16 Reviews of Property 9673 in Kailua Kona, Hawaii

Kailua-Kona and Kona Shores was a great location for us. There were so many wonderful beaches a short drive north or south of the condo. Glen, the owner, gives great suggestions for the best beaches, sites and restaurants to explore. He was always quick to answer and e-mails or questions. We enjoyed the big private patio with a view of the ocean where we ate most of our meals. If you put food in the bird feeders you can enjoy visits from some of of the Island's beautiful birds. The condo is the best in this older development. It is spacious and very comfortable. There is a very nice pool and BBQ area with a wonderful view of the ocean and sunset. The many residents were friendly and helpful. This unit and location was a good choice for us.
There are a few down sides but if you are not bothered by them take advantage of this condo for your Hawaiian stay. The bath tub/shower is old, stained and needs replacing. The floor tile is in need of a really good cleaning. Sometimes there were small ants in the kitchen and bathroom but really not bothersome. We mentioned this to Glen. He was going to have the exterminator come in to take care of that. We would recommend this condo.

My husband and I stayed for 8 nights and thorougly enjoyed ourselves! I was initially enchanted with the picture of the windows all around and they were exactly as pictured! Everything was clean and well maintained. We were able to get into the unit a little earlier with some help from the owner and the cleaning woman. Glen, the owner, was always very responsive to any questions we had. The oceanside pool is marvelous. The unit is close to Kona, which is really nice. We would definitely stay here again and are already recommending it to others. Thank you!

It was better than expected. We were on our honeymoon and your place was perfect for us to relax and enjoy. The lanai is AWESOME. Spent a night sleeping on the futon enjoying the ocean sounds. The ocean view from the lanai is small, but the sunset was right in the middle. Picture Perfect. Bought some bird seed to fill the feeder and enjoyed watching all the birds come to visit...cardinals, finches, sparrows, doves, etc. If we come back to celebrate our anniversary we hope your place will be available. Thanks for everything.

My wife and I have spent time here on several occasions and we are never disappointed....
Everything exists exactly as described; the main reason we keep coming back is the personal privacy that you can enjoy on this corner end unit. The glass sliding doors (there are 3 of them) that open to the lanai allow you to enjoy the tropical gardens and the small bird feeder attracts the local songbirds including the cardinals, canarys and saffron finches. There is even a comfortable sofa outside to relax and read and admire the foilage and fauna in your small tropical paradise. For the both of us, this place is like a second home, morning coffee on the little glass dinette table outside is a pleasant way to start the day.
There is a partial view of the ocean from the unit, but a one minute stroll to the BBQ and pool area allows excellent viewing of some dramatic sunsets. Newly installed flagstone tiles around the poolside and picnic area makes this an attractive place to be to grill your dinner over real charcoal (there are no gas BBQ's here) Just another reason to come down early, lit your briquets, walk down to the edge of the ocean or sit by the pool side to watch the sun sink in to the distance along the horizon. The recent addition of a water fountain just adds to the serenity. Great photos can be taken with the palm trees in the foreground as the day slowly comes to a close. You have the option of enjoying your meal in the covered patio area or you can bring it back to your lanai and dine in candlight.outside in the garden patio,
Parking is located just steps away from your unit and you are the closest one to the laundry unit.
To walk into town, it is just a short trip of 15 to 20 minutes, and next door you have the Aloha Nail salon and Green Flash Coffee bistro. For oceanfront access this place is ideal. Just like living like a local in a tropical paradise. ....Chris & Shelley - Vancouver BC

Very nice property in a quiet location near but not too close to the nightlife. The owner has done much to make the stay enjoyable and trouble free. I would recommend this property to you.

I can't image ever staying in a hotel! This was an incredible 1 bedroom condo that had everything we needed for a fun 1 week on the Big Island! It felt like we were outside because of the floor to ceiling windows, the natural light was abundant. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast, lunch and dinner every night. Every morning we enjoyed breakfast on the patio with an ocean view. The best part of this condo was the beach closet - which had everything we needed - boogie board, chairs, umbrella, cooler, and there were even ice packs in the freezer. I felt like my home was transplanted to the Big Island. The area was safe and secure and walking distance to the center of town (we watched the parade one day). We also enjoyed watching the sunset at the pool that overlooked the ocean.

Thank you!

A note of thanks to you and Ginny for having us to your condo in Kona. We really enjoyed our stay and hope we can visit again soon. Your instructions were much appreciated and informative. You might mention that Makalei Golf course is close and very reasonable for those inclined. I wanted to say MAHALO and that your place is very nice and accommodation.

The Condo is lovely! Great colors & art work, and equipment!!
