The property was as listed. Very pleased with everything. Very enjoyable and well furnished.Would be helpful to have more info with the recycle instructions in the handbook. Recycle has to be separated and cans crushed. Only glass, crushed cans (crusher on site) and cardboard bins.
We enjoyed our visit, quiet, and pleasant. Our time went by quickly and we were sad it came to an end. We appreciate the management company as they were helpful and prompt. Everyone we met during our stay were kind and friendly.
I stayed for 2weeks and had a very comfortable time at the golf villa.
We were very happy with this VRBO. It is exactly as pictured and described. Was very quiet. Right by the pool, and I had it to myself every time I was in. Easy short drive to everywhere on Kona Coast. We would stay there again for sure. Had a bit of a hard time openning lock box for key, but were able to get ahold of someone after hours and were able to get it open. Unit had everything we could possibly need as far as kitchen and beach equipment.
Excellent! Better than shown on the website.
Location-good. Condo could have been cleaner, only minimally clean. Dirt under furniture, ceiling fans dirty, bathtub could have been cleaner. Not enough towels (only 2 hands & 2 washcloths. Some were stained and dingy. People friendly. Could be a nice condo, but needs care. Pool sometimes closed. Water cloudy. Yard work very noisy. Wouldn't stay again.
We throughly enjoyed our 2 week stay here. Very safe and quiet neighborhood. We are 2 semi retired adults looking for a relaxing place to stay- we found it here. Perfect location- far enough from town but not too far to drive to.
The location is a close walk to the water and to some shopping and the Saturday farmers market. Quiet neighborhood over looking the golf course just 20 minute drive to Kona. Clear instructions for arrival and check out at the end of our stay. We were told there weren't any beach chairs in the unit but there were 2 in the towel closest. Overall excellent place for a relaxing vacation.
This was our second stay in this property. We love it and hope to come again.

This was our second stay in this condo. We stayed there last year and we loved it.
This condo had an excellent update with air-conditioning. One was in the bedroom and one in the living room. It's the units on the wall so it's extremely quiet and it works great. It was the best surprise for us. The view from the balcony is perfect. Lot's of palm trees, other trees and so many birds singing. All day, but in the morning it's more loud. They woke us up, beautiful alrm clock. This condo had everything you need. Toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags and even a soap and shampoo, towels and beach towels. Area is quite and the shops are close by up on the hill. Kona downtown is a little drive but it's still close. Beaches are close by. Another thing in this condo was how close the ocean was to go to watch the sunset. You just walk through the golf course, probably 5 minutes and you are there. We highly recommend to go to see the sunset, it's different every time. Pool is nice to use. This area is quite and if you like to relax then this condo is a must. We will definitely stay here again. We have been coming to Hawaii for 20 years, and this condo is our number 1 to stay in. Even the cars, driving on the street you do not hear them at all. We enjoyed our stay and can't wait to be back. Mahalo for sharing your condo with us.
Our room viewed the golf course and a pool was right out front of our condo.....quiet and nice....we'll come again. Friendly neighbors and employees.

Very spacious and peaceful, with very comfortable bed. Lanai was huge although we didn't get to spend much time out there, given that we were on the go with so many activities nearby. Loved staying out of the busy Kona area but still had everything we needed closeby with Keauhou Shopping Center within walking distance.
We had a very pleasant experience. We have stayed closer to downtown Kona several times and enjoyed it but were looking for something a little more private and quiet. The condo complex is very quiet (except for the birds) and it was entertaining to watch the golfers. The grounds staff was attentive and friendly and the pool was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need in the way of tableware, utensils, pots and pans and cooking appliances. There was body wash and some small soaps for the bathrooms as well as starting supplies of tp, garbage bags, laundry detergent and dishwashing soap. It was nice to have 2 bathrooms and the sofa sleeper. I never expect condos to have food items or cooking oils/spices so being able to walk to the shopping center was a real advantage. There is a farmers market there every Saturday morning, several well-stocked stores, great restaurants, and a post office. It is also a very easy walk to the golf course clubhouse cafe and the Outrigger Hotel so the location was convenient for us.

