Last night, hubby said, "I need to get a first class ticket to Hawaii." I told him he would be welcome...of course, he cannot go now...He rested and delighted in your condo while we, Mary, and my son, and family in unit 328 all went on adventures around the island evey day. Yes, we had a wonderful time, gone for three weeks...Hawaii, the big island, is the place to go. The other grandmother and I parasailed together. Mary was so terrified she could not sleep the night before. Of course, she loved it after lift off! We were on 800 feet line. The boat was a tiny thing way down there in the bay. Would like to tell you I was glad to get home, but, I did not want to leave Hawaii. Hubby stayed in your condo most of the time to just rest and let stress evaporate from his back. He is so hard to please, that is testimonial to your accommodations. It was glorious. The condo was pleasing and wonderful for our stay. Thank you so much for your warmth and understanding when I mailed my half of the stay to White Sands address instead of to your address...All went well...We did not cook at all. Enjoyed the terrace every morning with our coffee, watching the birds in the red/orange blooming Mimosa Trees. With the condo & terrace on 2nd floor(with handy elevator) we looked out at the birds on same level and so close to the exotic creatures I felt we were in the trees with the birds. I arose earlier than Hubby or Mary, sat on terrace alone, awaiting the exotic sounds that began 5:30-6:00a.m.I miss them still. I miss Hawaii and your very nice condo. The bed slept as good as home...A very big "Mahalo."

We stayed in this condo for 12 nights and we were extremely pleased with everything. Thank you Wanee for the fruit and other items you placced there for our comfort. This was very thoughtful.The condo itself is well furnished and very well kept. We had our grandchildren with us and they were plesed with the amount of space they had inside and the pool & tennis courts outside. White Sands Village property is well maintained and very quiet. We highly recommend this condo and property for those looking for a relaxing holiday.

Owner response:Thank you and we welcome you back any time.

Wanee, my wife and I stayed at your Kona condo in August and had an absolutely wonderful time. The place is absolutely beautiful. It was so quiet and peaceful! I loved how the location was in close proximity to all the major restaurants and shops on Ali'i Drive, yet it was 3-4 buildings away from this main road. It was really great how quiet it was here. It was also great being right across the street from Magic Sands Beach and Jameson's - the food there was great. We also really appreciated being able to use your boogie boards at Hapuna beach - the waves were awesome! We had an incredible vacation on the big island and would love to stay at your condo again if we ever return to Kona. Mahalo!

This is a beautiful condo. Very private. It is across from the beach, but removed from pool and other activities. We had a delightful stay and highly recommend it!

Wow! Wonderful! We had a fabulous time and we felt so comfortable and at home in your unit. You have made some beautiful enhancements. I felt like a princess sleeping in your big, soft, king size bed! As always, it was so quiet. We enjoyed the lanai each morning, drinking coffee and listening to the birds sing. And the weather was perfect each day- 7 solid days of sunshine, snorkeling and swimming. Thank you so much for sharing your slice of paradise with us! We are already talking about our next trip back..

Hello Wanee, We were truly blessed by staying in your comfortable and beautifully decorated home. You have supplied your home well with everything but the groceries! We have come to Kona for the past 3 years and have stayed in resorts but this was by far the best experience we've had yet! I liked the fact that you encouraged me to contact you through either email or phone if we had any questions about your place before we arrived. We were impressed that you asked for feedback from us after our stay which indicates that you want your guests to be as comfortable as possible. We liked the fact that you refunded our security deposit within a couple of days after we arrived home. The White Sands Beach across the street from your condo was the best beach for boogie boarding and snorkling. The Jameson Restaruant next to the beach had a lovely outside eating area with umbrella coverings. It was fun to watch the swimmers and boogie boarders from there. Their sandwiches were delicious! We will definately come back and have already passed your vrbo number to others who were impressed with what we had to say. Though I have to admit that I'm hoping that the word doesn't get out too much and squeeze us out of an opportunity to stay with you again! We will keep in touch, Karen

Hi Wanee, What a really nice home you have. Your condo was very nice - me and my sister had a great time. The location was great too. Also, just to let you know, the property manager was so nice as well, really gave us some good suggestions for touring the island. Thank you also for your voice mail regarding the deposit refund. I would definately consider staying at your condo if I ever visit the Big Island again. Not sure it would be any time soon because unfortunately the flight from NJ is so long, but definately worth it! Hope you are well and enjoying your summer. Thank you again. Lori
