Keauhou with gorgeous oceanview and on the 8th hole of Kona Country Club fairway

Beautiful views and a great location. Quiet too. A great place to stay. Owners were great communicators as well.

The condo was beautiful and quiet. The neighbors were amazing! We would definitely rent the condo again. The owners reached out to us a couple of times to make sure we had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked (we cooked due to family with celiac) and it had tons of seasonings which was great. The only thing it lacked was a hand mixer.

We (family + 1) stayed in this condo for 2 weeks in mid-July and had a great time - kids each got their own bedroom, my 13 year old loved the loft with its dedicated bathroom. Really nice lanai with a beautiful view of the ocean and the golf course. It is pretty centrally located if you have a car - Kona is 10 min away and there is a beach within a 10 min walk as well. The kitchen is pretty well stocked as well with plenty of pots and pans and accessories - we made breakfast every day and cooked a few dinners as well with no problem. The owners were responsive and quick to fix any issues - our screen door wasn't closing right and they got a handyman out the same day to fix it. There is some beach equipment there - chairs, some flippers, beach towels, etc - we bought snorkel gear at costco which was almost the same price as renting it. There is a Longs Drugs and supermarket within a 3-5 min drive as well, but do note that most stores and restaurants close down around 9pm, and almost nothing is open after 11. The community pool and hot tub are nice, but they are kind of strict on no toys in the pool and no excessive noise - if you are looking for a party condo this is not the place, def more towards quiet relaxing time (which was fine with us). The only thing that bugged us is once a week the workers use gas powered leaf blowers at 8am, and since you have to have the windows open to cool down it will wake everyone up, but it just happened a few times. The 2 bedrooms have AC but we only used them a few times when it got really hot, most of the time ceiling and vertical fans were able to keep everyone cool enough. All in all a great condo to rent, esp if you have older kids that want their own bedrooms. Definitely recommended!

The condo is up 24 steps, no elevator. We arrived at 3:45 to someone else’s car in the parking space. The lanai view is very nice and was the only place where it was cool. Inside the condo was too hot for us to sleep without the fans on. The queen bed felt like sleeping in a baseball mitt (no support). The king bed was supportive but had sheets that did not fit properly and every night we woke up and had to remake the bed to get rid of the balled up sheets that came undone in the corners. Most disturbing was the fact that we paid a lot for “cleaning” and yet we had to hand wash every dish, flatware and cup we used because they were visibly dirty. We put our dishes into the dishwasher, washed them and then only used dishes out of the dishwasher because we knew they were clean. I took pictures of the large stain of some liquid that spilled in the freezer drawer and a picture of the visible grime around the knob on a kitchen cabinet. I was unable to get a clear picture of the grease film on other Kitchen surfaces. The upstairs area with two twin beds had no cross breeze and was stuffy so we were glad our friend, who was going to sleep up there, didn’t make it. We all struggled with sleeping in the heat but upstairs was the hottest. The blender I specifically asked about was broken. The large umbrella for the beach was missing and the boogie board left for us to use was broken. After calling Alyson, an umbrella and boogie board were left in the apartment while we were gone. She offered to have a contractor come by and fix the broken disposal but we declined as we did not want someone in the condo again while we were gone. My biggest problem was we paid a very large cleaning fee and when it was very obvious that the condo was not clean (pictures sent to confirm) and that we were obliged to clean ourselves, we were not offered a refund of any amount. Conclude: Pros: lanai is comfortable, the view is lovely, saw very few live roaches so traps and spray is working. Cons: beds are uncomfortable, condo is very hot, more deep cleaning needed. Suggestion: A hand-held shower head should be installed in one of the showers.
