This place is magic!! I felt very comfortable. The view is surprising & beautiful! Whitney did an excellent job of answering questions & responding to my messages. I will definitely return.
This was a pretty nice little place in a nice, family oriented condo village. Great views, close to town.Clean and comfortable.The pool is clean and cool, and bustling in a Spring Break weekend.
This was a perfect home base for my husband and me as we explored the island. Watching the sunset each night and the canoe/boating activities each morning from the lanai was such a pleasure. It was so great to be right on the ocean! I appreciated how well the kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, and dish ware. It was also generously stocked with beach towels and beach chairs, cooler box, etc for our days visiting the nearby beaches. generously
Adorable condo. Everything we needed. Great location. Walking distance to lots of restaurants. Lanai is literally right over the breaking surf. We saw so many whales. Mahalo!
Had a humpback whale show right from our deck at least 4 of the 10 days we stayed at the place. Amazing views, sunsets and the sound of the waves crashing against the breakwater. Beautiful place. No air conditioning. No worries. Donât need it. The cool ocean breeze kept the place just right. This condo is exactly as described in the VRBO site and lacks nothing. Thanks Cullen.
The living room and balcony face directly at the ocean. The sound of waves crashing against the rock is great to fall asleep to. Very clean and well kept. If you want a sandy beach you'll have to travel a little. But if you want an incredible ocean view on a beautiful and interesting island, this is the place.
All the positive reviews are on point. Very clean and bright interior with a great view. Stays cool even in 80-degree weather. Easy and convenient parking. I will stay again when I return to the Big Island.
I almost want to not leave a comment and keep this hidden gem secret. What an amazing condo. It was beautifully decorated and cared for. The view from the balcony was just stunning. The sunsets breathtaking. The unit was equipped with everything you would need. Beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. We would return in a heartbeat. The owner was responsive and very welcoming. Loved it.
This property was exactly like the pictures posted on VRBO. It was super clean, the kitchen was beautiful and very well stocked and the view of the ocean from the lanai was stunning! The parking was very convenient and it was a very short drive to multiple sites in Kona. We really appreciated having an in house washer/dryer and the condo was very well stocked with towels, beach chairs, umbrellas etc. we highly recommend this property!!
For context, this is my 5th condo stay in the magical state of Hawaii (Maui, Kauai and Hawaii). The idea was initially foreign to me, as I thoroughly enjoyed hotels and resorts through the first 3 decades of vacationing in my adult life. Alas, hotels are cost prohibitive in Hawaii, a fact that was a rude awakening when planning my first trip to Maui years ago. Where dollars and cents are concerned however, adaptation is the rule, so Vrbo it is, and gladly!Now then, it is on or about day 3 when condo life in Hawaii starts to feel like home as your vacation routine takes shape. Here, the hosts have done a fantastic job with the space. It is neither gaudy nor dated. It is an open floor concept with clean, sharp lines and feels like modern day Hawaii should.With all that being said however, the interior of the unit is but the opening act, the view and sounds of the ocean on the balcony is 100% the main attraction. Yes, this is where time stands still, so bring your tired, broken down soul and get recharged near a sea of tranquility, literally. It is serene, it is surreal. It is the epitome of what a Hawaiian vacation should be; paradisal. This unit is a true gem, and if you've read this far, you can end the dizzying search of where to stay on the Big Island and enter your dates and lock this bad boy up right now. Aloha
Fantastic water front condo.Fully stocked with everything needed at a great location in Kona. Originally we were looking for a resort, but found this much better at a lower cost. We were able to explore much of the island in a seven night stay.This location is close to Fair Wind tours,
highly recommend swimming with the mantas and morning snorkel .The condo is also close to many great restaurant's. The owner Colleen was very kind to recommended Huggoâs which did not disappoint.
We loved sitting out on the lanai ,sunsets were amazing.You can hear the waves crashing and a nice breeze runs through keeping the condo very comfortable. Whitney Renolds and owner Colleen keep the property clean and well maintained. My wife and I had a great stay at this property on our vacation to the big island.
We were able to watch Manta Rays swim just off the seawall for over 40 minutes. It was less than 50 yards from us and it was amazing.
The property is very comfortable for a week getaway. It is close to anywhere you want to go on Hawaii.
Most of the awake time at the unit was spent on the lanai looking out over the water, as it was mesmerizing.
We rented the condo for a 2nd honeymoon after 27 years of marriage. The condo was exactly as it was advertised. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks was the perfect soundtrack to our vacation. The sunsets were breathtaking. The unit is centrally located and walking distance (about a mile away) great dining options. The host was responsive to all of my texts. I highly recommend this unit to anyone wanting a relaxing vacation on the Big Island.
The condo was very clean and organized. The kitchen had all of the dishes and silverware along with a dishwasher. The condo also provided beach chairs, cooler, towels, and other items. The lanai was right on the water and provided awesome sunset views every evening. There is a good ocean breeze through the condo, but it does get warm in the late afternoon as there is no air conditioner. The condo does come with 2 portable fans that helps keep the condo cool at night. The complex is a 1 mile walk to Kailua village and .5 miles to Honl's Beach.
We are so very thankful that we found this booking last minute. The property has everything you need and more and the views of Kona town are out of this world. Good surf within walking distance. We started in a resort but enjoyed this much more. All the amenities for the beach and comfortable living. Whitney Thank you so much fir sharing your beach cottage with us. We canât wait to come back! Much love and Aloha!

We were pleasantly surprised to find all of the thoughtful little upgrades that were there. A nice modern feel even on a budget. Also, having beach equipment and snorkel gear available was a big plus. The only thing that I'd change is that the shower water doesn't get very hot and doesn't last very long, but other than that I can't think of anything else that wasn't great.
The view was great. We were able to see dolphins our first morning but then weren't able to see them any other day.
It wasn't very hot for the entire trip. There was always a nice breeze through the house.
It's semi walkable to downtown Kona, and pretty central towards the south part of the island as well.
During our stay there were some very energetic upstairs neighbors, but it's a condo / apartment so sometimes it happens.
They also had a lot of beach gear. We used the hat, some of their provided beach towels, and an iron man bag. Overall a fantastic place to stay!
We enjoyed this rental very much. The sea view is stunning. We were able to watch whales every day for the entire week. The unit was clean and equipped with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The location is a walkable distance to downtown Kona with plenty of restaurants. There is a convenience store and a vendor market including the best fish tacos half a mile in the other direction. The complex was mostly quiet and peaceful during our stay, which seemed to be mostly retirees with some families with very young children. The pool was lovely as are the gardens surrounding the buildings. Pool is not recommended for older children as it is small and does not permit toys or floating contraptions. The host was also quite helpful and responsive to questions. We would stay here again!
We have been coming to Kona ever since 1989 to race in the Ironman Triathlon World Championships, and we just fell in love with it. We have returned 16 times since (12 times to participate in the ironman), and finally had the opportunity to purchase our dream condo in 2010 (that was the two bedroom unit right beside this unit #3216, which we still own). Then our family grew. More grandchildren. I loved the complex so much that I bought the 1 bedroom right beside (this unit #3217). It has been completely renovated as well. Both our condos are very special, as A/C is not needed. Our unique positioning allows for direct breeze off the ocean. A natural A/C all the time (and no need to close any windows). Kona, The Sea Village, and our two units are so special. There is not a more beautiful spot!
