Beautiful home in a great location

This property is probably one of the most loved by my family. It is spacious, clean and well updated. Best snorkeling in Hawaii right across the street. Out favoutrite was the lanai..we lived watching sunsets from here, eating together and just spending time playing games in the afternoons. Overall a great stay! Will definitely come back!

Gorgeous lanai and view!

Highly recommend not only the resort but Kona Coast rentals who are VERY organized and communicate well. Love the app and all the emails in advance as well as the house guide. We had an issue while we were there during our stay and they were fantastic.The property looks just like the pictures. We loved the kitchen/living/lanai. Fantastic view to watch surfers and peaceful waves. Watched sunset from the beach across the street but it was still gorgeous from our patio. Bathrooms and bedroom carpet are a little dated but we were happy regardless. Lots of windows and great parking. Elevator! If you snorkel you’ll live the location even more. Easy 4-mile drive to town. Or there’s a bus at the end of the driveway. We didn’t want to be right in town. Would definitely stay here again

My wife and I visited the Big Island as part of our 30th wedding anniversary and we thoroughly enjoyed our home for our stay on the Big Island. This location offered everything we needed and was conveniently located to both grocery stores and restaurants. If we ever make it back to the area, we will definitely be looking to stay here again!

We enjoyed everything about this place, location, sunset view from the Lanai, amenities, size of the rooms, bathrooms, etc. Rental office staff was very courteous and responsive! Thank you so much!

Seaside retreat

My wife and I enjoyed this unit so much. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed to cook. The location can’t be beat as you have a gorgeous view of the ocean and can watch the surfers all day. The deck facing the ocean is large and it’s a 2 minute walk across the way to sit at the beach or snorkel. We recommend this unit as an excellent location. The unit was comfortable and had everything we needed.

Location Location Location

Location of rental is in an ideal spot. It's away from the main hub (Kailua-Kona) but still easily accessible for an evening out to explore/experience the many fine dining options around. And you can't forget that it's right across from Kahalu'u Beach, a popular spot for learning to surf and snorkel (observed it was popular with the families). Favorite part of the penthouse was the lanai; we enjoyed having such a spacious area for card playing, dinner and watching the sunset after a full day of exploration of the Big Island. -Mahalo

Chaotic AC stopped working on second day of our stay Garage is very dark at night. Motion sensor light doesn’t chime in till we get to the stairs.

Beautiful View & Quick access to beach/snorkel and surfing school

Spacious and well equipped this location was great. There are a few things that needed some repairs and they promptly replaced a broken washing machine. We were contacted the day after we arrive to make sure everything was OK and it wasn’t until day three that we realize some of the things that were needing a little TLC, such as one nonworking ceiling fan out of 8 others that were working. Internet, beach towels, and TVs were available along with a few puzzles. BBQ worked well. There’s even a small elevator to help you get to the penthouse!

10x better than a hotel.

This place was a great find! You can just walk across the street to snorkel or surf. A supermarket and some restaurants are 2-3 minute drive. No loud music or drunken people hollering at night to worry about. You can sit at the spacious lanai and enjoy the amazing sunset. Inside is very spacious. The bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean. Plenty of ceiling fans and air conditioners to keep you comfortable. The complimentary supplies were more than enough for my party of 2 that stayed for 5 days. The handy elevator was a plus. If I ever return to Big Island, I will be looking to rent this place again. Highly recommended.

Stunning lanai

We stayed at this property for three weeks. it is directly across from a very busy surfing beach. Lots of traffic noise. the property is very very clean. bathrooms have low toilets; there are no grab bars which is an issue for tall people with OA. We enjoyed the lanai every day. There is a BBQ for this unit. Whales and dolphins are close. Bring binoculars, there are cochi frogs nearby and they are very very loud at night. the property is as described in the posting.

Wonderful Place to Stay

This place is wonderful. We spent hours on the lanai watching the surfers and enjoying the sunsets. The place encompasses the entire top floor which wasn't clear to us at first in the description. There were two if us, but the place could easily accommodate two couples or a family. Our only very minor negative would be the neighbor that ran a blower everyday at 7AM sharp. Some reviews mention street noise, but with the wonderful sound of waves, we never noticed street noise. Directions to place were okay and included photos of turn off Alii. It was a little confusing regarding where to park, at first, but when you get close you'll see the parking places are marked well on the ground floor. Directions say to pass a sky blue house coming up the hill, but parking is before the blue house. All in all, this place is amazing!

Not our first choice.

We rented this unit when our original VRBO owner canceled on us the night before we arrived. We had very few choices for an alternate rental, being so last minute. Overall this unit was nice but dated. It was very clean and had most everything we needed. The unit has old, loud window mounted A/C boxes in the bedrooms and living room but they are very loud and had a hard time keeping the temperature down. We would have preferred to leave all of the windows open in the evening when it cooled off but when we did we were inundated with bugs, even though there are screens on the windows. It was helpful to have a washer & dryer. The company that manages this property, Kona Coast Vacations, were very helpful.
