This place was everything advertised and then some. Every part of the stay was ideal. The welcome basket was a real treat and every amenity that we could think of was at our disposal. Understated is the beauty of the of the sea life found in the ocean just outside the door. It fealt like our own private aquarium. We would certainly stay here again. Brent was more than responsive to our questions (sorry for bugging you) as well.

What a find! The location of this condominium is superb. Within a short drive into Kona, coffee plantations, & southern beaches. The condominium grounds were well maintained with beautiful trees & shrubs. This is a gated small condominium unit that we assumed was built around the 60’s, which lends itself to a charm that you cannot find. And with a renovated unit, it’s the best of the old & new. At night, the place comes alive and residents congregate around the saltwater pool & gazebo & await a resident to blow the conch shell as the sunsets. Our kids awaited this every night. The permanent residents & guests were all extremely nice. The saltwater pool was larger than depicted in the photos and well maintained. We would stay here again simply for the beautiful views from the lanai and the many seating options. The condo is well maintained & clean. The kitchen is well stocked with smaller appliances & condiments. We found the large kitchen appliances to be a bit dated with the oven and stovetop tricky to operate. Completely not a big deal when compared to all of the strengths this listing has to offer. We would stay here again & have been recommending this listing to our friends interested in visiting The Big Island.

Our family loved our visit to the Big Island, staying at this amazing Casa Kona condo unit. Everything was as described, and it was even better than we could have imagined. The spacious deck overlooked the courtyard, and though it was not right on the ocean, was very close and you still had an amazing view of the water. It certainly provided a great place to enjoy your morning coffee as well as your sunset dinner. The saltwater pool near the ocean was perfect to cool off in, and there were plenty of places to sit in the courtyard and sand area under the palm trees at the front of the property. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils making preparing meals a breeze. The welcome basket filled with treats was a special surprise after a long day of travel. While we didn't take advantage of it, there were beach chairs, some snorkeling equipment, a boogie board and beach umbrella available to use. We definitely would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a two-bedroom unit.

We stayed for two weeks at Casa Kona. The owners were very quick in responding to our questions as well as friendly and hospitable. They have supplied this condo with everything you could possibly need and welcomed us with a goody basket when we checked in. The saltwater pool was very refreshing and there are beach chairs where we relaxed under
The palm trees. We would stay here again if we return to the big island!

The best equipped, best maintained condo, with good proximity to town. The kitchen lacks for nothing and it's immaculately clean. The TVs are high definition good quality with about a zillion channels. The need is comfortable as well, and there's closet and dessert space. All and all, a pleasure.

We loved the interior of this condo. It was very thoughtful, had everything we needed, and was tastefully decorated. The lanai is spacious and was so enjoyable to sit and watch the water. Amazing view! The host was so friendly and easy to get a hold of. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again!

#236 was a perfect condo for me and my cousins. I’ve been coming to the Casa since it was built in the late 60’s, they had never been. I was so pleased to see how well the Casa has been maintained. And, #236 has been updated perfectly! My only complaint was construction work was going on in one of the units above us. Too much noise going on to enjoy the quiet of Kona!

This was our first time on the Big Island but our 7th visit to Hawaii.
We have always had wonderful vacations but we all agree that Brent’s place really made this trip so special. Waking up to the ocean and coming home to a gorgeous sunset after a day of exploring the island was really beyond words.
Beyond the condo being lovely and having the best ever Hawaiian vibe, the location was perfect! It was a short drive to Kona and a mid spot for visiting other parts of the island.
Brent was also a wonderful host. As we were traveling there was talk about the approaching hurricane and when we contacted him he responded quickly to all of our concerns and questions! As it turns out, the Kona side is pretty protected! Another big plus for this location!

Accommodations were fabulous. Most beautiful setting. Beds were comfortable. Hosts (Brent & Jeff) were wonderful. Communication was great and they left a tasty goody basket and a personalized note upon our arrival. 5 stars and then some more. Will definitely stay here again.

Casa Kona is perfect! The view from the lanai is unbeatable! The condo had everything we needed to make our first trip to Hawaii a great one. It is so close to restaurants and beaches. Less than a 10 minute drive to so many cool places. We walked to a great little coffee shop each morning. Did I mention the lanai? The views are breathtaking. Along the seawall of the condo we saw eel, crabs, and a few fish. We will definitely visit again. Just a wonderful place to stay!
