Full Ocean View from Peaceful, unique Condo in boutique bldg.

We rented the Kona condo for three nights in late September 2012. It's a comfortable, well-appointed two-bedroom, two-bath unit, located about half a block from Kahalu'u Beach. The large living room leads to a wide deck through sliding glass doors and offers a view of the ocean. The building is small, so one doesn't have the feeling of being lost in a huge development. The pool is private with pretty flowers (the largest hibiscus we've ever seen) and a key-operated elevator from the garage. The owner has thought of everything. (We own a vacation rental house on the mainland ourselves, so we're sensitive to the kinds of amenities guests expect.) We especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen with good-quality cookware, everything one needs to make a full dinner, and an ample supply of plush beach and bath towels. The owner provides snorkel equipment, but we opted to rent our own masks and fins. We recommend Reef Teach at Kahalu'u Beach or Snorkel Bob’s just to the north, but go early as the water can get crowded. The excellent KTA Supermarket is located less than a mile away. Be sure to go to Da Poke Shack for lunch--a wonderful assortment of different kinds of poke. It's listed in the book of suggestions that the owner has provided. If we return to Kona, we would definitely rent this condo again.

This condo was absolutely perfect. Across the street from amazing snorkeling, a short trip from downtown, and plenty of sttractions near by. I would never want to stay anywhere else; this was the perfect balance between privacy while still havinge everything you could possibly want accessible! Absolutely perfect.

I would like to give this property TEN STARS if I could! The photos do not do justice to the feeling that comes over you as you open the front door to this spacious condo and the sea breeze greets your senses. The property was immaculate and we enjoyed many beautiful sunsets while sipping wine or Mai Tai's on the lanai. The kitchen is amazing and the bedrooms are very private and spacious. The location could not be better. I can't wait to return to this "Peaceful Nest"!
