Stunning view and surrounded by plenty of things to do and nothing but paradise. Love it and we will be back again for sure!

This was by far the best AirBnB house we ever stayed (and stayed in a quite few!).

Beautiful place with fully remodeled rooms, very clean, and amazing location. There were clear instructions for checkin and checkout, great communication, and well stocked kitchen with the essentials. Highly recommended

we enjoyed eating out on the lanai. While we did not have kids with us, the beach right outside the condo is perfect for families with small children, as a rock wall keeps strong waves out and the water was only about waist deep. Small tip: when we checked in, we couldn't figure out why the AC wouldn't work. After several minutes we found out the lanai sliding door was left slightly ajar by the last guests or cleaning crew. Sensors on the doors prevent the AC from starting if they're not closed all the way! read less

We really enjoy our stay here. Breakfast and coffee on the lanai each morning was perfect.

The unit was perhaps the best supplied Airbnb we have stayed at…lots of dishes, silverware, cookware, food storage, towels, beach towels, beach gear, even a small first aid kit. A car is not needed for shopping and restaurants as these are all within walking distance. We walked to the Safeway for groceries which was about a mile away. A car is needed if you want to go to a beach as there wasn’t much of one within the town. We would definitely stay here again. read less

Only a couple of quibbles Many of the appliances needed updating. The microwave had a crack in it. The toaster required you turning it on its side and using a fork to get the toast out. Cheap simple fixes.

Two things struck me as somewhat odd. The doors were all slatted, which I’m sure is for air flow and helps with the humidity, but means you can basically hear everyone in every part of the house all the time. No noise privacy.

Another was the house is two bed two bath but also has a loft sleeping area and a den sleeping area, however both bathrooms are in the bedrooms, so if you have additional guests, not staying in the bedrooms, they’d need to come into the bedroom to use the bathroom - behind a door that’s 0% noise canceling.

If you had people on different sleeping schedules this could be a particularly significant inconvenience.

Also the two master bedrooms are right next to each other, so if you’re sleeping in one bedroom you can still hear everything going on in the other, even with both doors shut. It definitely cuts down on the romance factor!

But overall, still a solid place. Well kept up. read less

Great spot on a great beach for our final night on Maui. Disappointed that the restaurant was closed but not a bid deal. Would stay again.

Everything was as described. Great location. The view is really amazing. Loved the sun sets. Wish we could have stayed longer. They had chairs , umbrellas , Snorkeling equipment & lots more.

The road outside was relatively quiet and the lanai offers a marvelous view of the ocean and the stunning sunsets. The pool and deck area in the complex has been recently updated and are a delight. Also the other residents in this small complex are very friendly and helpful, as were the members of the management company who unfortunately we had to contact several times.

Whilst we enjoyed our stay there, the apartment is clearly tired and in need of some maintenance. The doors to the lanai don't close/lock, a plastic pole and mop handle are used to secure them. The front grilled security door was also impossible for us to lock, we had to rely on the inner door. Several lights/lamps didn't work, probably bulbs in need of replacement. Also the main microwave didn't work and this was replaced by the management company within a few days, although we discovered there is a second microwave in the apartment.

Cleanliness was our biggest issue with the property, especially given the considerable cleaning fee being charged on our booking. When we arrived we removed our shoes on entry as requested and within 15 minutes the soles of our feet were black with dirt. Initially thinking this was down to the lanai, we hunted for a mop and bucket and washed it ourselves, but the problem persisted when walking about indoors. The management company sent cleaners the next day which did improve the problem, but it never fully went away - we wonder if the sponge mats in the kitchen have ever been washed as we suspect them of being the main cause.

Another frustrating detail was the lack of any instructions on the apartment, such as how to use the various appliances (cooker, washing machine etc), the air-con, the TV (we had to hunt in drawers for the correct remote), where to take the trash, how to access the pool etc. We had to work everything out ourselves through trial and error.

The owners are in the process of trying to sell the apartment, a fact that was brought home to us when a realtor with potential buyers let herself into the apartment and told us we were not supposed to be there! This made us feel very uncomfortable.

