The view from the patio was unbelievable. Sunset over the ocean every night and even dolphins one morning.
The condo is located in a busy neighborhood downtown Kona and very close to everything. Closest restaurant was only half a mile away.
The condo itself was stocked with everything you could possibly need including beach chairs and cooler.
Personally I would pick an air conditioned place next time, since it gets warm during the day. However the evenings are cool with the ocean breeze. And most days we were gone all day sightseeing.
Holy was a great host and very responsive for any questions at all. As soon as we needed something she responded within an hour. Amazing customer service..

We appreciated all the extra supplies that were stocked in the unit. Lots of towels, toiletries, kitchen utensils, supplies. We understood what we were getting by staying at an older condo complex. So if you can get past the older exterior (which didn’t bother us, the inside of unit 312 is cutely decorated and had more updated showers and countertops. But the winner is that view. It was amazing. You’re gonna have a hard time coming in from the lanai or it not being the first thing you look for when you open the door. While we would have liked AC, the ocean breeze helped a lot. We appreciated all the fans and extra ones in the closet.The more expansive beaches are more of a drive, but if you just want to stick your toes in the water, right out front the condo has some tide pools. They did an abundant amount of little touches you might think normal unless you have stayed at other timeshare/condo/vacation rentals. You won’t lack any towels, they had detergent, cleaning stuff, full shampoo/conditioner instead of tiny bottles, lawn chairs, umbrellas, kitchen gadgets, extra blankets…really anything that could be thought of for the average person. Thank you for letting us have a hassle free check in as well and we really enjoyed our stay.

The view, including the sunsets, from the lanai were amazing! Watching surfers, waves crashing into the rocks, walk on some beach and see black crabs and tropical fish in the rocks below the lanai was all phenomenal! The unit was clean, nicely decorated, the bed comfortable and was stocked with everything you would need! A great unit! When the lock broke on the front door, Holly had it fixed within hours. The one thing that was a surprise to us was it had no air conditioning. As mentioned to me and is true, it does not advertise it has AC. Probably naive of me but coming from the midwest where you can't go without it, I didn't think to ask or make sure the unit had AC. This was also my second trip to the islands, and I had AC prior. The unit does have 4 ceiling fans (a 5th on the lanai) and 3 floor fans to circulate the air (they do a good job), but this still didn't make it cool enough for us to get a reprieve from the heat outside, which it was hot the week we were there (high 80s-low 90s with heat index). There was also the constant noise from the running floor fans that was hard to get use to and was in full competition with the sound of the waves outside. Again, my fault for not checking but it did impact the overall experience.

When we walked into this rental we both were aghast. The rental was in the middle if being cleaned, and there was no one around. The whole place was dark and dirty. The pictures did not accurately depict the small size of the rooms or the balcony. The pool area was not inviting. Upon contacting the host, she said that there must have been a communication glitch with the cleaning crew. She offered us another rental in the complex, but we found another place to stay and received a refund.

Spending time on the lanai will go down as one of my favorite lifetime highlights. There were humpback whales! Dolphins lept into the air! Fantastic sunsets! Waves lapping at the lava right below me!
The location was great for running and walking - nearby beaches were very accessible. There were some issues with fans and lights and screen doors, but that's life on the ocean. The microwave blew up the first night and a replacement was on the counter by noon the next day - really great communication.
If you're looking for the lanai of your dreams, where you can snack on papaya and star fruit while watching leaping dolphins and surfers in the waves. . .I don't know if it's possible to do better than this one. It was the best possible way we could have finished off our vacation - thank you!

Location, location, location. You can't get any closer to the water. We spent hours on the lanai watching the ocean and tide pools. We could see the colorful fish in the tide pools from the balcony. We had 5 people in our party which was a little snug but it worked. I thought the no AC thing would be an issue but it really wasn't. There are enough fans and ocean breeze to keep it cool at night. The complex itself can be a little rowdy with kids running up and down the halls but thats standard at any hotel/condo complex. We've rented houses/condos for about 15 years and this one was the most well stocked condo we've ever rented. From paper towels and garbage bags to kitchen equipment this condo had it covered. Communication was great with Holly when we had questions or issues. Overall it was a pretty good experience. We will miss sitting on that lanai for sure.

Such a great location: close to local shops and restaurants. Tide pools, surfing, marine life viewing from your balcony. And wave sounds throughout the day and night.

I cant imagine a much better condo than this one, it had everything we needed and it was in the perfect location. I could have sat on the lanai all day long and been happy watching surfers, turtles, and whales. Sunsets were amazing too.
