Everything was perfect. The condo is gorgeous, Debbie and Suzanne were wonderful hosts, available and willing to help with anything we needed. The lanai is larger than most, and we watched pods of spinner dolphins play in the surf. We loved it, and would love to go back.

Everything about this rental was just perfect! So many amenities but the view and beautiful interior was comfortable and inviting, just like home! We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend this vacation rental to friends and family. Plus, we’ll be back.MB

This lovely condo was the perfect spot for our two-week Big Island vacation. The location is spectacular, with the surf rolling in right below the lanai, and stunning views. We only used the A/C two nights because it was much more enjoyable to instead keep the doors open and enjoy the sound of the surf. We had our coffee on the lanai every morning and enjoyed sunset cocktails there every evening. The kitchen was fully stocked and provided everything we needed for meals. The fact that it's a corner, top floor unit made the whole experience feel extra special and private. The primary bathroom was really excellent, with separate "his n' hers" vanities, a separate and private toilet room, a large walk-in closet, and a washer/dryer combo. The condo itself was very clean, spacious, and had every amenity we needed to enjoy our time on the Big Island. We had a few questions when we first arrived to which the host responded promptly. We have zero complaints and would return to this condo in a heartbeat. Happy to give it our highest recommendation!

This condo is beautiful! Very quiet and peaceful, huge lanai with incredible views, spotless kitchen and bathrooms, comfortable beds, and nice private beachfront pool we mostly had to ourselves (small building / not many tenants when we were there). The host, Suzanne,was very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property. Absolutely spectacular lanai with waves right up to the lower floor. Could hear ocean from inside condo. We were on the third floor with wrap around lanai. Elevator and air conditioning.

This place is superb. We’ve stayed in at least 15 vrbos in Hawaii, most were very nice, but none compared to this condo in Kona. When renting, there are several things that matter, and this place has it all: Comfortable furniture (in and out) Well stocked kitchen utensils, pans etc. Hangers in the very large closet Lots of drawers and hooks It has AC but we didn’t use it Clean clean clean! Beautiful renovation! It was like IKEA, they thought of everything. The location and view can’t be beat. One review mentions noise from the church next door, it is not an issue. It was quiet~aside from the awesome crashing waves. We loved it and would definitely stay here again. Mahalo

We enjoyed staying in your very well appointed ocean front, ocean view condominium,. We found everything that we needed to have a really enjoyable stay. I would say the only challenge we faced was trying to get a cross draft to cool the place off at night. There are a lot of fans but getting a breeze to do down the hall and through the screen door on the front was practically impossible most nights but we eventually were able to get the place cool enough to sleep in each night and I have to say that I for sure Highly recommend lstaying there as it is a true oceanfront experience. Would stay again if I return to the island.

When we originally booked this condo it had several outside seating/lounging options. When we arrived it had a table with 4 chairs and only 1 lounger. That was a little disappointing. The condo was very clean and well stocked. It is truly on the ocean the view was outstanding.
