Rental Details

Property Overview

Aloha! Welcome to our little piece of PARADISE! Our new custom built cabinets and island for food preparation were just competed July 2024.
If you love the feeling of being at home while you are on vacation, this is the place to be! Nothing better than staying in a location that is close to town, walkable to lots of restaurants, cocktails, and snorkel/swimming beaches. We welcome you to our "HOME AWAY FROM HOME". Our unit is on the 1st floor.
This unit is a vacation rental only. IT IS A NON-SMOKING property, INSIDE AND OUT.
Guests have full access to everything in the condo (with the exception, of anything stored and marked "Owners" ). The pool is at the oceanfront, and the BBQ Is located just above the pool area. You must buy your own charcoal. There is also a gated entry to the ocean for snorkeling.
Our condo has a Ring doorbell/camera at the front door for your security to make sure no one enters other than the renter. However, in the 25 years that we have owned our unit, we have never had a break-in to our unit. Feel safe!

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS

I always make contact with the guests before renting. Also, once they arrive, just to make sure everything is to their liking and there are no questions.

We co-own this condo with lifetime friends. We come from honest backgrounds. Professionally, the men were high school and college educators. I was an Investigator/ Peace Officer for the State of California and the other owner worked in the jewelry business and accounting. We respect and wish to have others respect our " HOME AWAY FROM HOME"!
Our lovely condo is well maintained for our guests. Please see our reviews! We have a partial ocean view from our lanai. We are just a 15-minute walk to the downtown area, with several restaurants, snorkeling beaches, and wonderful sunsets on the way for your evening walk.
Our fast secure WIFI, BEACH TOWELS, UMBRELLA, COOLER, and BEACH CHAIRS are there for your use. FREE parking is right behind the condo with only steps to our unit.
We also provide BATH SOAP, a HAIR DRYER, HAND MIRROR, IRONING BOARD and extras in the kitchen such as PAPER TOWELS and DISH SOAP. We do not provide coffee. We have a Keurig 1 pod coffee maker as well as a Mr. Coffee maker, in case you prefer to use ground coffee. Many guests leave behind, foil, saran wrap and sandwich bags. You may use them and we hope that you will be courteous and leave some behind for others to use as well.
Please join us for a relaxing stay in Paradise!

Please note, there is a 30 day cancellation period.

Host was very responsive. Unit was very clean and recently upgraded, and we loved the lanai in the mornings!

The space was perfect for the two of us! A prime location in Kona. You are able to walk to the coffee shop next door and watch the sunrise or sunset from the cute front porch. Judy was great to work with and communicated everything we needed to know via email!

The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we could possibly need, and the location was excellent. The space was clean and comfortable, and the host was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this Vrbo to others. The only minor downside was the air conditioner was quite loud. Because it’s a studio apartment, the noise was a bit disruptive at night. Despite this, we really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property.

Nice condo, quiet complex, a lot of kitchen supplies, keurig coffee machine, clean, spacious, cosy, good working airco to keep it fresh, nice terras, bedroom can be separated from living room. Easy parking, easy laundry & drying (pay via app), small but cosy pool, ocean breeze while suntanning. No curtains/blinds to keep out the sun, but nothing a sleeping mask cant solve.

Cozy small space for two in a quite community on the ocean. The owner was wonderful and was available with questions during our stay. We enjoyed morning coffee on the patio everyday.

This condo is a very clean and comfortable place for a couple to stay! It is a convenient location to explore town or as a base to explore the wider island. Sitting by the pool, looking out over the ocean, and listening to the waves breaking on the shore is a must! The lanai is a great place to drink coffee before starting your day! The host is thoughtful and very communicative. We had no trouble prior to or during our stay.

Great condo located very close to Kona in a quiet and clean property. Unit has everything you need for an extended stay. Great communication with host, and the nightly sunsets from the pool were awesome!

A great location off Ali’i with a view of the ocean from the lanai that was perfect for breakfast and coffee. The kitchen has what you need with space to make meals. The beach chairs and umbrellas are handy and fit into a car trunk for easy transport to nearby beaches. Overall, an excellent spot for a couple of people. Judy is extremely responsive to inquiries and works to make the stay easier and more enjoyable.

Renters BEWARE- READ FIRST1. Upon leaving the unit I video taped how I left the condo. The owner has since charged me for "sopping wet clothing on floor, left very untidy". I sent the owner a screenshot and a video of the bathroom tile floor (where Judy claims we left the clothes) - there are only towels on the floor. All of our clothes are accounted for. See attached photo - there are no clothes. Judy refuses to drop the additional fee. 2. Judy claims we left the condo "untidy". I have sent her a video of how we left the kitchen. Of course, I left the kitchen clean and tidy - Judy did not acknowledge her "untidy" status of the clean kitchen. See attached images3. I have tried to work with Judy over this additional fee, especially since I video recorded our departure, which is date and time stamped, but she refuses. Therefore, others should know what/who they are renting from. See attached image where Judy writes to me and accuses "ghosts" of these crimes. 4. This is NOT a one bedroom unit. This is a studio with a frosted plastic divider screen that can be pulled out. A one bedroom denotes a forth bedroom wall and a door, not a plastic divider. (see attached image) 5. The sunset view from the Lanai is misleading. The view from the Lanai in reality is of a big hedge, a parking lot, two other condo buildings and then a sliver between the condos of the ocean. (see attached image)6. Renters - Know what you are getting into before booking.

As advertized. Condo was very clean, well maintained and functional. An owner, Judy, was very helpful when I had a question. We will stay here again on future trips to the Big Island.

Great studio-style apartment for my husband and I. Well stocked kitchen for cooking meals, clean accommodations, located about a mile from the popular (touristy) restaurants/area. Well stocked for beach excursions with chairs, cooler, umbrella, beach towels, boogie board. The pool area has a great view of the ocean to watch sunsets from. Would stay here again!

Katerina K.10.0/10

Very cozy clean studio w comfortable king bed and ocean view for 6 night stay, short drive to Kona town, building pool is beautiful overlooking ocean, coffee shop next door, laundry room very convenient, ceiling fans help w heat, overall safe and cozy complex. Beach chairs & umbrella were provided, very kind. Unit could benefit from having a dehumidifier, meat thermometer, steak knives, tea kettle-a/c window unit is a little loud to sleep with & needs a cleaning-cars park on both sides of unit so anticipate some activity from headlights & noise plus busy walkway out front due to laundry room.

We came to Hawaii for our anniversary and had a great time. We loved the pool swim each morning and then off to a beach of our choice. We came back around dusk each night and cooked our dinner. It was quiet and relaxing.

The condo met all our needs. Loved eating our meals on the private lanai as the sunset. We were able to see lots of whales and dolphins from the beautiful pool. Kona is a quaint town and within walking distance. We spent an amazing month here enjoying all the big island has to offer. I can't say enough about the condo and Hawaii!! Loved it!!

My son and I stayed in this property to celebrate his graduation from college. It was everything we expected and more. Communication with Judy was excellent. It was nice to have our own parking space. The beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of hot water and the pressure was good. Full kitchen with all the utensils, gas stove, coffee makers etc. We had an ocean view off the lanai. There is an AC unit that we used briefly the first day when we forgot to close the blinds. I would recommend this property at the highest level.
