Part of the charm of our unit is the tropical foliage and a big Monkey Pod tree just off the lanai, while the tree provides delightful shade it does shed some debris, when the wind blows or it rains more debris will fall. We have provided a leaf blower for you use to blow the debris off the lanai at your discretion. It is located on the upper lanai in the deck box. Please use between the hours of 8am and 8pm.

The pier is the official starting and finishing point of the Ironman World Championship which is held in October. These are just a few of the many outdoor adventures that await.

Like any tropical location bugs are common. We do have routine environmentally friendly pest control inside and out every 3 months, but bugs will occasionally still make an appearance inside the unit. Uninvited pests often seen on the Big Island include, but are not limited to, ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes, centipedes (don’t touch them), moths, spiders, and Geckos. Geckos are good, natural pest control and you may see them from time to time in the unit on the wall. Please help us keep pests under control by storing all food in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Do not leave any food out on the counter or in cupboards. Dirty dishes should be rinsed and put in the dishwasher after use, counters wiped, and garbage disposed of often. This will make everyone’s stay more enjoyable.

***Please note that this property is not equipped with air conditioning. It does, however, feature excellent ventilation with floor-to-ceiling Jalousie windows in the front of the unit, 8' sliders to the Lanai with ceiling fans throughout, which creates a comfortable space with plenty of air flow.***

    Wonderful property! It’s exactly as it looks in the listing photos. But what you don’t see is all the extras like all the kitchen and bathroom supplies and plenty of fresh coffee beans and guide books for the Big Island. For the most part, the lack of AC was not a problem. Warm in the evenings inside, but comfortable sleeping. Great location to some of the best spots around Kona. 25 minute drive to the best snorkeling on the island. 5 minute walk to picturesque rocky beach for sunsets. 15 minutes to downtown Kona (except during rush hour).

    The Oceanview townhouse by Linda and Hugh was a great find for our stay on the big Island. The lanai looking over the 11th hole of the Kona country club and blue waters of the pacific was perfect for coffee in the am and wine in the pm. Kitchen was well stocked and everything was as described. Great location for excursions and activities.

    I cannot say enough positive about our stay. It was convenient to everything important to us - walking, paddling beach, golf, eateries, groceries., etc It is just a big enough complex to have the amenities of pools yet not so big you can’t get to know your neighbors. Linda and Hugh decorated and maintained a picture perfect condo. Every item from toothpaste to chopsticks and in between is at a rentals access. Not to mention very very clean and organized - OUTSTANDING! Also the communication was available at any notice. Great Hosts! I feel like we will be friends for many years to come.

    We loved the quiet location, very nice accommodations with lots of nice amenities to ease arrival late in the evening and throughout our stay. The available facilities were very clean and comfortable to use. The Host was extremely responsive to communications that were made during our stay. Will vey likely stay again in the future.

    Great place for your Hawaiian stay. The home, property and grounds are wonderful. Very well stocked kitchen and bath. Owners are very responsive and accommodating. We enjoyed the beautiful pool area and the short walk to several waterfront locations for taking in the sunsets. Lovely home, highly recommended.

    Really enjoyed our stay here. Great location, walkable neighborhood, close to stores and beaches but a quiet, mellow vibe. Owners were easy to communicate with and accommodating. Hope to land here again.

    Firstly Hugh and Linda are absolutely incredible hosts. They’re friendly, kind, communicative, and they have literally thought of everything possible for the comfort of their guests. From booking to check out this townhome was a dream. The home was spotlessly clean and stocked with pretty much anything you would need like toiletries, kitchen gadgets, coffee, spices, rice, they even have a drawer with Tylenol and ibuprofen packets. I honestly have never stayed in such a thoughtful VRBO. The pool has great hours and is a short 2 minute walk from the townhouse. We took a dip every evening and almost always had the pool to ourselves. We were a bit nervous that the unit didn’t have AC but quickly found that the fans and the airflow between the louvre windows and the sliding glass doors on both levels was plenty. We even ended up needing to turn off fans in the middle of the night as it would cool way down. The lanai on both levels had great shade and views. Oh and if you’re headed to the beach (who isn’t when visiting the island) they provide all the beach toys , chairs, shade umbrellas, coolers. If you’re looking for a super comfortable and quiet stay look no further. We’re already looking at dates for our next visit.

    My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had an amazing time. The check in process was very simple and the unit was exactly what we expected. The only negative I have would be the overall cleanliness of both upper and lower lanai's. Upon our arrival both were completely covered with falling debris from the tree. We had to clean it off the table, chairs and decking before we could use. The unit is stocked with necessities to enjoy a full day of fun in the water or sun. Kitchen and Bathrooms were both stocked with necessities and a few extras. The pool is very comfortable as well. The location was convenient to beaches, shopping, dining and tours. Overall we had an amazing time and would stay again.

    This well maintained unit had everything we needed for a three week winter getaway. The condo is perfectly located. A short uphill walk to shopping and restaurants, and an easy downhill stroll to the bay, dive cruise dock, rowing club, and the Kona Outrigger Hotel. The ocean sunset view from the deck is perfectly framed by the Monkey Pod tree that provides welcome shade and coolness in the afternoon. Sunbathing on the deck in February is a 1.5 hour window around noon due to this beautiful tree. However, the pool area is a short walk away. It is has shaded tables and chairs, plus lounge chairs if you wish to sun bathe, plus umbrellas for shaded lounging. The unit is closer to the road than we estimated it to be, but traffic noise at night is light as the road to the bay dead ends. You quickly adjust. A heads up for those that need to use the sleeper sofa. It is new and very high quality, but operates differently from most. The instructions are in a white Welcome Binder that also contains info on the operation of the ceiling exhaust fan, and other tips and recommendations. Somehow we missed finding it until we had been there a few days. Things are so well labeled that we had figured most things out by then. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Our family of three stayed two weeks at this townhome and were satisfied. We stay at numerous VRBO's throughout Hawaii and this townhome was more clean and more organized than most. The location is great for grocery shopping, fuel for vehicle and walking distance to the small boat harbor. The townhouse location for day trips to Captain Cook for kayaking and snorkeling was also convenient as there is very little vehicle traffic on the drive back to the townhome. The pool area was super clean, modern and larger than the pictures depict. We swam in the pool every other day and we were always alone! Finally, we were impressed with the overall vibe throughout the complex. It was quiet, clean and felt private. The only negative is the townhome location in relation to the street below. The street is not especially busy, but expect a little vehicle noise at various times. Overall, it was an excellent townhome, and we will not hesitate staying again!
