Best location
This property really is in the best location. You can walk to shops, restaurants, the Kona Pier. The property is so clean. There’s plenty of bedding and towels. There’s a washer and dryer which is super convenient. The listing pictures show a twin bed and trundle in one of the bedrooms. We were surprised to find a queen bed is now in this bedroom. We made it work anyway but would have planned differently had we known this ahead of time. You can see the ocean from the balcony. We loved watching the cruise ships dock. The communication with the property managers is easy. They answered any questions we had. We will stay here again for sure. Thank you for providing a great space for us to adventure from.

In Kona for the Queen Lili'uokalani Outrigger Canoe Race.
There were some delays affecting our check in process due to the previous renters, as well as a few issues with the condo, however the property manager, Anne, responded in a timely manner. The air conditioning was not working due to a problem within the condo complex, but Anne provided us with 3 large box fans to try to help with the heat, but even with those the condo was usually ~82-85°. Never the less, we still enjoyed our stay and would stay in #409 again. The location was very convenient for our group, reducing the use of our rental car to just a few trips during our stay.

Good stay
A wonderful property. Everything was clean, modern comfortable beds, very scenic, good location with access to everything downtown, etc.etc. The only negative was that on the 3rd day the air conditioning failed and despite calling the site manager and co-ordinator, they did not get it repaired and on our last day, as we were about to check out, was our 1st contact with anyone about repairing the problem. I would have given a 5 star review if not for the A.C. issue. Len B.

The condo was clean and well supplied with beach towels, Chairs, and an umbrella. Take them to the little public beach down which is 5min walk down the scenic Kona waterfront. The perfect place to stay! Having a covered garage parking spot was great, too. Everyone from Tim, the site manager, and the local host were all wonderful. The family was very sad to learn the week before our visit that the pool was unavailable for use. Arrived at the condo and the dryer was broken. Tim worked with us to offer accommodations for the pool but sad nonetheless as the availability of a pool everyday was an amenity we planned to use. The dryer was eventually replaced during our visit but again another amenity we had planned to use that we couldn’t. It’s all bad timing for our visit. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Don’t hesitate to book with Tim as this place was great!

Location was amazing and close to beach shopping and amenities. Great restaurants. Everything promised, and amenities was there with the exception of an issue with the pool being closed. Didn’t really miss that part of the rental because we went to the beach almost every day. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay.

This flat has the best location in Kailua-Kona … walking distance to beaches and great restaurants (so many good restaurants). The flat was as pictured, had lots of towels and kitchen utensils and we were pleasantly surprised to find a welcome basket with fruit, cookies, coffee and chocolates. The lanai was very spacious. Plenty of hot water and the a/c worked great. Can’t ask for more.

Great location
This was a great location for being able to drive to beaches and then walk to shops and restaurants after wonderful days in the sun. We have stayed in different condo at this site previously and this was why we picked it. Had most everything you would need available from cooking to beach gear. Pictures made living room seem a bit bigger, and with 6 of us there was not really much space or furniture to sit on, but we made do. Ally way got pretty loud at night, feel like the restaurant was having a war with the condo to roll out garbage to dumpsters about every 30 minutes, watched them unload 1 bag for a load, kinda humerus and entertaining except for when it wasn’t. Felt safe enough to let our teens hangout alone while adults went to dinner. wouldn’t recommend letting kids go out alone after dark, the homeless population has greatly increased in Kona in the last year, lots of drugs present (not properties fault, just letting parents know) all in all it was a great vacation and thankful for the great memories we made at this location.

We truly appreciated the convenient location and well stocked unit. We had a 1 year old with us who used the pack & play and high chair. The adults slept well in the beds and the unit was well stocked with beach toys and towels in addition to normal household needs. The property manager was very responsive when we had a check-in issue with the freezer door. Thank you for a great stay!

Unit was very nice, clean and seemed very well maintained! We had no issues at all.

A pleasant condo in a central location.
As others have noted, this is not a luxurious property. But it comes with everything a family needs as a home base for exploring the Big Island and has lots of shopping and restaurants within walking distance (and one small beach). I found it a great value for that purpose. The local property manager, Anne, was helpful and responsive, enabling us to check in a little early and make time for an island activity on our check-in day. She also had some great beach recommendations.

The best!
My third stay in a Kona vacation rental and BY FAR the best. Here’s why: 1. Clean. Not just superficially clean but clean behind closed cupboard doors. I’m soooo tired of staying at vacation rentals and having to clean grime out of coffee machines and dirty dishes in cupboards. Grosses me out. This place was deeply clean! 2. Location at harbor within walking distance of beach, activities, MANY restaurants makes this a real gem. Granted it’s not ON the ocean like other condos I previously rented (but they were further from beach ACCESS and restaurants). We don’t sit in a condo and look at the ocean waves - we go to the ocean and get in. This place is perfect for multi-generational parties where not everyone wants to do the same things, esp if you have one car. While some do the manta ray snorkle, others in party can walk to restaurants. 3. Amenities: The condo is very carefully and generously stocked with towels, beach towels, beach chairs, a cooler, beach umbrella, games, travel books (we left 1 more), SHARP kitchen knives needed for cutting pineapple, kitchen pots and pans (stainless and coated), toaster oven, blender, coffee maker with stainless steel carafe, etc. There were spices, cooking oils, paper products in cupboards. Not sure if left by earlier guests or maintained by host but these were hugely appreciated. Bedding is comfortable AND they offer 2 pillow types - foam and hotel-like feather style. (I’m so tired of finding only cheap foam pillows at vacation rentals; I now always bring my own. This is the 1st time I could have left my feather pillow home). There are extra blankets too. We were a party of 4 so didn’t use all the bedding and towels but it appears as if there is enough for large parties. Parking: Locked garage with easy access means your car, and stuff inside, is safe. The owner (off-island) and property manager (local) were both good communicators and responsive. I recommend using a sound machine. 5:30 a.m. trash pick up woke us up. We felt soooo very comfortable here. We would definitely stay again. I wish more vacation property owners were this caring and conscientious. I’m so tired of Dollar Store utensils, dull knives, inadequate kitchen supplies. Wish VRBO did better quality control. They could use this condo as a model. We stay in vacation rentals A LOT, sometimes a month at a time, and I can honestly say this is the best I’ve encountered perhaps ever in terms of how well stocked things were.
