Pest Control: I have both condos treated for pests quarterly. Just be aware, this is an oceanfront home on an Island. Occasionally, there are insects. If you leave food out, the tiny ants will come, if you leave the door or screen open, bugs will come in. If insects bother you, then look somewhere else.

We take pride in both our vacation rentals. Our main goal is that you are totally, 100% satisfied with your stay and you keep coming back.

We rented the place because the website photos showed a grill. There was no grill when we arrived, that was a HUGE disappointment.
Not a lot of kitchen prep accessories
If you eat out a lot that shouldn't be a problem.
Major appliances were nice.

Great stay. The condo was exactly as described. Very spacious and spotless. The queen bed in the master was lovely. The large walk in shower delightful. The views from both lanais was breathtaking. Mark was super responsive. We extended our stay by 3 days and the entire process was handled by Mark in just a few minutes. We especially loved the space. The condo is very spacious. This is a three unit building so not part of a big condo complex. Parking was right in front of the building. Lots of privacy and great views. There are plenty of dishes, silverware, glasses and cups. A drip coffee maker and a Kuerig. Plenty of beach towels, chairs, dive masks and snorkels. Looked to be brand new fullsize Maytag washer and driver. Everything we needed. The wave action on the rocks directly in front was a little louder than expected, but beautiful nonetheless. About 1 mile to restaurants and shopping. Great stay.

This place is 100% about staying on the water! The view is amazing and can’t be beat. It’s an older place that had been updated with love. The unfortunate issue with the ants is something you’ll find all over the island and the owner is working on the issue.

Our family came to Kona for the first time and enjoyed every minute of it! This condo had the best location…close to everything. But the biggest selling point is the view! Beautiful! We sat out there every morning and evening!

This ocean side unit is a bit old but has a renovated interior that is very functional. The view is incredible, ocean waves and breeze. Easy walk to town and restaurants. Fronting street can be busy but ocean noise usually cancels the street sound and most drivers will yield when you are exiting the property.

We've rented more than 25 VRBO properties in Kona in 21 years, and this is one of the hilight ones for sure. Morning coffee and evening wine on the two lanai, watching whales and a great sunset, it's a place we would rent again for sure!

We LOVED staying at this property. We saw whale spouts, tails, pectoral fins and breaches from the lanai! Next time I will bring a telephoto lens. Fortunately Binoculars brought whales closer. We were mesmerized by the crashing waves, spotting Yellow Tang and other fish in the surf. We did close the glass patio doors, though, so we could sleep.
The shower was fantastic.
The washer and dryer were a wonderful luxury.
My brother and sister-in-law joined us here for some meals and whale-watching. They stayed in a nearby hotel.
The decor was tasteful, the bed we used and the furniture are comfortable.
The parking is tight. We are glad we had a small SUV.
The art gallery on ground level is delightful. Enjoyed meeting the artist.
A wonderful stay overall, in January of the year we celebrate our 50th Anniversary.

We loved this place. The ocean view was great. We spent a lot of time watching the waves crashing on the lava rocks. It was equipped with everything we needed for cooking and all the equipment needed for a day at the beach. The closest beach was a very easy walk. And the restaurants and tourist area was just a little farther.

We loved this condo and cannot say enough good things. The condo was stocked with regular household needs which cut down on expenses but also thoughtful things like beach chairs, coolers and snorkel gear. The bathrooms, washer dryer and flooring were all updated and which made the feel so luxurious! I saw past reviews about insects and was initially worried but as long as you kept things clean it was good. The only knock was parking which was tight but that’s typical Hawaii. The location was glorious. OMG! Quick walk to the beach, and then a close walk to downtown Kona. The condo was the nearest to the ocean we have ever stayed and so very peaceful with the constant breeze and soothing sound. The double balcony was amazing! We got to see spinner dolphins come so close and put on quite a show. We can't wait to stay there again!!

This property is close to a lot of the action, bars, restaurants, shopping. Also, what an awesome view! Good communication with owner. Just a tight fit for parking.
We had a great time staying here on our tour of the big island!

Nice place....not a personal fan of Asian furniture, do not find comfortable. The surf and traffic are loud, but tolerable. Overall, a good stay.
