Exactly as described! We were a family of 5 (myself, husband, 11yo, 9yo, and my mom). Well equipped with everything you need for a beach vacation including umbrella, chairs, boogie boards, coolers, and snorkel equipment. Ideal location across the street from Magic Sands beach was amazing. Communication with host was top notch and responses were quick. Will definitely stay here again!
Great location a bit away from Kona yet super accessible to downtown and snorkeling beaches! Josh was super pleasant and easy to communicate with. I absolutely loved the huge lanai and sleeping with the master sliding door open at night. Thanks!
The corner lanai is amazing. Like having another entire condo. Beautiful views. Great location. Very well furnished. No complaints at all. Very smooth.
Clean, spacious, amazing lanai area. Host was very easy to communicate with. Loved the walking distance to the beach! Would definitely book again!
when we walked in the property, it was not cleaned and it was in the same state the previous people left it. Had to unfortunately book an hotel end time with surcharge pricing. The owner and vrbo support was not helpful. Overall frustating experience!
Love the location. Joshua's is incredibly responsive to our questions and requests. Only downside was the air conditioning for a couple days was low on refrigerant so the condos warm. But Joshua took care of that. Furniture in the condo is a bit outdated. But the location compensated for that.
The place was beautiful. Stunning mountain and ocean views from the condo. It was so tranquil to sip coffee in the morning and then have a sunset dinner on the balcony. Parking was great. Beach access was simple. I would stay there again!

Worst experience ever. Traveled with 2 kids and 2 elderly people, after checking in found that the property was never cleaned after previous guests left. I wouldn't live in these conditions even if you pay me. But it was 9pm and owner offered a refund for that night and also offered to clean that unit next day or move to another one next to it. We told him we want to move another unit next day. When we came back around 9pm next day and contacted owner for the lock code, he didn't respond. So we had to stay in the same dirty unit for another night. The owner apologized next day and told that he is on different time zone. But only refunded first night's base cost. This is as bad it gets. Also, the second day a housekeeper came and apologized but told us that she was never notified that she needs to clean this unit the previous day, so it seems it is clearly the owner's fault. We submitted complaint to Vrbo after 2nd night's incident and they offered us full refund but eventually refunded only fees and notified that the rest needs to come from the owner which I haven’t received after 2 weeks.
Great. Comfortable. But king bed a bit hard.
Great place that met our needs, responsive host, really great stay with the perfect location.
The location was great and the unit had everything we needed. We selected this unit because it had an elevator and we had 2 people with bad knees. It turned out that the elevator didn’t go to the top, which we were on. We had to haul luggage up the last 10 stairs and had to navigate the stairs every time we came and went.
The location couldn't have been more perfect. We walked to Magic Sands beach each night to see the sunset. Just a 20 minute drive to all the excursions we booked (snorkeling with manta rays, deep sea fishing, snorkeling at capt. cooks cove). 5 minute drive to the grocery store. There was plenty of beach gear for all 6 of us to borrow (boogy boards, beach chairs, snorkels, etc.). And the wrap around deck was fantastic! Great host, and great rental.
Well located and well furnished. Clean and well stocked
This was our first visit to the Big Island. This condominium is well located and the common areas of the complex are well maintained i.e. pool, hot tub, tennis/pickleball areas. We could easily drive to the grocery store, walk down to the Magic Sands beach and enjoy the restaurant and coffee bar nearby. The children, ages 6 & 4, were able to play in the sand on the beach and we enjoyed watching the high surf our first week. There are better swimming/play areas within close driving distance.The unit is well supplied with the essentials and well maintained. The washer/dryer were amazing! The outside decks were really nice.We enjoyed our stay, found activities easily accessible and recommend this location and property to others considering a visit to this area. Thank you.
Loved the location and the space was perfect for us and our 4 teenagers. Pool was a good alternative when the tide was high - always could find a chair to use. Location was perfect- close to DT and shopping (3.5 mile walk), great running and easy access to main roads.
It's a great place to stay in a really nice location close to the beach. Fully equipped kitchen and a nice ocean view.
An awesome property! Exactly as described - clean, organized, full of everything we needed. And close to great beaches. Josh was most helpful with questions and responded immediately. Great spot!
The property was as described. Very clean and comfortable. Close walking distance to beach, shops and restaurants. Enjoyed the lanai and the pool area the most. Very easy check in and check out. Joshua is quick to respond and we were grateful for his flexibility. Would definitely stay again if traveling to Kona. caup.hiforflexflexibility
Exceeded expectations. Truly right across street from lovely family beach. Condo was super clean with comfortable decorator inspired furnishings and art. Hotel quality linens and towels. Condo was fully stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our time there: fully equipped kitchen, placemats, paper towels, detergent, condiments, coffee, tea, shampoo, blowdryers, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, beach towels, coolers, beach umbrellas, tennis racquets. Complex has lovely pool and BarBQ grills. Huge wrap around lanai. I wondered abbot placement of futon sofa on lanai. It was placed to watch sunrise... Great place.
Our family of four found this property to be a perfect place for us to explore the Big Island. It was equipped with everything we needed to cook meals. We appreciated having the basics like spices and condiments. The snorkel and beach gear worked great for us to take a quick 5 minute drive down the road for great snorkeling. You can also snorkel across the street, but Kahalu’u Beach Park was much better with an outer wall creating calmer waters. Our teens loved that they got to spot sea turtles in the water there.
The beds were comfortable. Our daughter loved being able to sleep on the lanai. The bathrooms were well stocked.
The tennis courts were in great shape and the pool area was very nice as well.
We would stay there again if we make it back.
Our family of four had a great time. The location to white sands beach can’t be beat and the property was nice too. The kids enjoyed the beach and the pool. Having beach stuff available in the unit made life much easier for us and packing as well. There are snorkel gear, boogie boards, and towels to name a few things. The wrap around lanai had great views of the volcano and water. We’d stay again.
The condo was perfect for our family. Good gathering and alone spaces. Nice pool, good kitchen supplies, many towels and toys.
Great condo, great location, bonus toys available (boogie boards, snorkels, etc).
We loved our stay! The property was perfect for us, our 2 kids, and my parents who joined us. Magic sands beach is so convenient and the kids loved it. A quick drive to lots of great snorkeling spots nearby. The wrap around deck was great for relaxing in the evenings and mornings. Well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the pool and had a BBQ one night with fresh fish. Highly recommend! Also, tons of beach toys for kids and beach gear.
great condo and vacation! The condo was fully stocked, had everything we needed to enjoy a week in the sand & sun!
