10x better than a hotel.
This place was a great find! You can just walk across the street to snorkel or surf. A supermarket and some restaurants are 2-3 minute drive. No loud music or drunken people hollering at night to worry about. You can sit at the spacious lanai and enjoy the amazing sunset. Inside is very spacious. The bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean. Plenty of ceiling fans and air conditioners to keep you comfortable. The complimentary supplies were more than enough for my party of 2 that stayed for 5 days. The handy elevator was a plus. If I ever return to Big Island, I will be looking to rent this place again. Highly recommended.

Super view and very comfortable
This property had everything you could need in a Hawaiian vacation home. Beds were super comfortable, the deck (lanai) was spectacular. The breeze and fans in every room made it so comfortable, we never needed to use the air conditioning.

Seaside retreat
My wife and I enjoyed this unit so much. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed to cook. The location can’t be beat as you have a gorgeous view of the ocean and can watch the surfers all day. The deck facing the ocean is large and it’s a 2 minute walk across the way to sit at the beach or snorkel. We recommend this unit as an excellent location. The unit was comfortable and had everything we needed.

Great location and the pictures don't do the property justice!
My wife and I visited the Big Island as part of our 30th wedding anniversary and we thoroughly enjoyed our home for our stay on the Big Island. This location offered everything we needed and was conveniently located to both grocery stores and restaurants. If we ever make it back to the area, we will definitely be looking to stay here again!

Fantastic Penthouse - Fantastic location
The penthouse is the entire top floor, with an elevator, and outdoor shower for rinsing snorkel-scuba gear. Early morning views and sunset views of Kahaluu Beach from the very large lanai were the best. Penthouse has everything. Definitely will stay here again.

A renovated old style Hawaiian gem (with a few quirks)
We live in an old home that has had many renos done by us over decades and by previous owners. This place seems similar amazing overall but with some quirks and a small wish list of things that could easily be improved. The great: Fantastic location, and having entire top floor of the three suites in the building is expansive inside and out. With covered & (mostly) shady lanai & decks all the way round the inside space and being high up enough to have a great view of Kahalu'u Park is a dream- and having a secure and private tiny somewhat industrial elevator from the ground carport right onto the lanai is lovely (and a reminder to slow down - it is a slow ride). The lounging & dining furniture on the nearly 30 x 50 lanai is in good repair and comfy enough and where we spent all of our condo time- and being one house away from Alii drive and the surf break beyond- the road noise wasn't terrible and the surf was the perfect decibel level for relaxation and sleeping at night- and of course killer sunsets (though you'll want a newer phone with 'magic erase' function to eliminate the ubiquitous power poles and lines for that perfect sunset shot). Tons of cabinets, well equipped kitchen, and no need for AC- fans and breezes fine. But no cabinet/drawer pulls(??), and kitchen lighting is beyond poor(??) - cheap easy fixes! Lastly, roll up sunshades on lanai would make it perfect for late afternoon heat and glare- again easy and cheap fix. Kona Coast was great- place spotless!

Mostly Positive
The property is very clean and the photos are accurate. It is a beautiful space, private and well-appointed. The lanai is the outstanding feature with basically a wrap-around porch around the entire top floor with sweeping views. Beds were comfortable with good quality linens. It is a bit tricky to find at first--the directions to the place were outdated. The house in front has been painted a different color. The location is challenging to get out of because vehicles obscure the view of traffic coming from the left. One of us would have to get out of the vehicle to check to see if it was clear. As noted in other reviews, the window air conditioners really struggled to keep up with the summer heat. There are louvered windows by the ceiling and ceiling fans that can help, but it's a bit of a learning curve on how to use the remotes for them that are stationed throughout the property. Snorkeling across the street is excellent and the volunteers stationed there are helpful and informative.

Beautiful View & Quick access to beach/snorkel and surfing school
Spacious and well equipped this location was great. There are a few things that needed some repairs and they promptly replaced a broken washing machine. We were contacted the day after we arrive to make sure everything was OK and it wasn’t until day three that we realize some of the things that were needing a little TLC, such as one nonworking ceiling fan out of 8 others that were working. Internet, beach towels, and TVs were available along with a few puzzles. BBQ worked well. There’s even a small elevator to help you get to the penthouse!

Not our first choice.
We rented this unit when our original VRBO owner canceled on us the night before we arrived. We had very few choices for an alternate rental, being so last minute. Overall this unit was nice but dated. It was very clean and had most everything we needed. The unit has old, loud window mounted A/C boxes in the bedrooms and living room but they are very loud and had a hard time keeping the temperature down. We would have preferred to leave all of the windows open in the evening when it cooled off but when we did we were inundated with bugs, even though there are screens on the windows. It was helpful to have a washer & dryer. The company that manages this property, Kona Coast Vacations, were very helpful.

Wonderful Place to Stay
This place is wonderful. We spent hours on the lanai watching the surfers and enjoying the sunsets. The place encompasses the entire top floor which wasn't clear to us at first in the description. There were two if us, but the place could easily accommodate two couples or a family. Our only very minor negative would be the neighbor that ran a blower everyday at 7AM sharp. Some reviews mention street noise, but with the wonderful sound of waves, we never noticed street noise. Directions to place were okay and included photos of turn off Alii. It was a little confusing regarding where to park, at first, but when you get close you'll see the parking places are marked well on the ground floor. Directions say to pass a sky blue house coming up the hill, but parking is before the blue house. All in all, this place is amazing!

Amazing Location!
This house is literally across the street from an amazing snorkeling beach that also has plenty of space to just lay-out, or hang out in the shade at a picnic table under a pavilion. The house itself is VERY well stocked, was clean, and beautiful. The bedroom walls don't go all the way up so you can see the light from other rooms in your room, and hear everything. This wasn't a big issue for us, but if your group has different wake/sleep times, or you have someone loud with you, this will likely be an issue for you. The beds in the two bedrooms are VERY firm. The daybed in the living room was softer. I have joint issues and had to sleep on the daybed, the other two were way too firm for me. Other than the bed issue, I LOVED this house and location. It was absolutely perfect. The pictures are accurate of the house. The lanai IS that big and the views are amazing.

Location of rental is in an ideal spot. It's away from the main hub (Kailua-Kona) but still easily accessible for an evening out to explore/experience the many fine dining options around. And you can't forget that it's right across from Kahalu'u Beach, a popular spot for learning to surf and snorkel (observed it was popular with the families). Favorite part of the penthouse was the lanai; we enjoyed having such a spacious area for card playing, dinner and watching the sunset after a full day of exploration of the Big Island. -Mahalo

Stunning lanai
We stayed at this property for three weeks. it is directly across from a very busy surfing beach. Lots of traffic noise. the property is very very clean. bathrooms have low toilets; there are no grab bars which is an issue for tall people with OA. We enjoyed the lanai every day. There is a BBQ for this unit. Whales and dolphins are close. Bring binoculars, there are cochi frogs nearby and they are very very loud at night. the property is as described in the posting.
