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).
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!
Keahou is a place my wife and I frequent. Great location and close proximity to stores. Well kept and inviting condo. Thank you
Great location, close to good snorkeling and a short drive to Kona. The place was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Excellent communication with the hosts. Our son loved the pools.
This is a delightful apartment with beautiful views from the lanai towards the ocean. Equipped to the highest possible standard and the owners couldn't be more helpful. The resort is quiet, has lovely tropical grounds and has two beautiful pools. Location is convenient with a shopping centre and restaurants close by. i enjoyed our short stay very much and recommend this apartment very highly.
Easy drive from airport and nice not to worry about needing much our first night. Close to good restaurants and able to take care our shopping needs before heading to our destination on the Hilo side.
We have stayed in this complex before but not this unit. Everything you would want in a place to stay in the big island. One note is I asked the property management prior to our trip about a cooler, chairs and umbrella. They told me #104 had none of these. Wrong, it has all of these items as well as biggie boards and snorkel gear. We would stay here again which is the true testament of a property review!
Excellent
Easy and quiet place to stay. Everything you need for a pleasant vacation. Clean, quiet and convenient. If you are looking for a party, noise and tons of people pass on this one. The pool and grounds are well maintained.
The unit was as described and equipped with the touches and qualities just as I would select if I were furnishing the condo. Great space to relax in and use as a landing spot between all the activities in the area. Close to everything and nice, quiet pool area for breaks after busy days in the Kona area. Top rated in all aspects and we will stay here again when we're in Kona.
Good location. Excellent views from the Lanai. Well maintained inside and out. Met all of our needs.
