This was the second time my family stayed at this location. Helen is truly wonderful and helped us navigate our trip. She kept us informed of volcano eruptions and potential pitfalls of traveling around Ironman. As before, the location can’t be beat. Close to swimming with manta rays, snorkeling and Alii’ Drive but far enough away to enjoy the quiet. There is nothing better than the beautiful sunsets from the lanai. Amazing place to stay.
Helen is the best. Such a great condo and location.
We were very pleased with the unit. Helen, our contact, was an excellent communicator. She made sure we had everything we needed. The unit was spotless and well-stocked. The ocean breeze during the day and the breeze from the mountains at night kept the unit extremely comfortable. There are plenty of ceiling fans, too, which are totally silent. So, we never needed to turn on the bedroom AC. The view from the lanai is delightful.I give this place a top rating!
This place exceeded our expectations in every way. We truly loved our stay!

Overall this was an excellent stay. The property exceeded our expectations. In a large part this was due to Helen who was our host. She was gracious, kind and so very helpful. She has thought of every detail to make our stay fantastic. We’ll be back.
If you’ve ever wondered what heaven is like, you will find out when you stay at Helen‘s Ohana, and Helen your host is your own personal angel,,, words alone cannot describe how wonderful of an experience I had for the two weeks I stayed there.
This place exceeded all expectations! Helen was very attentive and went above and beyond to make our stay special! She even provided a large basket of fruit from her own farm, which we enjoyed all week long. We've never tasted better pineapple, oranges, bananas, and lemons! The condo is clean, quiet, spacious, and very, very comfortable. We enjoyed the beautiful pool and hot tub every evening. We took most of our meals on the large balcony, which provides a great view of the pool and the lovely grounds. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and snorkels were provided, which we made use of several times during the week. When we return to the Big Island, this is where we'll stay -- no need to look anywhere else!
Our 11 day stay on the Big Island was fabulous!
Ms Helen was so gracious to provide us with fresh fruit and avocados from her farm and a new rice cooker when I could not find one in the kitchen. Amazing !
The condo was clean, quiet, roomy and had everything we needed! Beach towels, chairs, snorkel equipment, paper plates, coolers and more!
The location is close to downtown Kona and to a grocery store and restaurants.
The A/C in the bedrooms is helpful on muggy nights! The porch has a gorgeous view and relaxing environment to watch sunsets.
The pool and hot tub were refreshing after long days exploring!
Thank you Helen for sharing your beautiful condo with us!
Gorgeous property with a view! Quiet complex. Very well appointed, with everything you'll need for your stay. Helen was an amazing host! Met us at the condo and showed us around, gave us a few recommendations for activities and restaurants etc, and also checked in during our stay to make sure all was well.
From the condo to the property grounds, this condo was beautiful and very comfortable. Everything is very clean and very well taken care of. The condo owner made sure we had clear directions to the condo, entry directions and even had her amazing coffee, fruit and avocados for us. She checked in with us to make sure everything was OK and was very easy to contact. We all enjoyed our stay here and very highly recommended it.
We had a wonderful stay at the condo. This condo is spotless with beautiful view, spacious 2 bedrooms and fully stocked kitchen. The owner is super friendly, and gave us lots of great recommendations in the area. Highly recommend this place for family vacation! Can't wait to go back :) And thanks Helen for everything!
Helen was truly an amazing host. She met us at the condo when we checked in to make sure everything was fine and we had no questions. She made 2 beautiful bouquets of flowers from her garden to grace the condo. Her large bowl of fresh fruit was greatly appreciated and delicious. She provided coffee grown on her trees that she harvested and roasted along with the descriptions. It’s the best coffee we ever tasted. Throughout our stay she answered questions, made some suggestions and offered to bring even more bounty from her garden. The condo itself was large and spacious and quiet. It overlooks the pool, a golf course and the ocean. We would highly recommend this condo to anyone considering renting on the Big Island. It is our favorite condo we have ever stayed in anywhere. The personal attention and her attention to detail made it most memorable.
This unit is exactly as pictured. Spacious and well-equipped. Lanai affords lovely ocean and sunset views. Super close to everything you might need for a lovely Hawaiian vacay. Hostess Helen went above and beyond to make sure our stay was top notch. Highly recommend.
Beautiful, clean, quiet, modern, upscale, spacious, convenient location, very comfortable, and amazing sunsets right from lanai!
