The condo was very comfortable and conveniently located to a small shopping center, grocery store, many restaurants, and short drive into Kona. The place was clean and well furnished, a few things could be updated but nothing major. The whole resort was very well maintained. The views from inside the condo and from the spacious lanai were amazing! The property manager was thorough in providing details on how to enter the resort and the condo, sending out multiple emails and keeping me informed. Bottom line, YES I would stay here again!

This was our third stay at this condo property with each stay having been a corner unit on the third floor. We have stayed in Unit 1-306 twice and this unit (1-301) once and most recently. The virtue of both units is that they are corner units with high ceilings and a commanding view of the seafront north and south. The beauty of both units is that the ocean waves crash into the lava rock below only 100 feet or so from the deck. It is wonderful to be in such immediate and safe proximity to the crashing waves, large or small. This property is also within easy driving distance of most a...

This marks our 4th stay at 187 and it consistently delivers a great vacation experience.

This trip we had a few days of high surf which was pretty exciting. From the second floor windows you get to see the breakers roll in and crash on the lava rock below and occasionally spill onto our lanai. Security is good, maintenance is excellent and the tennis and pool facilities are well appreciated. Definitely coming back.

The condo unit itself is old and could use some upgrades and TLC in so many areas: drawers don't close in bathroom and bedside tables so they always hang open; the slider screen doors squeak very loudly when opened/closed; the sink garbeurator really does not work - the food remains in the sink; the carpet throughout appeared vacuumed and relatively clean but extremely worn out; the linen closet door in the main bathroom does...

My husband and I really like this unit and have stayed there twice. It has a great ocean view, and you can hear the waves crashing on the lava in front. The unit is extremely well appointed with everything you need in the kitchen, including a huge array of spices. There are beach towels and chairs, etc. in the closet of the 2nd bedroom. It is obvious, though, that people have lived in the unit, and the carpet is badly stained. One of the sliding glass doors is hard to use. To us, these are not deal-breakers because it feels like a beach house. It feels like home.

It’s a great location and I love the Surf and Racquet Club. They do such a wonderful job on the grounds and keeping the pool and courts nice. I am giving the condo a 5 because it is such a great spot with the ocean right out the lanai. It does need some work though and recommend the carpets be cleaned and the kitchen rug thrown out. It’s time to go through the pots and pans, silverware and utensil drawers and clean out old stuff and generally get rid of the clutter. It’s hardly a deal breaker- the spot is wonderful. And yes I would rent it again in a heartbeat.

The condo was absolutely STUNNING! You can’t ask for a closer condo to the ocean, cleaner space, modern amenities and beautiful shared space on the entire island of Hawaii. I am so glad we booked this trip as a headquarters for a surprise birthday for my mom who was staying at a local resort. She loved enjoying her birthday dinner on the balcony and now looks forward to renting the space for an entire month sometime in 2023! Will definitely be back.

Great condo! Nice and quiet. Open the sliding doors and there's the ocean. The condo was nice and clean and had several additional amenities that were useful including beach chairs, fins, umbrella. Was nice having some spices and condiments also. We couldn't find the beach towels however they were delivered right away. Would recommend this place for some relaxation.

We enjoyed our 11 nights at 2-102. The location is perfect. We saw more whales from the lanai than on the whale watch excursion. Btw, they would come by our area looking for whales. We had everything that we needed for our time there. As previously stated, the condo could use some upgrades especially in the kitchen area. If we lived closer to Hawaii, this would be where we returned yearly.

Our first trip to Hawaii was made so great by staying at this condo. The view of the ocean and the sunsets were wonderful. Our host was most gracious and thoughtful by leaving a basket of fruit and goodies from a local organic farm that lasted us all week. (We even sought out the farm stand at the Framer’s Market up the street on Saturday). The condo is spacious, a kitchen that has all you need. The condo location was great, quiet at night, but easy to get anywhere you wanted during the day. The pool is a great place to be when you don’t want to leave via car. It was a great place to stay!

Our family of four stayed there for our family vacation. It was the best decision I have made for the trip! The ocean view is amazing. Even if we have to stay inside and not go anywhere else, I would be happy! 😁😁 It’s close to places we wanted to go, easy access to restaurants, shave ice (priority for my son). It has everything we need inside. And it’s in a nice, quiet and safe gated community. We will be back!