We like staying in condos on the Big Island so we can save money not eating out. We've stayed in Keauhou dozens of times, and discovered one of the best bargains is marinated meats from the local KTA. So having a BBQ was important to us - I specifically asked about this as the listing didnt mention it. Owner stated 'there is shared BBQ'. Upon arriving we found this untrue. Apparently english isnt the owners strong point.
Another MAJOR disappointment was every speck of kitchen basics was gone. Not even salt/pepper. Every other condo we've ever stayed in had a variety of kitchen basics left over from previous guests; salt, pepper, oils, shoyu, rice, vinegar, etc. and i've always been happy to make my own contribution. Not so here. Curiously, there is a spice rack with moldy spices no one ever uses.
The good side - main bed was great, TV worked well (tho it didnt have HBO as the guest guide stated), The lanai was large and great to enjoy watching golfers, The 'guest bedroom' was adequate with its pullout and privacy barriers. The AC was very nice and worked well. Furniture all in decent condition and comfy. We appreciated that soap for the laundry and dishwasher was stocked.
Somewhat disappointed that the only personal soap was a tiny tube of body wash. No bar soap or shampoo - for these sky-high prices that seems like a cheap shot.
The on-site staff were polite and on the ball.
Wont stay here again.
I appreciated all the bakeware in the kitchen as I made several Christmas Cookies! Very comfortable condo!
Mahalo!

Well equipped clean condo in quiet superior location. Just be cautious of bad golfers and put sun shades down when golf course is busy.
Our arrival was greeted by a very stinky garbage disposal. Problem was solved with purchase of two lemons. I feel that each reservation should be treated individually, we were there for two weeks with 3 rolls of toilet paper, one small bar of soap, three dishwasher pods and three trash bags. Even though you recommended that the trash be taken out at least once a a day. This did not make our stay any less enjoyable. Just some recommendations.
Quiet and a pleasant stay.
The location is nice close to the pool. Only one bedroom but plenty enough for two people. Can’t wait to return next year.
AA oceanfront very helpful. All requests answered promptly and to our complete satisfaction.
Property was exactly as expected and had no issues. Kitchen was stocked with everything you need, just like home. Also true of linens and towels for bed and bathrooms. Enjoyed watching the sunset every evening from the lanai.

We have been visiting Hawaii for over 20 years. This condo is quite, all you can hear are the birds. Lanai is huge, plenty of space and the view from lanai is awesome. You can see the ocean and a sunset. Condo had everything for a daily use, all the utilities. During the day the condo stayed colder, with the fans on. We enjoyed our stay very much. One of the best condos we have ever stayed. Everything is there for a beach use even snorkel gear. We had to buy the umbrellas for the beach which we left there. We recommend this condo, and will definitely stay here again. If you like quiet place, then this is the best place to be.
Mahalo for your kokua
As advertised. A great stay.
Keahou is a great place to stay. Keahou Palena is a gorgeous property. The groundskeepers are awesome people. The place could use an A C unit in the living room. Other then that everything was excellent.
This is a very comfortable unit - would stay again and again.
Keauhou Palena is great location for a long stay. Lots of varied walking, close to the bay, with snorkeling, kayak, paddle board adventures. Walking distance to grocery store and an excellent coffee/crepe place.
Sunset on golf course facing Lanai beautiful or take a quick to the bay.
Beds are very comfortable, including the sleeper. Kitchen has everything needed. Coffee grinder was broken and Mgmt company dropped a new one at the door. The grounds and unit are clean and well-kept. This unit has A/C in bedroom which was needed first couple nights until getting used to warmer temps than where I’m from.
Very friendly neighbors and staff.
For work - Wifi is great.
TV is smart so can watch your own channels but there is cable as well.
Kitchen has plenty of soap, trash bags, cleaning supplies. Bathrooms - plenty of TP. Very neat and clean. There are Some other supplies in the place left from other travelers.
