Absolutely amazing condo for our family trip to Kona. Our family of five were so comfortable in this condo. It was a fantastic location with easy access to the city and beaches. The condo was clean, had everything we needed and plenty of towels, linens and a great washer dryer for us to use before we moved in the our next vacation location.

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: This location and Penthouse Condo were perfect for our stay. Everything was clean and well maintained, furniture was very comfortable. Easy access to down town, shopping, restaurants and water activities. We couldn't have asked for a better location. We were a group of 5 adults and there was plenty of room for all to be comfortable and have our own space if needed. We would all choose to stay here again.

The unit was exceptionally well equipped with everything that our family needed!! They even had beach chairs and ample beach towels and linens as well as a wonderfully kitchen! The location was excellent and close to all sorts of restaurants and shops. We would highly recommend this suite

This property is comfortable, updated, super clean, well stocked and perfectly located. We had a perfect stay. No issues with check in or check out. We had everything we needed for a large family. Very comfortable living area with new, large television. Kitchen was beautiful. Lots of seating to eat inside or outside. We used the grilling areas on 3rd and 4th floor, which have ample sitting and nice views. This place is a great value. We had 6 people in this unit and 2 in a one bedroom unit. It was perfect.

This place had everything you could think to need for your trip. Everything from beach towels and a collapsible wagon to high chair and pack n play for the little ones. There were plenty of games and puzzles available and the space was kept very nice and clean. The kitchen was well equipped and there was a closet full of extra linens, towels and blankets.The only thing worth noting is that there is only one parking space available for the unit. So if you had a large group like mine that needed 2 cars you will have to find parking on the street or in the pay lot. This wasn't a big deal but was expensive because we chose to use the pay lot as it was a lot closer and easier to access.

The location of this property was excellent for us. Walking distance from grocery store, restaurants, the beach, shopping, etc. The house was equipped with an outstanding supply of beach items (umbrellas, chairs, masks, snorkels, fins, boogie boards, towels, etc..) which was so appreciated. The kitchen had all the basic cookware we needed but lacked any herbs, spices, condiments or other things we typically find in VRBO properties. A/C units worked great, view from patio was great. The underground parking lot was a huge help as well. Would stay here again.

Condo is a perfect location to town. It is tastefully decorated, very clean, nice swimming pool, quiet. 6 of us were there for the Queen Liliuokalani canoe paddling races. Was epic!

Great location. Plenty of space for our family. AC worked great. I would recommend Boss frogs( short walk from condo) for rental of snorkeling and beach gear. They were very helpful in giving us local information, on where to visit.

We love this location that’s close to town. The check in and stay was super easy! The house was clean and had plenty of stuff for our stay. The only downside I would say is the living room AC didn’t blow strong and cold like the rest of the rooms. We would definitely stay here again!

Six person family, all adults, had a great time here. The condo is roomy, well equipped and comfortable. No way to beat the location! It's just behind a small merchant mall on the main tourist drag, Ali'i Bvld. Walk through the mall and there you are! Shopping, dining and drinking all around you. Not to mention important (and interesting) historical buildings.

The place was 5 stars in every way. Property management was very helpful and the check in process was fast and simple. The condo is so well equipped from beach towels, to extra blow up mattresses to even having Tupperware for leftovers. I have stayed in a number of beaches house over the years and none have been this well equipped. We will definitely be staying again.

This property really is in the best location. You can walk to shops, restaurants, the Kona Pier. The property is so clean. There’s plenty of bedding and towels. There’s a washer and dryer which is super convenient. The listing pictures show a twin bed and trundle in one of the bedrooms. We were surprised to find a queen bed is now in this bedroom. We made it work anyway but would have planned differently had we known this ahead of time. You can see the ocean from the balcony. We loved watching the cruise ships dock. The communication with the property managers is easy. They answered any questions we had. We will stay here again for sure. Thank you for providing a great space for us to adventure from.
