About this property

ALOHA! Our Home Away from Home, for 2. Quiet, and on 1st floor.


Aloha! Welcome to our little piece of PARADISE! Our new custom built cabinets and island for food preparation were just competed July 2024.
If you love the feeling of being at home while you are on vacation, this is the place to be! Nothing better than staying in a location that is close to town, walkable to lots of restaurants, cocktails, and snorkel/swimming beaches. We welcome you to our "HOME AWAY FROM HOME". Our unit is on the 1st floor.
This unit is a vacation rental only. IT IS A NON-SMOKING property, INSIDE AND OUT.
Guests have full access to everything in the condo (with the exception, of anything stored and marked "Owners" ). The pool is at the oceanfront, and the BBQ Is located just above the pool area. You must buy your own charcoal. There is also a gated entry to the ocean for snorkeling.
Our condo has a Ring doorbell/camera at the front door for your security to make sure no one enters other than the renter. However, in the 25 years that we have owned our unit, we have never had a break-in to our unit. Feel safe!

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS

I always make contact with the guests before renting. Also, once they arrive, just to make sure everything is to their liking and there are no questions.

We co-own this condo with lifetime friends. We come from honest backgrounds. Professionally, the men were high school and college educators. I was an Investigator/ officer for the State of California and the other owner worked in the jewelry business and accounting. We respect and wish to have others respect our " HOME AWAY FROM HOME"!
Our lovely condo is well maintained for our guests. Please see our reviews! We have a partial ocean view from our lanai, and the pool is located oceanfront. We are just a 15-minute walk to the downtown area, with several restaurants, snorkeling beaches, and wonderful sunsets on the way for your evening walk.
Our fast secure WIFI, BEACH TOWELS, UMBRELLA, COOLER, and BEACH CHAIRS are there for your use. FREE parking is right behind the condo with only steps to our unit.
We also provide BATH SOAP, a HAIR DRYER, HAND MIRROR, and extras in the kitchen such as PAPER TOWELS and DISH SOAP. We do not provide coffee. We have a Keurig 1 pod coffee maker as well as a Mr. Coffee maker, in case you prefer to use ground coffee. Many guests leave behind, foil, saran wrap and sandwich bags. You may use them and we hope that you will be courteous and leave some behind for others to use as well.
Please join us for a relaxing stay in Paradise!

Please note, there is a 30 day cancellation period.

Clean cozy studio w ocean view perfect for a couple

Very cozy clean studio w comfortable king bed and ocean view for 6 night stay, short drive to Kona town, building pool is beautiful overlooking ocean, coffee shop next door, laundry room very convenient, ceiling fans help w heat, overall safe and cozy complex. Beach chairs & umbrella were provided, very kind. Unit could benefit from having a dehumidifier, meat thermometer, steak knives, tea kettle-a/c window unit is a little loud to sleep with & needs a cleaning-cars park on both sides of unit so anticipate some activity from headlights & noise plus busy walkway out front due to laundry room.

Hawaii Vacation

We came to Hawaii for our anniversary and had a great time. We loved the pool swim each morning and then off to a beach of our choice. We came back around dusk each night and cooked our dinner. It was quiet and relaxing.

One of our best vacations!

The condo met all our needs. Loved eating our meals on the private lanai as the sunset. We were able to see lots of whales and dolphins from the beautiful pool. Kona is a quaint town and within walking distance. We spent an amazing month here enjoying all the big island has to offer. I can't say enough about the condo and Hawaii!! Loved it!!

Gorgeous Clean Property Centrally Located

My son and I stayed in this property to celebrate his graduation from college. It was everything we expected and more. Communication with Judy was excellent. It was nice to have our own parking space. The beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of hot water and the pressure was good. Full kitchen with all the utensils, gas stove, coffee makers etc. We had an ocean view off the lanai. There is an AC unit that we used briefly the first day when we forgot to close the blinds. I would recommend this property at the highest level.

Stay on the Big Island

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. It was a home away from home. Working with the property owner was very good, great communication. We found the property very comfortable and the location was all that we expected. We very much enjoyed the pool for the complex. There were also many daily needs available in the condo, which made the stay even nicer. We would highly recommend staying at this property.
