Many guests describe the condos as clean and comfortable, though a few mention worn carpets or fixtures and less thorough cleaning in some areas. Guests also like the on-site pool and easy parking, and several praise the convenient restaurant and beach bar next door. Best for travelers who prioritize scenery and immediate beach time over hushed, hotel style serenity.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The room was good as expected from the pictures etc. You can watch some amazing sunsets from the window.It's also right by the Magic Grill, for which you get a 10% discount of food with your room key. They did great food and drink, which you can consume looking out over the beach/sea.Nothing else walking distance, but it's only a 10 minute drive/taxi to Kailua Kona.If you stay in for an evening there's a very basic kitchen and a modern TV so you can login to any major service like netflix, etc.Be aware the windows aren't very soundproof, so the sea is quite loud at night. If that's not your thing, definitely bring earplugs.

Basic accommodations (therefore affordable) with superb view to the ocean, very close to the beach. All one might need for the beach. All one might need for cooking. The property management is very helpful and ready to assist in all matters. I highly recommend it.

We had a great stay! The listing was very accurate and check-in was simple. The location is fantastic — being able to listen to the ocean at night and having direct ocean access was a real highlight. The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained, and we had no issues with bugs or outside noise. Parking was easy and convenient. The only small improvement would be cleanliness in the kitchen and main living area, which could have been a bit more thorough. Overall, we would definitely recommend this property to anyone staying in the Kona area!

We really enjoyed our stay. Clean condo with every amenity we could possibly need. Beach chairs, cooler, beach towels, snorkel equipment. Excellent location in between 2 beaches within walking distance. There is also a restaurant/bar attached to the condo building with great food and a local favorite to watch the sunset. We enjoyed watching the sunset from our condo view. Amazing! We saw whales and dolphins from our window also! Would highly recommend this place! Aloha!

Beautiful location, beautiful sandy beach access, great restaurant attached, great pool, clean grounds. Other than a minor "lock" issue initially, as well as the medicine cabinet rusting away, we loved staying there and would return. Would have loved to have the pretty white bedspread on the bed (like the photos listed) instead of the homely, older blue bedspread when we arrived.

The view was amazing, the beach next door was beautiful and there was plenty of beach gear provided to keep us occupied all week.

Only a one minute walk to magic sands beach, where we were lucky enough to swim with dolphins and spot sea turtles. The room had everything we needed and the bed was extra comfortable.

The only good thing about this property is the view. The walls are cracked. The carpet is stained. The curtains are ripped and falling apart. The floor has a definite slope in the middle. The pool is not in an open area to view the ocean and get a breeze. The "beach" was non existent! Perhaps a private owned vrbo is better maintained than with a property management company. Overall.....disappointed.

Rooms
Oceanfront views and the sound of waves are standout features, but light sleepers report noise from the sea and nearby street. Some units feel older, with sloping floors or less soundproof windows.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo has probably the best view of any place we\'ve stayed in. It was awesome to see spinner dolphins jumping and yellow tangs coming in on the surf in the morning--and right underneath us! Sunsets were magnificent and there was no need for us to go out to a view place for drinks. We bought ingredients for our drinks and enjoyed the view from our room. On the other hand, the condo could use some major updates. First, the bed (a small one for two people) sits on what used to be the balcony and the floor tips, thus making the bed tilt to the right side. One of us used the hide-a-bed, which felt, well, like a hide-a-bed with about 30 years of wear. Second, there is no air conditioning. We were there in February, and even then it was warm and stuffy without the windows open. There are louvered windows above the door and in the bathroom to let in air. Unfortunately, they also let in noise (even when closed). And noise there was! The condo fronts on a main 2-lane street and seems to be a thoroughfare for trucks and "hot cars" with no mufflers. Many are headed to next-door Magic Sands Beach, which is popular with surfers, b. boarders and people who want to loudly socialize day and night. In the early morning the landscape people start their blowers (right after 7 am). There is a restaurant with decent food and a beach bar next-door as well. Note there are three stories and no elevators. Recommended, but only for the view!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The building is older and the floor slopes where it seems they made the lanai into a bed nook. Perfect sunsets and rainbows, crashing waves. There's a snorkeling beach next door and better one a couple of miles away. Very fully furnished kitchen. TKA Grocery store nearby with very fresh poke and produce. Snorkel gear, beach chair and umbrella were very useful. Would definitely stay here again.

The property is right next to a small sandy beach which is nice. In the condo with all the doors closed you can hear the waves crashing so it was hard to sleep for a light sleeper.

Having the ocean right smack infront of the condo was amazing! Did not spend any time in the area of the condo as we toured all over the island. Was centerally located for all directions. Great to wake up to the ocean and fall asleep with the sound of the waves!

