Ultimate Oceanfront Townhome Located on Kona Coast

Reviews

• Beautiful ocean views!

  5/5

  We enjoyed our stay in this lovely townhouse, immensely! The ocean views were wonderful - we were just above and overlooking the small bay north of the Surf and Racquet Club, where there we saw honu swimming most days. It's an easy walk to Kahalu'u Beach park for a morning snorkel. The home had all the amenities we needed: the kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and there was snorkel and beach gear. Our hosts had a package of coffee waiting for us - great start to the mornings. The lanai is well protected from the rain and was shaded through the day so we could sit out comfortably at any time.

  Our vacation was the beginning of October and daytime temperatures were mid to high 80s (~30 Celsius). While there is no air conditioning, there were a lot of fans that kept us comfortable at night. We did keep the windows open for sleeping and the sound of the waves could be a tad loud, so if that's an issue you may want to think about earplugs!

  We were asked to park in "visitors; there were three spots just around the corner from the space allotted to the unit, and they were actually an easier walk in with groceries. We never had an issue finding a close spot.

  I'd absolutely consider the unit again!

• Amazing inside and out

  5/5

  We had an amazing week at this beautiful townhome. The grounds were beautiful, the inside of the home had everything that we needed, and the view of the ocean was so peaceful. Listening to the sound of the waves at night and in the morning was absolutely breath taking. The location to town was perfect. Not too far, but not too close. Cannot wait to go back.

  Others have noted how great this property is, so I'll concentrate on some smaller things. The kitchen is well equipped; there are tons of books; there are plenty of towels; the place has a welcoming and comfortable vibe. The shower looks out onto the ocean! Two small problems: we had to reset the wifi because our devices weren't connecting (and we are computer savvy), and there is no grill (which is shown in the property photo). The owner's car is parked in the designated parking spot, so we had to park in visitor parking. But this is a great space!

• Our first rental - exceeded expectations!

  5/5

  We've never done a rental before. We've always stayed in hotels. This was a great first time experience. Access was easy. The townhouse was as described, clean, and had lots of nice extras like a package of local coffee in the kitchen. The snorkel gear, beach chairs and umbrella were great and nice Tommy Bahama quality, something we wouldn't have at a hotel. From the aloe "after sun" lotion in the downstairs bathroom to the shampoos upstairs, everything we needed was at hand and made us feel at home right away.

  We loved the location. I'm so glad we didn't book another property we were considering that was right in the busy area of town. This was close to everything, just not noisy and right in the middle of everything, so we got privacy and relaxation.

  The only inconvenience was that for two days we had to park by the entrance and walk to our unit because of construction, but those types of jobs aren't always communicated to residents, so it's possible they didn't know it would be taking place during our stay. (We probably would have booked anyway!) Also, it was just the two of us, so it didn't matter, but the downstairs shower is marked as not having hot water. Again, with just the two of us we used the upstairs instead, but I suppose if you were in a group, you'd want the shower to have hot water in both bathrooms.

  Note that there's no air conditioning at this property but it wasn't bad at all. With the ocean breeze and fans, the indoor weather was fine for us. But if you run warm and don't like humidity, you should keep this in mind for this property...

• Great stay, great place, great location

  5/5

  We loved the location with the gorgeous view as shown in their advertising. It was delightful eating out on the lanai. The kitchen is well equipped and we were able to prepare any dishes we wanted. There is good ventilation in the rooms upstairs, beds are good. My only regret was not using the swimming pool more often; I get cold easily but the temperature was perfect for swimming, warmer than the ocean; could have stayed in the pool for longer than I actually did without getting cold. If you are into pickleball, tennis or ping pong there are courts and tables available.

  Kahalu'u Beach is very nearby which is really good for snorkeling - so many colo2rful fish although the coral itself is better at Kealakekua Bay.
