The condo was excellent for our family of 4. The pool was a great addition, a short walk away. Excellent place to meet our extended family members staying in other suites of the condo. The 3 bbq grills were available for cooking meals together while the kids swam. The condo had many options for snorkels, umbrellas, beach towels and boogie boards available. The hosts were accommodating and easy to communicate with. I would recommend this place for family and friends

Perfect spring break getaway with the teen kids. The best beach just a five minute walk away and we took advantage of the many beach necessities. Kids were able to do a digital detox and had plenty of games for the whole family. No complaints!

Wonderful lanai and easy drive to Kailua- Kona

This is a very comfortable unit with plenty of room for 4 people. The unit is a little worn in places and the linens are a little skimpy. The beds are a little firm if that is an issue for you. The owner is very pleasant and responsive.

Terrific condo, great location!

What a great place to stay while vacationing along the Kona coast! Perfect for a family or one or two couples. My wife, adult daughter, and I enjoyed every minute of our four-day visit and only wish we could have stayed longer. The unit is spacious, in great condition, and equipped with endless amenities. The owners’ detailed description of the condo is entirely accurate, and they responded quickly and helpfully to all our questions. We heartily agree with all the 10/10 reviews below, especially the detailed 10/29/24 remarks by Brenda S.

Very peaceful & great location!

This condo is fantastic - the beds are large and comfortable, having AC is nice, the lanai is large and relaxing with a peaceful view over adjacent residential area and out to the ocean. My husband appreciated the great TV too. It is right across from the beach, so easy to walk to the water. Convenient shaded parking. And we appreciated being able to use the boogie boards, snorkels, beach chairs and umbrellas. Very attentive and helpful hosts!