We loved this condo from the moment we walked in the door! Beautifully upgraded in warm spacious decor. You couldn't get closer to the surf while enjoying the large wrap around lanai and private location. A well stocked kitchen makes cooking a breeze, plus things like beach towels, ice chests were appreciated. Probably the only negatives would be the BBQ area provided by the complex which needs to be closer and better maintained. I would highly recommend this condo!

The condo was perfect for my daughter, my 1 year old grandson and me for the 10 days we were in Kona. All the amenities were present. Excellent support from the property manager arranging for delivery & pick-up for the crib & high chair we rented and when we had issues with the TV. Also the morning we were leaving, the parking lot closet to us was closed for tree trimming, but arrangements were made for us to leave our vehicle overnight so we could load up in the morning and I wouldn't have to walk so far to get to the car (I use a cane). The pool is wonderful for a young child!...

We had a wonderful time staying at this condo. The owner was punctual and provided us with all the information about the condo each step of the way. This particular condo was nice, because it was tastefully remodeled and had an open feel. We visited another building within the same club, and they weren't as nice. The lanai is big and private. The other buildings were much closer together, so there wasn't much privacy.

The apartment had pretty much everything we could ask for - in addition to the fully equipped kitchen, we were pleasantly surprised by the beach chairs and boogie boards. The supermarket was right next door, and all locations in Kona were a short drive away. Easy ocean access from the condo area would have been a great plus, but the closest beach was anyway only a 10 minute walk away. Loved the sunsets from the lanai!

The only thing to improve the venue is to put a really nice sandy beach nearby. That said, it would just move the crowds to our backdoor and take away from the peaceful setting.

The condo is very close to the ocean so if you are a light sleeper I would not recommend staying here. All I can say is us girls had a wonderful time.

Though this unit is not the most luxurious and upgraded place to stay, it is a great value for the price and has everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. There are some very minor maintenance issues that could be addressed, but overall we would book this condo again. The owner was responsive and accessible, and the rate leaves plenty of funds for enjoying the Kona Coast. The location of the condos and the view from the second floor deck makes it all worthwhile. If they could only get the homeowners to put in a spa by the pool... For a great deal, book this place.

The lanai stretches the whole length of the side and has nice furniture on it. Sitting on the lanai, you're probably 30 feet from the very rocky (so no one will be swimming in front of the condo) shore. So you get to go to sleep to the sound of the ocean. Free wireless internet too. The only downside is that there's no A/C. But with the windows and doors open on both sides you get a great cross breeze

The condo was beautiful, comfortable and well equipped. Even though we had seen photos and videos before we went, none of that really prepared us for how nice it was! We truly enjoyed being so close to the water, the rocks and the crashing waves. To have our bedroom right there off the generously sized lanai overlooking the water was an extraordinary experience we will never forget. We fell asleep to and heard those ocean sounds all night, waking to them the next morning! We have raved to everyone how really great that was. What an experience!

We were very happy with our choice of this condo. We loved the ocean front setting. We spent lots of time sitting out on the balcony playing cards and drinking smoothies we made from fruit we bought at the outdoor market. The condo was very spacious for our family of 4. The location was nice - just south of the more crowded tourist area of Kona. If we were to visit the Big Island again we would not hesitate to rent this condo.

This condo is in the perfect location in the complex...a short stroll to the pool and barbeques. We found it extremely clean and well-kept. The views from our lanai couldn't be beat. We saw whales every day and a pod of dolphins. The grounds are beautiful and our morning bird visitors were so cute! The condo was nicely furnished and had everything we required...right down to the beach towels and sand mats. We lots of dishes, glassware and cooking appliances. There were a few things that need attention; toilet runs in 2nd bathroom; mirror on vanity should be replaced or fixed, and, ...

My family really enjoyed staying at this condo. The pool is close and we could watch the sunset every evening. I especially enjoyed listening to the waves while drifting off to sleep. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and it all worked very smoothly.

This condo is big - plenty of room to spread out. We especially enjoyed that both the living room and bedroom faced the ocean so we always had a view of the water and fell asleep to the sound of the waves. We spent most of our time on the lanai which is both long and wide with table & chairs and 2 loungers. Spectacular sunsets with the waves crashing on the black lava rocks only feet from the building. The bathrooms and kitchen have recently been updated and we found both clean and well stocked. The condo complex's position in Keauhou means it is close to great snorkeling and shopp...

Exactly as advertised! Anytime we go back to Kona I will not stay anywhere else. It was fantastic! The owner's could not have been more helpful.
