I gave this 4 stars because the location and resort are very quiet but yet, close to all the ammenities you need. We found several huge cockroaches, the pull-out sofa bed was covered in dirt and sand when i pulled it out, the outlets by the upstais bthroom sont work and one outlet in the living room doesnt work. Upstairs shower also had bugs in the corner that kept coming out from between the tub and wall. Youll have all the gecko friends you need on the lanai though and a gorgeous view of the sunsets.
This was a really great place to stay. The condo was easy to find, with its own parking space right outside. It's was well cleaned and the kitchen was equipped with everything you might need - and they even left chocolates - such a nice touch!I was a bit worried it didn't have air conditioning but it wasn't an issue at all, despite the weather being quite hot. Every window had a good quality bug screen so we could sleep with everything open. The view from the lanai was spectactular - we got some great sunsets and stargazing. It was also within walking distance of Keauhou harbor where you can take kayaking, snorkelling, manta ray tours. I would really recommend this place.
This condo was in a lovely setting. Convenient to access beaches and local Kona attractions yet in a quiet neighborhood. The apartment had a nice view. Two good size balconies. Minimal stock in kitchen re: spices or anything like that but good appliances and dishes, etc. Great set up for a family as there were twin beds for our boys. Very open setting with kids room/ bath on main floor and my husband and I downstairs with our own bathroom. Not 100% private but we were fine with it. The only thing I would say that would be beneficial would be a nightlight in downstairs bathroom area as it gets quite dark at night but too bright to leave on overhead light. We would definitely love to return.
Great view! Nice deck both upstairs and downstairs.Walking distance to harbor swimming and small historic park. Friendly neighbors. Good central location and shopping center close by.

Cockroach everywhere, dead under the beds, alive in the beds. Walking on the TV while we are watching it.
Very good stay, enjoyed the atmosphere! This and many properties make a point of no smoking at condo and grounds, which I understand and really don’t mind, but it appears that doesn’t appear to apply to smoking pot? Didn’t enjoy the odor permeating from nearby condos.
There was no AC in this townhouse. It was a miserable experience to sleep in the hot house. We asked a property manager for an assistance and maybe a portable AC, which they told us they don't have and can't provide it. Let me say, several night sleeping in a hot house was an awful experience and I would not advise it to anyone. In a year 2023, I was thinking that in US everyone has AC's, I was wrong. This place doesn't!
Our family had a wonderful stay at this lovely condo. The location was perfect, and the view of the sunsets were beautiful. The condo had everything we needed, including extras to enjoy at the beach. Our family of 5 had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy our time on the Big Island.
We really enjoyed staying at this condo. Enough space for our family of six and a great location!
My wife, 2 adult children & I, stayed in early Feb 2023. W/all the Cons, most I believe can be addressed, we enjoyed our stay. My wife, & children would stay again (winter only). I would not stay again due to no AC. I would have rated 3.5 stars, but not an option. 4 stars if AC. 5 Stars if AC & Cons were addressed.
Pros: Review sec. does not allow enough text characters to provide full feedback, so I only listed the Cons.
Cons:
No AC. Was tolerable but we were sticky.
New toaster need (piece of junk).
Convection oven blows hot air in to room. Would be fine if was AC.
Not a sharp knife in the place. Lots of old serrated knives you can saw your food w/though.
New can opener needed.
Deck lighting abysmal. You can’t see much & no regular candles are allowed.
Clothes washer seal was gross (mold/clogged up). We own this same washer. FL washers need to be left open to dry out, & cleaned periodically. Should be sign indicating so, & that FL washers need to be drain between uses. There was nothing to drain it with.
TV was difficult to use. Batteries dying??
Sliding door to mstr bdrm did not slide. Since no AC you will open it every day, & close it every time you leave.
Balcony sliding screen doors - one bent & in need of new rolls?
Upstairs sink & mirror area - no privacy.
Couch uncomfortable.
Fan blowing on you all night if you want to keep cool.
Screen-door in/out of unit closes harshly.
Nothing to write with/on.
No scissors to open bags.
the gecko poop on the walls and fixtures was everywhere ants and cockroaches were everywhere called grand welcome the property manager got no help from them payed alot of money to stay in a very dirty condo very disappointed
This was a seamless easy experience to do
Beautiful condo with an amazing view. Everything was very clean upon arrival. The only downside as others have noted is the lack of AC. However, it does cool down considerably at night and there are plenty of large fans to help with cooling. Location is fairly close to Kona and other beaches.
