Great location, with a beautiful view. My husband and I stayed here for 11 nights and we really enjoyed our stay. The lanai was perfect, we sat out there every night we could to watch the sunset. One of the a/c’s stopped working while we were there, I contacted the host and the a/c was replaced by the next morning. We were impressed by the quick response and how they handled the situation. The location is just far enough away from downtown Kona that you don’t get the road noise and heavy traffic, but still convenient to shops and other activities. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

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

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!

Wires in the ocean view There was a beeping sound outside all night disturbing us Property has same address as other properties in the same area and we went to the one in front first. 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. Fall and injury risk Had to go into other guests lanai to get to our property

We stayed on the 3rd floor of this rental. There are two units on the second floor. The 3rd floor has an elevator which is super helpful for transporting luggage, groceries, and snorkeling gear! Rental was very clean and well stocked with beach and snorkeling items. The two bedrooms were nice and perfect for a family of four with a 9 and 11 year old. The lanai was incredible with beautiful beach, surfing, and sunset views. The unit had all the pots, pans, and utensils you would need but there isn’t much for cooking basics other than salt and pepper. No coffee, oil, condiment, or other consumables so be sure to bring it with you. Air conditioning is hard to come by in rentals but this unit has 3. One in each bedroom and one in the living area. The living area unit is t up to the task to cool the area so we left it off. It is also on the same breaker as the TV, internet, and bathroom lights which is only 15Amps so it would pop the breaker. The bedroom ACs will cool the rooms down if the doors are closed and the fans are off. The ceilings are open, so you don’t want the fans to pull in hot air from the rest of the house. Just let the cooler air settle with the doors closed. The “den” bedroom cools down the best. We only used the AC at night, the rest of the time we just opened all the doors and windows. The upper windows can be opened with a metal pole with a hook on it that is in one of the closets. This will let plenty of air flow. We would definitely stay again!

This property had everything you could need in a Hawaiian vacation home. Beds were super comfortable, the deck (lanai) was spectacular. The breeze and fans in every room made it so comfortable, we never needed to use the air conditioning.
