I did a lot of research for this first visit to the big island. Our criteria—ocean view and kitchen. KMS #201--Wow. There are too many wonderful things to name here, but I will try. Email me if you want more: Location – On Ali’i Drive, nice walk or short drive to the farmer’s market (nine luscious papayas for $2 USD).... More

Pro's - great location with ocean views/access - Sunset is fabulous!!!! - great sized lanai - very comfortable tempurpedic bed (murphy bed so goes up... More

This is a fabulous condo unit with the beach next door. It iis well situated on the third floor with a great view of the ocean activity, dolphins, turtles, and colorful fish (the spinner dolphins put on a great display for an hour). Sunsets are, of course, dramatic and watching the swimmers in the surf is a hoot. The condo... More

This location is perfect if you want to stay close to Kailua's touristy area but far enough away for it to be quiet. Pros: - Beautiful view of the water (I got to see dolphins playing one morning!) - Great kitchen -- fully stocked with tools, pans, utensils, etc. - Plenty of towels for showering, beach and kitchen. - Good...

The bedding was worn. I found some newer sheets in a closet which I put on the bed. The bed is hard and well worn. Some of the furniture have rips in them. At least the TV is new and the place is clean. If you want to see and hear ocean waves, this is the place, but don't expect... More

This was a great get-away spot for my hubby and me.The studio was clean, cute, and roomy. The bed was extra comfy, and everything we needed was there from cooking apparatus, to seasonings, to boogie boards! We ate on pretty dishes at a table practically on the ocean. The view was stunning, and we could even watch colored fish in... More

We stayed there this summer in unit 106 it was great. We found the unit in vrbo.com. We were a little apprehensiveness at first due to the large deposit $500.00. But after we communicated with the owners we realized they had allot of amenities worth protecting and they just purchased two 21 speed mountain bikes. Hey we left too early... More

We stayed in this wonderful unit for 7 days in late July (just came back) and simply can’t say enough great things about it. This complex is located on the best beach in Kona. Location couldn't have been better. It is a short driving distance to lots of shopping and dining options, quite a few within walking distance. As for... More

The condo is simple and modest but quite clean. This unit is great because it is one of the few in the building with a large lanai (balcony). The lanai and the condo are VERY close to the ocean so you can see the tropical fish swimming in the ocean just by standing on the balcony - no snorkel required.... More

We stayed in unit 206. Ab Fab. The decor was beautiful and the studio was sparkling clean. Everything you could want was in a cupboard or on a shelf. The view was amazing. The waves are LOUD, but hey, it's oceanfront!! Alice was lovely to deal with. The free shuttle picked us up to take us in to town right... More
