We loved our stay at this condo! The view of the ocean was spectacular and we enjoyed sleeping to the sounds of the ocean at night. The unit was well furnished and had plenty of beach gear to use. We hope to be back again!
This is a great place to stay!! You can’t beat the views, property was clean, and close to anything you need. The extra beach gear was awesome to have, and the kitchen is well equipped. We cooked in 4 of the nights we stayed here. We would definitely stay here again!
The unit is spacious, has great view of the ocean and has all the gears you need for the beach, amenities on site are good (pool, BBQ) and location is great. Communication with the staff is great and they responded quickly to maintenance request.
My only complaint is that the master bathroom needs some work, it’s dated and the shower curtain is too short so that water spill all over, we ended up all using the other bathroom for shower.
We loved our stay. The condos and grounds were beautiful and clean. The ocean views were to die for. My only complaint was that the dishwasher did not work. We ran it twice and the dishes looked same as they did going in (we rinsed them all). I called and was told someone would come that day. Nobody showed up and I had to do dishes for 6 people during my vacation.
Aloha Julie, the state of our properties is very important to us as we aim to provide our guests with a quality stay and outstanding service. We appreciate you taking the time to share your review with us and do sincerely apologize that we dropped the ball with the dishwasher.
It has been a pleasure to have you as our guest. We hope that you will consider giving us another opportunity to serve you in the future and deliver you a problem free stay.
Lovely condo, as advertised in the photos. Not having A/C was a concern at first, but the deck faces NW and has a drop down screen so it was shaded almost the entire day and it stayed cool. We lived on the deck - ate all of our meals there, played cards in the evening, and enjoyed the breeze and the view, including sunsets and dolphins. Beds were comfortable and property owners very responsive when we had a few small issues (broken fan, light bulbs out.)
The location and view were great.The condition of the condo was adequate. I booked it knowing that there was no air conditioning and thought that would be fine. I was wrong. It was hotter than normal due to low trade winds and the rooms were 95 degrees in the afternoon. The pool was also very warm and was not the needed escape from the heat. Next time I come to Hawaii I will look for a place with AC.
Appears stairs remodel was not completed and some funky temporary covering that was not secured was put in place. Dangerous walking down stairs. The unit is good otherwise. Kitchen well stocked. View is fabulous. You must like the sound of pounding surf is right there-you get used to it. Plenty of fans so really no issue with no A/C. Floors needed a much better cleaning. Great pool and BBQ setting.
Aloha Tom,
Thank you for providing feedback regarding your stay.
We have work scheduled for the stairs to be rebuilt after the black out season is completed.
We will speak with our team regarding your concerns regarding the floors.

Aloha Greg,
We apologize this home did not meet your expectations.
This home DOES NOT have AC advertised.
We have a disclaimer in our booking confirmation and rental agreement that is sent to our guests upon booking to double check amenities that they may require for their stay as many homes here in Hawaii do not have AC.
Mahalo,

The condo had everything we needed and then some. The location was close enough to walk to grab a bite to eat or do a little shopping. Having a lanai off the living room and primary bedroom overlooking the ocean was wonderful, and a great way to fall asleep and wake up! The last afternoon of our trip we saw some whales while sitting on the lanai downstairs and quickly went upstairs so we could get a better view and it was amazing - we were able to watch multiple whales for hours! The grills and seating areas are right next to the condo as well as the pool and we utilized all of it. No having air conditioning was not an issue for us. The other convenient feature was the washer and dryer, this was the second half of our trip and knowing that the unit had a washer/dryer helped us to not overpack. We would absolutely stay here again!
Family very much enjoyed our stay. Some of the permanent residents at Sea Village were not that friendly. I couldn't imagine living in paradise and taking it for granted. The pool area does have some extremely ridiculous rules.... i.e. no marco polo?..... this would definitely be a great stay for an older couple. No laundry to be used between 9pm-8am which is difficult as we were out exploring the island most of the days. Quite time / pool closes at 9pm and kids were scolded prior to that for playing "loudly" at the pool. All in all we enjoyed our stay. Our family personally wouldn't stay here again. Kona Coast Vacations however were extremely helpful with everything we needed!
Aloha! We are so glad to hear your family enjoyed their stay. We are so sorry to hear that some of the neighbors were less than friendly.
When you are getting ready to plan your next visit, definitely reach out to our staff for recommendations of units that may be a little more family friendly.
Hope to see you soon!
Aside from seeing an erupting volcano, this condo was our kids' favorite part of the Big Island. The views from the two lanais were gorgeous, and as beautiful as they look in the photos. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was supplied with all the dishes, pots, and pans you could need, and the larger property is lushly landscaped with a very nice pool. There is no a/c, but there are ample fans in all of the rooms. With fans on and windows open (there are screens), we were quite comfortable sleeping. Listening to the surf at night was so soothing.
Communication was very good. When the unit was ready early, they called us while we were still collecting our bags at the airport to let us know that we could check in early, if we wished.
It was a lovely stay, and we would book it again and recommend it to our friends.
As with most older properties, the exterior of the building is showing some wear and age, but is kept up very well. The grounds are nicely landscaped and maintained.
This condo was clean and very well equipped. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed to get us started for our week of vacation. Plenty of beach gear and towels as well. Being an end unit, there were plenty of windows to open to take advantage of island breezes, and with the shades lowered in the mid-afternoon, the unit keep quite cool with just breezes and fan. It also felt quite private and quiet despite proximity to the pool and all those windows. Geographic location also quite nice, given convenience to downtown Kona and oceanfront placement.
The layout is a little funky with a few tighter than ideal spaces, but overall worked well for our needs. The furniture is showing its age, but was reasonably comfortable. The beds were a little on the firm side, without being super supportive, and the upstairs master bedroom floor creaks a bit. These are all really minor concerns, and are definitely the worst things I can say about this property.
All in all, it is an excellent place with absolutely killer views all around and a wonderful place to spend a week.
Additionally, the concierge and the property management were both extremely easy to work with, and were very accommodating.
Two thumbs way up for this one. Will rebook here!
The property was even better than the pictures show! The lanai on both floors overlooking the ocean was amazing. Most of our time was spent looking at the ocean and we even spotted whales one morning. It was just my husband and I but there was a second bedroom big enough for two more people or children if you have a family. The unit is immaculately clean and well cared for as is the entire property. Communications with Kona Coast was always prompt and informative. We would definitely recommend our friends and family stay there and especially 1101!
Was a nice place and stay. The pool area was very nice and clean. Seemed to have adequate and nice staff caring for the place. Would definitely stay again.
We spent a wonderful week at Sea Village in a waterfront unit. Loved the view and the sound of waves in a very comfortable unit right next to the pool. Looking forward to a return visit.
We had a wonderful restful experience. It is very close to the pool therefore there can be pros and cons to that but everything shuts down pretty early.
Some general maintenance things would be nice…screen door.
Definitely would book again
