxing time. Owner and property manager were very responsive. Property has amazing sunset views and listening to the waves at night was so peaceful. Would highly recommend. Property was perfect for our family of four without using pullout. It was very convenient to have the beach chairs, umbrella, and towels available. Fully stalled kitchen and plenty of fans if needed to stay cool. The breeze coming off the ocean with the sliders to the lanai open kept it very comfortable. Would highly recommend and stay at property again if return to the big island.

Perfect location!

We absolutely loved being able to hear and see the ocean all the time! There is a spotlight shining on the waves at night that adds the perfect amount of light to see the waves, but doesn’t shine into the windows while you’re trying to sleep. The area was perfect for what we were wanting from our vacation and the property manager was extremely responsive. There was construction going on next door while we were there, but we were told it was an emergency situation and it wasn’t within the control of our property manager. We would absolutely stay here again!

Top notch location and amenities

We had an outstanding 7 day stay at Kathy and Bruce's condo. The description of ocean front is on point! The oceans' roar was amazing. We loved the lanai, and the ocean front master bedroom ocean front was perfect. We never turned on the TV as the ocean and the surrounding area was entertainment enough! Althought we only used the kitchen to prepare breakfast and cocktails, we noted that it contained everything that was needed to prepare dinners. I wouldn't hesitate staying there again the next time I visit Kona... Thank you!

Wish we had more than a week at this property

Beautiful place with unreal views of dolphins, whales, surfing and sunsets. The property was well taken care of and clean. Pool area was great for kids at end of the day. For awareness this complex is right on the main drag with a lot of loud music, the bedroom closest to the road can be a bit noisy. The master bedroom is great and can’t hear the street. Favorite place we have stayed out of all places on three islands
