This place was perfect, I was close to a wedding at the Outrigger without the Outrigger price! This was much more spacious than illustrated in photos, great space and ideal layout! The property was relaxing and quiet, and I loved the pool and balcony! Had to watch out for a few lizard friends trying to break in :). No issues, and great communication and recommendations from Stan! It would be a pleasure to stay here again!

Nice accommodations. Excellent communication with host. Amenities excellent. Disappointing that even with using the bug light in the dining area and bug spray on the lanai screen gnats, flies, moths, and mosquitos still got inside requiring constant cleaning. It was also confusing that the pool key was separate from the rest of the keys and instructions stating where it was were one sentence in the middle of a paragraph on the unit instructions.

Keauhou is a great area to stay. Very convenient to everything. The property is well maintained and the pool is great. The lanai makes this rental amazing. Coffee in the morning with a view and sunset viewing at night. Just wonderful. Our property manager, Steve, was the best. I have never had a better manager than him. Made our stay very easy.

excellent stay

Communication with Stan was excellent and he called me even before we arrived and sent us precise instructions. House was exactly as described. Kitchen utensils were sufficient for us even to cook. Very friendly neighbors. One night we ran into a small plumbing emergency and local property manager Tom immediately responded and arranged a plumber first thing next morning. A short distance to beach. Overall we were very satisfied with the stay.

Perfect stay!!

Loved staying at the Condo here with my wife and 2 year old. It was clean and comfortable and a short drive to everything. A nice kitchen and grill saved us a lot of $$$ on eating out too! It was also nice to have access to beach chairs, boogie boards (and there was snorkel equipment that we didn’t use because my wife hates fish, LOL) The condo is pretty old-school Hawaii. If you’re looking for something super modern you might want to keep going, but it was spacious, had a great view and was a great value for us. I called the owner begging for an extra 2 days if we changed our flights, but they were already booked! Mahalo!

My 4 friends and I stayed here for 14 days, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The price, the location, and condo are really great. The people in the surrounding condos are very nice, as is everyone in Hawaii. Stan was a great host, quick to reply and easy going. Kona is a gorgeous island, especially if you know good locations. Our group had local friends we could rely on. But most places you find to go online will be awesome too! Couldn’t recommend more! This condo has everything provided that you would need. Loved it!

Great condo

The condo was stocked with everything we could have needed. Watching the sunsets from the lanai every evening was the best part. Communication with Stan was great and easy. He was very helpful to help us plan our trip and answer any inquiries during our stay. The listing does mention there is two double sofa beds and one double bed but there are only two double sofa beds. They aren’t the comfiest beds, but it did the trick for our vacation. We were glad we read the other reviews and brought ear plugs with us… those frogs are REALLY loud. Overall, we really enjoy staying here, Stan was a pleasure to deal with and we would stay again.

pleasant except road noise

keep in mind most condos in Kona are older. This is no exception. But, It is well maintained. We had a pleasant stay except for road noise. It was hot and humid during early November 2023. We had to keep windows open all night for it to cool off. Road noise from Alii Highway was excessive in our mind. Great location to access Keauhou Bay.

Clean, well-equipped,comfortable.

As many people have mentioned, Stan is very through, prompt and reliable as a vacation rental owner. He also gave us extra information such as the nearest grocery shop. His condo manager showed up with a brand new rice cooker and a sponge! We really appreciated all the beach gears including parasols and snorkeling stuff. The bed was comfortable, and fans did a good job to keep the place cool at night. It was a perfect size for two adults and one child. Neighbors were quiet. Don’t be surprised at a natural alarm clock...birds sing loudly there!

Not as we expected

Although this condo is in a beautiful, quiet complex in a nice area, it is actually only a 1 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit. The other sleeping area is the living room, where a double sized sofa bed and a blow up mattress in the closet can accommodate sleeping 6, if people don’t mind sleeping together. There is only bedding for 2 beds. Don’t expect to bar b q on the balcony, as the bar b q burner shield is burnt through and the paint on the inside of the bar b q is actually peeling off onto your food. Other than the incorrect number of bedrooms, the condo is acceptable.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 21, 2023
Hello Lani, Thank you for the opportunity to see our need for improvements. The BBQ gas grill is not always used by our guests. During my last stay, I completed the bathroom remodel but only checked to see if the gas tank on the grill was at least half full. I neglected to do a thorough deep cleaning of the grill and for that I apologize. If you had contacted me during your stay, and informed us of this issue, I would have arranged for this to be corrected. In regards to our listing describing bedrooms and sleeping areas, we posted multiple photo angles detailing the separate 11' X 12' area with the fold-out bed being used and also tucked away would properly show prospective guests the true lay-out. We never would falsely describe amenities and that is why I added 5 additional photos of the second bedroom area, minus a partition wall. This would more properly be defined as a, "Sleeping Area". Previous guests with parties of 3, 4, 5 and sometimes 6 people have stayed at the condo but never felt we improperly advertised the actual number of bedrooms or sleeping areas. That is why we often email a floor plan in PDF to accurately describe what our guests are renting. For this misunderstanding, I sincerely apologize. I will immediately update the listing so their is no further confusion. When couples or 2 individuals have stayed at our home in the past, it was never a concern but since you brought this to our attention, it will be addressed. We want to earn the right to receive a 5 star review and extend an invitation for you and your spouse to return to our home in future. As a returning guest, I can arrange a personal and customized package for both of you. Again, thank you for the honest input. Sincerely, Stan

Location and Safety were Perfect.

The location was perfect to everything we needed and chose to do. Great snorkeling tours one block away. Farmers Market 5 minutes away. Everything was clean, enough pillows and sheets. Enough kitchenware, pots and pans (could use an extra skillet), plates, cups, etc. The outside Lanai with the view of the ocean and sunset were perfect. Pool is great. Supplies for snorkeling for kids was a nice bonus. If I had to suggest anything, I would say be prepared for the quite atmosphere, it's not really a place for young children to be noisy, but there are plenty of places to take them for the day. We were okay with respecting quite time, others might not be. I brought ear plugs because I am a light sleeper, there are tropical birds and frogs. Also, we had an interesting neighbor below (I guess a visitor) that yawned loudly all night and morning, not the property owners' fault, but again, was glad I brought my ear plugs. Loved that there was an inside and outside table. Plenty of beds, and seating area. Loved that there was a washer and dryer in the condo. There were two showers, but only one got real warm water. I would recommend the place to friends and family. Owner was great about texting, calls and emails.

Housecleaning staff reported abuse of the property, destroyed linens, food, juice spilled throughout the condo. (1 toddler +1 small child) allowed to run amok, scattering food and debris. Bathroom mats stained, towels used to wipe up coffee spills on floor and furniture. Used diaper bag left in bathroom, smell of feces and urine, sand on bedding, floors, pictures tell it all. Accused our local cleaning staff of "scamming". Disrespectful of Hawaiian culture and how hard local islanders work to provide clean accommodations for visitors. Large amounts of food left on plates & dishes then directly in the dishwasher; complained that dishes "were not getting clean". Stayed for 12 nights, expected us to restock, used up everything and replaced nothing. Utility bill was doubled!! This guest has another name when booking on other travel sites. Not all guests get 5 stars.
