The property was exactly as we hoped and that's hard to find sometimes. But this property was exactly as advertised. And well stocked with kitchen items, tv's and the best patio. We spent a lot of time out there and we'll miss it the most. The lawn chairs and beach equipment came in very handy. Thanks to the owners for a great rental.
The bugs combined with a lack of AC made it hard to get a good night's sleep. The view is beautiful and the place is well decorated though. Also the grounds of the community and the beach were gorgeous. The property mgmnt company required a lengthy contract with extra fees and a special clause about the bugs.
Home included everything you might need for a Hawaiian vacation: closet full of chairs, boogie boards, cooler, beach bags, snorkel gear; washer and dryer with detergent/softener; comfortable beds; quiet area (except one rude visitor who held a loud business call outside everyone’s open windows at 6:30am); fully stocked kitchen with nice appliances (even the coffee grinder for those fresh Kona beans). Location was good for many water activities (Manta rays, Keahakekua Bay, Hounaunau Bay, Kahalu’u Bay). As no AC, slightly warm in afternoons during our May visit, but perfect sleeping at night with open windows and ocean sounds. Check in unusual as you must meet property managers at unit, but otherwise typical and responsive to questions. Would stay again!
Wow - this unit is amazing! We absolutely loved the set up - and the fresh air (no AC) was actually a positive for us. We loved having the constant ocean breeze blowing through with the sound of waves. We were never hot in the unit and we stayed in mid March. The kitchen is VERY well stocked which was so nice b/c we like to cook a little while there. One of the nicest units we have stayed at in Hawaii. Updated and clean, well laid out kitchen and floor plan. Highly recommend! We would absolutely stay there again!

You can’t beat the relaxing lanai after a day in Kona!!
We always come back to Kona! It’s our favorite place!
We loved our stay here! We could have lived on the beautiful balcony where we watched whales every morning and afternoon—they were everywhere! We loved the central location and quiet complex. It had everything we needed. We traveled to different beaches every day, all within 20-30 min. Loved the shopping center across the street for dinner/shaved ice/ groceries. The condo was absolutely beautiful! Huge kitchen and living room with a huge couch. Bedrooms were great and two bathrooms were nice when we returned from the beach. Plenty of beach towels, chairs, cooler, and other beach tools. We stopped by the pool and it was clean and refreshing. Lots of grills around for guest use. Tennis courts looked nice too and some rackets were in the condo but we didn’t get over to play. Overall this was the perfect spot to enjoy Hawaii! Felt very luxurious.

1. The location is literally on the shoreline with continuous surf and great sunsets. No road/car noise with golf fairway on 1 side and the shoreline on the other side of building.
2. Very tastefully remodeled and furnished. Great beds.
3. On-shore breeze and multiple ceiling fans kept the apartment comfortable.
4. Well equipped with dishes, pans and small appliances.
5. The only deficiency was the lanai ceiling fan did not work. Knutson said they would address after our departure.

Wonderful condo. Great view, exceptional kitchen, great beach equipment.Only negatives were ice maker wouldn't dispense ice and seems like batteries need to be replaced in all fan remotes. (minor irritant)

We are repeat visitors to 5-203. The condo site is spectacular to your visual and listening senses. Beautiful sunsets and waves splashing nearby are wonderful. The owners have the highest quality furnishings and amenities. We expect to return next year!!!

Our family stayed in this unit at the Surf and Racquet club for 2 weeks and listened to the ocean from the moment we woke up each day until we fell asleep. The unit was well maintained, furnished and stocked. The club grounds are also well maintained and the pool/courts are very popular. This is our second time at this property and would not hesitate to stay there again

Super place to stay that had everything we needed. Well equiped for our week stay. Bedrooms were well appointed and suited our family with 2 grown adults in the second bedroom with plenty of room. It was lovely and well decorated and a breath of fresh air heading in there. We thought no air con might have been an issue but the fans and sea breeze we were almost cool at night. We would definitely stay here again - it had everything we needed and was close to everything.
