Wonderful Stay!

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The incredible view and the sound of the waves crashing will be in our memories for a long time. The condo had everything we needed for a great stay as well as beach towels, beach chairs, snorkel equipment, bogey board. The street in front could be noisy but it didn't bother us.

View that is sad to leave!

This view is priceless. The pictures do not do the apartment justice. The vaulted ceiling make it feel 10x times bigger as well as very up to date with style. Cutest place and could not beat the view for anything. Parking spot is really close to stairway directly to room. Pool was great and having an ocean view from it was amazing. Hosts were so quick to respond and help with absolutely anything. Wish we had more nights at this place will be returning!

Amazing Ocean View

Simply put, this place was amazing. My wife and I enjoyed the ocean view and the space had everything needed for a great experience. We spent lots of our time exploring the island but it was so nice to come back and see the gorgeous sunset while watching the tides come and go. No complaints. The host left a very detailed introduction to the property and island that had everything you need to find things to do. Very happy all around!

Perfect for a quiet stay!

My husband and I honeymooned here in early May 2024. The pictures on the listing are EXACTLY what to expect we were so excited to see the view in person. The building itself is a little dated, but as soon as we got to our room we completely forgot about it. When we first arrived we were nervous about the noise level we would hear from being so close to the street, however the waves themselves were so loud we couldn’t hear anything over them. Kitchen was perfect for our breakfasts and lunches, and having a washer dryer in unit was a blessing. We are so excited to come back someday!

Paradise 🌸🌞🌴

We stayed here our last 2 days of a 12 day trip. It was absolutely amazing! I wish we could’ve stayed longer. The condo was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. As was the couch which is where I slept so I could hear the waves crashing as I fell asleep. We found a little beach area just down the stairs with a picnic table so you could sit and enjoy the waves in the sun. Very close to everything. I would definitely stay here again!!

Beautiful ocean view

Beautiful ocean view out the very private lanai. Very comfortable mattress. Parking is adequate and access is easy from the street. As other reviews stated the bedroom is facing the street and at times can be noisy. Otherwise a very nice stay.

The property location was fantastic! The view from the balcony is beautiful!

The property was very nice. It was right on the ocean with a view that was exactly like what they picture in the property description. - Fantastic! It did not have air conditioning which was not a problem as there is a great breeze that flowed through the unit. It is on the top floor (4th floor) which was very nice as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. It was easy to get to everything in the Kona area from there.

Beautiful Sunsets

We didn’t spend a lot of time at the condo during the day, but it’s in a great location for doing various day trips. It had everything we needed and the view from the lanai was fantastic. We took advantage of the small farmers market next door on Saturday and Sunday. It was also really nice to have beach chairs and a boogie board to use. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Sunset view in Kona

The view from the lanai was wonderful. The extra amenities were unexpected but helped make beach day a bit better. The bedroom is on the street side and we had to sleep with the bedroom windows closed. But overall a perfect last few days on kona.

Totally Satisfied

Beautiful spacious place, comfortable breezes, fully equipped kitchen, amazing view from the kitchen, dining room, living space and especially the balcony. Very comfy bed and pillows. When the toaster didn't work, Edgar had a new one at our door in about an hour. Wow! There was even snorkeling gear for us to use, and binoculars to get a closer view of the whales. Free bus service available every hour. We were able to store our luggage in security at the front desk until our late flight. The pool and hot tub were also clean and well maintained. A great place to stay. We would definitely recommend, and would love to come again. Thank you.

Five Star Experience

We saw so many whales from the lanai that we lost count. The condo worked perfectly for two people. The bedroom is right next to a busy street so it was noisy. Put on the fan to drown out the traffic for sleep. There are extra binoculars, beach chairs, towels and scuba gear. There is no air conditioning but the ocean breezes kept us comfortable. We intend to stay here again. Aloha!

Big Island

This was a great property. Awesome view. So close to the water you can toss a rock in it. In the early morning sun it was like looking into an aquarium, we could see so many fish. Watched whales each day from the lanai. Had everything needed in the condo: towels, beach chairs, coolers, even snorkel gear. 💕

Better than our hotel stay

This property is beautiful! We are very impressed by the views from the lanai and the size of the place. It is very roomy and accomodating for 2 and we could see whale tails and spouting from the living room and lanai and see fish in the surf. Lots of ammenities here: 4 beach towels, snorkel gear, laundry detergent, sunblock/spray, binoculars, boogie boards, beach chairs, cooler, safe, plenty of shampoo and body wash, coffee and tea supplies. Host provided lots of info before check in and printed in room on local hikes and happy hours, public transportation info, how to use the remotes, and where light switches are located. Very helpful, would stay here again and recommend. The only downside is the room is a bit of a walk from the stairs and even further from the elevator regardless of where you park so if you have someone who can't walk well, you may want a room closer to the elevator.

Great place to see Whales from the lanai

The week we stayed was great. The view is spectacular and we saw whales on 2 different days from the lanai. The lava beach behind the property was enjoyable. There was a bunch of surfers catching waves just behind us. We highly recommend the Shaka Tacoz food truck at Ali'i Gardens Marketplace, it was a great value with great food. It is close to Kahalu’u Beach for snorkeling. Having a cooler, beach towels and beach chairs available was handy. We left a large boogie board for the next renters.There is a reasonable priced fruit stand right next door on the weekends.

View doesn't get any better than this. On the ocean

Loved the view out the glass wall of this 4th floor apartment - it is as "on the ocean" as I think you can get; certainly the closest we've ever been. The place wasn't super fancy or new, but that was fine by us - the property had everything we needed while we were there, and we had a great time. Edgar (the owner) was great with check-in communication, and we never needed him at all while we were on the island. We did run into one day where there were 30+ flies in the apartment (at least, that's how many we swatted), but the remaining days we were basically unbothered. Street noise in the bedroom at night is loud, but we'd read other reviews about that and had no problem at all with earplugs in. Had a great time on the island in this central location. If you're interested in a photo-story of our time, including pics of the views from the apartment and things you can do with this as your home base, feel free to check out adventuretaco.com/trip/the-vacation-adventure-dec-2023/

About the host

Hosted by Edgar Mendez-Chacon

In March 2014 we vacationed on the Big Island for the first time and fell in love with the island. We purchased a townhouse that year (www.vrbo.com/578036) and love coming back regularly to Kona. In May 2017 we purchased this condo and love the view from the lanai along with the vibe inside the condo. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The view from the lanai is spectacular and you can just sit and lounge there all day watching the turtles, fish, whales and the waves rolling in. It has a great island feel with the decor inside the condo along with nice artistic touches of painted murals on the wall.