The apartment has great potential but we get the feeling the owners have given up on maintaining it as they try to sell it. read less

The pictures don’t do this place justice. We saw a turtle just a few yards down the beach. It’s in a great location to anything you want to do on the island. Great little local spots nearby. It was very quite and the artwork inside is amazing.

The location is great, the road noise isn’t really too bad, you have the ocean noise also, which is almost as loud. They have a brand new pool and pool deck area that is lovely and comfortable, full sunlight almost the entire day and the best part of this property is the neighbors, the owners that live in the complex are so welcoming and nice. It’s a small complex, so I’m sure they want to know who’s staying, parking, hanging out, but really a nice community.
The interior of the condo was dated, but comfortable enough. They kitchen was sparsely supplied, I had to borrow a few things from the nice neighbors, ie…a working can opener.
There was some confusion upon my checkin. I was able to check in on time and with the appropriate information. However, I did receive people coming to the condo for an “open house”, apparently it had recently been put on the market and the seller/agent arranged an “open house” that had perhaps been advertised with the incorrect time or date???
Still unclear.
When I arrived the condo was quite dirty, several areas needed to be taken care of the washing machine was had mold inside, from being closed and a strong odor, no paper products (TP, paper kitchen towels….), I reread my contract, then seeing that they were supposed to supply, at least a starter amount of paper products, I called. AA quickly apologized and sent someone to replenish those items.
I cleaned the inside of the washing machine myself, after visiting the store of course to obtain supplies.
This cleaning worked just fine, after that the machine worked great.
Towards the end of my visit, I contacted AA to let them know how that I had to go to my own expense and time to purchase products, clean and continue to clean (dirty dishes in cupboards), during my stay. Upon hearing my concerns and what I had been dealing with, they returned my cleaning fee to me. With having to do that, hopefully you they upgraded their cleaning services.
One other thing is that was very disappointing or frustrating, was there were no instructions in the condo for anything, where to take the trash, how to find the pool, how to use the TV, there were three different microwaves (I kept wondering, do some of these not working and I shouldn’t be using????), light switches, (Website hidden by Airbnb) that was a bit weird.
I kind of felt like maybe this wasn’t set up to be a STVR, but the owner decided to hire someone to do it one day and did no prep…. read less

The only thing is the building only has one elevator, the closest entrance from assigned parking space only has stairs, and since the condo is on the 4th floor, it’s not easily accessible by elderly and disabled. You’ll have to go around to use the elevator. The living room doesn’t have the best lighting, it needs more lights, they only have a tall lamp, which is not enough for a good size living room. Having a community pool is a great addition since my kids like to swim a lot. Overall a good stay. read less

Great location! Love that it’s so close to the best beaches, an ABC store, & not too far a walk from loads of restaurants. I’d definitely stay there again!

Kitchen was well stocked with accessories.

There is a portable air conditioner, however it was hardly used because of the breeze that filtered the condo.

Condo is just a few miles from shopping and restaurants on Ali'i Drive. The grocery store is also just a few miles.

We had a pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this location. read less

Great location, right across the street from the beach, AAA rentals are very easy to deal with, would absolutely rent from them again

Well equipped, super clean apartment with excellent views of the ocean and in a perfect spot in the middle of Kona

We stayed with my family of 4. You have a wide and clear view of the sunsets from this condo. Loads of outdoor space for both lounging and outdoor table. Would enjoy returning and recommending this location to friends/family.

We were also close enough to walk to some good sandy beaches. There was an issue of some onsight construction we were not made aware of when we booked but when I reported it, the company immediately refunded us $200 for the inconvenience . All in all a good stay at a very good value for it's location read less

Great location and wonderful amenities. We enjoyed breakfasts in the garden and sunsets in the pool. Can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful stay. The house had everything we needed. Very well equipped kitchen, and some great toys. The location is walking distance to a Keauhou shopping center and a marina, also farmer’s market on Wednesdays. Highly recommend!

Possibly the best location I have ever stayed at. Better than the pictures. Just to the right of the back slider is a big grass area with a coastal trail and a bird feeder that attracts parakeets. A one minute walk to the left is a beautiful sandy beach.
