The ocean front view was amazing. Unfortunately, the overwhelming number of German roaches spoilt our stay. I did contact the owner, who never apologized. He was unwilling to get a professional out asap to treat the unit. My husband does pest control, and roach motels do nothing with German roaches. However, someone is scheduled to come out now we are leaving. There was no where available for us to move to on short notice. VRBO’s “guarantee” didn’t help either. I am disabled and we chose this location because of that. The unit itself has a great view, but the furniture is worn and the bathroom shower has rust spots and chips. The pool was supposed to be heated- it wasn’t. The washer dryer were very loud. The bed has seen better days, but so has the building. The location and view could not make up for my husband and I having to kill roaches every night. Pro tip leave the light on and less venture out from their holes. Wash everything in the kitchen before using. Because we found roaches in cupboards. If the owner had expressed any kind of apology, I’d have felt a little better about the situation. As it was it felt like we were held hostage, because all VRBO’s were sold out, and we’d have had to pay double for something last minute, and it would not have had the accessibility I need due to my mobility. We are so disappointed. And VRBO’s lack of care considering their “guarantee” means I will look elsewhere in future to find accommodation that I can rely on.

This condo had an incredible view! It was well stocked and comfortable.The communication with the host was on point, check and out were both easy processes. We enjoyed our stay very much-it was the perfect "home base" while we explored the Kona side of the island.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The unit was clean, spacious, the view was exceptional and the owner was most accommodating. Thank you so much.

Communication with our host Edgar was excellent. The unit was clean and well stocked although there was a broken lamp. We enjoyed use of the beach chairs and cooler for beach days. We slept the first night in the bedroom but it was loud from street noises and bright from outside lights so we spent the rest of our stay sleeping on the fold out couch in the living room and enjoyed the sound of the waves every night. They were sand blasting in the parking garage so there was a lot of noise and dust at times there, and the one way entrance was being used as an exit as well, making it a dangerous exit. The location was great and close to shopping and numerous great beaches to swim, surf and snorkel.

We experienced a cleaning issue that resulted in us cancelling our stay after arriving. The on-island contact and owner were both very responsive and attempted to resolve the issue; the owner also provided a refund without contest. Based on the other positive reviews, and the communication, I'm willing to believe it was a one time problem rather than a pattern, so my review will focus on other elements.

I thought I was clooser to Kona, so that we could walk to the town.

You can't beat the view from the lanai! It's a great location for venturing with plenty of options nearby, or a good base for exploring the entire island. Everything in the unit was clean and worked. The property itself is showing its age and wear. Some reviews have mentioned the road noise, but that isn't a distraction if you're not trying to sleep in .... and there's too much to see and do on the island to spend time sleeping in. The host provided great instructions, details, and tips a few days before our arrival. The unit is stocked with a good assortment of beach gear for use by guests.

Awesome property and great location! We enjoyed spending our time on the lanai watching and hearing the waves!

The Condo at Kailua Kona was a bit pricey. The furniture was outdated and uncomfortable. While the bed was great, it was very noisy in the bedroom since it faces Ali'i Drive. The outside lights on the walkway were on all night which is great, but the room did not have black out curtains so the bedroom was too bright all night long.The ocean view and sounds from our lanai were wonderful. It was easy to get to shops and restaurants by car in just a few short minutes. Parking at the condo was easy.

A very clean condo with everything we needed. We slept well in the bed every night. The view from the lanai was incredible, in particular the sunsets were just amazing. My wife and I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

The condo was lovely and the location was perfect. We spent a lot of time on the lanai because the view was just incredible. Would stay at this unit again.
