Rental Details

Property Overview

Welcome to my Sea Village home on the ocean. This beautiful, 1 bedroom condo is waiting for you to enjoy your island stay. An amazing location with a ground floor entrance, no stairs to climb! Yet, on the other side, the ocean front lanai sits 25 feet above the sea wall! A very special place to spend time. Panoramic views out over the Pacific Ocean and across Kailua Bay to Kailua village beyond. Watch the maritime activities from para-sailing to dragon boats. Spinner dolphins are regularly seen and in season...whales! Watch and listen to the waves splashing on the sea wall below. Be watchful during high surf, you could get wet!
When you decide it is time to go inside a very nice home awaits. The living area is open and decorated in a tropical style. While the sea breezes flow through the unit nicely, there are portable air conditioners in the living room and bedroom when truly needed. Of course, there is high speed internet, wifi and cable tv too. A full kitchen is well equipped for those who want to enjoy meals here. The bedroom, keeping with the tropical theme has a king size bed for when you need to call it a night.
A very convenient location about 1 mile south of the village. Close to town yet seems miles away. It is a comfortable walk to and from that takes me 20-25 minutes. The Kona Trolley is another option. The trolley runs along Ali’i Drive from Keauhou in the south past Sea Village to the village and beyond. I do recommend a car though. Plenty of free parking for guests close to my front door and also in the village. A car will let you get out farther to explore the island. There is so much to see and do.

The Sea Village complex is a well-designed and maintained property. It is set back from the main road protected from the traffic sights and sounds. All around are well maintained gardens and tropical plants. It is designed around a common center area. A very nice grassy area for families to enjoy. Picnic tables and gas grills to bring people together. A great place to share meals, watch beautiful sunsets and meet other guests as well as homeowners. Just below that, at the oceans edge, is the pool and spa.
At the entrance to the complex is the Green Flash Cafe. This tiny place is great! Of course, they have fresh Kona coffee. Also, tea, smoothies and milkshakes. Breakfast items, paninis and fresh pastries......all wholesome and healthy. This is a small place though and everything is made to order. Get some coffee and wait outdoors while your food is being prepared. Or, maybe phone in an order.

Kailua-Kona is a popular vacation destination on the west coast Of Hawaii, the big island. Built around Kailua Bay, in 1812 became the home of King Kamehameha the Great. The village is usually very mellow with a small town feel although in October is the Ironman Triathalon World Championship! If you plan on attending the event you must do it way in advance.

Throughout the year the area offers its visitors many things to do. There are many shops along Ali'i Drive to visit, the monthly art fair to attend and farmers markets to buy local fruits and vegetables. Many restaurants for all tastes, from fine dining to fast food. Also search out some of the local hidden places! Marine activities of all sorts: swimming, snorkeling, surfing, deep sea fishing, night diving with manta rays, para-sailing and more. Land based activities such as tennis, golf, cycling, hiking, museums. And for some....just relaxing......sitting on the lanai, a beach or a pub, watching the waves roll in as the sun sets over the ocean.

Much in the news in 2018 was the Kilauea Volcano eruption. The activity the past year has ceased and the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park has re-opened for guests. I highly recommend a trip to the park and the Volcano House. Highly educational and the view of the Kilauea Caldera is awesome!

If you are looking for a slice of paradise, you have found it here! The peacefulness of being on the Ocean at Sea Village, with great restaurants and shopping nearby, will have you spoiled.

I am the owner and manage the property with my brother. The photos are real and are of the condo you will be staying at if you reserve it. I get asked that question regularly. I have received many compliments and 5 star reviews from my guests. My goal is to provide the best accommodations I can.

Aug.15, 2023......We have all heard the news about the devastation of Lahaina on the neighboring island, Maui. I am pledging 10% of my rental to the relief efforts there. I would like to ask all who read this to offer help too. Please respect their sorrow, especially if you are heading to Maui. Mahalo

The location was perfect! We were able to walk into town and do some shopping and eat at several great restaurants. We were not too far from a beach, so we got to take advantage and swim in the ocean. The view over the water from our lanai was exactly what we were looking for!

Clean, reasonable, adequate with excellent communication with manager. We had the water turned off for a few hours one afternoon, and we were immediately contacted by the manager to let us know what to expect. The unit was well stocked, clean, and we felt quite safe.

The property was great, nice pool, views were amazing. The place was clean and had everything, maybe a couple bowls, plastic dishes and for the BBQ area would be a nice addition. There was lots of spices, oil, etc. The bedroom was hot and the air conditioner was noisy. The mattress needs replacing as it's a bit like sleeping in a hammock. There are tons of beach chairs, boogie boards, there's an umbrella, cooler and lots of snorkel gear too. Easy check in and Michael responded quickly to any messages or concerns. glasses would be helpful

the view from Lanai is stunning. Beautiful sunset is exactly in front of the lanai and unforgettable. Only con is the big sound of air conditioner, but, who needs it. Big fan is very functioning and makes feel comfortable. And the host is very kind and let us possible for late checkout.

This was the first time we stayed at Sea Village and loved the location. The views off the lanai were spectacular!! Nice pool area and lovely grounds. Great communication with the owner and check-in was a breeze. Can't wait to return!

Michael was very responsive and the condo was I. A convenient location. The best part was the oceanfront view. AC in two rooms was critical though only used in the evening after the heat of the day. Comfortable bed!

Michael's condo was the absolute PERFECT place for our recent stay on the big Island. Everything was exactly as stated, it was clean, comfortable, Michael was incredibly accommodating. We truly could not have asked for a better vacation and Michael's condo was were it all started. With the view (THAT VIEW!) even when we did not feel liek being out and about we would just dit on the lanai and have mother nature entertain us for hours. Michael, Thank you for sharing your condo with us. It truly made our trip incredibly memorable and amazing. I wouldn't hesitate in the least to book this condo again. PERFECT! J & K

Location .. location... location. Saw whales almost every day right, amazing sunsets and crashing waves from the lanai.

Alisa M.10.0/10

Condo was comfortable. After booking the property, I reached out to the property manager several times but never heard back (including on our arrival day). But, the backup contact was responsive. We appreciated being able to check in 1 hour early. The kitchen had almost everything we needed but was limited in the number of settings. The beach towels, chairs, and umbrella were in great shape. We were left 1 extra roll of TP and 2 Tide pods/1 dryer sheet (for a 9-night stay) which we found limited. The bedroom AC unit is a stand-alone unit on the floor which was a bit loud. But in December, we found we really didn't need the AC. The living room furniture was sufficient but could use some updating for comfort. We did enjoy the view looking across the bay at Alii Drive. We could see the cruise ships anchored in the harbor and saw a whale close to shore one morning.

This was a great property and location. My wife and I already plan to book another stay!

A gorgeous setting! The high tide with big, crashing waves made me think the condo might get engulfed in water once or twice, but alas, we survived and had a lovely week on the island and gained a deep appreciation for the sights, sounds and splashes of the great Kona coast.
