  Great place, terrible check-in experience

  While the accommodations and location were great, sadly our trip was tainted by a horrible experience at check-in. Luanne was the nastiest, most unprofessional front desk receptionist that I've ever experienced. She called my husband and me "rude" over 20 times when I asked that she finish helping us check-in before moving on to another guest that was behind us in line, and threatened to not let us check-in to our condo. It was a terrible way to start our vacation, and I hope other guests do not have an experience like ours checking in.

  An Oceanfront Island Treasure

  After hearing about this place for a while, we finally had the opportunity to experience it. This place is wonderful. The grounds are beautiful and kept very orderly and clean and secure. Every morning I would enjoy my coffee on the lanai watching the caretakers clean the saltwater pool, hot-tub, gas grills and all of the tables, chairs and lounge chairs daily. Unit 309 was fantastic! It’s a one bedroom condo with two pullout beds, two full bathrooms, in-unit washer/dryer and plenty of living space. It seemed like this unit was recently remodeled as all of the appliances were new. The condo’s decor totally captured the Hawaiian vibe, fun, relaxing and all done tastefully with elements harkening back to Hawaii of the 50’s & 60’s. This is an Ocean front condo with a lanai that is outfitted with table & chairs, loveseat and a lounge chair, enough to seat 7 people, all with a fantastic views of the ocean, pool, hot-tub and beach. We will definitely be returning! Hopefully we’ll be able to request #309 as it is exactly how I would imagine a Hawaiian vacation home to be like.

  Amazing experience

  My family and I had a wonderful stay. We were fortunate to have the ocean-view suite, and that truly took the experience to another level. Having breakfast while overlooking the ocean and falling asleep each night to the sound of the waves made our stay incredibly relaxing and memorable. The staff was consistently friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout our visit, making us feel valued from start to finish. Thank you for helping make our trip such an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.

  Kona family vaca

  Great location, very spacious, fully equipped. Condo has SO much potential, but aesthetically needs Major updating! Having inside laundry is great, however, the laundry unit sounds like a spaceship is taking off.. Accommodated four people. Needs a pull out couch to accommodate any additional family members or you might need to go to Costco and buy a blowup bed. Living room furniture, very uncomfortable. Front desk personnel was very friendly.

  Spectacular Ocean Views, Dated Property

  The oceanfront view from the room is absolutely fantastic and was the highlight of our stay. Waking up directly overlooking the ocean made for a memorable experience. However, the property is showing its age, and our room had a noticeable moldy smell. Fortunately, the odor improved significantly by keeping the windows open and turning off the air conditioning, but it was still a major drawback. I had seen similar comments in previous reviews and can unfortunately confirm that this issue persists. While the location and views are excellent, the condition of the rooms could benefit from some updates.
