The condo was clean, very pleasant and comfortable. It had all the amenities we needed. Morning coffee on the deck was wonderful with all sorts of colorful birds stopping by to say hi. The condo complex was clean, well maintained and beautiful. The views of the stormy ocean from the common areas was incredible. We enjoyed our time there despite the very bad weather that caused us to stay inside more than planned. The hot tub and deck areas became wonderful social gathering areas for all of us visitors. The unit is very centrally located to all of the Kona side attractions. We found it very easy to get in/out of town. Parking at the condo is very convenient. In town parking is expensive unless you do not mind walking a bit.Tom, our host, has made check-in and check-out real easy. He was always available by email or phone and was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. He also gave us some ideas for adventures when the weather was rough. He is a great host.We would definitely stay here again.

As much as I want to give Tom a gracious review, I also have to be honest to potential renters. This unit is out on the Ali Road, about as far away from the pools as possible. The Lanai overlooks a parking lot. Musty-smell in the apartment. The "free wifi" is terrible, we fought it all week. It's not a dedicated streaming service typical these days, instead a shared Spectrum WIFI that's very unstable. The TV's are old and only one allows for any streaming at all, if you can figure out a ethernet cable. The bed mattress is older, but instead of replacing it with a new mattress, they just covered it with a 3 inch foam pad. The fan in the bedroom did not have a remote so we had to have the fan on the entire stay. It's a large lanai, but it's cluttered with extra planters and beach stuff so it's a bit of a mess. The overall condition of the apartment is aged. ON THE POSITIVE: The apartment is spacious. All of the appliances are newer and nice. There's sufficient utensils and amenities to make your stay nice. There's a nice work desk, and covered parking is so convenient.

Our host, Tom, was fantastic to deal with. Check in and check out were a breeze. The condo worked very well for our family of 4. The resort is beautiful and maintained very well. 10/10 would recommend and would absolutely stay again!

A nice property right on the water front. Brand new appliances throughout the unit. Bed was very comfortable. Beach gear and towels a bonus. Unfortunately there were roaches in the kitchen and bathroom. Otherwise I would have given a 4 star rating

Good: communication with owner was top notch. He responded to all of my inquiries & was very helpful upon check in & check out. Unit location was great & neighborhood is quiet. The grounds are absolutely lovely & the pools are right on the ocean so great views. Unit was well equipped, (including beach essentials), lots of towels, extra linens, kitchen ware, etc. Unit had air conditioning ( a real necessity as it was very hot the week we were there) & full size W/D in the unit, which was a real plus. Free ice. Free garage parking out of the sun & rain also a plus. Staff are helpful & friendly. They have an orientation several times a week to help visitors get the most out their time on the island. We didn't attend so not sure if it turned out to be a timeshare presentation which we are definitely not interested in. Not so good: Unit is quite dated & could use a refresh or at the least a very good professional deep cleaning. Things are a bit dirty. Smoke alarm looked ancient, hopefully it works. Unit smelled of mildew although I didn't really see any. We understand that due to the heat & moisture in Hawaii, it's hard to keep things dry but we've stayed at several condos on the Big Island & never experienced this smell.

The property was just as described. Room was quiet, bed super comfortable, kitchen well stocked with dishes and cookware. Both pools right on the ocean were great places to swim or sit in the shade listening to the waves. Great sunset and ocean views from several balcony seating areas.

Nice unit in an oceanfront complex near downtown. Everything was nice, well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen. The bed was super comfortable which was much appreciated after busy touring days!

Nice property. We had no hot water. Tom got us a different unit and was very responsive and friendly. But we went 2 days with cold showers.

Tom was extremely responsive and made everything go smoothly. Condo is well stocked with paper and cooking supplies as well as towels and beach supplies. The property is conveniently located to all the shops and restaurants and is quiet with two pools. We had a wonderful stay and would love to return soon. Thank you Tom!!

The property was very clean. The kitchen had everything you might need. There were plenty of little touches that made my trip a breeze such as providing laundry detergent and dish soap, even a re-usable shopping bag for groceries. Everything was as advertised and the property manager's communication was excellent.
