We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this place. The location was very convenient and the house itself was clean, organized, and calming. The owner was also very accessible and accommodating.

The location was great, the condo was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Our children were comfortable and the location was conveniently located close to many amenities. It was fully stocked with great household items and recreational water gear for us to use. We highly recommend this location for your stay. One note is there is no direct beach access at this property however plenty of areas to find near by.

This property was lovely, great location, and so clean! The host could have not been more helpful and kind! Highly recommend!

We stayed here for 4 days in June and loved many things about this property. The condo is very modern and updated-- it feels like a luxury home. There is a lot of space to spread out with two large bathrooms, a big indoor and outdoor living space and a decent sized kitchen. Check in was easy and parking was close by the entrance, as was the pool and nearest beaches (Kahaluu [great snorkeling] and Keauhou [good for water activities]). Also, it is close to a couple of restaurants and grocery stores. We found it a great base for exploring south Kona. The host of this property is kind and thoughtful. The kitchen has a coffee and espresso maker, many spices and the host left a few drinks and snacks for us to get us started, which was great, since we arrived at the property late on the first night. Also, the host offers the use of his extensive water recreation tools (snorkels, SUPs, surfboards, floats). The grounds around the property are well maintained, but be aware that when they spray for bugs, they can get in the back bathroom. We woke up one morning to a bunch of dead gnats in the bathroom -- it wasn't a huge deal, but surprising/unnerving if you aren't expecting it. We would 100% stay here again and felt lucky to have found it!

This place met our expectations in every way. It had everything we could ask for. Air-conditioning worked well and we found it necessary. Ceiling fans everywhere helped too. Comfortable king beds, nice large sitting room sofa and TV, excellent internet. Greeted with a well-stocked minibar and snacks. We had access to every kind of toy you could want, the paddle boards and boogie boards were excellent. We asked for surf boards and they were delivered within an hour or two (our sons ended up not using them after all, but thanks John). We had access to two sets of golf clubs which were used on two days on the adjacent course which is beautiful. The owner's kindness and helpful communication made our stay all the more enjoyable. We will certainly stay here again when we visit the Big Island. We recommend this apartment without any reservation. You will be pleased you stayed here!

First off, great communication even prior to our arrival. John would reply within a couple of hours and would answer all the questions plus more. He was very accomodating with some of the changes on our end. The place was awesome, kitchen was well equipped and I didn't even realize until the day I left that the oven was also an air fryer which is a bonus. The rooms were clean and having the laundry (with all the detergent and cleaning agents provided as well) within the unit was very convenient. All the rooms had AC and they all worked perfectly. The outdoor space was great and the BBQ they had made cooking for a big group (5 adults) super easy and convenient. All the included water sport equipment that was stored in the closet made the trip even more enjoyable. It was as easy as loading it into the car and then bringing that to the beach to use and they were all in very good condition. One of the stand up paddleboard pump didn't work but because they were two SUP we just used the one pump for the two boards. I highly recommend booking this place and I would not hesitate to book this place again for my next Kona visit!

What an amazing place! We found this hidden gem on VRBO and in every way, shape and form, it did not disappoint! Thank you to John and his wife for opening up their beautiful home. John was very quick and responsive to all my inquiries about the place. Even our teenager loved the place and all that it had to offer, that says it all! The owners were very flexible with our request to drop off our bags a little early and that was very much appreciated! From the moment we stepped foot inside we knew that this was the perfect spot for our family of three for our 7-day vacation back to the Big Island! The area is safe and easily accessible to the shops and restaurants on the island and parking was a big plus too! Everything we needed was only a drive a way not to mention an awesome Japanese restaurant called Kenichi Restaurant that was less than five minutes away. The neighbors were friendly with their hellos and friendly waves and access to the pool was quite nice. This home is beautiful, modern, private, very clean and extremely well kept with strong emphasis on the latter. The kitchen is very well stocked and the use of the beach chairs, snorkel gear, cooler, water equipment et. al come in handy! The living space has a lot of natural light and both bedrooms were good sizes. The rain shower and spa inspired theme bathroom was all I needed at the end of the day. The pictures online definitely don’t do this rental any justice. We are so sad that it’s our last night here but without a doubt, we will definitely keep this place in mind for our future visits to the Island. We would highly recommend this place to others, hands down! Mahalo to the owners for helping make our vacation and Spring break for the teen a memorable one.

From start to finish the process of renting with John was a pleasure. He is quick to respond and even bought special gear that would fit our children. The condo itself is exactly as the pictures show. Large, renovated, clean and beautiful. We didn't want to leave. All of the watersports and beach gear were in perfect condition and couldn't have asked for anymore. So handy to have everything we could want from surfboards, paddle boards, kayak, golf clubs, beach chairs, blanket, towels, boogie boards, snorkel gear and cooler with containers and ice packs and even aloe for our sunburns! He thought of every detail! The two king size beds are so comfortable, the bathrooms are large and well stocked. The washer and dryer were so convenient to have for a longer stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with all cookware you could ever need. The lanai is huge with double doors, new patio set and outdoor furniture is so comfortable. We enjoyed our dinners and nights outside. The condo grounds are beautiful. It is a very quiet building with a beautiful pool as well. We had a few quick swims here too. We would return to John's condo in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!!

We had an Incredible experience while in Kona. The condo is centrally located and has all the amenities anyone could hope for during a vacation. The View restaurant at the Country Club is a hidden gem of a restaurant. Great live Hawaiian music, an incredible view and awesome food. We even had the pleasure of watching some locals dance.

I was attracted to this condo because I could envision myself having coffee every morning on the patio sitting on the comfortable furniture, and that's exactly what we did every day. We also dined al fresco and watched the sunset on the evenings we were not elsewhere. Indoor areas are clean, newly updated, and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. When we asked for a blender, it was delivered within a couple of hours (a Vitamix!). Everything we needed for our daily trips to different beaches was available as well: plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, an umbrella, snorkeling gear, and more. We used the cooler on a daily basis as well. There's also filtered water and an ice maker. No need to buy wasteful and expensive plastic water bottles. There is a nearby grocery store and the Outrigger is a short walk with a Wednesday farmer's/artisan's market. We got drinks from the Outrigger's bar and walked over to their (free) manta ray viewing area several times. A seafood vendor sets up several times a week near the grocery store and we got fresh fish caught the same day as well as shrimp cocktail and poke from her. Just a few minutes south are the best fish tacos on the island at Shaka Tacoz! I would definitely book this condo again as my homebase in paradise.
