Great ocean front location
We enjoyed our stay at this condo. it was clean, and well stocked with kitchen items, the bed was comfortable, and we loved hearing the ocean waves at night. There is a new 65" TV in the Living Room. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony was watching the waves hitting the lava rocks and reading. There were lots of beach chairs and beach toys which was really nice. This is a second floor unit without an elevator, so that might be a problem for some. The owner is very responsive and helpful when we had questions. We will be back.

Even better than it looks!
We knew the view from the lanai was going to be wonderful, but we did not know that we could see & hear the Pacific from the other side of the condo right over our king-size bed. The grounds at this condo building are beautifull and very well maintained. .We enjoyed the pool, chaise lounges with umbrellas, the hot tub, and clean community grills during sunset visits with the neighbors. The condo is well stocked, has a large kitchen and bath, and fantastic beach supplies!

Wonderful Ocean and Wave Views
One of the nicest and best equipped vrbo units that we have stayed in. Had everything that we could need and more. The wonderful owner had prepared a detailed document with information on everything. Unit itself had a lanai with a gorgeous and peaceful view of the lava rocks and waves . Complex had oceanfront gas grills, oceanfront tables and chairs and the grounds were extremely well maintained. Hawaii Island itself does not have alot of sandy beaches and although you can swim in the ocean at the condo, it requires climbing over lava rocks with waves crashing on you to get to the ocean. However, many really nice beaches with sand nearby. We hope to return to visit and will book this unit again in a heartbeat.
