Tropical Dream come true

This is one of the best vacation rentals we've ever stayed. The view is, of course, stunning. The condo is comfortable and very well appointed. Even though we did not utilize the concierge service, the staff was outstanding -- reaching out several times prior to departure to offer help, calling us shortly after our arrival to make sure all was well, and alerting us to events that could potentially impact our plans. Kudos to the staff!

1st trip to the Big Island

This place was very nice. My wife, 16 year old daughter and myself stayed here. It is a short 5 minute drive into town for great restaurants. Short 5 minute walk to The Poke Shack that has great food. Picture perfect setting right on the water with a great lania that we enjoyed each morning drinking our coffee. It was a little noisey as the windows are actually shutters with screens, no glass. The A/C worked great. Overall very nice and i would definately consider staying here again.

One of the best rentals I have stayed at!

This condo true to its listing. The decor was wonderful and the inside was very clean. We appreciated all the extras that came with the space (beach toys, chairs, kitchen extras, umbrellas, bags, coolers, etc) it was all here and we didn't need to worry about it. There were plenty of fans in the condo to help keep us cool when needed, otherwise we did not miss having the AC at all. The beach waves helped drown out any street or neighbor noise, which we loved. The condo was close and convenient to everything along the coast and we would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay. It was very clean and had everything we needed. It’s close to restaurants and shops. Beautiful view. We loved sitting on the deck looking out at the ocean while having coffee in the morning or wine in the evening. You can watch both the sunrise and the sunset. Highly recommend this place if you are staying in Kona.

Amazing views!!

We had a great time and the property was spacious and had everything we needed. The views were absolutely stunning! We enjoyed the pool and walking down by the rocks and beach area. It was nice to have the air conditioning units but we didn't have to use them a lot. The condo (especially the window screens) could have been cleaner but I would still recommend staying here.

Wonderful Oceanside Condo

Pros: We spent 2 weeks here and loved the location and open air feeling of the unit. The lanai was absolutely perfect! Kona Coast was very helpful and responsive Cons: Unit could use a refresh. Couch saggy and uncomfortable rugs are dirty Need to provide a mop and simple cleaning supplies Needs better beach chairs (Tommy Bahama) Still....the lanai and oceanside location trumps all!

2 negatives

The only two complaints I had with the property and they might sound silly but: 1- very loud from the ocean. I was aware of the ocean noise but the walls of the condo are pretty much open other than louvers to block the sound. 2- No barbecue on the property. Kind of a let down but I should have asked.

The Views!!!

My wife, mother-in-law and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Holualoa. While at the property, we spent the majority of our time on the spacious lanai/patio overlooking the water (gorgeous and tranquil with the waves crashing against the rocky shore). The property description was on point, check-in/checkout was straightforward and the single parking space is spacious/covered and in a garage connected to the property. Our only issue was that one of the AC units in one of the bedrooms was on the fritz. Kona Coast Property Mgmt provided us with a mobile unit the following day, and that did the trick. Speaking of which, I would highly advise adding the optional air conditioning (at least during the time of year for our stay: August). It was warm late into the evening, but that is to be expected that time of the year in Kona. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Love Kona!

Overall stay was great. Some small things made it to my attention as I took my elderly parents to visit the island for the last time possibly. Couch was completely wore out or broke or both. We would slide right off the cushions because it was so deformed from the hide a bed inside and most likely being old. Other than that it was what I expected. The pictures were taken freshly after a remodel whenever that was. Must have been a while ago. Somewhere along the way we have lost the pay it forward as there was nothing in the cupboards as for spices, syrup, soups, unopened chips or anything in the fridge as for leftover Waters or other things that do not spoil. I miss that! You basically have to grocery shop and what's left over at the end of your stay throw out. No aloha in that..... is there? Don't get me wrong we had a wonderful time as always. We consider Kona our second home!

Mesmerizing !

One of 6 condo units, 2nd floor, unobstructed ocean view barely 40' from the surf, which is mesmerizing over coffee at first light or with a glass of wine as the sun slips over the horizon, and soothing all through the night. The style is vaguely Asian, louvered windows, lots of wood. This kitchen is not quite as slick as it appears in the web photos, but more than adequate. Beds are comfortable, plenty of towels, storage adequate, Shower water pressure is weak, but that seems to be true all over the big island. About 10 minutes south of Kona center, quiet but close to the action. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Beautiful View!

You can’t beat the view at this location. The condo stayed cool with plenty of windows and fans. Check out was a little difficult with our code being turned off hours before checkout. Luckily we had a phone with us so we could call to get another code, but it cancelled right away too so we had to just make sure someone was inside all of the time while loading our car.
