Our stay was excellent at this wonderful property. The ocean view on the spacious lanai was gorgeous...we took advantage of relaxing there every afternoon. The condo was well-equipped and very comfortable and quiet. The location was excellent in terms of being near the town, beaches, and points of interest. Parking was easy. We will definitely come back again and would highly recommend it to others.

We loved our stay. The condo was clean, roomy and fully equipped. The view from the lanai of the ocean and adjacent beach are fantastic. The sunsets from the lanai are incredible including a few GREEN FLASHES. We observed several pods of dolphins daily. The parking is convenient and secure. The property location is perfect. Loved walking into town for great cocktails and great food. Short drive to Magic Sands and “Snorkel” beaches. Even “Two-Step” is only about 30 minutes away. We will stay again when available. Thank you Jim and Nancy for making your wonderful unit available.

The location of this condo is amazing. It's quiet but very convenient walking to downtown shops and restaurants. The views of Honi Beach from the lanai, the kitchen and both bedrooms is very special. In fact, I can't imagine a better beachfront view on the island. From this location there are short scenic drives to a variety of beaches, lush tropical roadways and historical sites. Jim is a woderful host with great communication and offers so many tips on local spots to visit and always letting you know he is available if you have any concerns or questions. He's made sure that the condo is well supplied with bath towels, clean sheets and plenty of beach gear. The kitchen is adequate with everything you need to prepare a meal. Jim has staged the lanai with a dining table and my favorite, the lounge chairs.Our favorite restaurants in town were Huggo's evening dining room and Huggo's On The Rocks, both easy 5 minute walks from the condo.. There are many restaurants to choose from but we found these so convenient and they offer a nice selection of food and beverages. Many of the servers were friendly and chatty adding to the experience. Being beachfront the condo has some challenges such as wear and tear from the weather but that is far out weighed by everything else it offers. If you want high end amenities and stylish new furniture go to a resort but you'll miss out on this great location and all the comfort it offers. We loved it!

The view, the view the view and the sound of waves, the best therapy. Sitting on the lanai was my favorite part of my stay. Easy parking, a few short stairs, but easy to get to the unit. Location was great, walkable to restaurants/shops, short ten minute drive to White Sands beach. Host was very helpful and made sure everything was in order.

The condo was perfect - everything I needed was supplied.The master bed was sooo comfortable that I asked the host for the brand and model of the mattress!Parking onsite was easy and traffic only snarled when there was road maintenance. Local online news shows daily road impairments, so it was so easy to navigate around congestion. Mahalo nui loa for an unforgettable stay! I’ll be returning once again, soon!!

Amazing sunsets and walking distance to great restaurants

The four of us had a wonderful 6 night stay. Jim was a great communicator and easy to reach with our questions. The condo had everything we needed and more. The views are absolutely amazing. The condo is just a little dated but it’s clean, comfortable and very affordable for what you get. We’ve stayed at several units in Kona and this is for sure our new favorite.

CLEAN, super HOST, beach view from EVERY ROOM & BALCONY!! If u’ve ever been to Hawaii u know how important AC Fans are. This unit has AC Fans in EVERY ROOM….Fan even on balcony!!…where we spent most of our time…beach to left, surfers/ships/canoes in front of u. Owners have thought of ALL your needs and it’s there….open a drawer/cupboard inside and outside/balcony is a chest full of beach stuff!! Beach Towels!! Our daughter-in-law did her first snorkeling at Honl’s Beach (we watched her from balcony)…thanks to equipment there!! Beach chairs, matts, Boogie boards, beach umbrellas . Fully equipped kitchen. We will be REPEAT customers!! I have found the perfect place to enjoy coming HOME…and owner is easily assessable for any questions.

Host profile image
My wife and I live in Los Angeles. About 18 years ago we fell in love with Kona. We purchased our condo in 2001 and spend as much time there as possible. It really is our home away from home and we enjoy sharing it with others. The location is great.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to be as close to the ocean as possible, we love the Kona Reef and the little town of Kona, which is just a 10 minute walk to the center of town from our condo..

What makes this property unique

We never miss watching the amazing sunsets from our lanai. The dolphins put on a show for us every day and the whale season is really exciting. Kona is a very special place and has something for everyone.
