The management company was easy to get in n touch with, but we didn't need anything during our stay. The breeze s kept the unit cool, and there were comfortable blankets if needed. Nice and close to beaches for a great day out, and a great himebase for days spent hiking. 10/10, we'd certainly stay here again! "

Luxurious Oceanfront Penthouse Condo Air Conditioned. Sleeps 4

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (242)
"Location, location, location. I doubt there is a better view from anywhere else on the Kona coast. Directly down from our third floor corner room we watched fish swimming in The waves every morning. White sands beach is steps away and the host provided everything we needed for swimming, snorkeling and lounging on the beach. The place is a little old and shows its age, but I wouldn’t let that deter me a moment from coming back. Absolutely fantastic!!"
