Communicating with Barry was easy and he was super helpful. Condo lies 6km away from kailua-kona and next to the most beautiful beach on the island(planet). Big balcony was in use and we even saw dolphins twice in the morning as we were eating breakfast.

This place is incredible! The view alone is amazing, and the pictures alone do not do it justice. Awesome sunset views every night! Walking to the beach everyday is a dream, and its so easy to jump on Ali'i drive and go into Kona for the farmers market, or grab a bite to eat. This is exactly where we will stay when we come back to Kona!

The furniture in and out of condo could do with some updating. The inside of condo is in need of some tender loving care and cleaning. The location is what sells this location with the ocean sounds and sights everything you could hope for. The manager was very responsive to any of our needs and helpful in resolving any issue we had while there. Thanks for your hospitality.

From the moment we walked in, our jaw dropped at the view! Unreal! Worst day of our life was having to leave! Amazing views, very clean! We saw dolphins and whales everyday! Had to do 4 stars though- first) the unit right next to us was undergoing extreme maintenance. One morning we were woken at 7:45am with hammers and drills, we thought they were going to bring our wall down! That was very unpleasant and upsetting. Also, water pressure in the shower is very poor. Aside from those two ordeals, we have no complaints.

Ocean waves were extremely loud making it difficult to sleep. You would actually think they were coming through the balcony windows and doors. Very amazing views of sunsets and ocean life. Very good location however you needed to drive everywhere, nothing in walking distance. Lot's of little insects around and shower had very low pressure. Overall it was a very nice stay.

My husband and I stayed here for a few nights and LOVED it!! Talk about a view off a balcony...I would, but it left me speechless! We stayed in 3 different places on 2 Hawaiian islands, and this was by far the most incredible view we experienced and the most up-close, intimate experience of the ocean, sunsets, and the two unbelievably perfectly placed palm trees that absolutely made you feel like you were in a gorgeous post card. The lodging itself was perfect, private, clean, with everything you could want. A kitchen, DVDs, a pool, comfortable bed, laundry facilities, and more. With the incredibly fun town of Kona as your surrounding, you couldn't ask for more. Fantastic beach was right next to our unit. Great memories, great everything. Enjoy!
