About this property

Ahhhh....Paradise OCEAN VIEWS in Luxurious condo, Snorkeling,Surfing steps away

I am offering a free night with any weeks booking during the first 2 weeks of Oct.
We are the newest complex on Alii Drive in Kona. Our location can't be beat. NOTE: LOTS OF UPGRADES added. We just added all New stainless steel appliances, a new central air conditioning system, and beautiful wood flooring.
Our wonderful location is full of rich cultural and historical history and has a legendary past. Our ideal location is directly adjacent to Kahalu'u Beach Park. Many of our guests love it so much they come back year after year.
OCEAN VIEW, Best Snorkeling, Surfing...Best Location at Beach We are the closest condo complex to the BEACH (about 50 yards from the sand.) and this is the newest condo complexes in the last several years. We have been with VRBO from the time they first went online. I really enjoy what I do and have a tremendous passion for The Big Island. Our location is perfect for couples or families. There is so much to do. A surf shop is a block away. You can take paddle board or surf lessons, rent gear including boards and canoes. We now have bikes to rent right in front of the complex.

In our condo, I like to pay attention to detailing when decorating our unit.
Also note, this condo could accommodate up to 5- 6 people, as we do have 2 fold away beds or blow up beds available.
Now for my description......:) We own 2 side by side units in the building, so if this one is booked just message me and we may have the other one available. If you have any questions I am Gail Gartner Eddy on fb and you can ask me direct there if you would like. It is a great way to have many questions answered.
Ahhhhhh…… Paradise. ALOHA, You have found the perfect Hawaiian Vacation Spot. We are located right at the BEST snorkeling beach on the Big Island, even the lifeguards were talking about it when we were there in Oct. It can't be beat. If you love to snorkel, this is the condo you want. The snorkeling is absolutely incredible and since you are right there, you have the opportunity to go morning, noon and early evening. There are so many species of colorful fish and they are so friendly. When recently and I felt like I was in 'Fish Heaven,' they were that beautiful. Also, this is a Bay where many sea turtles hang out. They love swimming along with you. I will be happy to share some of our pics or You-tube video with you. As for the beach, it is perfect for little ones too. Our generally gentle beach is only steps from the condo. I have some pictures on this site and have more if you want to see them. During the Winter months the surf to the North part of the bay kicks up making it a great surfing spot. Just walk a block North to the local Surf Shop and rent snorkeling gear, take surf lessons or rent a paddle board. Went with our Grandsons (ages 8 and 10 this Summer and they loved the surf lessons given by Ben, who by the way is Great with kids) It was definitely the highlight of their Summer. Also note, the Bay area is pretty much protected and great to snorkel any time. AND, don’t forget to try the shaved at the beach from the food truck that comes daily.
From the condo OCEAN Views are yours! Our New Designer Decorated Condo can be your oasis away from home. Walk in the door to the sound of Hawaiian music from our google dot welcoming you. The view of the Ocean as you open the door is breath-taking, I am sure you will agree. :) We are the newest construction on Alii Drive in the last 20 years! The condo has all you will need for your home away from home. I love all the colors of Hawaii, so we incorporated that throughout the condo. Open the triple sliding French door and cross over the teak threshold onto the lanai, take in the beautiful ocean view, smell the air and listen to the native birds while watching the palms gently sway in the tropical breeze. At this point.....Ahhhh you will know you are in 'Paradise.' Mornings and evenings are a real treat. In the morning you will enjoy your views of the coastline and beach. You will see and hear an array of brightly colored songbirds singing their morning songs. Early Wed. morning you will see luxury cruise ships sailing into port. In the evenings, while enjoying your dinner, you will be treated to one of those unforgettable Kona sunsets where the colors of the sky and sea are beyond description and quite possibly your imagination. Watch closely.......... you might be fortunate enough to get a glimpse of the famous 'green flash'. Phil has seen it, but I never have.....! (Note: I did see it on our last trip, and it IS real!)
Our condo is large, luxurious, and has all the amenities you need. The condo features state of the art design from the granite counter tops to the glass door cherry wood cabinets completely stocked with colorful dishes. The bathrooms have glass block showers and art glass sinks, just to name a few. All of the rooms as well as the lanai have tropical ceiling fans and tray ceilings. There is a large flat screen TV in the living room with Disc player and a TV in each bedroom with disc player. We have free wi-fi internet and free long distance to the U.S. and Canada.
Kona is a very simple residential Island village with a beach town flair... Low-rise condos intermix with homes and parks, snorkel lagoons and little sandy coves.... a real homey feel compared to the resorts. You will fall in Love with The Big Island. Every time we go, I am on the lookout for more beaches and fun things to do. I have a long list with lots of links that I am happy to provide to you.
Dec 6, West Hawaii Today, named Kailua-Kona top U.S. destination for travel.

