We enjoyed our stay at this unit. It had a full kitchen with dishwasher and laundry as well. Easy to cook while here using the kitchen or the grills down by the pool. We used the pool quite a bit and the ping pong table a bunch. A few notes for other travelers - there’s lots of signage about no jumping in there cannonballs - or even floatation (noodles, rings, etc) or ball throwing in the pool. Something to be aware of if you have kids. The unit could benefit by blackout shades in the master bedroom.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We found the condo itself to be well stocked, very clean and nicely updated. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. As noted in another review, the bedroom facing the pool area has sheer curtains only so mornings are early and bright😎 Air conditioning and ceiling fans kept us comfortable as needed. The grounds are very well maintained with gorgeous landscaping. The community is very quiet which was fine for us on this vacation but could be seen as prohibitive to some: no talking on your phone or playing music on the lanai. Beautiful sunsets from the deck. Plenty of parking and wagons to carry your groceries or luggage to the building. The location was great and a perfect home base to go exploring the island from. We grilled by the pool and made many meals in the kitchen and found plenty of dishes, utensils and glassware. (We has friends staying in another unit that this was not the case)We would love to come back again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is a gem. A piece of heaven. We felt it was our own little slice of paradise.This was exactly what we wanted. The description was perfect to what we experienced. Great rental unit. Super clean and organized which made our stay the best it could be. A great homebase to launch our adventures on the island. And always nice to end the day with the best sunset we've ever seen followed by a swim in the pool and a hot tub. The unit had all the amenities needed and best of all it had in-unit laundry services which was so amazing and allowed up to do a carry-on for our time away instead of luggage. So amazing The property group was great to work with as well. We actually stopped in to the office while randomly passing by. The two girls in the office where easy to deal with and were so genuine and helpful. They followed up during our stay. Kept in contact and I can't say enough great things about the property management company especially Blake and the two lovely ladies in the office. We will definitely stay here again without question and have already told so many of our family members the same. While there, we totally enjoyed the Volcano National Park, the black sand beach, the local strip in Kona, and of coarse the kona coffee. A great stop for everyone is just a few hundred feet away at GREEN FLASH for some of the best breakfast coffees and drinks around. And great conversations.Canada is home but will always remember this vacation!!!

The property was in excellent condition and had a beautiful view across the pool area to the ocean. The interior was very nicely appointed, with two bedroom both with en suite, full kitchen, roomy living room, and washer/dryer in the unit! The quirks: 1) When we got to the complex, there was a note on the door from the property manager to fill out a form and drop it in the box. We had no communication with the manager during our stay. 2) The 'front' bedroom (facing the pool area) had only a sheer curtain on the window! In the evenings, we could see, and obviously could be seen by, our neighbors -- whether we wanted to or not. Bottom line - regardless of the small quirks, the property was awesome and we'd definitely book again!!

Great access to shopping, restaurants, beautiful view of the ocean where we could see dolphins swimming by while enjoying our morning coffee/tea. The condo was spotlessly clean, with access to linens, towels, beach towels, lawn chairs, dishes for cooking and lots of other useful things! The pool and grounds were perfectly maintained. Tennis courts were also well kept and great to play on! Couldn’t ask for anything more!
