RIGHT ON THE WATER in one of Kailua-Kona's most sought after complexes! This open and spacious, 2-bedroom condo has a spectacular, 180-degree, Kona coastline and ocean view. From the private lanai, watch spinner dolphins as you savor your morning Kona coffee. Later, experience a beautiful sunset after a fun day exploring the island or enjoying the beautiful oceanside pool and hot tub. The location is convenient to historic downtown restaurants and shops, and many popular island activities.
This condo is the largest of the Sea Village 2-bedroom floor plans at almost 1000 square feet. Guests enjoy the roomy and open kitchen/dining/living area with ocean views, but especially love watching dolphins, whales (Dec-Mar), and fish just off the lanai. As new owners in 2021, we are continuing to make upgrades. Extensive renovations were just completed, including new flooring, windows, cabinets, countertops, en suite bathroom, and more.
We've ensured the unit is equipped with everything you need to enjoy a wonderful vacation in paradise, including wifi, a well-stocked kitchen, extra toiletries, full-sized washer and dryer, a new 55" television, and beach gear. The no-stairs entry is helpful for transporting luggage or bikes, or for those with mobility concerns.
Bedrooms/Bathrooms:
The master bedroom has a California King mattress and an en suite bathroom that's been upgraded to a tile walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed and the guest bath with walk-in shower is just steps away. Both bedrooms have ample closets and dressers for storage and are cooled by the breezes and fans.
Grounds:
The grounds of Sea Village are lush and well-maintained. The beautiful pool and hot tub are centrally located and oceanside. Just behind the pool is a large common area with BBQ's area for grilling. There is also a popular, privately-owned coffee, sandwich and smoothie shop on the property.
Other things to note:
No A/C?!
Sea Village condos were constructed without A/C and because of our proximity to the ocean we have not installed an external air conditioning system in our unit. This condo will be warmer than other condos with A/C, and may not be for you if you like a cold environment. But, because it is located right on the ocean, the trade winds usually help to keep the unit very comfortable. We also have ceiling and portable fans in each room. After sunset, the mauka (mountainside) breeze typically develops and helps cool the bedrooms overnight if the windows are open. However, if you are concerned about the heat during warmer months of the summer and early fall, we were recently approved to have a portable A/C unit set-up in the living room (the room that gets all the afternoon sun and heat). If you would like to have the A/C unit set up there will be an additional fee of $20/night (just to cover Hawaii's exhorbitant electricity costs). Please note: the portable A/C unit is only able to cool the common living space (living area and kitchen) during the afternoon/evening and is not to be run overnight as it is not rated to cool the bedrooms. Please request the portable A/C when making your reservation, or at least four days prior to your arrival, otherwise there will be a $50 call-out fee to set it up during your stay.
Travel Insurance:
We STRONGLY recommend "cancel for any reason" travel insurance for our guests. We hope you understand, that as an individual owner, we ...

We’ve been staying at the Sea village for 20 plus years and this was one of our favorite ones. The owners recently updated areas very tastefully! We felt very at home and comfortable and truly enjoyed our stay! The owner was flexible and kind with an early check in and late check out which was much appreciated! I would recommend this condo which is very well stocked with everything you need! Very peaceful and loved that there weren’t any stairs for entry .

Have stayed in a dozen different condos on the islands over the years, and this unit in Sea Village was definitely the best. Immaculately clean, lanai right above the shore, parking close to the unit, new furnishings, very well-stocked kitchen, and within walking distance of tourist shops & restaurants. (Parking fees are exorbitant, so really appreciated being able to walk.) We saw whales, dolphins, and goats from the lanai. Would definitely stay here again. Hosts were very gracious.

No trick photography here. Photos are accurate. Right at waters edge. Cleanest VRBO we've ever stayed at. Very well stocked with kitchen supplies, beach gear, extra towels, bedding. Location is great. Definitely a 5 star accommodation.

