The location was ideal for us, and was a beautiful view! We had a great stay, the property was clean, well organized and the check in was easy. Pool looked clean and refreshing, although we did not have an opportunity to utilize it. Our only want, a bit more of a selection of pots/ skillets, and cooking utensils… but everyone is different. We would definitely recommend and would visit again if our travels bring us back to the area.

FIrst, the things we loved about the property. You could not get any closer to the ocean. The lanai had a straight on view with beautiful sunsets and a small beach. The condo was very clean, and the mini split A/C was very much appreciated as it was unusually hot and humid. The beds were comfortable, and the fans helped keep us cool. Despite some of the comments below, I would probably stay there again. Location was a plus. There was one elevator that went to the 4th floor, which was helpful. They were having a bee problem about half way to our room. We had to do a lot of duck and cover at that area.The building was a bit dated and the condo could have used a fresh coat of paint. If you want to spend any time on the lanai to enjoy the view you will have to turn off the air as the A/C unit outflow will blow very hot air on you. (This was a minor problem: As long as the mini split was turned off when we were out there.) The photos made the place look a bit larger than it actually was. The couch could use an update also. The view was worth the price. Could have done without the bees, but that is not the owners fault. All and all it was a nice place to stay.

Great location just a little too touristy for what we were looking for

Short visit with Ohana (one night) 4th story right on the water, older building but well appointed. Quite nice!

The listing was very accurate. We really enjoyed the unit. The period we were there had high temp and humidity. The combination of the A/C and fans cooled the unit down, even after we had been out (we turned the A/C off when we went out). Please note we did not use the 2nd bedroom.
The view is outstanding. Nothing between you and the ocean. The lanai is huge (I figure it's 8 feet deep and 22 feet wide). It gives lots of area to sit. We spent a lot of time out there with coffee, a book or just watching the waves and sea turtles in the reef and cove.
The unit was very private. We didn't hear anyone around us, even though they were there. During the day you did get some road noise but I didn't notice it while sleeping.
The unit was very clean. The flooring is good on the feet and the lack of carpet helps. Kitchen is well laid out and has all the equipment you could use.
The location worked well for us. Two or three small beach areas on the property (the one in front of the unit is great when the tide is coming in). 15 minute walk to Magic Sands beach and 10 minute drive to an even bigger beach. 20 minutes from the airport and 5-10 minutes to old town Kona.
The unit has a keyless entry which was very appreciated.
The building has a pool which we didn't use. We did use the onsite "Da Poke Hut". Very fresh.

We had a wonderful time together. We watched sunrises and sunsets daily as we prepared to go on excursions. The big island has so much to offer and it was truly a wonderful experience. The condo was clean and perfect for our family of four.

Carolyn's place was fantastic! My husbad and I stayed at her condo for a few nights and were very impressed with the location, amenities, and the cleanliness of the space. Don't forget about the views! It was so enjoyable grabbing a cup of coffee in the morning and sitting out on the balcony. We even saw a turtle one morning. We highly recommend Carolyn's place and will most definitely be staying there again when we come back!

What a perfect way to spend a vacation. We slept with the door open to the balcony and slept to the sound of the ocean. The condo was clean, comfortable and in a great location.

Late arrival found a security guard who helped us get our bearings with parking and finding our way to our place. Thanks Quintin. Condo was as described in our correspondence, had a little difficulty figuring out lights and air conditioning as it was quite warm as we arrivied late. We enjoyed our time on the property and were especially pleased to explore the tide pools and watch a turtle munch away right before our very eyes. Hawaii was all that we expected and more. Thank you!

Place was clean and accomodated us, view was good, no real beach and amenities were just ok, pool etc.
On busy road, so no real place to walk along beach etc. if you are looking for that, look elsewhere.

Fantastic views with a nice lava cove plus some sandy beach. The best of both with seeing turtles and tropical fish. Great view of the sunset and moonset. The best part is the view from the living room and master bed is of the ocean! Awesome!

I noticed the place was not as clean as it should have been. Then we noticed the ants, I contacted the owner, who blamed the cleaners. We had to kill ants every time we walked into the kitchen, this was more than a not cleaning well enough issue. Then 2 nights before we left we saw roaches. I again contacted the owner who said she could get some one in there to spray, but with only 2 nights left we did not want to get sick from the fumes. There were other things, AC was leaking, she got someone in right away to fix that. The bathroom off of the main bedroom had a cold water faucet that fell off in my husband's hand. Then the shower did not get hot water only warm, so we used the other bathroom shower off of the kitchen. There were so many little things that added up to frustration, the roaches were the worst. It is a lot of money to have to kill ants every time in the kitchen. If you stay here and don't mind the issues, enjoy the lanai, it's the best part along with the ocean front property where turtles like to spend time.

This condo was the real deal. The view was amazing and gave you a sense of solitude while still being very close to several towns. Everything was just as pictured and advertised. The included parking was convenient and easily accessible. There is a very nice binder of information on many restaurants, bars and activities in the room. The hosts were responsive and kind. 5 stars.
