Amazing time!

The place was amazing! Loved that it was gated great swimming and tennis courts. Close to all shopping and beach’s plus not a far drive from airport. Easy way to save some money with the full kitchen well worth every penny.

Resort is fabulous, #185 built too close to ocean

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The resort is really fabulous. Location great, grounds lovely and so much to do locally. However this townhouse is built too close to the ocean. The ocean side of the bottom floor was boarded up on 3 separate occasions during our 2 week stay due to the ocean swell. The noise from the waves crashing on the rocks was also very loud making it difficult to sleep. Some water even trickled into the kitchen on our final day. If we were to experience calm seas during our stay the experience would have been quite different.This probably explains the mixed reviews.I would definitely stay in the resort again but chose to either save some money and stay in a garden townhouse or choose a condo as they are set further back from the ocean edge.

Oceanfront missing view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lots of little dead bugs on the ledges. Wooden deck that has nails and splinters to cut your feet. View boarded up for part of our stay. We paid extra for the ocean front and had it removed for part of the stay. It was dark inside and very hot without the ocean breeze. Not enjoyable at all. We love the location and the place but this suite was a little run down compared to others and then the boarding up completely ruined it. I would recommend to friends but not that suite.

Best Oceanfront Townhome

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family worked remotely for a week here 1st week of Dec. Wifi was strong and reliable. Unit was exactly as described and more. First, the location is one of the best in the complex. Front door is a few steps to the pool; on the other side are unobstructed oceanfront views. Other units have a low wall or garden in the back but this unit almost looks like it has an infinity edge towards the ocean (even though rocks were below the edge). Best feature is the patio deck framed by two palm trees with comfortable patio table and chairs to view daily gorgeous sunsets. 180 degree ocean views are enjoyed from living room, kitchen, master bedroom and bath. We liked the townhome configuration with no one above or below us and both bedrooms upstairs. Owners are generous in their supply of towels, sheets, extra pillows, beach umbrella/chairs, and snorkel gear. We appreciated thoughtful touches like high quality pots and pans, strong ice maker, soap dispensers, toiletries, and even darkening curtains to minimize afternoon heat load. Unit has no a/c but there were plenty of fans to cool down the condo. Condo was super clean. Pride of ownership is evident in the complex with well manicured grounds, beautiful tropical foliage throughout and plentiful holiday lights and decorations. The icing on the cake is Knutson & Associates. I’ve worked with many property management companies and they are top notch. I echo all the praise in previous reviews for their superior customer service, attentiveness and great communication. From the start, their goal was to ensure I had the best experience. And I did. Mahalo for a most enjoyable and memorable stay. We were sad to leave but when I return, I will not hesitate to book with Knutson & Associates.

The tranquility and relaxation that this place offers are unparalleled. The management team is exceptional, ensuring clear and effective communication throughout our stay. The cleanliness, organization, and well-stocked facilities further contribute to the overall satisfaction. Without a doubt, this will be our preferred destination every time we visit the island.

I would not stay here again!

This was an incredibly rough summer at this rental. The location was gorgeous and the views lovely. But, it goes downhill from there. The unit simply feels dirty. The stove was not operational for over half our 2 month stay. The communication with the management team was horrendous. When locked out of the unit, they did not assist us for over 6 hours. I will say after several difficult conversations, the management team installed a new lock which worked well from that point forward. But then the smoke detector battery was low and was beeping — they said they would fix it the following Monday (3 days later). We left before the Monday arrived, so I cannot say how that incident was handled. We rent properties all over the world, and this is the only time we have had such an experience with a management company. It’s hard to say if the rental was the problem as the management made it impossible to know. Lastly, I’ll add that this summer we rented 3 other units concurrently on the resort property with other managers and they were all amazing with no issues. The resort is amazing. This management company was a disaster.

Great Location, enjoyed the ocean view, and sounds

We enjoyed being right on the water. This unit is slightly dated however and we found the furnishings to be a little crowded on the ground level. Kitchen was very basic, with some issues like dishwasher not anchored, and coffee grinder missing the top so it's unusable (in the land of Kona Coffee). The complex, pool and nearby beach/bay area are all very accessible by foot from this unit and all very nice.

Amazing Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Even after researching rental properties, we were blown away when we arrived here! The back door opened right out onto the ocean, and we spent a lot of time in the mornings and evenings on the lanai before and after the day's adventures. When we needed something resolved after hours, the property manager was attentive and solved our problem immediately. Throughout our stay the rental agency kept in touch with us and was responsive to our communications. Not to mention all this for an excellent price! The condition of the unit had a few rough spots, and other than the master bed the mattresses weren't terribly comfortable. But overall we feel like we got exactly what we paid for and had a great experience!

A bit disappointed

We were led to believe there was air conditioning in the unit which is why we chose it and there wasn't. Forget about cooking there because as soon as you put anything on the counter it was swarmed with little micro ants. Which were also found in the bed. I had bug bites all over my legs and they haven’t even completely gone away yet. The downstairs TV distant work. I emailed the management, per their request on the paper they left there with instructions because they didn’t want a bad review, and the response I got was basically saying sorry bout your luck what do you want me to do about it. As a property manager myself, if my residents give me written notice about issues I fix them not ask them what they want me to do about it. We went to the office several times for check-in and it was always closed. This particular management company only seem to care that they were getting paid for the stay and not making things right. Do not think we would use the service again. The best part about our stay was the view. But even that doesn’t make up for all the bug bites and unresponsiveness of property management.

Would not stay here again - too hot to sleep at night!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our booking was significantly decided by considering the previous reviews. We were not at all concerned about having to leave the windows open, and actually love to hear the waves through the night. However, the biggest overall problem was that even with the windows open we were very uncomfortable through the night due to heat. This was most nights we were there (6 night stay). A couple of nights it rained which helped the temperature a bit. Had we known how uncomfortable the nights would have been even with the windows open we would not have stayed here, and in fact, would not return to this townhouse. The townhouse is exactly as advertised and the pictures are accurate. The management company is great and we really liked the app that they have available. One morning we woke to a dead scorpion in the bathroom and it wasn't much of a concern as we are from AZ and quite used to them - - just had no idea they were also on the Hawaiian islands. The location of this townhouse is wonderful and the shopping center close by is great. We enjoyed the Tropical bar and grill several times, good eats and drinks there. Maybe it was just the July weather, but even being right on the water it was just plain too hot through the night with all windows open to get a comfortable nights rest and prepare for the next days adventures. I'd recommend looking for a place with A/C or look up average temps if you are traveling there in other months of the year. It seems that either it was just inordinately hot when we stayed or everyone else missed providing that feedback. The townhouse is exactly as advertised. The amenities and condition were great with the exception of no A/C. The owner could install a cheap window unit (or two) and it could make all the difference. As you walk around the rest of the units in KKSR you'll see that many of them do have added A/C.
