Extraordinary!

Rachel and Jason have created a spectacular space with an exception view of one of the best snorkeling areas on the big island. The condo is in a quiet neighborhood, convenient distance to Kona or to 2 Step and easy to get the highway to Kīlauea. The condo is well equipped in the kitchen and also with things you might want for the beach. The bed was extremely comfortable. 5 Stars! Will be my choice of where to stay for my next trip to Kona.

Kahalu'u Paradise

This unit was well thought out, well equipped and the hosts were very easy to work with. We appreciated its proximity to Kahalu'u Bay and South Kona. The unit was nicely decorated and has a fantastic view to the bay. Our kids enjoyed the pool and the geckos that frequent the grounds. Many thanks to the hosts for sharing a dream spot with us!

Relaxing Stay at Surfing Turtle Kona

Excellent condo on the top floor overlooking Kahalu'u beach. Condo has all the beach and snorkeling gear you need. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking essentials. Lanai is great for meals, sunsets, and relaxation. Wonderful pool and hot tub to enjoy after a long day exploring this amazing island. Hosts Rachel and Jason were very responsive to any questions or needs we had. A heads up for older folks like us, no elevator, just three flights of stairs. Stayed two weeks, very much enjoyed our stay here and would return.

Perfect Getaway

Second time we’ve stayed at this property. We love the quieter end of Ali’i Drive. Located right across the street from excellent snorkeling at Kahalu’u Beach. Just a short drive up to Kailua-Kona shopping/restaurants, or south for shopping, dining, golf in Keauhou. And no review would be complete without mentioning the fact that Jason & Rachel are the best hosts ever! Kevin & Mary M

Great condo

100% as advertised. Clean, well maintained unit right across the street from terrific snorkling beach. Traffic is loud on Friday and Saturday nights and beach gardner starts the leaf blower at 7am every day however worth the tradeoff for location and quality of condo.

Best for Snorkelers!

This place is perfect if you want to snorkel. The closest place to the best snorkel spot on the island. The condo was super comfortable and clean, great for two people. Hosts super responsive, even purchased a yoga mat for me when I asked if the unit had one. Mattress is quite hard, lots of steps (no elevator) and, as others have mentioned, a lot of road noise and leaf blowers every morning. Overall, wonderful stay.

Can't wait to return!

If I were more selfish, I'd hesitate to say how lovely this home is because I wouldn't want it to be booked when we're ready for our next visit! But I can't say enough good things about this property and the wonderful hosts. Everything was clean and comfortable, & the unit was well-stocked with beach supplies (chairs & towels) and kitchen equipment. The location is also great with an easy walk to the beach with nice snorkeling and nearby dining options. The only thing negative I can think to say also a positive thing - a crew makes some noise with blowers around 7 am every day cleaning up the beach area across the street for a short time, so bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper like I am. But that's a very small price to pay for a well-kept beach. It was easy to reach the hosts when we had an issue resulting from some scheduled internet maintenance, and the problem was quickly resolved. We very much enjoyed our visit and look forward to staying there in the future!

30th Wedding Anniversary Getaway

This unit is everything that was promised and more! Extremely well decorated and maintained and it is obvious that the owners stay here as well. Very well stocked kitchen and we cooked in every night and had dinner on the beautiful lanai as we watched the sun set in the beach across from us. There is a busy and noisy road between the unit and the beach and it is very active around 7:00am, as other renters have mentioned, but we thought it was a small price to pay for such a great location. We traveled all over the island during our stay and this condo was very convenient. The second bathroom is a tremendous plus! We did have an issue with the A/C unit when we checked in. Contacted the owners and they were all over the issue and got it fixed promptly. This is truly an owner managed property, like the original VRBO, and you can tell the difference! Great snorkel spot right across the street that you can walk to and the owners have provided you with snorkel equipment, boogie boards, rash guards and a cooler. Just bring yourself! Loved every minute of our stay and would love to stay here again on our next visit😊

Perfect stay

This rental was perfection. Wonderful condo. Perfectly outfitted. Due to a food allergy, I cooked most meals at the condo…so having a well stocked kitchen is key. There were also beach towels, a cooler, and other beach and snorkeling gear. Directly across from one of the best snorkeling spots on the Big Island. Our hosts were phenomenal communicators. We will absolutely return to this magical place.
