The wife and I rented this condo over labor day week and couldn't have picked a better location to setup Kona camp. Tyler is easy to work with and was very responsive on my initial inquiry along with the setting up payment via paypal. Easy..
The condo has a view that just makes it easy to be lazy and hang out on the lanai. We saw Bat rays, fish, turtles and dolphin almost everyday. You can dive right in front of the condo complex and if no swell running water visibility was 40-50 feet out near bouy. I personally had the pleasure of diving with 40-50 spinner dolphin one morning by myself. It was a love fest between human and dolphin. Tip-Dive down about 10-15 feet and they literally came within arms length. They copied by spins and just had no fear, some SUP's and one other person came out to take part in that lovefest. It was surreal as I have dived with Dolphin in Sea of Cortez a couple times, the water clarity on that day was epic.

Being close to town is big plus as the farmers market was a daily stop for fresh papaya, white pineapple, avocados and Veggies for dinner. Cooked in the condo and had everything needed to make the meal happen. Tip-I bagged up about 12 different spices for cooking before I came so we were set. The pool was nice, jacuzzi hot and grounds in general were well kept. The waves were great for sleeping with really the only drawback being thunder foot neighbor above us. I would recommend this property to anyone whom wants a great location, close to town with a awesome lanai right on the water.

Thanks Tyler..I will be renting it again if I can squeeze into your busy calendar.

This unit has a very good view of the ocean and the Kona coast line. The unit is also furnished well and is very private. We would recommend and will stay here again! We love the Green Flash Coffee Co. right next door. If you like to walk you can be at a small beach in 10 minutes or downtown in 20. The staff is great. The only negative was we had to pickup the key at the Islander Inn and got hit with a sales pitch for activities in the area.

Very nice clean room, staff was very good and location if you like to walk is excellant.

This condo has an absolutely fabulous waterfront view, with the surf only 20 feet from the lanai. The sound of the sea was mesmerizing and we couldn't drag ourselves away from the lanai as we sat and enjoyed the view. The condo is very nice, although the owner has plans to do some updating this summer, as the kitchen is in need of a facelift. Other than that, it was well equipped, very convenient to town, and we enjoyed watching dolphins, whales, snorkelers, from the lanai. We would definitely stay here again.

My husband, elderly father and myself stayed in this 2 bedroon condo for a month and loved it!!. The place is bright and cheery and the lanai with the view is to die for.!! We overlooked the ocean and were so close we could look right down and see the yellow tang fish swimming in the water .Out further we could see the spinner dolphins jumping and spinning out of the water, not to mention the weekly cruise ship, canoeists, fisherman ,kayakers and parasailers who kept us entertained. The lanai had a beautiful 160 degree view and our favorite time of the day was watching the beautiful sunsets at night, which were spectacular. What we really like is the condo was well away from the roadway so no traffic noise and you could go to sleep with just the sounds of the waves lapping against the shore. How wonderful.! The community pool and hot tub was very nice and a great place to meet other tourists and share our experiences. The little coffee bar near the entrance of the condo complex was adorable with its lovely little outdoor shady alcove and wonderful shakes and sandwiches, not to mention coffee. The place also had a lovely barbeque area and tennis courts to get some excercise. To get further excercise, it was a nice mile and a bit walk into the village and farmers market and great fun poking around there. The condo has two bathrooms, one of which is an ensuite to the master bedroom but the other is down the hall and not as convenient for the second bedroom occupant. This was not a problem for us as we just completely designated the hall bathroom to my dad during our stay. The only other small thing was there were very little in the way of condiments ( ie coffee, sugar or spices etc) in stock.. Not a big issue and I was aware of this so I brought some of my own spices with me and bought the rest at the grocery stores. On the positive side, there was nice beach chairs and snorkeling equipment available so we had no need to rent
All in all, it completely lived up to our hopeful expectations. We loved it and we want to thank the owners for the great one month stay.

Wow, what an incredible view! We spent so much time on the balcony just having coffee, beers, and Baileys. It was certainly a highlight of our vacation to have access to such a true water-front living. The waves splashing onto the rocks was such a relaxing sound. I could live on that balcony! Haha. We were lucky enough to catch some glimpses of whales and dolphins too!

There are a lot of positives about this condo: boogie boards, which we made great use of, snorkel gear, a washer and dryer (a huge bonus with having messy little kids with us!), the proximity to town if you have a car is mere moments, the property and pool are beautiful, the owner is really nice and has lots of tips on what to do if you ask, and there is an awesome coffee shop on-site (we loved the french toast/ham/egg sandwich! Mmmm!!)

There are just a couple things I want to add...With all the 5 star reviews, we were sort of expecting a bit more luxurious accommodations. Actually, the suite is very basic. Definitely good enough. Nothing was really lacking but we were a bit let down with what we were expecting for all the 5 stars! Had we expected basic accommodations, it would have been fine! You will likely have to top up on things like toilet paper and paper towels but there are tons of linens and towels. Also, the place is VERY creaky! Creaky floors, doors, and beds! This would be no problem at all except that we had 2 kids under 3 that we would try to sneak away from at nap time or try to go to bed quietly next to at night - that didn't happen! They would wake up every time we came close!! There was WD-40 in the closet but that only helped the doors a little. You can't WD-40 the floor! Lol.

Anyways, overall, the value for the money is fantastic. That view, seriously, is phenomenal. You'd expect to pay a lot more for that. We were also visited by a praying mantis on the balcony. That was neat! And just i regards to a previous review about smoking and noise: we smelled no smoke at all the entire week and the pool of the other property is close and you can hear people in it - but there wasn't one day that they were there or noisy past 10 pm ('quiet time"). We had no trouble falling asleep due to noise.

This was a terrific place to stay - very great view of Kona Bay with the boats and dolphins jumping out of the sea. The deck was perfect for meals and enjoying the view. Very well maintained and equipped. The Green Flash coffee shop is close by and very friendly.

Thank you for an amazing family vacation. The condo was perfect. We left some more snorkel gear, food and other items for the next guests. The view from the Lanai was amazing, the perfect day was watching the manta rey swim effortlessly in the water with the beautiful fish feeding off the rocks. The Green Flash coffee stand at the enterance was wonderful for a morning stroll and a mocha. But the best part was the breeze and the sounds of the waves everyday and all the time. Simply Perfect....Tyler, I just wanted to take a moment and let you know we wouldn't have had such an amazing vacation without you and this perfect condo.
