NOTE: Due to Covid concern, our unit takes every precaution to insure you have a not only beautiful, but safe place to stay. You can purchase insurance for you family thru CSA. I was given the number by VRBO. It is 800 348-9505. I know it can be unnerving in these times, but you can protect you and your family if one of the travelers has a positive test. I have been flexible with past reservations when Hawaii closed and will gladly work with you to insure you have the best memorable time while in Kona.
***PARADISE...PARADISE...PARADISE *** WE JUST LOVE THIS LITTLE GEM AND YOU WILL TOO. This unit B-325, has the perfect location. We are on the third floor for fabulous ocean view and nobody overhead. NO STAIRS needed to get into the unit either. Just park and walk a few steps to the elevator. You can unload your car, (I like to borrow the cart from the laundry room) and just bring everything up to the condo without any stairs.....Please make sure to bring the cart back right away if you do borrow it. :)
Owning a piece of Hawaii has been a dream. We recently purchased this unit and have done updating and remodeling with new paint in all the rooms, new linens, flooring and bought a new king size comfy bed as well as other new furniture and decor. The living room has a flat screen tv, stereo, DVD player and added a new flat screen tv in the bedroom. The well stocked kitchen has a breakfast bar, dishes, beverage glasses, silverware, complete cooking utensils, a tea kettle, lettuce spinner, coffee grinder, blender, toaster,built in microwave, dishwasher, fridge, stove, oven., etc. We try to leave spices and whatever you find in the cupboard, feel free to use.
* There is free wireless internet where you can make free long distance calls to the US and Canada. Air conditioning is included.
We recently remodeled the bathroom with new fixtures, and glass block tiles. There are 2 doors for the bathroom, so if you have someone sleeping on the sleeper sofa in the living, you are able to close off your bedroom door to the bedroom. (Some of the units that are not remodeled, just have one door and everyone would have to come through the master bedroom to use the bathroom) There is a built in hairdryer and some toiletries available, as well as towels, of course and beach towels.
The bedroom's tropical touch is the added bamboo pole that has swagged island linen over the window. There are blinds for privacy. We recently purchased a new comfy king sized bed and all the linens. You can sleep with the windows open and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. There is an iron and ironing board in the bedroom closet.
* There are ceiling fans throughout.
*I love paying attention to every decorator detail to give the condo a very island ambience.
The living room has a a queen size sleeper sofa as well as a comfy chair and ottoman.
You can enjoy the lanai with table and 4 new chairs and cushions with gorgeous view of the ocean. You might spot whales or dolphins while enjoying your cocktails and meals.
The complex boasts 2 beautiful favorite is the ocean side salt pool I love it when the waves splash over the seawall. The grounds are meticulously manicured and have over 40 different varieties of hibiscus. There is a large covered pavilion and 3 large barbecues. Tables and chairs are both under the pavilion and out on the large patio that overlooks some...

The condo was just right for two people. I was a little concerned that the instructions stated only two towels per guest. I did contact the host and she did reply that a beach towel and bath towel were the two towels but the cleaning person would not be upset if we used a couple more. It was lovely sitting on the balcony in the morning to enjoy breakfast and the salt water pool area was so peaceful. It would have been nice if some coffee and filters were available at least for day one. Hopefully the coffee and filters we left will be enjoyed by the next guest. The location is perfect. Within walking distance to a lot of coffee shops, restaurants and beaches. There is a laundry facility on site but no way to purchase laundry detergent. My suggestion would be if the host could leave one or two laundry pods so guests could at least do one load of laundry, just as a courtesy. The last VRBO we stayed at did provide this and it made it so much more convenient. My only complaint, which is not really a complaint, is that the check out instructions stated we needed to vacuum up sand. There is a cleaning fee charged so I'm not sure why we need to vacuum before leaving. I guess if you are not a polite guest and shake off all of your sand prior to entering a home, you would drag in a lot of sand. We only cooked breakfast and the one big frying pan had a loose handle so that made things a little tricky. Overall, the condo was very comfortable and location excellent.

Fantastic property! We personally had the chance to meet the owners & felt like we had known them for years. Condo felt like we were at home. Perfect place to relax, unwind and watch the waves from pool & small private beach! We will definitely return and stay at this beautiful, cozy home in Hawaii paradise!! So close to town but not in the heart of Kona which is exactly what we were looking for! Thank you Gail & Phil.

I'm giving this property an overall rating of 1 star based on their filing an insurance claim after we left for damage which did not occur--at all.
Otherwise, I probably would have given them 3 stars. The condo was ok. A little dated, could have used a deep cleaning (most things sticky to the touch), a little under supplied, but generally ok. We had a few minor issues, (broken sun shade, couldn't figure out how to make TV work, cord came off the fan when we tried to turn it on, etc.) but the owner replied quickly and cheerfully and had them fixed by her son in law when we mentioned them. I wouldn't have even bothered to leave this review, except that after we got home, we were shocked to learn that the owner had filed a $1,300 insurance damage claim, alleging that we'd broken all these items and done other damage as well, including a "cigarette burn" (we don't smoke). All of this is completely untrue--it simply did not happen. We are responsible renters in our 60's and we don't run around breaking things (we've never before received a rating from an owner under 5 stars). I am at a loss to explain the owner's conduct in filing this insurance claim after acknowledging the problems and having them fixed--we've never had an experience like this in our lives. Suffice it to say that we, at least, will never stay in a condo owned by this owner again.

We stayed at Gail's condo for a long weekend. Her communication was great. The only hiccup was my fault as I had missed an email she sent. The unit was very clean however there could be a bit of updating here or there. We realy like the larger lanai, we have found small lanais in other locations that were.nt comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with spices, condiments etc. It appears that the leave the items the guests may leave behind which made cooking easier than anywhere else we have stayed in Kono.

Too bad it was only 10 days! We were comfortable, into a great easy-going routine, and enjoying our stay, when suddenly, it was time to go home. :( Comfortable bed, easy to work in kitchen, and good view from the lanai. Gail was quick to answer questions we had, and her list of fun things to do was very informative. We would be happy to return to Gail's little piece of paradise!

Our place was perfect in every way. Gail and Phil thought of everything. Our favorite was the salt water pool swims early in the am. Everyone was so friendly and we enjoyed the sunset with the conch blowing . We would definitely come back here. Mahola Gail and Phil

Very clean, no surprises, and the location is outstanding! Right on Ali'i drive which was busy for the Ironman race but we never heard traffic or any other noise. Lanai overlooked a beautiful and quiet courtyard and the two pools were fantastic. We will definitely stay here again if we get the chance!

We wanted to relax, and this place was very relaxing. All the information we received made arrival and check-in extremely easy. There is some rock work on the right side of the complex where the elevator is. We parked near that. This condo is very close to the elevator.
There are ceiling fans inside and out to keep the air feeling fresh. It was a bit warmer than usual (ya know, by a degree or so) so we used A/C quite a bit. The A/C does a great job of cooling the whole place. It was well decorated with lots of supplies in the kitchen, plenty of towels, beach supplies, shopping bags, sundries, and games. We enjoyed the saltwater pool. The grounds were well taken care of with lots of birds hanging out. We're missing the sounds of those birds! Friendly geckos came to visit us on the lanai too!
We caused an issue (unheard of!) and had to contact Gail. She was very helpful and friendly to chat with. Now there's a new coffee maker in the place too!
