Oceanview condo with soaking tub in Kailua Kona

Knutson provided excellent and responsive service.

The condo was fantastic. Very large space.

Most importantly, that lanai. We sat out there almost 24 hours a day just watching the ocean and the surfers on Banyon Break. So absolutely amazing.

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. The sunsets and moon sets were amazing! We also enjoyed the surfers every day. The location was very convenient, close enough to town but away from the busy area which makes it easy to head out in any direction. The unit was clean, spacious and bed was comfortable (which was a big plus). We enjoyed our meals on the lanai but the outdoor furniture wasn't very comfortable. The lack of AC did lead to a few uncomfortable nights even though the unit had ceiling fans and another large fan they didn’t cool the unit down much. Before our arrival I asked the management company if there was a small cooler, beach towels, or portable beach chairs that we could take off the property. I was told there may be chairs in the storage area on the 2nd floor but no cooler or towels so I packed our beach towels. When we arrived, I checked the storage areas and they were either locked or nothing in them. The unit ended up having a small cooler and a couple beach towels. It would have been nice if there were a couple portable beach chair to take to the various beaches on the island. We had an issue with the kitchen faucet and reached out to Knutson & Associates. They were very responsive and had a repair person out the same day. All in all it was a great unit for our stay great.

If you love looking out at the ocean from morning to sunset, then you will LOVE this condo! The views are stunning. The condo is nicely decorated, comfortable, clean, with a well stocked kitchen. Most of all, we loved eating breakfast and sunset dinner on the outside patio over the ocean.

The view and location of this property were exceptional. We very much enjoyed watching the beautiful sunsets and all the activities out on the ocean. The pool area was also quiet, clean and tidy. The barbecues were satisfactory.

However, there were a few areas which require attention in our opinion: (1) Though the online pictures make the kitchen appear new, it is quite dated and congested. (2) Despite extensive efforts to keep the condo cool (closing blinds and curtains, constantly running 4 floor fans and all ceiling fans, opening windows/doors to allow cross ventilation), it consistently stayed hot throughout the space, even at night. (3) The dryer was unable to dry clothes in a timely fashion (~3 hrs/load) (4) We were told on 2 occasions that we shouldn't be parking in the guest space. We should have been using space 404 but the owner's car was parked there (we were asked to pass this info on to Knutson & Assoc. by a lady associated with the building upkeep). (5) We couldn't determine which outdoor equipment in the storage locker belongs to unit 404, so we didn't use anything. (6) The floor fans were extremely dirty.

Generally, we enjoyed our stay in unit 404; however, a few much-needed updates to the kitchen, living room blinds, and installation of A/C would have improved our experience.
