Everything we wanted or needed

The condo was everything the pictures and description represented: stunning views, clean and comfortable, and nicely appointed. We watched turtles in the tide-pools, and beautiful sunsets at night. The building itself is older, but well maintained. Location was great, just a couple of miles from the downtown area of Kailua-Kona. Parking was easy, and the Poke Shack that adjoins the property was a nice treat! Courtney and Lee were phenomenal hosts, and their communication was excellent. We had one minor issue with a ceiling fan, and they had it fixed right away. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

Perfection!

Spectacular location and view! Sea turtles in the bay below! Quiet!! Some of the most beautiful sunsets we've ever seen.Accommodations were beyond what was expected. Every kitchen utensil you would need, plenty of towels, and comfortable beds. We left the doors open most of the time and only used the AC at bedtime. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Minutes from downtown Kona. If you have any questions the landlords get back to you in a timely manner. Sad to leave, but looking forward to coming again in the future.

A Winner

This condo has all the right elements for a relaxing getaway. Ocean just below your deck with views to forever, well-stocked kitchen and baths, quiet building, covered parking and comfy beds! We have been in this area many times, but this is the first time we preferred to just stay “home” and soak up the ambiance. Hated to leave! 😃

Amazing Condo!

We were coming to the big island for the first time and in need of a relaxing get away from work. This was the most amazing condo and just what the doctor ordered! We found ourselves sitting on the amazing patio enjoying the amazing view instead of going out. Waking up to the view of the waves crashing is perfect and this is by far the best VRBO we have stayed in thus far! Plenty of tools in the kitchen for cooking your own meals and BBQ's with the best view in the world. Quite and relaxing, this is definitely where we would stay if we were booking a stay on the big island. It is also close to Kona and easy to get to everything quickly. Thank you for the most relaxing place to stay.

Fabulous condo, great views, great location

We truly enjoyed our vacation at this condo. It’s clean, comfortable (AC in all rooms with individual temperature controls), great location (right on the water close to restaurants and beaches), so many thoughtful amenities (kitchen with condiments, utensils, toaster, rice maker, coffee maker; beach towels, beach chairs, beach mats; binoculars, flash lights). They even had hair dryer and straightener, which had I know would have saved me carrying mine (would have rather brought my own shampoo/conditioner/body wash as they provide one tiny set per bathroom only). The owners are awesome and communicate well, their suggestions guide was on point we tried all the restaurants they mentioned and they’re great. The view from the patio is beautiful and we enjoyed sunsets and a couple dinners there as the view was better than at restaurants. We would love to be back!

Kona Beach Stay

Although the complex in which the unit is located is old and somewhat worn down, the unit itself has been significantly updated and has a nice kitchen and excellent furniture, including two very nice beds. The surface cleaning of the unit was great, but it is in need of a deep clean. A reserved covered parking spot is made available, which is nice and convenient especially when it is raining. Luxurious quantities of towels are supplied in the unit, along with ample supplies of paper towels, toilet paper, bar soap, hand soap, laundry detergent, and dishwashing pods. The balcony looks west directly out over the ocean, with a beautiful view of the water, as well as the rocky beach area immediately below. The sunsets were delightful and several nights we even had a full moon glittering on the water just before sunrise. Nearby surfers could be watched during the day as entertainment, and an occasional sea turtle showed up to rest in the rocks just below the balcony. The rocky beach area was particularly enjoyable for sunbathing and dipping of toes and body to cool off. It was pleasant to hang out there rather than driving long distances to far-away beaches. Overall this unit was very nice. The only item of shortcoming was the capacity of the hot water heater: It was plenty hot enough, but lasted only about 5 minutes, just enough time for one shower only.

Gorgeous Waterfront Condo

First of all the view is stunning! We absolutely loved our stay at this property. Our hosts provided everything we needed. Bath and beach towels, toiletries, delicious Kona coffee, binoculars, air conditioning and fans in every room. I am on the short side so it was thoughtful to have step stools handy. You did a wonderful job trying to think of everything someone might need. We tried every restaurant suggestion you made in the handy renters manual. Great food at all of them. We would rent this condo again without question. I do have a couple of small suggestions for the owners. I would remind tenants to empty the lint trap in the dryer. We couldn't close the lint trap because it was so full. I tried to fish out as much as possible, but I am sure it needed more lint taken out. Also, a dust broom and pan would be handy. I felt bad leaving sand on the nice floors. Thank you so much! Our stay was amazing!

Lovely rental

Property is ideal for staying close to Kona. The amenities are as described and all functioning (not something you find in all rentals). The pictures of the view don't do it justice. It was lovely to sit on porch and watch the turtles , the fish and the surfers. Parking is easy. Provided beach chairs, towels and umbrellas made beach trips extra enjoyable. I like the Hele-On an hourly free shuttle bus that picks up across the street if you want a cocktail in town and prefer not to drive. Be warned it runs on a rather erratic schedule and it's good to tell the driver where you want to get off. Mahalo to my hosts

Pictures did not disappoint

I rarely give 5 star reviews. On this one, I would have given 6 stars if available. The condo was exactly as advertised. Extremely clean and well maintained. The pictures of the unit and the views were exactly as shown. I was worried when we booked that they were 20 year old pictures and the views were from other common areas. Not the case. The location and quality of accommodations made our vacation more special.

Honeymoon #3

We married in April 2022, we are retired, we love traveling. this was our 8th rental in the last year. This was our BEST rental experience. Hosts were in contact well ahead of our visit to inquire about our interests and of any previous experience on the Big Island and then responded with many suggestions. Like many properties in this area, the building shows signs of its age and is in need of some TLC. However, the condo was an oasis, remodeled and well maintained. We spent every breakfast and evening on the lanaii and slept to the sound of the surf with the windows open. (We now have Google play "ocean sounds" every night"). We had our big meal during our daytime ventures around the island so we could dine on Costco shrimp platters and white wine at sunset. The free island transport stops in front of the complex each hour, so it is an easy visit to Kailua without dealing with traffic or parking. The kitchen was perfect for our use of light meals and can accomodate full meals if desired. There are ceiling fans everywhere so, even in August, the AC was never needed. Furniture was stylish and comfortable and is in the process of being upgraded again. If you don't rent this property, someone else will be enjoying themselves here!

Great place to stay! Really appreciated that the whole place had air conditioning and not just the bedrooms. The owner had both flashlights and binoculars that came in handy. The seating in the living room was not as comfortable as it looked. Detailed instructions on how to use the remotes for the lights and fans would have been helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Lee & Courtney

Host profile image
Courtney and I are incredibly blessed to call Kailua-Kona, Hawaii home. We're originally from Bend, Oregon.

We are available 24/7 and are not happy with anything less than a truly magical Hawaiian holiday for each and every one of our guests!

Our home is a lively place with three multigenerational Australian Labradoodles and a 300-gallon saltwater fish tank full of beautiful Hawaiian critters.

Courtney is retired from healthcare and now enjoys working at a popular jewelry shop in downtown Kailua. Lee runs a couple businesses that he started from scratch. We work together to give our guests the very best Hawaiian Holiday possible.

Why they chose this property

The oceanfront setting of the condo is truly breathtaking. We looked at over a dozen oceanfront condos before we found this one. We've never seen a more beautiful oceanview and we are pretty confident you will agree!

What makes this property unique

We love the water and you cannot get much closer to the ocean than this condo. Just out the door from the condo you can swim, surf, snorkel, spear-fish, paddle board…and so much more.

You'll love the ocean but the condo itself is truly wonderful. From top to bottom, everything is all new and tastefully done.
