Pros: The condo was comfortable and the view from the lanai beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware. The pool and the hot tub were clean and quiet. Sunsets were the best.Cons: The AC in the master bedroom was a little tricky to set so that it was comfortable at night yet not so loud that it kept up awake. The condo is right on the ocean, so the waves were too loud for us to keep the doors open at night.The biggest problem with this condo was communication with Gather Vacations. We have family in Kona and had planned on having them over for dinner, as we have at every condo we have stayed in on the Big Island. The week before we arrived, we were told by Gather Vacations that we were not allowed to have any guests over because there was a very strict maximum policy of 4 guests at the condo, and that included even having someone over for dinner. This is NOT listed on the website anywhere. After several days of back-and-forth messages with Gather, we were finally told that they were wrong and we were allowed to have guests over for dinner. Then immediately after that we received a message that the deck was going to be painted while we were there, and we would not have access the deck. They offered to reduce the price or move us to another location. A few hours after that stress, we were told the painting would not take place while we were there. The visit turned out fine but the stress created by Gather Vacations was completely unnecessary.
Amazing View!!! Would love to stay here again.
The condo is equipped with everything you need from the location to the view to the utensils to the beach, chairs, etc. 100% satisfied thank you so much
Beautiful views right from the condo, great location walkable to town - loved it
Clean! Excellent location with amazing views. This property was a good choice and would go back
The condo was as expected based on listing. It was a great location where we were able to watch July 4th fireworks from the rocks below. The snorkeling right in front of the condo was surprisingly good. There were a few minor maintenance issues that we reported. Air conditioning in each bedroom only. Our family enjoyed the stay very much!
We loved the beautiful ocean front condo. The best part was the gigantic lanai with incredible views and plenty of seating! Very well appointed kitchen with all we needed to prepare great meals and enjoy them on the outdoor table w sunset views. I highly recommend staying here!
Great location and layout. Views were incredible. The main room and kitchen and very warm though. Even with the breeze, you can't cool off, just be aware. The AC in bedrooms helps there.
We had a great week in this condo. The extra large lanai was where we spent all our time. For morning coffee and evening wine, we sat on the lanai enjoying the ocean waves. The property is pleasant. We went to the hot tub each night. Communication with the management company was smooth and their instructions easy to follow. It is a bit of a haul getting all your suitcases from the parking lot to the condo. They provide wagons in the parking lot to use for hauling luggage or groceries or whatever you have. Plan on parking a ways from the unit. We spend at least a month each year on the Big Island and we would stay here again.
One of the best rentals I have stayed in. The unit's location in the complex is the best as it is on the water and is a corner unit with awesome water views Fall asleep to the sounds of the waves. The wrap around Lanai is immense with a very nice table for eating and numerous chairs and lounges. The unit is well equipped and and all the appliances are top shelf. Very comfortable place and I hope to return again.
It's small but well located. The shoreline is amazing and the two-sided balcony is to die for! Lots of time spent watching the sea, dolphins, and activities go by.
