Aug 7, 2025 #### Just what we needed Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo checked all the boxes: GREAT location, just a very short walk to one of the best snorkeling beaches on the Kona Coast, and a short drive down into the main shopping area in Kona. It was clean, safe, well stocked. We were there during the Tsunami Warning and Craig was good at keeping in contact with us through that. Water pressure was good (I've come to appreciate that). Also, kitchen was stocked with plenty of glasses and measuring cups, and all those things that some rental condos don't bother to include. A/C were units in each bedroom and worked well in those rooms (though they were loud -only complaint). I would definitely come back! ##### Kirsten M.

Jul 8, 2025 #### Great location, comfortable place & uneven communication Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property is clean, somewhat dated but fair for the cost and located near a top beach and in a nice quiet neighborhood. Communication was uneven - initially responsive, then stopped for no apparent reason. The most troubling thing: I was given 2 different door codes, which I tried to clarify a few hours before evening arrival but got no answer and neither code worked. After calling/texting the emergency contact and any email/phone # I had, someone answered the reservation line. Took over an hour to get the correct code, which was very stressful. The property contact offered 1 night credit for giving the wrong door code but then never provided it even after a few emails/texts. Besides that, the place was comfortable and very pleasant and the contact responded to issues during my stay. ##### Cristina B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff Nov 26, 2025 A perfect location for snorkelers; you can easily walk to one of the best snorkeling sites on the island. A great pool and hot tub that were never busy and just outside your door. Very comfortable place to stay, and the owners did a great job of outfitting the condo with everything you need, from kitchen tools to beach accessories. Dinner on the balcony amongst the green trees was special too. ##### Jeff Stayed 9 nights in Nov 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kanaloa at Kona by OUTRIGGER](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Kanaloa-At-Kona-By-OUTRIGGER.h28501.Hotel-Information) > > [Castle Kanaloa at Kona](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Kanaloa-At-Kona-By-Castle.h11518173.Hotel-Information) > > [Kona Reef, A Raintree Vacation Club Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Kona-Reef.h7896575.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Waikiki-Beach.h2766.Hotel-Information) > > [The Twin Fin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-The-Twin-Fin-Hotel.h34498.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Mauna Loa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Mauna-Loa-Village.h1060311.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Waikiki-Beach-Resort-Spa.h19988.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-King-Kamehamehas-Kona-Beach-Hotel.h21741.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Royal Sea Cliff](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Royal-Sea-Cliff.h1060302.Hotel-Information) > > [Keauhou Kona Surf & Racquet Club 3202](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Keauhou-Kona-Surf-Racquet-Club-3202.h35659576.Hotel-Information) > > [Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott, Maui](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Wailea-Beach-Resort-Marriott.h20303.Hotel-Information) > > [Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Moana-Surfrider.h15534.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-OUTRIGGER-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h13791.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Kona](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Kona-Hawaiian-Resort.h1060278.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Maui-At-Wailea.h14336.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Sea Cliff Kona by OUTRIGGER](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Royal-Sea-Cliff-Kona-By-OUTRIGGER.h7733.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-OUTRIGGER-Reef-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h23249.Hotel-Information) > > [Aston Kona by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Aston-Kona-By-The-Sea.h19443.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Wailea Maui, A Waldorf Astoria Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Grand-Wailea-Maui.h7867.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Sheraton-Waikiki.h7385.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hilton-Waikiki-Beach.h25227.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Kea Lani Maui](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Fairmont-Kea-Lani-Maui.h8765.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kona Bali Kai](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Hotel-Kona-Bali-Kai.h36447226.Hotel-Information) > > [Holua Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Holua-Resort.h890813.Hotel-Information) > > [Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Waikiki-Beach-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h5306.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Kailua-Kona by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Kailua-Kona.h7714581.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Outrigger-Kona-Resort-And-Spa.h49175916.Hotel-Information) > > ['Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Alohilani-Resort-Waikiki-Beach.h21781.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Kona Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Royal-Kona-Resort.h25276.Hotel-Information)
