The best time of our lives

My girlfriend and I stayed at this amazing property and could not write a more glowing review. The view, the sound of the crashing waves, the unbeleivably convenient location (definitely eat at Lava Java!) and Cami set everything up perfectly. We can’t wait to return and would recommend this condo to everyone It is truly a wonderful experience.

Great location

Pros: Location to town was amazing! Accommodations good. Condo as described. Communication was excellent. Cooler and chairs for use was fantastic. Great parking spot. Cons: Pool was not clean with cockroaches and other bugs floating in it, so could not swim at all. Kitchen (cupboards, plates, utensils) need deep cleaning, had to buy Clorox wipes for sticky surfaces and rewash any dishes we planned to use.

Perfect Stay

This is my first time staying at a VRBO. The communication with the owner Jan was incredibly easy. She responded quickly and offered much needed advice for my first time visit to Kona. The condo was very clean and well-kept up. The bed was very comfortable. The view was stunning! The sound of the waves crashing on the rocks was quite relaxing. It could not have been more perfect!

Konamazing was fantastic!

The location of this condo is awesome. The view from the lanai is beautiful. There is not a beach but watching and listening to the waves crash on the shore is wonderful. We walked everywhere because everything is so close. Having a designated parking spot was great.The condo is clean, nicely furnished and really cute. It was perfect for my husband and I. Jan and Cami were great to work with. They even left us a bottle of champagne with chilled champagne glasses and nice card to help celebrate our anniversary. The bamboo sheets are amazing, I think I need some at home! The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. The shower has plenty of water pressure. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you for your hospitality!

Nice place to visit Kona

The view from the condo is amazing. The condo is a short walk to nearby restaurants and stores. We walked to gelato everyday, which was very tasty (they change a couple flavors out everyday). The condo building itself is pretty old, but the unit is in pretty decent shape. The central AC is down, but there is a portable AC unit in the bedroom and one in the living room. The portable ac unit in the living room connects to the balcony slider door, so the door does not lock. The unit is on the second floor, so probably not a huge deal, but it made us a little uncomfortable. The balcony is a nice little spot to drink coffee in the morning and enjoy the waves. We got an acai breakfast (also a very short walk away) twice on our trip and probably would have had more if we discovered it sooner... It is amazing. Overall we had a great time and would come back. Thank you!

Issues with cleanliness, security and mold

We accidentally made our reservation with a Thursday check in for 2 nights, instead of Wednesday. Jan said we could move our reservation up a day, if we would pay more for Wednesday, which was fine. The day before check in, as instructed we called the property manager, Cami and left her a voicemail. The next day we still hadn’t heard from Cami, so we messaged Jan and only then did we finally receive the instructions via text from Cami. We also let Jan know that our flight was delayed, which she said wasn’t a problem. We arrived at the property and left almost immediately, due to health and safety concerns. There was black mold in the shower, the dishwasher had thick black mold around the filter, the air vents were extremely dirty, and the sliding patio door couldn't be locked or secured due to a portable a/c unit that was attached. We arrived at 8 pm, left by 8:20 and immediately reached out to Cami and sent pictures. We also sent Jan a message through VRBO. Once again, Cami never responded, and Jan didn’t reply until 4 am. Jan’s response essentially stated that we never reached out to Cami, and it was our choice not to stay in the condo. She said we should have allowed them to fix the issues. (Again, we left the condo at 8:20 pm and could not reach Cami or Jan. The first response we got back was 7-8 hours later.) We had everything documented with texts, emails and photos and thankfully VRBO was able to resolve the issue for us.

They gave us advice on things to do as well! The place was lovely - quiet and peaceful with the perfect view of the ocean and the pool. It had every amenity we needed for our week-long stay.

Our Favourite VRBO So Far

This was our best experience with VRBO so far. The property was immaculately clean, the hosts were helpful and responsive, and the location is unbeatable. Check in was seamless and the hosts did their best to accommodate us on a late arrival and some minor schedule changes. I also have to say that this unit was very tastefully decorated. We were very impressed with the furnishings and style including the owner’s own photography hung on the walls. We had two young children sleeping on the hide-a-bed sofa. It was among the most comfortable fold-out sofas I’ve seen and the hosts made sure to make it up with fresh bedding for us. We were vacationing with family who were staying in the same complex, and while their experience was very positive as well, I would say that the small details made our stay even better. I would recommend this property to anyone.

This condo is located in the perfect spot to give you access to all that Kailua-Kona has to offer. So many restaurants, shops, all right along the water. The view from the lanai is spectacular and you can sit and watch the boogie boarders (and surfers) all day because they start at the crack of dawn and don’t go home until dark! The area is very quiet and you’re located right next to the Royal Kona which has a great place to watch the sunset right out front. Thanks for a great place to stay!

Air condition issues

The condo was everything we hoped, and everything was as listed EXCEPT the complex's main air conditioning system was not operational (a part was on order . . .) It really was no problem for us, but maybe other guests might feel differently. We still gave the condo a 5 star rating since it was a lovely place to stay.
