  Stephanie's condo is on the 2nd floor and directly face the ocean, it's almost in the ocean!! Starting every day of our vacation watching the surfers while enjoying local fresh fruits on the Lani was exactly what we hoped for. The sound of the surf crashing was very relaxing and soothing at night. The unit is well maintained, fully equipment and meets every aspect of our needs. We are very happy with this clean and very comfortable place. The location of the condo is very convenient, only two blocks walk into the town of Kialua-Kona which has a bunch resturants and coffee shops. I was worried about the parking when i saw the previous review, but actully it was not a problem at all. There was enough parking spots in the property, we can easliy find a parking even if we got back super late. Stephanie is very friendly and easy to work with. We love this place and return again next year.

  We could not have enjoyed this terrific one-bedroom condo more. It is very nicely furnished and colorful, with an efficient kitchen and cozy living room, all pictured well in the photos we looked at prior to making our reservation. One of our favorite places to relax was on the lanai, which has chairs that are high enough to see over the balcony railing, a huge plus. It was a fabulous place to eat a meal, read, or just watch the ocean with a great view. The owners are very organized with information regarding things to see and do, plus how-to for the condo appliances and equipment, keys, etc. The location is excellent with many restaurants and shops nearby within walking distance. Also, many activities are available in close proximity so it's easy to find something fun to do without necessarily driving a long distance. We will absolutely return to this great place many more times in the future and recommend it to anyone wanting a romantic get-away or a super vacation for two.

  The listing photos & description of the unit was accurate. The property is well maintained and clean. We saw whales from the lanai & turtles on the beach. Very good location; close to restuarants & shopping. Parking can be interesting as no assigned spaces. We stayed 7 nights.

  You can't beat the views from the lanai at this condo. We bailed on going out for umbrella drinks every night just because the lanai offered such a stellar view of sunsets. Our own happy hour was better. We also ate breakfast on it and sometimes lunch and dinner. Fun to watch net anglers, turtles, boogie boarders, paddleboarders, outriggers, parasailers, cruise ships, and sailboats parade by.Being right on the beach was fabulous. Due to its location, we took only a few trips elsewhere; it was so enjoyable just to lounge around the condo. The owners are absolutely conscientious. When we arrived, the condo was not ready, due to a miscommunication with the cleaning girl. But the owners got on it immediately, and it was soon ready for us. They also helped us out with getting the Internet to function when the password wouldn't work. We also loved the pool, hot tub, and barbecue cabana area. Very clean! Usually we had the pool and hot tub to ourselves from 8-10 in the morning, and we loved barbecuing on grills that someone else cleaned. The condo sits two blocks via a back road walk from the Kona strip shopping area, so we could pop to the farmer's market, bakery, and ABC store and enjoyed morning walks down to the Ironman swimming start. Nice to have beach chairs, coolers, and beach towels to use, too.

  My wife and I stayed at Stephanie's condo over the Labor Day Holiday. The condo was immaculate! We enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the waves (if you leave the patio doors open, or you can close for silence if you prefer). The bed was super comfortable, the kitchen had all of the necessities and the porch overlooking the ocean was absolutely peaceful. It was a perfect walking distance to downtown Kona as well, with plenty of restaurants and shops. Stephanie was more than accommodating with any requests or questions we had. I would highly recommend this condo and plan to return in the future!

  We arrived after 9PM, but found our way into the condo without a problem. We found it ready to go, clean and ready for our arrival. It was even better than discribed as it sits right on the ocean front with views of cruise ship arrivals, surfers, para sailers, outrigger canoes, dolphins, party boats, paddlers, and many other things to make you want to spend time in the Lanai. We found it only minutes to all the activity on Alii street, and Kailua town. Shops, restruants, and water activities withing walking distance. We found everything we needed in the condo, including a washer-dryer, air conditioning, cable TV, iron, well laid out kitchen with all the pans and utensils needed. The owners seemed to have thought of everything. All the restruants we tried were great, so we picked them according to the view they provided of Kailua Harbor and downtown activities. We liked the Island Breeze Luau, and the Atlantis Submarine. Hapuna Beach was the best, and try Waimea to cool off. Akaka Falls and the Volcano are a must on first time visit. The farmers market in town should be the first stop before you buy souveniers any where else for its great local selections and prices. Once a month they close Alii Drive in town and have a big market day so check to see if it falls on a day you are there. We were fortunate enough to stay almost a month and found it very hard to leave. We would totally recommend this particular condo to our friends.

  Having rented this condo for a number of years, we have a feeling of 'coming home' each time we arrive from the Mainland. This second-floor unit is always clean and welcoming, well-furnished, with a new refrigerator and washer/drier this year. Ample supply of dishes and utensils in the kitchen, with unobstructed ocean view while cooking. Lanai is perfect for eating all our meals, whale watching, reading, watching ocean activities, and especially the glorious sunsets. It is just a short walk to restaurants, shops, church, and the Farmer's Market. We've really enjoyed our relaxing visits here.

  We have rented this condo several years in a row--we just keep going back. New mattress, new washer and dryer--really nice--new refrigerator, two flat screen TV's--one in living room and one in bedroom. Even brand new vacuum! Condo is on second floor--can't ask for a better view and in the right building of Kona Reef. Really nice unit and nice people to rent from. Condo is walkable to just about everything in Kailua Kona--to restaurants, the "Village", etc. and has covered parking. Close to grocery stores, Walmart, etc. The pool is really nice and 4 barbeques and while you barbeque, you can sit and look at the ocean. What a view from the patio when the cruise ship comes in!--awesome. The condo is always clean when we walk in the door! We recommend this unit.
