I wish I could give more than 5 stars. First of all, the hosts were super friendly and communicative, and actively tried to accommodate our needs. Check-in info was thorough, and provided early, so I felt prepared when we arrived (very important to me since I stress very easily while traveling!). The location of the building couldn't get any better - cool and shady lanai most of the day, perfect sunset view, the sound of the waves filling the condo, schools of yellow tangs visible in the water below, whales and dolphins to watch just off shore - and when you step out of the building, you only have to walk a few steps to get to food and shopping. There is a gorgeous ocean-front Luau (Voyagers of the Pacific) at the Royal Kona resort only a block away. The condo itself is once of the nicest places I have every had the pleasure of renting - it really felt like Brett and Diane were opening their home to us. All of the furnishings are extremely high-end and meticulously kept. You can tell this is a place the owners are proud of, and we did our best to treat everything with care and respect as their guests. They keep a guest book full of suggestions for places to eat and things to do from other guests, which was useful to us more than once. We could not have dreamed of a better place to stay in Kona, and I will definitely try to stay here again in the future!
