Aloha, you have chosen not only beautiful, but safe place to stay. We are in a gated
***PARADISE...PARADISE...PARADISE *** WE JUST LOVE THIS LITTLE GEM AND YOU WILL TOO. This unit B-325, has the perfect location. We are on the third floor for fabulous ocean view and nobody overhead. NO STAIRS needed to get into the unit either. Just park and walk a few steps to the elevator. You can unload your car, (I like to borrow the cart from the laundry room) and just bring everything up to the condo without any stairs.....Please make sure to bring the cart back right away if you do borrow it. :)
Owning a piece of Hawaii has been a dream. We recently purchased this unit and have done updating and remodeling with new paint in all the rooms, new linens, flooring and bought a new king size comfy bed as well as other new furniture and decor. The living room has a flat screen tv, stereo, DVD player and added a new flat screen tv in the bedroom. The well stocked kitchen has a breakfast bar, dishes, beverage glasses, silverware, complete cooking utensils, a tea kettle, lettuce spinner, coffee grinder, blender, toaster, built in microwave, dishwasher, fridge, stove, oven., etc.We try to leave spices and whatever you find in the cupboard, feel free to use.
* There is free wireless internet where you can make free long distance calls to the US and Canada. Air conditioning is included.
We recently remodeled the bathroom with new fixtures, and glass block tiles.There are 2 doors for the bathroom, so if you have someone sleeping on the sleeper sofa in the living, you are able to close off your bedroom door to the bedroom. (Some of the units that are not remodeled, just have one door and everyone would have to come through the master bedroom to use the bathroom) There is a built in hairdryer and some toiletries available, as well as towels, of course and beach towels.
The bedroom's tropical touch is the added bamboo pole that has swagged island linen over the window.There are blinds for privacy. We recently purchased a new comfy king sized bed and all the linens. You can sleep with the windows open and fall asleep to the sound of the waves.There is an iron and ironing board in the bedroom closet.
* There are ceiling fans throughout.
*I love paying attention to every decorator detail to give the condo a very island ambience.
The living room has a a queen size sleeper sofa as well as a comfy chair and ottoman. We just upgraded the mattress and mechanisms in the sofa bed, using the best.
You can enjoy the lanai with table and 4 new chairs and cushions with gorgeous view of the ocean. You might spot whales or dolphins while enjoying your cocktails and meals.
The complex boasts 2 beautiful favorite is the ocean side salt pool I love it when the waves splash over the seawall. The grounds are meticulously manicured and have over 40 different varieties of hibiscus.There is a large covered pavilion and 3 large barbecues. Tables and chairs are both under the pavilion and out on the large patio that overlooks some breath taking scenery of both the sand beach, the ocean, and the pool and beautiful flowering trees and Paradise!We love the crossed tiki torches that are lit at night too.
One of the highlights at this complex are the friendly people that are drawn to the seawall every night at sunset where the conch shell (puu) is blown as the sunsets in the West.
We also Everyone staying there (owners and guests alike) are so friendly, you will experience a true feeling of Aloha.
*The condo comes with a cooler, beach towels and chairs, boogie boards. You can find them in the storage box on the lanai.
We feel we have one of the best locations,on the third floor (NO ONE OVERHEAD), near the elevator, with incredible ocean views.
It is really a fun place if you like to socialize in the evening or at the pool. But, it can also be a quiet and relaxing place as well.The seawall on the property is wonderful to sit and enjoy the ocean, the boats, cruise ships, dolphins and whales. I could sit there for hours.We enjoy hiking along the lava rocks at the adjoining properties and exploring new places.
We love walking in the morning. We are about a mile South of Kona town, so it is an easy walk where you can enjoy your morning coffee and perhaps walk to the pier where you can catch the trolly back to the condo. The trolley runs about every hour and a half.
If you head North, there are a couple beach access areas that we love to go to. One takes you to what is known as Turtle Beach. It is a small secluded beach with sand and shade....a photographers dream for sure. You have to get to the public beach access and walk across some lava that is behind 2 complexes to get there. This is near Living Stones Church (also recommend)
Another thing I would like to mention is the handy Convenience/Sundries store adjacent to the across the parking lot on Alii Drive. You can purchase your morning newspaper, or evening bottle of wine. The Keauhou Shopping Center is about 3 miles to the South and has a wonderful Saturday market, large KTA Grocery Store, Cinemas, Longs Drugs, Thai Restaurant, Subway, Friday night free hula shows, and so much more.

*Tropical Gardens with waterfall and fountain are the water features in addition to the 2 pools. There are lots and lots of tropical flowers, bushes, trees and plants. Our gardeners are amazing, as I have seen them shaking the bushes to get every loose leaf while taking care of grounds. It is so well manicured. Feel free to pick a hibiscus and put it behind your ear. :)

*Hawaiian sunsets. There is a lava wall to sit on and get some amazing photos.
We love to get up early and head down to the seawall with our morinng cup of coffee, sometimes even in the dark. It is wonderful to sit on the seawall and watch the sky as the sun lights things up behind you. Just paradise....
*Nearby hiking The neighboring property to the North is wonderful for morning hikes along the ocean's edge. To the South is another complex to walk through too. We love exploring all these areas. What I have found fascinating too is the natural salt water pool 2 complexes to the South along ocean's edge. The locals stand on the edge when high waves hit and are pushed into the pool. It is fun to watch.
We have such a passion for Hawaii that we love passing that "aloha spirit" onto all who have chosen to stay with us. I will provide you with my "fun to do" list too.
*Pack and Play and High Chair are now in the unit.

We recommend getting travel insurance. There are several companies out there. Some of our guests have used https://www.csatravelpro.com/
You can purchase insurance for you family thru CSA. I was given the number by VRBO. It is 800 348-9505
***WE ARE COMMITTED TO OUR GUESTS COMFORT AND ENJOYMENT ALWAYS. Also it says no cancellations, I will try very hard to re-rent the unit if you ever had to cancel due to a family illness, etc., I understand things happen. The reason I put no refund was because sometimes people would continue to shop for the best rate and cancel us out if they found something cheaper. I try to keep our rates reasonable and if you check other places, you will agree. You, as the guest comes first and foremost and our goal is to provide a wonderful place in paradise for you to stay at while providing you with our fun to do list with lots of great adventures. With aloha, Gail and Phil Eddy.
