Walk to White Sands Beach Ocean view 2 Bedroom with pool

Great place Cleanliness on pointRelaxing

What this place lacks in updated decor and appliances is made up for wirh the spacious great room and convenient location. So nice to have a washing macine & dishwasher.

The quality of the bed and bedding was very poor. The layout of the suite, the view and the location was good. The maintenance of the suite could be improved in a number of cases as well.

Good: Very clean, nice layout & lots of deck. Kitchen was well equipped, beds were a little soft but were still comfy. Location was great, close to everything!Not so good: House has a funny layout. We had the top floor which was fine but the walls didn't go all the way to the ceiling. So when someone got up in the middle of the nite to use the bathroom, turns on the light & it shone into the bedrooms.

Great views from the top floor space! 10 min walk to magic sands beach the pool looked nice but we didn’t try it out (too chilly for us in January). Only complaint was that the afternoon sun made it HOT in the evenings with no shades in the massive windows. Word of caution, the room walls don’t go to the ceiling so it can be loud, and at night any light on will keep the whole place lit up. Overall it was a great place to spend a few days on the Kona side.

This house is fun and in a great location with a local islander vibe. Fantastic view from the third story lanai and beautiful cooling ocean breezes whisping through this uniquely designed cutie ( of course when you open the wall of doors). We lacked for nothing onsite. Everthing was easy and in good shape. We particularly appreciated that usable, unopened food could be left for the local food bank. Nice touch! Communication was also lightning fast. Aloha!

The place is very well organized with dishes and everything you need. The location is great and the view from the balcony is breathtaking! A couple of things to note are that there's no AC in the unit and the fans are just not enough, the mattresses are sinking, and the walls don't get all the way to the ceiling which means that every time someone turns on the light somewhere, even in the hallway outside your unit, you have light where you sleep. The bathroom main door didn't have a lock. We also found unusual the owner's request to strip the linen and start a load of washing machine as part of the checkout procedure, especially in light of the cleaning fees which were already included in the price. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great place for our family of 4. Awesome view of the ocean and central location to a lot of things we wanted to do... we mostly just sleep there but having a house instead of just a hotel room made it feel like home.

This was a great property for our short stay. It is close to Ali'i Drive which can be loud at times but is mostly good. Convenient to get to restaurants and snorkeling and farmers markets in Kona. The pool was lovely especially when it is hot because the upstairs unit does not have AC. I did not find the living room furniture comfortable but the rest of our party did. And the top floor does not have walls that go all the way up to the ceiling so if someone is in the entry way for the downstairs unit you can hear them. The location was good, the kitchen had what we needed. It is an upstairs unit though so there are a number of stairs to climb and that should be considered if you are looking for this unit to stay in.

Laundry within unit, spacious layout, large shared bathroom, kitchen is well equipped & large wrap around deck. Kona is known for sugar ants on counters and geckos - which didn’t deter us, you just have to be mindful not to leave food on countertops. Dishes in cabinets I was mindful to wash before use. The sound from the unit below was a little issue - the renters below had a child screaming and slamming their door in the shared staircase on multiple occasions. Which the shared staircase and the master bedroom wall are adjoining and open above. We opened our door to check on the said screaming child in the staircase below. The pool deck was in need of a power wash and pool cleaning. We didn’t use those amenities during our stay. Parking is limited to 1 stall for the unit but it’s easy parking in front of the garage door.

Great place

Location was quiet and view of the ocean was great! I loved staying in Kona and this apartment was central to all the things we wanted to see, loved the pool but wish it was better lit in the evening, but overall we had all that we needed!

It was just as expected! Beautiful place!

The pictures of the property are not accurate of the top unit. The pics are of the 2nd floor unit. In the top unit, there are no floor to ceiling walls, so there is no privacy in bedrooms. All though the place has 3 lanai glass doors the view is of 2 houses in the front, which means those 2 houses have a clear view of the inside of the top view because there are no curtains.

Check in/out were easy, location was excellent, space was great, price was good, and host was responsive. Really everything was good except there were bugs. This just may be expected with breezy oceanfront properties that aren’t new, but we had small gnats and ants and caught a cockroach.

Nice and convenient location

Rented based on hot tub advertised. Actually no hot tub. Grill listed no grill on property. Location was great

The house was nice and accommodating, but the pool was. It not dirty and not maintained it did not look like the pictures would not even get in it.

This unit has so much potential to be a 5 star option but it does need alot of updates. Several things need replaced: queen mattress (very worn in/sags), blinds (doesn’t have a good working mechanism to open/shut in main bedroom), screen doors (easily come off the tracks, a bit difficult to slide open/close, gaps that allow bugs in), pillows. We loved the layout, the open living room with wall to wall patio doors was beautiful. It did get very hot during the day but cooled off throughout the night with all the windows and doors open. With that did come a lot of noise so just be advised if traveling with sensitive sleepers or young children. Birds were pretty standard alarm clocks at 6am sharp and the neighbors to the back were a bit loud. Multiple vehicles coming and going including a motorcycle that revved loudly early most mornings. The host was great at staying in touch and answering questions that arose. The shower head broke during our stay and it was replaced very quickly.We enjoyed the pool, no complaints. We appreciated the items by the pool that were available to borrow, such as the boogie boards and beach chairs but it did seem like most of the items like that had been left behind by other guests and several things were broken. Would have appreciated a few things that were lacking such as a water filter jug in the fridge, tissues, Clorox wipes for counters after cooking, additional toilet paper. Loved being able to do laundry.

This place does NOT have A/C, only fans. Even with windows open and fans working, it gets VERY HOT during the day and stays hot until late evening. The on-line description does not mention this, so it came as a surprise.