I would love to talk to you and I love helping our guests with their Hawaii plans. We own 2 condos now in Kona and they are on VRBO, so there are many possibilities. PLEASE READ MY REVIEWS, WHICH I TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN. I get many repeaters 3 -4 times since the complex was first built. I Love Hawaii and Love helping our guests with any of their Island needs.

Great condo!
I stayed here with my family of six and it was a great place to be! We’ve been to the Big Island many times and South of Kona is a convenient location. The condo was immaculate and beautiful. The property owner and manager were both so easy to communicate with and very responsive. View from the lanai was gorgeous. Kitchen was well-stocked. Bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

Best snorkeling is across street
Snorkeling is our top reason for this trip, and it was wonderful to stroll across the street to snorkel at one of the top places on the island. When it was closed (morning clean up of previous night's storm), we could walk back and re-check an hour later. Sooo convenient.We also enjoyed the grill, hot tub and pool.We did load up at Walmart (skip the produce) but more convenient, and in the opposite direction of traffic is the Houkeau shopping center 3 minutes away.No restaurants really nearby except a tavern at Houkeau so we enjoyed grilling and eating out on our balcony.Wonderful stay!

This place is magical. My 3 sons, husband and I had the best time here. It was exactly as the listing says. We loved watching the sunset and then star gazing from the lanai. Walking down to the beach for the most amazing snorkeling in the morning. It was clean and had everything we needed. Felt like our own private oasis. We would come back here in a heartbeat.

Nice place in ideal location
The condo was great, spacious enough for 2 couples to move around without being on top of each other. Location is literally right across the street from beach park with great snorkeling. There is a great view from the lanai! Nice amenities like beach chairs, umbrellas. People should know that once you are south of Kona, Alii drive is adjacent to the ocean so you will have a road between homes and the beach. We were aware and had no issue with this because the view was still epic and the price very reasonable for Big island lodging but someone in our party was surprised by this from the photos. Also right down the road from a shopping center with a grocery store and drug store, dining options, coffee shops and even a farmers market, which proved very useful and let us experience the area like locals, which is how we like to go. Hosts were actually staying in the condo next door, were very nice but entirely unobtrusive. Oh, nice pool too.

Fantastic place for starting snorkeling but also interesting for experienced snorkelers. A few turtles were in cove.

About the host

Hosted by Gail Eddy

Host profile image
Phil and I are now retired and live in Santa Clarita California. We have 3 grown adult kids that are married and 10 wonderful grandchildren. We have a passion for the tropical life and the ocean and try to get to Hawaii as often as we can. We love swimming and snorkeling, hiking, paddling and exploring and discovering new places on the Big Island,

Why they chose this property

Owning a piece of Hawaii, has always been our dream. We went to Kona in 2007 stayed at The Beach Villas at Kahalu'u, Phase I and were told Phase II would be built. We jumped at the chance to have the first choice for what we think is the best condo in Phase II. The condo has incredible views of the coastline as well as the Beach. We wanted a place for us as well as our now grown and married kids, and grandkids to enjoy. We wanted a gentle beach that would be safe for the children. Kahalu’u Beach Park had that as well as life guards and a pavilion and Reef Teach (a group that will educate you about all the life in the bay) and not to mention the BEST snorkeling on the island. We love being right there only steps away. We have always felt at home with the tropics and the ocean. The landscape and scenery of the Big Island is unparalleled with anything else. From volcanoes to waterfalls to the numerous white, black and green sand beaches. There is so much to discover and places to explore. Kona, the town itself also has a great, laid-back vibe and easy access to beaches, shops, farmer's market, and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

You won't want to leave the Lanai. We have colorful fiestaware dishes to make your table very Hawaiian and beautiful. Cast your views on the swaying palms and ocean, you won't want to leave the privacy of your lanai. I like to pick up a fresh Hawaiian bouquet at the market in town for $10.00 It is sure to bring you enjoyment. Barbeque a steak or some fish down at the pool and take it up to the lanai and enjoy your evening by candle light while listening to Hawaiian music as the breeze gently blows. Bring back the romance. You won't find any more perfect ambience. The view of the coastline as well as Kahalu'u Beach is incredibly breath-taking.
The lanai features beautiful furniture where you can relax, read a book, sip your tropical drink, eat your meals and have your morning coffee.....ahhhh.....Paradise!