We had such a wonderful time at this property. We love to cook when we are on vacation and their knives are even sharp. Not a big deal for some people, but it mattered to us! :') We loved the view and the waves. We got to see a whale breach just off the lanai. The place was clean and comfortable for the 4 of us. They were super accommodating to our needs. It is close enough to town that we could go out to eat or snorkeling different places with ease. We easily found parking whenever we went back. We also met other people staying there and everyone was very nice and helpful. Cathy checked in with us regularly during out stay to make sure that everything was as expected and to see if there was anything we needed. It was very sweet. Excellent place for a vacation! My only regret was that we didn't stay longer.

We experienced very high surf for the duration of our stay. Unfortunately we were not able to take advantage of the ocean breezes as the surf was crashing into the building. Otherwise we had a wonderful time while here and enjoyed the property and area. I would recommend this property as a wonderful location and facility.

We spent the week with my elderly mother. The condo has all amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. My mom sat out on the patio every morning and evening to listen to the waves and watch the sunset. The condo is very close to all the restaurants (walking 20 mins and 5 mins drive). Cathy was very responsive through out the process and our stay. We didn’t need the AC and enjoyed listening to the sound of the waves at night. Highly recommend this place.

This condo is RIGHT on the water and we could not have been more pleased with the location and amenities! It was very well stocked with everything we needed and then some. We kept the windows open the entire time and it helped to cool the place as there is no AC. We spent a lot of time on the lanai and just loved watching the water and sunsets - and rain moving in too! The condo is in a prime location as well, close to many of the activities we had planned, as well as just far enough outside of downtown to lend some nice privacy. We truly enjoyed our stay here and recommend this place and the owners!

Great location, great views. Sunsets from the lanai were spectacular. The pool and barbecue area were very nice.
The condo was very well stocked with everything you could possible need. Including beach chairs, towels, boogie board, snorkeling gear and ice chests. The property manager was very helpful with suggestions for restaurants etc.
We would definitely stay hear again.

This is an amazing property, so close to the ocean and with all the amenities you need for a fantastic vacation. The condo itself is lovely with comfortable beds and furnishings. A fully equipped kitchen with more than just the basics so you don't need to buy salt and pepper or those other throwaway items so often needed in short term rentals. There is even a Keurig coffee maker with refillable pods so you can make your morning coffee with local Kona coffee.
Beach toys, snorkel gear, chairs and a sun umbrella have been thoughtfully provided. There are lots of towels and even a supply of reef safe sunscreen. Bedding is comfy and the louvered windows allow for a nice air flow. We left the patio door open as much as we could but you are so close to the ocean that sometimes a big swell would splash the deck and we would have to close it for awhile.
The lanai provides a beautiful view of Kona Town, the cruise ships when visiting and Kailua Bay. We saw pods of spinner dolphins, lots of kayakers, swimmers and even a couple of whales off shore. A really special place to spend the mornings enjoying coffee and all the sights. (Yes, there is even a pair of binoculars!)
The Sea Village itself is a fantastic building with a great little pool overlooking Kailua Bay that has showers and lots of chairs. There is a grilling area with newer, well maintained Weber Grills. The grill area is well lit with picnic tables for people to set up for dinner or to just join the BBQ'er as dinner is prepared. The other guests and residents are very friendly and the "Grilling hour" was always a good time to get tips of where to go and visit.
All in all this is a super spot. The condo is well maintained, the facilities are great, the views can't be beat and all the thoughtful extras are appreciated. Catherine is the host and was easy to get in touch with and did her best to answer our questions and accommodate our needs. This is a wonderful place to spend your vacation and we are already dreaming about our return!

The condo was exactly as depicted. It was very functional for our group. The location was ideal, being less than a mile from the restaurants and shops of Kona. The patio was great for meals and drinks while watching the sunset. The lack of a/c wasn't an issue with a steady ocean breeze coming through the condo. There was plenty of spare beach equipment to help save on rentals.