We have stayed at this property in the past. You can not beat the location. We washed whales from our couch! This apt was the nicest one we have stayed in! It’s light and bright. Clean, comfortable. We will be back!

Crashing waves just 50 feet from the bed with a wide open window wall was great.

Basic accommodations (therefore affordable) with superb view to the ocean, very close to the beach. All one might need for the beach. All one might need for cooking. The property management is very helpful and ready to assist in all matters. I highly recommend it.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful ocean front view overlooking magic sands beach. Only a one minute walk to magic sands beach, where we were lucky enough to swim with dolphins and spot sea turtles. The room had everything we needed and the bed was extra comfortable. I would stay again here in a heart beat and recommend this to anyone coming to Kona

We had a great stay! The listing was very accurate and check-in was simple. The location is fantastic — being able to listen to the ocean at night and having direct ocean access was a real highlight. The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained, and we had no issues with bugs or outside noise. Parking was easy and convenient. The only small improvement would be cleanliness in the kitchen and main living area, which could have been a bit more thorough. Overall, we would definitely recommend this property to anyone staying in the Kona area!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The room was good as expected from the pictures etc. You can watch some amazing sunsets from the window.It's also right by the Magic Grill, for which you get a 10% discount of food with your room key. They did great food and drink, which you can consume looking out over the beach/sea.Nothing else walking distance, but it's only a 10 minute drive/taxi to Kailua Kona.If you stay in for an evening there's a very basic kitchen and a modern TV so you can login to any major service like netflix, etc.Be aware the windows aren't very soundproof, so the sea is quite loud at night. If that's not your thing, definitely bring earplugs.

We really enjoyed our stay. Clean condo with every amenity we could possibly need. Beach chairs, cooler, beach towels, snorkel equipment. Excellent location in between 2 beaches within walking distance. There is also a restaurant/bar attached to the condo building with great food and a local favorite to watch the sunset. We enjoyed watching the sunset from our condo view. Amazing! We saw whales and dolphins from our window also! Would highly recommend this place! Aloha!

Having the ocean right smack infront of the condo was amazing! Did not spend any time in the area of the condo as we toured all over the island. Was centerally located for all directions. Great to wake up to the ocean and fall asleep with the sound of the waves!

It appears that the road in front of the apartment building is a thorough fair. We did not know that the traffic never stopped. Neither did the noise in addition to that across the street or parking lots evidently for the restaurant and for people using the beach I’m not sure which, it appears that base music in cars is still popular in Hawaii and they are there all day every day I had to walk across the street to beg them to please turn the base on the radios down. We would never have rented there if we would have known, there was a party lot across the street. I think it’s unfair. You don’t tell people people about it.

Beautiful location, beautiful sandy beach access, great restaurant attached, great pool, clean grounds. Other than a minor "lock" issue initially, as well as the medicine cabinet rusting away, we loved staying there and would return. Would have loved to have the pretty white bedspread on the bed (like the photos listed) instead of the homely, older blue bedspread when we arrived.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo has probably the best view of any place we\'ve stayed in. It was awesome to see spinner dolphins jumping and yellow tangs coming in on the surf in the morning--and right underneath us! Sunsets were magnificent and there was no need for us to go out to a view place for drinks. We bought ingredients for our drinks and enjoyed the view from our room. On the other hand, the condo could use some major updates. First, the bed (a small one for two people) sits on what used to be the balcony and the floor tips, thus making the bed tilt to the right side. One of us used the hide-a-bed, which felt, well, like a hide-a-bed with about 30 years of wear. Second, there is no air conditioning. We were there in February, and even then it was warm and stuffy without the windows open. There are louvered windows above the door and in the bathroom to let in air. Unfortunately, they also let in noise (even when closed). And noise there was! The condo fronts on a main 2-lane street and seems to be a thoroughfare for trucks and "hot cars" with no mufflers. Many are headed to next-door Magic Sands Beach, which is popular with surfers, b. boarders and people who want to loudly socialize day and night. In the early morning the landscape people start their blowers (right after 7 am). There is a restaurant with decent food and a beach bar next-door as well. Note there are three stories and no elevators. Recommended, but only for the view!

Many are headed to next-door Magic Sands Beach, which is popular with surfers, b. boarders and people who want to loudly socialize day and night. In the early morning the landscape people start their blowers (right after 7 am). There is a restaurant with decent food and a beach bar next-door as well. Note there are three stories and no elevators. Recommended, but only for the view!

The only good thing about this property is the view. The walls are cracked. The carpet is stained. The curtains are ripped and falling apart. The floor has a definite slope in the middle. The pool is not in an open area to view the ocean and get a breeze. The "beach" was non existent! Perhaps a private owned vrbo is better maintained than with a property management company. Overall.....disappointed.
