Absolutely Outstanding
Using VRBO for 20 years, I can honestly say this was the best unit we've ever experienced. It was so well stocked with everything a family would need, things were so well labeled (remotes, cabinets, drawers), and the view was simply spectacuar! Being right on the ocean and witnessing the best sunsets, set the property apart from all others we rented! I would recommend this condo to anybody & everybody!!!

Nice
The above rating was meant for a different condo we rented in the same complex. Please disregard.
Could not have been more perfect. With two young adult children, the three bedrooms and three bathrooms made for comfortable stay for all. Everything was clean, spacious and in perfect working order. Comfortable beds, large kitchen and dinning room for cooking and falling asleep to the sounds of crashing waves. Didn't need the AC in January with breeze, stairs were good exercise for us young and young at heart. Highly recommended for family stays.
We loved the accommodations and the lanai. Everything was as described. The availability of snorkel and beach gear was a nice plus. Very appreciative of the AC!
Beautiful place to stay, relax and unwind. Owner is easy to work with. Everything you need is right there in condo. Go to Walmart for anything you need priced very reasonable.. Be aware that most everything closes down early evening on the island.
Great views ! Enough space for a family of 6, location was great !

Thank you so much for your lovely review!
I am happy to hear that you and your party enjoyed the condo and the area, and look forward to having stay again if you are ever back in Kona.
Warm regards, Shawna
This was a beautiful place at a beautiful location. Spending the evenings sitting out on the lanai watching the ocean and sunset while enjoying drinks and dinner was perfect! Especially after a busy day exploring the island.
Great place that had what we needed for a family of four. Helpful property management when we needed things they were responsive. We would stay there again. Was perfect for our family.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay in this condo. Other than sleeping, we probably spent 90% of our time on the lanai. What a beautiful view of the breaking waves! Everything about this property is exceptional.
Loved Shawna's place. Everything was great, especially the sound of the ocean and the views! The place is really close to Kahalu'u beach, which has good options for snorkelling.
The place is stocked with equipments for Tennis, boogie boards, pool noodles, which was very convenient.
We would definitely stay there again.
