This property was everything we had planned and the property management team was incredible.
Very clean, quiet, great location, reasonably priced, very accommodating property manager, highly recommend!
It's the view! Focus on that and you will be great. Unfortunately, there are a number of negatives that detract from the overall experience. Needs a deep, deep cleaning is an understatement. Carpets upstairs are filthy with so many stains. Bathrooms had lots of long hair tangled everywhere. Bathroom exhaust fans don't look like they have ever been cleaned. Not being picky, but just don't look up as an indication of rest of house. Drain in second bath upstairs completely clogged and filled the shower pan to almost overflowing with each shower. Property Manager came right away to "snake", but still, shouldn't have happened. Mold in a number of places. Temporary frig in living/dining area as kitchen was broken. Things happen, but no ice in temp frig. No provision made for ice. Went to stores to get ice first few days (pain) and bought ice cube trays at Walmart and did it the old fashioned way. VERY busy and congested area. Street noise on 2 bedrooms facing street starts at 6 a.m. and goes througut the day and evening. Parking outside the gate actually worked ok, but be prepared to navigate constant cars and people. Location was good to walk to a few markets however. Just didn't expect a "city" vacation. Pics look like you can jump right in the water on the ocean side, but we were advised not to since very rough water and really rocky with sharp lava formations. Relax on the lanais on the oceanside of the property, watch the waves, sunsets and occasional whale or dolphins.
If you want an awesome sunset. This is your place
Big main sleeping room with big balcony, big kitchen and living room with marvellous terrace and sea view. Other 2 bedrooms are relatively small, one of them has no furniture to store clothes. One toilet flush did not work properly.
This home had all of the necessities and you could not beat the location. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of comunal living space to accommodate six adults. The nearby private beach was a bonus! We had a wonderful stay!
Incredible location. The place was easy to get to and right on the water. Gorgeous sunsets from the patio(s) were incredible. It was clean, and spacious, and had just about everything we needed for a very successful vacation. There were a few dirty dishes, and the water was turned off in one of the bathrooms, but these were minor issues easily overcame. The host met us on check-in to make sure we got settled in and was very responsive anytime time we needed to reach out. The automatic gate for the parking area broke one of the days we were there and was operational by the next morning. There was parking outside the gate along the wall so not really a big deal. Overall, we really enjoyed the home, the location, and the amenities. We would rent here again for sure! Thank you!
We had a wonderful time. Staff were extremely attentive
This is the fourth time we have stayed at this facility. We have been in #1, #6, #7 and now #4. You can’t go wrong with any - if they are being rented. When I dream of going back to Hawaii (have been going for 30 years), this is the spot/view that I dream of. It just doesn’t get any better than this view. The townhouse was exactly as listed and the pictures were all very accurate. Very comfortable and, well stocked with everything you need. Great beach chairs, etc… and we left an umbrella for someone else to use. Quiet spot (except for the waves) with regular viewings of whales - in March. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants the best spot on the Big Island. We will be back.
Nice house right in the ocean

We thoroughly enjoyed this property and our adventure on the big island, and would definitely return with our family! The 2 lanai’s were amazing for starting and ending each day and we ate every meal outside on the lower lanai 🌊🏝. We also appreciated all of the amenities that were included with the unit (beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, etc). We were concerned, at first, about the separate payment process direct through island resort properties, but rest assured it is legitimate and the team was very prompt and professional throughout the process. Even though there were a few dated aspects of the property (e.g A few older appliances and fixtures), it did not hinder our 5 star experience at all. We also really appreciated Tracy’s responsiveness, helpful tips and support throughout the stay as well. If there’s any doubt, know that this is a very special unit with A/C, central island location, spectacular sunsets and direct access to some beautiful lava tide pools and sea life 🐢🦀🐚🌅

Property was as advertised. Clean with everything we needed to be comfortable. No pool at this complex but location is oceanside with a great ocean view. Beaches for swimming, snorkeling, etc. within a few minutes drive. Very good communication from property management. Would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay which was close enough to Kona to go the beach to SUP or parasail or stay at the beach at the house. The house was really nice and spacious for a family of 5 adults.

This was my first VRBO/short term vacation rental and this place set the bar high for the next. Everything was perfect. The place had everything you could think of, extremely clean and the decor fit the location (beach/ocean). Check in was a breeze, the host met us at the property to give us a personal 411 on the place and location. She provided us with a link to great sights, restaurants and thing to do.
The view was amazing and listening to the waves of the ocean while sitting on the balcony was the highlight of each morning and evening.
The only issue we had was having to leave this place.

This condo is exactly as pictured . . . Outstanding view, excellent condition and great location. We stayed with our adult sons for almost a week, and wish we would have stayed longer. Our only issue was with the booking process. Rather than pay by credit card, we had to send a check or arrange for ACH payment. Also, this is the only time we’ve been asked for full names, ages and email addresses of all people in our group. We almost booked another condo as a result, but in hindsight, we’re glad we stayed with this one. Tracy was great, and very responsive when we had questions. Overall, this was a wonderful experience.
Our family of 5 had an amazing stay at this beautiful condo. The views are incredible. The beach chairs, boogie boards, and towels were so helpful to have and we’re very nice quality. The main bedroom is huge and the perfect place to relax if you’d like some privacy. Having 3 bathrooms was so nice for our family, as was having a full sized washer and dryer in a separate laundry room. This is a very special place on the Big Island. Would love to stay again!
Amazing week in an fantastic Vrbo! Convenience of location to water, restaurants and Kona airport. Perfect place to enjoy the beginning and end of the day. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!
