This place was an incredible find for us. Waking up every morning to direct ocean views was absolutely phenomenal. Only having to walk a few steps to enjoy an amazing beach was super fantastic. The location is fabulous. Having an assigned parking spot was also great. The unit was clean and had everything we needed for a one week stay. No air conditioning, but the abundance of fans made it a comfortable temperature, so we didn’t mind at all.The laundromat at the end of the building was great because you downloaded the app and then paid though the app (no quarters needed) and it told you exactly how many minutes was left for both the washer and the dryer cycles. We would definitely stay here again. We loved the Big Island and super enjoyed staying here.

Clean yet dated. Bed okay. The ocean view is beautiful. Unfortunately this is not the place if you’re looking for somewhere quiet. Despite earplugs, there’s two roosters who caw at 4:30,5:30, and 6:30 AM. They did it each morning of our stay. Additionally, the property is tidy but it comes at the cost of the onsite manager doing loud yard work at 8:30AM every other day. The doors facing the ocean close and provide some sound insulation. But, the front door is open air grate so there is no hiding from the roosters or the noise.

Roosters are cool but I wanted to pluck and fry them every morning at 330. So loud. The room and location was great! Would stay here again. We had a great time! Room well stocked and clean. No complaints

The location of this unit was great. Next to a sandy beach and nice restaurant on one side, and park with rocky beach on the other side. Just down the street was an awesome place to snorkel with the sea turtles. It was not far from town and a couple of good surf spots. I just had to get over the pink walls and ceiling fans chains hanging all over the place. But heck, I’m in Hawaii:)

Love the location. Room was great with the exception of the floors it was as if the mop had not been rinsed off enought an it left a film of durt on floors so we were constantly having to wash our feet. I love the place though and will return. Thanks so much for making the rental process so easy.

Literally on the ocean where you can watch the sunset over a classic Hawaiian scene. Very convenient location for both Kona and South coast exploration. Beaches on both sides if you are feeling lazy. The one on the south side has good snorkeling if the ocean is calm. Go and enjoy!

A great oceanfront spot at affordable price. Expect some occasional noise from busy street, but mostly quiet and quiet nights. Could use a deeper cleaning, and fresh paint, and shower drain runs slow. But overall wonderful little place and nice older condo complex. Comfortable bed and couch. The remodeled units have higher rates, so I was glad to find a perfectly fine older unit at an affordable price.

The location was really nice. It’s on the water, about 20 minutes from the airport, and less than 10 minutes from the busy tourist area/shopping in Kailua-Kona. There’s a public beach next to the property, and crashing waves/tide pools right out front. The large sliding doors on the lanai were cool. The unit was a bit just big enough for our family of 4. We didn’t spend a ton of time there outside of sleeping and some meals. It’s an older building/unit, but well-maintained. My kids liked the pool… which seems weird with the beach right next door, but it was nice to be able to float without waves.

This unit is in a really nice spot. The good, we were able to check in early and check out late. The unit was clean. The bad, this place really needs updating the electrical is all over the place, out in the open. From the couch we counted 4 different light fixtures/ceiling fans. Furniture dated.
