Tropical Garden Condo with Pool, Kitchen, and A/C!

JessaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a great time staying here. We love eating breakfast in the lanai overlooking the pool and palm trees. The place was really nice and clean. The bed were perfect ( not too firm nor soft) and the linens were clean. We had a great sleep every night. The kitchen was small but just perfect to cook and warm up food. The hosts were great at responding promptly to our question about water safety. It was nice that the tap water was safe to drink. The location was great. Close to a a lot of food places. Over all, the place was great and would definitely book again if we are in this area again. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

Kona Reef D36, Direct Oceanfront! Top Floor! A/C

MerrieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We immediately felt right at home and welcomed by Regina and Scott. From the well organized binder of information to every amenity one might need, this is THE place to spend a week. When not running out to the sites on the Big Island, this property will meet all your needs. The room was quiet and had easy access. We could easily walk to town or have dinner on our private lanai while watching the sunset. When the staff blows the conch shells at sunset, all will be right in your world.

Ocean view with central location tropical paradise

JillianRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The condo had everything we needed and looked just like the photos. The beach gear was a fantastic touch, making our beach days effortless and fun. The fully stocked kitchen was nice—we loved being able to buy fresh fruit and prepare it at home. The bed was comfortable, and while there’s no AC in the bedroom, the fan kept the space comfortable. The location was conveniently located - only a 2-minute drive to the closes white sand beach and 15-20 minutes to Costco and Walmart. The street outside can be a bit loud from the passing cars, so the lanai wasn’t the quietest spot to relax, but it wasn’t an issue inside, and we slept well. Check-in and checkout were seamless, with clear and easy-to-follow instructions. Tom was an excellent host—he was proactive and highly responsive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Overall, a well-equipped and conveniently located stay that made our trip enjoyable!

Alii Villas: 2br, 2ba oceanfront condo

ReneeRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We chose Chris's place for the gorgeous view and nearness to the ocean. We were not disaeppointed; we spent all the time we were there, except for sleeping and showering, on the lanai, looking out on the ocean. We fell easily asleep to the sound of the waves. The sea breeze and the fans were sufficient to cool the apartment. When it was time for us to leave for the airport, we packed our car and gave ourselves some extra time to just sit on the lanai one last time, loving the view. I don't think I will ever forget it. We were impressed by the well-stocked kitchen and most appreciative. Beyond salt, pepper, and evo, there were spices and condiments, rice (and a rice cooker!) and soy sauce, and even some cocktail makings. The pots and pans and knives were excellent. It was no struggle at all to prepare meals and clean up with the help of a full-size dishwasher. An initial stop at a 24-hr safeway and one more trip were all we needed, plus a trip to an amazing fishmonger.

Oceanfront with AC @ Sea Village

GwynRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Just like the photos-right on the water in a nice complex with a clean pool and nice amenities. Our kiddo loved having beach toys and we appreciated the chairs, umbrella and cooler. Marta was an amazing host, helping coordinate check in and out times with our flights, without me even having to ask. The only downside we felt was that it’s not particularly walkable-you have to get in the car for most things. This, of course, is not the hosts fault and overall we really enjoyed our stay, just an FYI if you don’t know the area well.

Ocean Front Condo

MaryRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Staying at Kona Magic Sands is just amazing! Abra’s unit is one of the best! Very clean and has everything we needed. We love have a unit with a lanai and this one did not disappoint. We love being able to just walk to the beach next door. Abra provided everything we needed to enjoy our time on the Big Island. I would definitely stay here again!

Aloha Falls Hilo ~ Waterfall Paradise

MargedRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Sierra has put a lot of thought and effort into making this a beautiful and comfortable place to stay while exploring Hilo and the Big Island, or just relaxing. The covered screened porch, with a pair of comfortable chairs, was lovely, and especially welcome the day the it rained hard all day. There is everything needed prepare your own meals, but restaurants are only a few minutes away. Arriving and departing were easy.

