Great Complex, unit needs updating
Bottom line: I would use Kona Vacations again. I would definitely stay in the complex again. I would want a better maintained & furnished unit. Great: overall complex, property manager Kelli, comfortable bed, lower level location, concierge David is excellent, laundry room is steps away. Owners & renters blend well- lots of friendly people. Grills are top notch. Parking is adequate. Not so great: unit is tired & needs repairs/updating. Several nicks in tile floor. Cupboard doors hang crooked, only 2 of 4 chairs on lanai have cushions. Towels are old, raggedy, scratchy& chemical smell. Beach towels are tiny dollar store type. Poorly furnished in the kitchen. Mismatched garage sale type stuff.

We killed cockroaches every day of our stay. We finally left a day early as we killed 7 in our bathroom and bedroom. Properly management didn’t seem too concerned. “We are in the tropics”..Very disappointed. We’ve seen roaches before in the tropics, but never this many is a rented condo. Crawling on the bathroom counter, floor and bedroom area.

Perect rental for our family
We were delighted with our stay at this rental. Location was prime. The size of the condo was exactly what we needed. Having both a chlorine pool and a salt water pool right on the ocean was epic. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

This unit was comfortable, clean and a convenient location from town, which made it great for IM World Championship weekend! My favorite part was the amenities - the oceanside pool was absolutely lovely, and watching the sunset from the property each night was spectacular. Thank you so much for the incredible stay!

Great property with beautiful pools
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will be back! It was easy to find & we appreciated that the property was gated & that the door had a key pad! No keys to worry about losing and easy entry into the pools! The kitchen was equipped with the basics. Beach towels, umbrella, sand toys provided. Cable TV & other streaming services provided. Great location minutes outside of downtown Kona! We loved being ground floor & able to walk around on a whim. Sunsets are GORGEOUS out on the sandy overlook! Outside the patio there is a waterfall and it creates a great ambiance when sitting on the comfy patio set. Enjoyed the community library! The grounds are well kept and beautiful! The 2 pools are fabulous but the one next to the ocean is enough reason to stay here! Small things that could be improved: -Cleaning. Floors were a bit dirty upon arrival. Toilet paper roll had been wet at some point but still installed on the roller which just gave us a yucky first impression. -Maintenance. Many things are worn & we absolutely wouldn't expect perfection in a high volume rental but one days work with some paint, scrubbing, and minor handy work could do wonders. -Sharp knives. -Cooking essentials get stripped after each guest. Meaning there is absolutely no salt, pepper, cooking oil, etc (but they warn you ahead about this). In our 3+ weeks, we grew to love it here. It ended up perfect for our stay & our first choice when returning! Very charming!

This is the second time we've stayed in this facility (different condos). The lanais are excellent and relaxing. The ocean is just a short walk down a path as are fresh and ocean pools for swimming. The condos are specious and functional.

The property is in a really great location, easy to get to restaurants or outdoor activities. We also spent time at the awesome salt water pool and relaxing shaded beach area, watching the ocean. The unit was very clean and contained everything we needed to prepare food in the kitchen. The king-sized bed was very comfortable. Although not fancy, the unit was very comfortable. We had a very nice stay.
