Condo 7-106 | Kona Coast Resort

We enjoyed this fabulous "home away from home"

Mary Schoemann from Fountain Valley on 08/09/2010 said:

“ This condo has everything one would want in a vacation home. It is beautifully decorated and in a great location within the resort. The pool, tennis courts and BBQ are a stones throw away. We took great pictures of the magnificent Hawaiian sunsets from the upstairs lanai. Three fresh fish meals were prepared (mahi mahi and ono we caught deep sea fishing) in their well stocked kitchen. We ate breakfast every morning on the lovely lanai and relaxed here many evenings. We would definitely recommend this fabulous condo to our friends and family. ”

“ we were delighted with the condo - linens were adequate in quality and amount - kitchen was well stocked with above average utensils - beach equipment was very good with umbrellas, bogey board, snorkeling equipment - quiet pool was very close - the only negative had to do with the personnel at the large pool and bar - they were not friendly and service was less than adequate - we only went there one time due to this ”

The Bakers from Ventura, CA on 05/31/2010 said:

“ Had a spur of the moment chance to get away and meet up with family in Kona. Condo was very nice, quiet, well located for access to the rest of the island. Weather was great and we visited the volcano. Had some good meals at various restruants in the area and some wonderful homecooked meals as well. Would love to have a chance to visit and stay there again. . ”

A True Aloha Experience

Overall rating:
Pat from Hutchinson, MN on 03/25/2010 said:

“ Four of our family members stayed in Fred & Bonnie's beautiful condo for 9 days in early March 2010. It made our trip truly delightful. The rental process and securing our key was a snap. The condo is spacious, convenient, very well stocked, comfortable and what we all considered having the "true Aloha" feeling. We spent as much time on the large lanai as in the house...coffee & tea in the morning, reading, relaxing & listening to music and cocktails in the evening. The artwork and decorations added an authentic spirit of old and new Hawaii. Having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was an added luxury we all enjoyed and the rental rate was the best bargain I have experienced in many, many years! As you may be gathering, there was nothing left wanting in any way...we even had partial views of the ocean; what more could anyone ask for. Thank you Fred and Bonnie for making our long awaited trip an absolute joy! ”

This condo is hands-down the nicest place we have ever stayed

Overall rating:
Winter Escapees from Ann Arbor, Michigan on 03/20/2010 said:

“ This huge, beautiful, spacious condominium was truly one of the main highlights of our trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. We have been to Kauai and Maui before, and many other places in Australia, Europe, Canada, and the U.S., but this was the nicest place the four of us have stayed, particularly as we prefer to make most of our own meals, and also like the privacy of a condo rental as compared to a hotel. The rooms are large and comfortable; the kitchen and the rest of the condo have about every amenity one can imagine; it is very clean; the bathrooms are large and beautifully updated; it is tastefully decorated with local artwork displayed throughout; and there is a large porch or lanai (where we would take breakfast at dawn), that has a great view of the ocean and the perfectly maintained gardens at the Kona Coast Resort. The facility is close to, but not inside, the city of Kailua-Kona, and has nearby shopping available. This location also provides an excellent base for visiting the many attractions and activities up and down the western coast of the Big Island. (Where there always seems to be a sunny spot to find, if you look for it. We like to visit beaches and take 2-4 hour hikes.) I don't think we could have asked for a nicer location or facility. You can't go wrong here. In addition, the local representative was very helpful with our getting situated upon our arrival. Both he and the owners were also very helpful, understanding and considerate on the morning of our checkout, when we were jolted out of bed at 5 or 6 AM by tsunami warning sirens, following the earthquake in Chile the day before. They offered the possibility for us to stay over if need be, should the tsunami create a disaster, or make it impossible to take our flight later that day. While we waited and watched with thousands of others for 'the big wave', in the end it never materialized, and we went on our way as planned. Nevertheless, we greatly appreciated this act of thoughtfulness. ”

lovedhawaii from Chattanooga, TN on 03/07/2010 said:

