The condo is located close to shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and beautiful beaches. It’s on the second floor and there is an elevator. It is beautifully decorated and has everything you’d need to enjoy your stay. Plenty of beach toys, towels, and an ice chest on wheels. You have a peek of the ocean from the lani and living room. The kitchen is well equipped. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again!
We have traveled to the big Island quite a bit over the last 20 years. We have been staying at the Vistas for the past 15 years and love this location and the complex. This unit is one of our favorites that we have stayed in. It’s well equipped with beach gear, kitchen stuff and even cocktail shakers and glasses. We can’t wait to return and hope to stay in this unit again!
Beautiful, clean, well-appointed and quiet condo. Located close to beach, shops and restaurants. Owner was very responsive and friendly. We will stay definitely stay there again.
Kona is Puiwa! The beautiful condo was a perfect location to launch our adventures. It had all the amenities we needed! 2 bedrooms with king beds and attached bathrooms were perfect for 2 couples. A gorgeous upgraded kitchen. Beach chairs and umbrellas for lazy days on Kona’s amazing beaches! Sunsets on the lanai were incredible. The location allowed us easy access to Volcanoes National Park as well as other parts of the island. Totally recommend this condo…5 Stars!
This lovely vacation home was exactly what we hoped for. Amazing kitchen that was fully stocked with spices and stables like sauces, sugar, flour... Excellent appliances, juicer, blender etc. We used the grill at the common area which was clean and easy. The bathrooms were lovely, lots of towels and amenities. Lots of books, beach chairs etc. Great location! Easy walk to shops, beach, Marriott, Hilton. Looking forward to a return trip.
Other than struggling with the TV situation, since we aren’t very tech-savvy, everything was absolutely fantastic! We love our time in this unit!
The condo is very pleasant and has everything you could possibly need.
As a Grandma and Grandpa, we took our 17 year old granddaughter and her friend to the big island for a beach vacation. The condo proved to be in an excellent location for them to explore many popular and other more remote beaches along the coast! A new beach every day. The condo itself is beautiful. Amazing attention to detail in every aspect.
Beautifully done with a partial ocean view. Very comfortable for adults. Fully stocked kitchen
Great location and had enough room for the family. Very comfortable place, allows you to feel relaxed and very easy to get the flow of things. Beautiful area with lots of sunshine, and beaches on this side of the island. We used it as a homebase to explore the rest of the island.
