Oceanview Home Away from Home - This is the Best !

Everything said in previous reviews is true and more. One could not find a better place to stay in Kailua-Kona.
The condo is immaculate, stocked with everything you could possibly need, the view is to die for and it is very comfortable. Alii Drive is just a couple of minutes walk and that is where there are multiple restaurants, shops, the wonderful farmers market, the library and much more. We watched cruise ships dock and unload passengers to come visit Kona, yachts, paddlers, swimmers and one day even watched the stand up paddlers interact with a school of dolphins.....the Kailua Kona Christmas Parade took place while we were there .......all this we watched from our deck! Do not have a single negative thing to say about any of the restaurants we visited , I think we enjoyed our breakfast at Bubba Gump's the most. One evening we drove to Merriman's at Waimea for dinner and that was fabulous. Took a two hour round trip ride on the trolley, which only cost $2 per person and it was fun and we saw places we probably would not have seen otherwise. Met some of the permanent residents of Kailua Village and they were so friendly and welcoming plus gave us inside tips on where to go and what to do. Janice and Bruce are the best! We were so relaxed and happy, we almost forgot to check out. I could go on for pages but you get the idea! Just come and enjoy!

My wife and I stayed in this condo for a week in June. We were impressed with the cleanliness and well supplied condition of the unit. The description and photo's of the condo were accurate; however, we found that the condo exceeded our expectations. Janice and Bruce stocked the condo with everything you could need for the beach: beach chairs, mats, boogie boards, coolers, and more. The kitchen had more of everything we could imagine to make our home cooked a meals - which we enjoyed on the lanai overlooking Ali'i Drive and the water. They even had assorted bandages which I needed when I stubbed my toe while boogie boarding. The condo's location excellent, walking distance to the farmer's market, to shops along Ali'i Drive, and to Lava Java, which quickly became our favorite stop. The location also was a short drive from variety of grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. Janice and Bruce were very helpful and courteous in answering our questions about the unit and in providing directions to nearby stores. The pool was small - but we didn't use it as we swam in the ocean and rested at the beach nearby. We highly recommend this unit.

We stayed at this condo in late May/early June, 2011, and everything was just perfect. The unit was so clean and comfortable. We cooked our own meals in the well-equipped kitchen much of the time ...ribs from Costco, poke from Safeway, fresh veggies and fruits from the farmer's market... and had dinner on the lanai as the sun set. After-dinner walks down Ali'i Drive were delightful. Quinn's by the Sea was our favorite restaurant dinner. The location, close to grocery stores, beaches, and just close enough to the action on Ali'i Drive was also perfect. We rented snorkel equipment from a place on Ali'i Drive and beach-hopped during our last few days. Our water shoes worked better than fins at some of the rocky beaches, which are better for snorkeling. Snorkeled in the morning, then went to sandy beaches in the afternoons to swim. The condo has everything you could need for the beach...mats, cooler, towels, noodles, to mention a few. We were also grateful for the laundry soap, as we did laundry once during our stay. I was also thankful for the Hawaii, Big Island Revealed book, because I left mine on the plane. It was a most memorable vacation. We highly recommend this unit, and are looking forward to staying here again.. Thank you so much Janice and Bruce.
