Perfect for family or multiple couples with 3 private bedrooms ( one downstairs with a bit less privacy). The view!!! Master suite with private balcony was really nice although the balcony flooring was raw with jo finished floor. All needed basic amenities were there and the welcome basket was exceptional.

Simply perfect in every way

This home does exactly what it says in the description. It was so close to the best snorkeling on the island and an amazing Restuarant/bar. A bus stopped righted outside if you don't want to drive and helps make mist places easily accessible. The entrance gate could be noisy but didn't spoil anything for us. We will definitely be looking at booking again very soon.

Beautiful spot in great location

The property itself is great. High ceilings, decks on 2 floors, great views of the surf coming in. Well equipped. One thing that would have been helpful is some light on the lower deck. BBQing in the dark wasn't easy. But that's a small thing in the grand scheme. The pool was good and it would have been great to snorkel off the end of the garden, but not when there's a swell like we had. Waves were too big. We did get to Captn Cook and Two Step though, both protected bays with great snorkeling -and since the property is to the south of Kona both were pretty easy to get to (15 and 30 minutes).

Perfect!

The house is very comfortable with a great view of the ocean from the back deck and much of the house. Plus, just on the other side of the fence is an amazing cove to snorkel in. A few minutes walk away is a sandy beach. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Relaxing and pleasant.

The second bedroom up stairs had a gap in the middle of the bed. My daughter and her husband said it was uncomfortable. They also heard a lot of road noise in the second bedroom upstairs and the bedroom downstairs. The master bedroom was great. We couldn’t find an air conditioner remote in the master bedroom, but found remotes for all other rooms. Over all we had a good time. I will recommend this property to family and friends. We plan on coming back next year to this property but we will request one of the condos away from the road.

Great location, beautiful home!

We had a great time! Lovely home, great location. House had an unobstructed view of the water- it is in the “second row” of homes, but they’re spaced nicely and nothing blocks the view. You’re able to get down to the water directly from the property where we snorkeled and even sat in the rocks to drink our coffee in the mornings! Magic Sand's Beach is a short walk from the home. It’s a popular, somewhat busy beach, but it had great waves for boogie boarding and was nice to have something close when you just have enough time for a quick beach visit. The house was beautiful with plenty of room and comfortable accommodations. We loved the big sliders to listen to the waves! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and appliances (and even coolers and extra water bottles). The property managers were quick to respond and accommodating- even just over email. We would definitely stay here again! It was hard to leave!

Property is gorgeous-location and view could not have been better. well stocked kitchen. A few minor things, offered repair very quickly (toilet paper roll, shower door) lots of hot water, towels, good linens comfortable seating inside and outside, nice pool with perfect water temperature. Right next to Magic Sands Beach. If you added a tv in second suite and a Keurig - for me would be 10/10. Will recommend to friends.

Beautiful View

We enjoyed our morning coffee on the lanai looking at the beautiful view. You can go through the locked gate to the ocean/lava rocks all tho difficult entry to go snorkeling. Easy access to downtown. The house is close to the front entrance gate and so there is a good amount of street noise as well as noise from the gate opening and closing, but we all got use to it. A/C worked well. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you would need. Wish the pool was open longer than 30 minutes after sunset. Amazing sunsets from the pool area. Overall, a wonderful house.
