Great location and the pictures don't do the property justice!

My wife and I visited the Big Island as part of our 30th wedding anniversary and we thoroughly enjoyed our home for our stay on the Big Island. This location offered everything we needed and was conveniently located to both grocery stores and restaurants. If we ever make it back to the area, we will definitely be looking to stay here again!

Great location, with a beautiful view. My husband and I stayed here for 11 nights and we really enjoyed our stay. The lanai was perfect, we sat out there every night we could to watch the sunset. One of the a/c’s stopped working while we were there, I contacted the host and the a/c was replaced by the next morning. We were impressed by the quick response and how they handled the situation. The location is just far enough away from downtown Kona that you don’t get the road noise and heavy traffic, but still convenient to shops and other activities. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed everything about this place, location, sunset view from the Lanai, amenities, size of the rooms, bathrooms, etc. Rental office staff was very courteous and responsive! Thank you so much!

The penthouse is the entire top floor, with an elevator, and outdoor shower for rinsing snorkel-scuba gear. Early morning views and sunset views of Kahaluu Beach from the very large lanai were the best. Penthouse has everything. Definitely will stay here again.

Seaside retreat

My wife and I enjoyed this unit so much. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed to cook. The location can’t be beat as you have a gorgeous view of the ocean and can watch the surfers all day. The deck facing the ocean is large and it’s a 2 minute walk across the way to sit at the beach or snorkel. We recommend this unit as an excellent location. The unit was comfortable and had everything we needed.

Location of rental is in an ideal spot. It's away from the main hub (Kailua-Kona) but still easily accessible for an evening out to explore/experience the many fine dining options around. And you can't forget that it's right across from Kahalu'u Beach, a popular spot for learning to surf and snorkel (observed it was popular with the families). Favorite part of the penthouse was the lanai; we enjoyed having such a spacious area for card playing, dinner and watching the sunset after a full day of exploration of the Big Island. -Mahalo

10x better than a hotel.

This place was a great find! You can just walk across the street to snorkel or surf. A supermarket and some restaurants are 2-3 minute drive. No loud music or drunken people hollering at night to worry about. You can sit at the spacious lanai and enjoy the amazing sunset. Inside is very spacious. The bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean. Plenty of ceiling fans and air conditioners to keep you comfortable. The complimentary supplies were more than enough for my party of 2 that stayed for 5 days. The handy elevator was a plus. If I ever return to Big Island, I will be looking to rent this place again. Highly recommended.

Beautiful View & Quick access to beach/snorkel and surfing school

Spacious and well equipped this location was great. There are a few things that needed some repairs and they promptly replaced a broken washing machine. We were contacted the day after we arrive to make sure everything was OK and it wasn’t until day three that we realize some of the things that were needing a little TLC, such as one nonworking ceiling fan out of 8 others that were working. Internet, beach towels, and TVs were available along with a few puzzles. BBQ worked well. There’s even a small elevator to help you get to the penthouse!

Stunning lanai

We stayed at this property for three weeks. it is directly across from a very busy surfing beach. Lots of traffic noise. the property is very very clean. bathrooms have low toilets; there are no grab bars which is an issue for tall people with OA. We enjoyed the lanai every day. There is a BBQ for this unit. Whales and dolphins are close. Bring binoculars, there are cochi frogs nearby and they are very very loud at night. the property is as described in the posting.

Gorgeous lanai and view!

Highly recommend not only the resort but Kona Coast rentals who are VERY organized and communicate well. Love the app and all the emails in advance as well as the house guide. We had an issue while we were there during our stay and they were fantastic.The property looks just like the pictures. We loved the kitchen/living/lanai. Fantastic view to watch surfers and peaceful waves. Watched sunset from the beach across the street but it was still gorgeous from our patio. Bathrooms and bedroom carpet are a little dated but we were happy regardless. Lots of windows and great parking. Elevator! If you snorkel you’ll live the location even more. Easy 4-mile drive to town. Or there’s a bus at the end of the driveway. We didn’t want to be right in town. Would definitely stay here again
