We loved this place! The lanai is where we spent 95% of our onsite time, other than sleeping. Lush landscaping and unbeatable sunsets! Also great spot to enjoy morning coffee. Pool is nice, the place is clean, and the beds comfortable. What more could you want?!
Our stay at this VRBO in Hawaii was amazing! The views from the lanai were absolutely gorgeous, with stunning sunsets and a beautiful ocean view that we enjoyed every day. The property was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a great vacation.
Denise, the host, was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. She answered all our questions quickly and made sure everything went smoothly for us.
If you’re looking for a peaceful place with fantastic views and a wonderful host, this is the perfect spot. We can’t wait to come back!
Wish this was my permanent place to stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this condo. The location was just perfect for all the things we did and the setting on the golf course looking out at the ocean was beautiful. We were on the go a lot but found ourselves lingering longer and longer on the lanai with either our morning coffee or evening cocktails. The king size bed was comfortable and there are two full bathrooms in the unit. We have stayed in many VRBO units and we found this one to be exceptionally well stocked. The kitchen has spices, staples, paper towel, plastic wrap and any cooking utensil you might need. It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer in the unit. The pool is on the small size but a real bonus on a hot day. There are lots of windows and fans so we were very comfortable without a/c. We would not hesitate to stay again if we are blessed enough to be able to come back to Hawaii!
Great getaway ! Good location . Quite condo , first floor unit ( the best unit 😋) . We had a great time , hopefully be back soon .
Very nice accommodations centrally located very quiet and peaceful enjoyed my stay
Our family spent a relaxing vacation here. Quiet, Cozy, Clean and Spacious home base to explore the west side of Big Island. Denise was accommodating and let us check out later on our last day. Mahalo
Our Condo was spacious with a beautiful view from the Lanai. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishware, utensils and spices galore! Laundry soap provided by past guests. The owner had a guestbook which provided a wealth of information from past guests. (We signed it too!) No A/C but plenty of ceiling fans kept us comfy. Nice pool and golf course on site. Highly recommend!

Condo, is starting to show its age. However its very well appointed. The setting is fantastic. Great views and sunsets. The feeling of total privacy and quiet was wonderful.

Bugs! There was a huge issue with bugs in this condo. The first night a cockroach crawled out from under the pillow onto my arm. The pest control was scheduled to come the following day but did not help. Lots of flying cockroaches and gnats, the entire week of our stay! We have stayed in Hawaii many times and have never experienced this kind of discomfort. The owner was apologetic and sent a $100 gift card as a credit for our uncomfortable stay. While this was nice, I much rather would have had an accurate description of the condo before. This was the absolute worst part of our Hawaiian vacation.
Great spot and it was very fun staying here we did have a problem with checking with the key missing but it was sorted out. I wish they had ac but there is plenty of fans. Over all 8.5 out of 10

I’m sorry to leave a review like this but we did not feel at home. The condo itself was great inside. Well stocked, comfortable, nice mattresses, furnishing, washer/dryer, and layout. We enjoyed our gecko friend too and he enjoyed a slice of papaya on the window sill. That’s about where the good ended. This condo is directly next to the property manager, who actually seemed to be the nicest person we came across on the property. But it would have been nice to know before paying. It would have also been good to know that jumping in the pool and using floaties of any kind, including kickboards, are absolutely prohibited. You will be immediately reprimanded by an old resident, probably a board member, and threatened to be kicked out. And we are good people. My kids are rule followers and good swimmers but are ages 4 and 6 and have only ever known to jump in a pool so they forgot a couple times whilst in the midst of having fun. I overheard others complaining about the enforcement of the strict rule too. I purposely booked this condo because it was on the ground floor and gave my kids the opportunity to run around the grass and be free and enjoy themselves when we had down time. But instead, we always felt like we were walking on egg shells, trying not to disturb anyone, keep voices down, not making too much smoke in the BBQ, and basically not being seen or heard to not disturb any of the crotchety old residents. There was no aloha spirit here. Just retired mainland transplants. We really felt unwelcome. We even spent more money to stay a night at the Outrigger for a vacation from our vacation so we didn’t feel so confined & restricted and could actually enjoy ourselves. It was so nice to see other families and locals having a great time. Ok, but besides all that, yes the large windows, lanai, and view was beautiful. This place is probably perfect for a couple seeking a quiet tropical getaway. Saw many sunsets eating dinner outside, watching the geckos run around, many different tropical birds, and resident turkeys… whilst also being bitten alive by mosquitos. Definitely not recommended for families. Thank you Denise for the nice interior, amenities, and quick communication. A list of rental home instructions would be helpful. Such as filling out parking pass upon arrival (the property manager had to leave one on our windshield) and emphasizing strict complex rules. Yes, I saw random notes posted around the place, but a master list is helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay. It is a very quiet and peaceful place. We spent our time on the lanai soaking up the view and our toddler was able to play out in the grass and explore. We would definitely come back and do it again!
The property met all our expectations and then some. It was a quiet condo and on the level which we liked. It was very well stocked and had everything we needed. The view was beautiful and Denise was an excellent host. Hope to return.
I had a fantastic stay at this property. The view from the lanai is true to the picture and great! The proximity to beaches and Kailua is
great without being right in town. Denise is a wonderful host and was very patient, helpful and accommodating through my many adventures, twists and turns!
Really enjoyed the property.
Everything went great with our stay. The property is well furnished with beach items. The view from the Lanai is breathtaking. It was the perfect place for our stay.
Enjoyed being close to town, yet felt tucked out of the way. Quite, comfortable, beautiful view!
