We absolutely love this place. The location is wonderful -- end unit, next to Kona golf course and on the ocean. Plus it has air conditioning which makes it very comfortable on hot steamy days.

Lots of outdoor seating. Had everything needed for cooking and days at the beach (chairs, umbrella and a small cooler in the pantry closet. Several books about visiting HI (The Big Island Revealed was very helpful and even a bit funny). Internet/TV worked well. AC units worked well to keep the condo cool). Beds and furniture comfortable. Very good washer, dryer and dishwasher. Easy access to pool, courts, volley ball and grills. Close to grocery and some restaurants (Walking distance but uphill). Quick response from management for questions we had. Note that you can hear footsteps and moving of chairs from the upstairs unit. There is not an ice maker but they did have ice trays in the freezer. Wine fridge was great bottles of water, etc. The grocery store charges for bags so bring a tote bag or check pantry closet near the kitchen for paper bags. Guest room does not have allot of space to unpack clothing. Kids did not mind but may be an issue if traveling with adults. The Surf and Racquet club is very well taken care of. Kona was a great location to stay. 1-2 hour drive other side of the island (avoid rush hour). 30 min from Kua Bay for snorkel and beach day (get there early if you don't want to park and walk far). Very little rain. Got cloudy but never seemed to make it down the mountain. Must see/do - Enjoy the condo! :) Best part of the trip was sitting on the Lani with coffee or wine and watching the waves, sunsets, manta rays, dolphins, cruise ships etc. You can enjoy the Lani with no worries of sunburn until about 3/4pm. Go to Mauna Kea visitors center on a clear day (fyi - it's cold 40 degrees colder than Kona, bring snacks and water or maybe a hot beverage), Volcano national park (drive all the way down the road of craters to the beach. It a long drive but beautiful), Snorkel captain cook, Manta Ray night snorkel. Overall a wonderful location to stay and would highly recommend.

This condo is a bit out of the way when finding it - several blogs away from the main check in. But it is worth it. It is a corner unit that is bordered by a lovely golf course on one side and the ocean on the other. The kitchen was really well stocked. Great furnishings. Beach chairs and boogie boards and other items are in the unit. The beds are not the most comfortable. And the bathrooms are not air conditioned and they get pretty warm. The bathrooms are really nice and have lots of towels. The washer/dryer units were large and held a lot of items. One issue brought to the owners attention was the TV - it disconnected from cable each day, which required an internet and cable reset daily. The unit is a bit pricey, but it is a great place to stay. The communal pool is nice and temp is good.
We stayed in this condo in Feb. 2023. Loved it so much, we booked again and stayed in May 2024. We’ll be back!

A beautiful and relaxing condo,whales and dolphins to entertain us daily very private, something or someone was very noisy on the upper level starting everyday at 6a.m.we thought it was construction but saw no one.
We enjoyed our stay. The views from the lanai are wonderful. The condo is homey and the beds are comfortable. The condo is stocked with everything you need. We would stay here again.

Overall, a very pleasant visit to this property. Superb views of the ocean. Very quiet. Nicely appointed, especially the kitchen. Lots of supplies to enhance ones experience. Comfortable for my family and I would recommend it. The manta ray snorkel experience is only a 5 min drive away and would recommend.Only ran into a couple of glitches. Given wrong directions to the unit and an incorrect parking space number by the management company, which delayed our entrance to the unit. They were very responsive to questions. Also, there is some type of mechanical unit in the primary bedroom closet that kicks in for just a few seconds every hour or two. It may wake you up if you're a light sleeper. Would still stay here again.

The views are spectacular loved the place!!!!!
Overall a very nice unit. New furniture on the lanai, not yet shown in the photos, was perfect and of course the sunset views were fantastic. It was great being able to move a couple chairs out beyond the tiled section to see more of the sky during sunset but be aware there is no barrier separating this extended space from the next unit. Shouldn't be a problem most of the time but our neighbors for much of the week had a small child with a penchant for invading our privacy, once even pressing his face up against the screen door while we were inside and shouting "hello!" Fortunately they kept him contained most of the time.
The unit itself was plenty large, especially for just two guests, but still felt a bit cramped because much of the furniture is a little too large. The king bed is too close to the dresser. The big, heavy dining room chairs took some effort to move, but if we left them pulled out a bit they blocked access to the raised kitchen counter, which otherwise served great as a charging station and staging area for sunglasses, water bottles and such.
The parking is a decent hike from the unit. Good for privacy but no so great when ferrying luggage or it's raining.
So no major issues, just lots of minor annoyances that kept it from seeming perfect. But the bed was comfortable, the kitchen and bathrooms were fine, and of course the view speaks for itself. And the full size stacked washer/dryer were quite possibly the nicest things in the entire place.
