The views are amazing, the people are friendly and the location is laid back and quiet. The owner of the condo was amazing and allowed our last day on the island to be exactly what we needed (thank you Joshua)! The added amenities allowed us to have chairs, coolers, bags and many other things to use while heading to the beach. The condo is spacious and was exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely book this condo again for any future travel to the Big Island! ##### Stacie J.

The really big TV made my husband happy. There's one soft bed and one firmer bed.The downside isthe beach out front gets very crowded and has fairly big waves. Not great for swimming. But the unit is only about 20 minutes south of Kua Beach which was fantastic and only about five minutes north of another beach that has good snorkeling. Overall we had a very nice stay. ##### Nancy B.

The property was as advertised, clean, everything worked well, host was helpful and communicative. Pool and hot tub were both good, and never too crowded. One tiny issue - Google maps directions weren't quite right. The complex has two driveways, and the parking is not connected. Google directs you to the southern driveway, but you need to turn into the northern driveway, which Google maps doesn't seem to know about. When coming from North, it will say "Take the next turn" - which works (because you hit the northern driveway before the southern) but we came from south, turned too soon, and got confused our first time. ##### Joshua G. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sara G. 23 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Homey Big Island Getaway We had a great stay at Josh’s condo. We enjoyed the “homey” feeling, the location was great and view was beautiful. The restaurant across the street was tasty, especially for breakfast and coffee at the Shack and there are many beaches within a few minute drive. Additionally, downtown Kona was only about 10-12 mins. Be aware that the beach across the street is not there in late February/early March - we didn’t realize the beach was gone for months out of the year, but thought it was ”magic” where the tide would make the beach appear/disappear based on time of day not year. We spoke to residents of the village who noted it is usually gone January - mid/late March. Some other pros included: fast communication with Josh, comfortable master bed, nice amenities at the building including pool, hot tub, parking spot, sauna and grills. A couple cons were both bathrooms needing updating, the hot water not lasting very long (ie, barely through 2 adults showering), dirty dishes in the cabinets, many of the pans needing to be replaced (non-stick coating is flaking and basically gone in center of a few), and our infant son not being able to go in the pool because of a “no swim diaper” rule, which we were aware of prior to the trip. ##### Sara G.

Josh was responsive. The home needing a good cleaning though. Key areas were a bit worn. Fun trip though. ##### Kim Y.

The condo is on the 3rd floor(yes there is an elevator) of the south wing of the complex, facing northwest with a view of Magic Sands Beach from the lanai. We were pleasantly surprised that we did not get the intense morning sun and the unit stayed cool and comfortable all day long without having to use the A/C. The unit is just far enough back from the road to keep the beach, traffic and pool noise to a comfortable level. Overall, the complex is well maintained--the pool, covered bbq area and landscaping were lovely and clean. The owners association seems to be working hard to update the structure(built in the 1970s so obviously has had wear and tear over the years) and the office staff was very helpful with information. We felt the location was perfect--Walking across the street to watch the sunset from the beach and there is also a restaurant across the street. The Kona Trolley stops right near the condo if you don't want to use your car and if you are a walker, it is 1 mile to a great snorkeling beach, 4 miles into the downtown or 2.5 miles to a nice little shopping center to the south(groceries, drug store, restaurants, book store, etc) Josh was one of the best parts of the experience. He responded immediately to any questions and was open to ideas and extremely personable with lots of good suggestions about places to visit and activities on the island. He has only owned the unit for a couple years so is making improvements (replacing furniture, appliances and decor) as he goes along. Not sure when we will be able to return, but would definitely try to rebook. ##### Sue K. Stayed 20 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Randy 16 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This condo is exceptionally well equipped. It has absolutely everything you could need for a more than comfortable stay! Just pack your clothes, and grab some groceries when you arrive. Super spacious, and although there were only two of us on our trip, two couples or a family would not feel crowded in this place. The views of the ocean are fantastic from the huge lanai. And right across the street from Magic Sands Beach. The directions into the condo & signage were not super clear, so be sure to take the 2nd entrance (South) and go to the last building on the left (Keauhou). Parking stalls are numbered accordingly. Something to be aware of, this condo is on the 3rd floor and there are no elevators. Although this was a non-issue for us, it could be for those with mobility issues. The only negative thing I could say about this unit were that the AC was really noisy. Thankfully we ended up just using the ceiling fans, which made it perfectly comfortable without having to turn the AC on. The condo owner was great at communicating & self check-in made it a breeze for our late night arrival. We would absolutely stay here again. ##### Randy Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heinrich M. 29 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Experience Great location, condo, complex, and owner! ##### Heinrich M.

It was well-appointed with everything we needed, the beds were very comfortable, and as other reviewers have said, the views from the lanai of the ocean and the island were breathtaking and even better than expected. The pool/grill/pool table areas were very clean and we enjoyed using all of them frequently. There was a large sectional in the living room, which was different than what was pictured when we booked our stay, and it was perfect for one of our boys to use as a bed. The surf at Magic Sands Beach was very high during our stay, making it unsafe for our kids to go in the water at this beach, but the sunsets from the beach (and the lanai) were magical. We would definitely stay in this condo again! ##### Whitney L. Stayed 11 nights in Jul 2022 ---