Pali Hale - Epic Hawaii Oceanfront Experience

JenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Pali Hale was pure magic. Perched on a cliff with breathtaking ocean views, the energy of the waves made for a serene, unforgettable stay. The home was spotless, with fresh sea breezes and subtle Hawaiian scents setting the perfect tone. Reading and meditating on the patios was a dream, and the hosts were incredibly responsive, providing great local guides. Thoughtful touches like music on arrival made it even more special. An ideal retreat for family—truly unforgettable!

Ocean, Sunset, Mountain & Celestial Views

DeeRating, 5 stars3 days ago
This place was fantastic. The view is amazing- ocean, stars, mountains, it literally has it all. It’s super family friendly, tons of stuff to help you if you are traveling with an infant, toys, yard, safe space, play pen— everything you could need. It’s in a great spot with beautiful beaches ten minutes away. The hosts are so incredible. We grilled out on the deck watching the stars, picked fruit in the yard, enjoyed Kona coffee. If you stay anywhere else on big island you are missing out. This is a must stay and an incredible experience. We will return ❤️

Beautiful Home With Private Pool on Kealakekua Bay

AnneRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We loved our stay at Mary’s place! Although it was a little more remote than expected, we appreciated the access to the different beautiful beaches in the neighborhood. The snorkeling at Manini Beach was spectacular! Because we had our 8 month old granddaughter with us, we also spent a lot of time in the beautiful pool. The “glamping” aspect of our stay was fun and we enjoyed the sounds of nature, particularly our rooster alarm at the crack of dawn which certainly helped us get our days started. We would highly recommend Mary’s place and wouldn’t hesitate staying again when on the island.

Ocean Front Kona Reef A35! It doesn't get better!

CassandraRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We had a fantastic time. Wendy was proactive and responded immediately to messages. Condo was as described and the kitchen was well stocked. We really appreciated the beach chairs, coolers, ice packs and snorkel gear as well. We took a lot of day trips so it was nice not having to buy a styrofoam cooler or ice. The view from the lanai was amazing. We spent a lot of time there watching the boogie boarders and enjoying the sunset. There was also a cute little rainbow that would come and go behind the palm tree directly out the lanai. We did use the pool/jacuzzi a couple times both were well maintained. I choose Wendy's place both for the view and the proximity to town. It was an easy walk to morning coffee and the restaurants. All in all, it was a great trip. Mahalo

Oceanfront living - Floor to Ceiling wall of glass

KendraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful home on the ocean! We enjoyed watching the surfers and sunset daily from the lanai or floor to ceiling windows, the sound of the ocean waves so rhythmic and calming. The condo is quiet, the pool and hot tub are great after a day of exploring. The kitchen was decently stocked to prepare daily meals and the condo was clean and well taken care of. The location was excellent, close to town/restaurants in one direction and beaches for snorkeling and picnicking in the other direction. Jennifer had snorkeling equipment, boogie boards and picnic coolers available for our use. We also had a designated, covered parking spot with secure, but easy access to condo. A wonderful stay! I hope our family can return again one day!

Oceanfront Condo/Hawaiian Style. 1Bd, w/AC & Wifi

BaryRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The attention to detail in this updated condo is apparent. It is appointed with guests in mind--USB charging stations, water play equipment, well stocked kitchen, cooler, containers and ice for picnics... The waterfront location was great even though this isn't an ocean-facing unit, it is in a location that other occupants aren't walking by the front door, which is nice. Although we didn't use the pool, it was a nice little feature and appeared very well-maintained. We used the AC both for cooling the bedroom and to blur the traffic noise from the busy street below. It did the trick for both!

2 Bedroom Penthouse Condo With Ocean View And Pool

NancyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Great condo away from tourist area but not far from restaurants and grocery stores. I like being in small building instead of big resort. Well stocked kitchen and furnishings up to date. Clean and quiet. Real hot tub with jets was nice after being out on excursions all day! Kristina was very responsive and helpful. The coffee grinder broke and she had on sent to me within an hour! I would definitely stay here again if I return to the big island again!

JacquelineRating, 5 stars5 days ago
This condo is right on the water - nothing but a strip of lawn between you and the water. It has a nice lanai ( balcony) with a dining table and chairs for four and a couple of lounge chairs. The kitchen is reasonably well kitted out. Paul was exceptionally responsive and nice.
