We appreciated having beach chairs, towels, and fins for snorkeling available but were disappointed that the sunscreen left for us was not reef safe (fortunately, we brought our own sunscreen). Condominium was unbearably hot when we arrived, took several hours for window air conditioning units to cool the space. Ceiling fan in the 2nd bedroom did not have ability to control speed. Lanai would have been more comfortable with ceiling fan. Floor was not very clean when we arrived.

GREAT Condo, Across from SNORKELING BEACH

We had a great experience. The Condo is old, and furniture and furnishings are dated, but it does the job, and the customer service from the property manager is the main reason I give a high review. Prolly an 8/10. When we arrived, it needed sheets and blankets for the sofa pull out bed and we messaged the property manager, and the next day there was a brand new set for us to use. They also have just about everything you need for the beach, so the only thing we bought at Costco was an umbrella. They had a cooler, beach chairs, and pool noodles to use. We also used the washer and dryer and there were products to use there, too. The beach across the street is not great for playing in the sand, but for snorkeling. Hapuna, Mauna Kea are much better, about 50 minutes up north.

Celebration of Life

We enjoyed our stay. We were there for a celebration of life. The hot tub and pool were welcome diversions. I have to say that the 2 rugs lining the hallway are a trip hazard. The ends are curled up and all of us tripped more than once. I see no reason for them. There also are too many plugs hanging from power strips. If you are asking people to wash towels then you should provide laundry soap, although for the price of the cleaning fee, you shouldn’t have to wash towels. Sorry but too many emails! I’m sure many people do not check their emails all day long and to ask for a viewing of the condo while people are staying there is just wrong. If the condo is for sale you should state that on line in your advertising

Quiet area close to freak snorkeling beach

Great location, super quiet (except for the rooster at 5am) just uphill from a great snorkeling beach. We saw 4 turtles the first morning we snorkeled there. Unit has ceiling fans and ac on the two bedroom windows. It was stuffy when we arrived but it cooked off quickly. We reheated leftovers in the air fry/toaster oven, oil, vinegar and few spices for cooking. If you don't feel like going to crowded Kona to eat there's a nice shopping center and restrants just up the hill. Would stay again.

Older VRBO, could use some new furniture and rugs. Barstool material was totally worn off and torn. Couch was saggy and dirty. The outdoor chaise lounge was all torn up. The living room rug and bathroom rugs were dirty. Kitchen was small and had bugs. There was a bit of a mildew odor also. No AC in second bath so it can be warm in the afternoons. Location was good. Overall it was fine if you don't mind dated furniture and a few bugs. Had good supply of beach equipment.

We loved the area in which this property is located, and were happy to be there. We also appreciated the deck and the small pool and hot tub, as well as all the scuba diving equipment! The kitchen is tiny, but filled with every possible appliance. The space is a bit worn, and could have used a few more towels; but on the whole a good value.

Fantastic All Around!

This is a great unit right near the beach in a small condo building that is quiet at night. There is a pool and hot tub. The kitchen is quite small but well stocked to cook (something lacking in so many VRBO units). I especially appreciated that there was some "tupperware" to store leftovers--a very rare item in most VRBOs. As well, they had a cooler for the beach, beach towels, and masks/fins/snorkels which is so much easier than bringing them or renting them. In addition, management was very kind to allow us to check out late because we had an evening departure. All questions were answered by text very quickly, but we didn't have many questions because there's a great "everything you need to know" binder in the unit. I have zero complaints, it was an excellent unit to stay for a week.

Location and extras for the beach

The location was great, having all the beach activity equipment, coolers, and chairs made our days at the beach easy and relaxing. Walking across the street to snorkel each morning was fantastic. We definitely used the ceiling fans and the AC the bedrooms it cooled down fairly quickly we when we came back each night. Kitchen is tiny- 1 person at a time only but functional. We were disappointed that the BBQ had not been replaced and that there was nothing in the kitchen beyond salt and pepper. Everything else was well stocked and made for a great vacation. Thank you

This place is very nice, walking distance to the beach, but kinda far away from shopping areas. U do need car for that. The only disappointment is they said they have grill in the amenities. So we bought bunch of meats to be grilled but unfortunately the grill is not even there anymore only the propane by the swimming pool. So i suggested dont buy any meat for grilling. 😁 Other than that we love this condo. Thank u

Perfect!

This condo was in a perfect location— just steps away from a gorgeous snorkeling beach and slightly outside of the main crowds of Kona. The home was very clean and organized. The kitchen was small but well stocked for preparing some meals at home. There were beach towels, extra snorkel gear, etc., which we appreciated. We traveled with three adults, a young teen and a tween so we were thankful to have the pull out sofa. The bedrooms are air conditioned but the main living areas weren’t. The place stayed reasonably cool with fans and windows. The balcony was lovely with a cozy eating area under a blooming plumeria. Unfortunately, the area got super buggy (mosquitos, spiders, ants, …) after sunset so we didn’t get to use it in the evenings like we’d hoped. The bugs are not the home’s fault, of course, but something for visitors to be aware of. Overall, this place was great. We’d definitely stay again and wish we had planned more time for Kona during this stay.
