We just finished a one week stay at Hee and James' condo. My wife and I were traveling with our two children - both in their mid-twenties. Everyone loved this unit!
Location - Directly across the street is a park which offers beach, snorkeling, and a bit of surfing. Perhaps a half mile away is a shopping center. The south end of Ali'i Drive is perhaps 2 miles south and there you can park and walk along the undeveloped coastline.
Pretrip info - Before we arrived Hee and James sent complete information about accessing the unit, things to do, etc. They were very responsive to the few questions I had.
On arrival Britt, their property manager, was there to answer any questions and to be sure everything was good. We found the unit to be VERY clean and well-equipped. We hit Costco on the way into town and found the kitchen had everything we needed for a week of cooking. We have vacationed in Hawaii perhaps 10 times and this is the first unit that had a reverse osmosis drinking water supply. If you've been to Hawaii, too, you'll know how nice that is!
The unit was also well supplied with masks, snorkels, a boogie board, a brand new gas grill available near the pool and (during our stay at least) plenty of parking places. The WiFi worked all the time and easily handled all of us online at the same time.

This is a fabulous condo to stay at while in Kona! The location is excellent as it sits right across the street from Kahalu'u Beach Park. It is also a nice location to access other great snorkeling spots while on the Big Island. The owners are very easy to work with and incredibly helpful. They answered any email I sent them within a few hours and more thoroughly than I expected. The condo is well stocked with any kitchen and beach item I could have wanted. I would definitely stay here again! Also the sunset view from the lanai is fantastic!
This property was amazing. The owners and property manager were so easy to work with, so helpful and friendly. The view from the 3rd floor overlooking the ocean was so relaxing--we ate every meal at the table on the balcony. The snorkeling right across the street was some of the best on the island. The pool and barbecue facilities were great. The condo itself was clean, well stocked (beach accessories included), and comfortable. We loved it and would stay there again in a second.
We really enjoyed our stay in Kona. The location of the apartment is convenient with an amazing snorkeling beach at walking distance and shops near by. The view from the place is also amazing. You will love your stay here.
Location .... Location.....Location. This was just perfect for us. All kinds of water equipment available. Well stocked kitchen.
We got in trouble with our car rental but low and beholded we end up renting a car from the manager for a very good price which was a very good deal. We felt like we hit the lotto with all the benefits we had staying at this condo.
In short...it was sweet!

This is a wonderful condo and location on the Big Island! The complex is new, quiet and the pool is beautiful! The elevator makes getting to the condo a snap. There is a very nice shopping center a few minutes away with a full grocery store, restaurants, medical facilities and movie theater. Very convenient!
The condo itself is just perfect with high end finishes and furnishings. The beds are wonderful! The owner's and onsite manager are a joy to work with. Every part of our experience- from booking, to checking in, making a wi-fi connection, checking out, and getting our security deposit back was smooth and easy. We stayed in three condos in various locations during our time on the island. The other two cannot compare to the quality and service of this one. Within two days of checkin out, we had an email informing us that our security deposit had been refunded. (We haven't heard anything from the other two condos yet.) This is an example of the level of excellence we experienced here. We will stay here again next time we visit the island.
We just returned from a wonderful visit to the Big Island. We appreciated being able to stay in James and Hee’s Beach Villa condo because it was in a perfect location to visit many areas of the island easily. James and Hee were friendly to work with via email and were always quick and helpful if I had a question. The condo was very clean and beautifully decorated, with plenty of space for our family to relax, along with having the kitchen tools we needed to use in the kitchen to prepare our meals.
The location was perfect for us to walk over each morning and snorkel at Kahalu’u Beach Park, which was a family favorite activity while on the island. We packed our own snorkel gear, but there were several sets in the closet available for use if we had needed them. Having other supplies available to us that we didn’t bring, like boogie boards and coolers, added to our fun on the island and allowed us to spend a day playing in the waves at Hapuna Beach. My daughters wanted to take surfing lessons while we were there and it was a great spot to learn because a surf shop with friendly instructors was just a short walk down the street.
We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to stay in this condo as it was affordable and a wonderful location. We would stay here again if we have a chance to return.
