Balcony view is mesmerizing

The unit was very clean and adequately equipped. It was exactly as described. Sitting on the balcony watching the surfers and the waves was mesmerizing. The only thing to be aware of is that 4 adults might feel like the 2nd bedroom is pretty small. But it worked fine for us and it was not a surprise. Highly recommend.

Unbelievable location

We had a great family vacation at this property. We spent countless hours relaxing in lanai and watching the waves, surfers in the water, turtles and fishes nearby, and spotting whales on the horizon. Don't miss the gorgeous sunset! Thank you for sharing your home!

Good location

The location of this place is good. Right on the coast with great views of sunsets and surfers. The boogie boards came in handy and the amenities were fine. Check in time is at 4pm which is pretty late and should be more than enough time to get the place cleaned up given 11am check out. We were contacted and told the cleaning crew was very busy and the place would be ready a little after 4pm. It wasn't ready until almost 5, which sucked given we were exhausted after a long day of travel. Upon check-in we were then told the dishwasher was broken. The gal cleaning said we'd be refunded some money due to the late check-in and broken dishwasher, but we got nothing back. We were there a week and the dishwasher was never fixed.

Beautiful and immaculate

This home is beautiful! Even better than the pictures. Clean, newly remodeled and in a great location right on the ocean. It was ready before the scheduled time and check in was easy. Stocked with everything you’d need and when we weren’t diving we enjoyed being able to sit on the balcony and watch the surfers. We’ll definitely look for the same place when we come back!

Better than getting a hotel room

We loved the accommodation. The size is perfect for our party. The patio was perfect to soak up all the view. However when it gets too hot the AC doesn’t cool the room near the front door. Also Vacasa forgot to put our parking permit so instead of relaxing right away we had to spend 2 hrs reaching out to Vacasa for parking permits and had to explain to the security each time see them checking. Over all place was wonderful definitely will book place again.

Good Location, pefect condo

The condo is in perfect location with ample parking. Located on the main Alii drive, it is close to the town. The beach at the condo is rocky, but it has a tide pool that is perfect for little kids. You will see lots of surfers from the balcony enjoy the surf. We saw turtles, fish, and lots of urchins. There is a warning sign at the beach that states that the urchins are poisonous. So tell your kids to not touch them. The washer in the unit is a front load washer. However, as you might know, these kinds of washers suffer from mold and mildew build up on the gasket. The washer in the condo has lots of mold and mildew buildup. So washing clothes may leave them smelling bad. Otherwise the condo is perfect.

Dated tired condo but nice location

First impressions of condo walking in the door : dark dated and tired. Not at all like the photo which suggest a light filled space : its not ! We needed lights on when home am or pm. May be typical of many condos of this era that desperately need a refresh ! The surfers are indeed a fabulous sight from the patio but that is the only light in the place : walls muddy green,thihck dark brown sliding doors dividing the main bedroom from the sit-in area made it feel more like a studio than a 2 bed condo. The furniture is old and tired, ,glasses ,dishes from the early 70 's and many light bulbs did not work,We never did get internet to work despiser reboot info etc, only a ride on an open network close by. Main bedroom has a good bed but no storage : its closet is full of extra bedding and no chest of drawers so clothes stayed in open suitcases on the floor cramping things even more. Twin beds were soft and noisy and for some reason the A/C did not reach back there so my sons had hot, poor sleeps.Kitchen equipped well with pots pans etc and nice to have a few little spices and things to help at meal time. Also important to know this end of the island is volcanic so beaches are rough and not very sandy. Not much safe swimming but excellent for body boarding and surfing. The pool is tiny, old and basically set into the car parking area very unappealing.Location is nice ,short 3 mins to downtown Kona and handy for south island. We had a great trip to the Big Island but would not stay here again unless it gets a total makeover !
