The location is excellent if you want to be near Kona (for restaurants, mostly for us) but out of the hubbub of downtown and if, like we did, you want to see much of the island. Loved the deck for outside meals and the view of the ocean from the deck is great (but no sunset view when we were there). The condo is without any major issues - large enough, well-stocked kitchen, very clean on arrival. The tennis courts were good. Just one minor gripe - no shower soap provided - just hand soap in the bathrooms

Total reason to rent this condo is location - across the street from White Sands Beach, front of the complex for awesome views! Sunset views every night were amazing from the lanai. Complex pool is wonderful. I stayed a month, two weeks with my sister and two weeks with my husband and children. All ages enjoyed the stay.

That being said, I am from New England and this condo reminds me very much of a 'camp' in Maine. Comfortable and everything you need is there, but dated and cluttered. Carpets old and covered with throw rugs that were mostly a trip hazard. Closets are already mostly full with owner's things and even the space under the beds was stuffed with things.

Bountiful towels but mostly older, smaller and some thinning. Multiple sheet sets taking up space in limited storage space. TONS of dishes and kitchen stuff, but sometimes hard to find, cabinets and hall closet so full.

Beach chairs are of the smallest cheapest variety. We made a quick trip to Costco for 2 good beach chairs (back pack type Tommy Bahama) and 4 good beach towels (large thick towels), cost us maybe $100 and was well worth it.

Lots of furniture, couch and living room chairs are very comfortable. Lanai is crowded with furniture that is not very comfortable for 'lounging'. Only dining table is on the lanai.

Beds are comfortable, one is firm and one is very soft, good for whatever you like.

Designated parking space is right at the bottom of the stairs, and unit is right at the top of the stairs. So we walked up and down the stairs to the third floor as we came and went each day. There is an elevator, which is up an incline from the parking space and when you get off at the third floor, you still have a long hallway and down a flight of stairs to get to the unit. So when we moved in, we drove our suitcases up to the elevator and carried them down the hallway and short flight of stairs. Same with big grocery trips. So just be aware, can not get to this unit with out some stairs.

Owner was awesome and responded immediately to every question or issue. Definitely was concerned that we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

This apartment is spacious, clean, has everything you could possibly need with a view of the beach across the road. Nice large deck, big enough for entertaining if you had friends over. Amenities include a large saltwater pool, spa, barbecues and two car parking for each unit.

This condo with ocean view,across from sandy beach and with all the ammenities of home including a washer and drier provides a relaxing base to spend time on the big island . There's nothing better than sitting on the lanai sipping a cup of coffee while doing a little whale watching or sipping a cold drink by the pool. Owner provides nearby dinning reccomndations and has outfitted the condo with everything you could possibly need from spices to beach towels and laundry detergent

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The unit has all the amenities you need for cooking as well as beach accessories, and it the best located on the complex, wrap around lanai with sun all day and sunset views at night.

The unit is dated and it is really starting to show. Sliding doors are difficult to close and lock, water pressure in both showers is low, washer and dryer is not efficient, electrical/lighting is confusing (after 2 weeks, we still couldn't figure out what half the light switches were for). There was the odd cockroach in the unit but one should expect this in a tropical location. The fruit flies in the kitchen were a mystery. We left nothing on the counters our whole trip and we continuously had to control them.

We recommend a vehicle as it is several miles from most of the good shopping, eating, and sights.

The beach in front of our location is small, and by no means is the place to hang every day. The surf is rough, and there are lots of people in the water to bump into when
you want to boogie board.

Great place to stay! So many items available for use, from beach umbrellas and towels, to spices in the kitchen! Good location across from White Sands Beach, making for wonderful ocean view from the lanai. Also, just a few minutes into town and other shopping areas.
