We had a great stay. Great location to the Magic Sands beach and kids also had fun playing in the pool. Short drive to grocery store, lots of good food options close by. Josh communicated quickly and was also flexible.
Really, really great experience. Place had everything a familg needs, fantastic location, quier, comfortable beds, would def recommend.
Wonderful comfortable condo with everything that we needed. Great location with beach across the street. Would stay again.
Location is amazing with easy access to beach. Pool is fabulous and the unit was as described. Google maps made finding our parking space a challenge in the dark. Josh was very responsive to any questions throughout our stay so never felt alone. Great trip.
Where do I start. Great location, comfortable beds. Very well stocked and I'm not kidding. There was some salad dressing. Mayo, mustard a couple of beers. Lots of stuff that we would have had to buy. The best beach in Kona is right across the street. This condo is a must stay.
i feel like the pics were a little deceiving. The Magic Sands restaurant is across and down street but there was a pic of it saying exterior. The place had a weird funky musky smell to it. But great location and wonderful beach chairs and umbrellas. updated appliances which were nice! Bathrooms need updating but work!
Check in was easy.The unit was clean. The owner was easy to contact The unit felt like home
This condo is in the perfect location, especially if you are not planning to spend all of your time downtown Kona. The views are amazing, the people are friendly and the location is laid back and quiet.
The owner of the condo was amazing and allowed our last day on the island to be exactly what we needed (thank you Joshua)!
The added amenities allowed us to have chairs, coolers, bags and many other things to use while heading to the beach.
The condo is spacious and was exactly what we were looking for.
We will definitely book this condo again for any future travel to the Big Island!
We had a great stay at Josh’s condo. We enjoyed the “homey” feeling, the location was great and view was beautiful. The restaurant across the street was tasty, especially for breakfast and coffee at the Shack and there are many beaches within a few minute drive. Additionally, downtown Kona was only about 10-12 mins. Be aware that the beach across the street is not there in late February/early March - we didn’t realize the beach was gone for months out of the year, but thought it was ”magic” where the tide would make the beach appear/disappear based on time of day not year. We spoke to residents of the village who noted it is usually gone January - mid/late March. Some other pros included: fast communication with Josh, comfortable master bed, nice amenities at the building including pool, hot tub, parking spot, sauna and grills. A couple cons were both bathrooms needing updating, the hot water not lasting very long (ie, barely through 2 adults showering), dirty dishes in the cabinets, many of the pans needing to be replaced (non-stick coating is flaking and basically gone in center of a few), and our infant son not being able to go in the pool because of a “no swim diaper” rule, which we were aware of prior to the trip.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. The property was as advertised, clean, everything worked well, host was helpful and communicative. Pool and hot tub were both good, and never too crowded.
One tiny issue - Google maps directions weren't quite right. The complex has two driveways, and the parking is not connected. Google directs you to the southern driveway, but you need to turn into the northern driveway, which Google maps doesn't seem to know about. When coming from North, it will say "Take the next turn" - which works (because you hit the northern driveway before the southern) but we came from south, turned too soon, and got confused our first time.
We had a wonderful time staying at this property. Nice pool area and balcony to enjoy the outdoors. A great set up in using the BBQ. Josh went above and beyond in answering any questions to assist with the enjoyment of our stay. We would recommend this property.