“ This condo has everything you could possibly need or want on a vacation. If you like to have the option to stay in and cook, the kitchen has every essential you can think of and then some (there is also a grill right outside). All the conveniences of home with a Hawaiian twist. There is a GORGEOUS lanai (outdoor patio) with a table for sharing meals and conversation - complete with tiki lights for the ultimate Hawaiian feel. There is a full grocery store within minutes and at least two local markets right nearby as well where you can get fresh fruits, vegetables etc. If you like to go out, there are plenty of restaurants close by and the owners even have a book of restaurant recommendations and descriptions (along with things to do, etc). The condo is centrally located in Kona yet the grounds are lush, peaceful and tropical. It's situated on a golf course on the water with impeccable grounds. There are several swiming pools and they are never crowded. Perfect for families or couples looking for peace and quiet since there are several options to pick from on the property. I can't think of a single negative thing about our stay except it wasn't nearly long enough! I would higly recommend this condo. It's gorgeous, it's clean, it's comfortable. It's the perfect Hawaiian get-a-way. ”

“ The setting and location were wonderful. The condo had everything we could possibly need for cooking, going to the beach, playing tennis, making fresh squeezed juice, blending fruit drinks, grilling on the grill, playing games, books for reading, etc. Another couple went with us and enjoyed it as well as we did. It was very spacious and comfortable, as well as the beds being comfortable. We liked everything about it. There was nothing we didn't like. We would definitely stay there again. ”

Dr. Kristi Karambolova from Toronto Canada on 01/24/2010 said:

“ The villa corresponded to the description very well. Clean, spacious, thoughtfully arranged ie. books, music discs, games,tourist info included, beach material, welcome basket - very nice touches. Should be added to your description as part of the package. Would add a map with details to the closest shopping mall and their working hours. We came at 11 pm after a 15 hour flight and wasted 2 hrs in the dark looking to buy milk and cereal for the kids for breakfast in the morning. For a fee may be you could do some basic shopping for late arrivals as we were? The entire resort was very quiet and very well organized. Will recommend without hesitation. ”

“ Staying in this condo made us feel like we were in our own home. The condo is beautifully decorated and sparkling clean. The furnishings are elegant yet comfortable. We were able to cook meals there every day, since the kitchen was well appointed, having everything we needed. The grocery store is conveniently located nearby. We stayed with two other couples, so each couple had their own bedroom and private bath. We started each day with a pleasant breakfast on the lanai. We appreciated the beach "toys" and supplies that were furnished and we enjoyed our days snorkeling at the nearby beach. Almost daily were were in the swimming pool which was right next door and enjoyed the privacy since very few people used the pool and hot tub there. The setting is very quiet and private. We look forward to joining our friends there again.....we highly recommend this condo as your home away from home in Hawaii. ”

Picturesque restful location

Overall rating:
Michigan vacationer from Ann Arbor, Michigan on 01/21/2010 said:

“ While there is additional sleeping arrangements that would be adequate for children, the three full bedrooms with adjoining baths perfectly accommodated the three adult couples sharing the unit. Although the resort does not have it's own beach, a very short walk away there is an incredible lagoon perfect for sunbathing, swimming and snorkeling and the pool directly across the drive from the condo became a regular evening retreat. The little touches of artwork and outstanding added amenities beyond the norm provided by the owners made wine & cheese on the lanai following our dips in the pool into delightful evening events. Unobstructed views of breathtaking sunsets and active blow holes are another short walk from the condo. The resort is beyond a comfortable walking distance from Kona, so a car is useful if one wishes to utilize the shops and restaurants. The owners left directions to a number of their favorite places on the island - which turned into some of our favorites as well. ”

Paulette family from Sweden on 01/14/2010 said:

“ Thanks you for the privilege of living in your condo! We had a fantastic time. Everything was in perfect shape when we arrived and the area around the condo was wonderful - relaxed, well-maintained perfect for evening strolls. The whole atmosphere of the condo itself made it feel more like coming home than coming to a rental -- except better. Good taste! You have obviously put a lot of thought to making your guests comfortable and our stay rewarding. As others have mentioned, your very personal "guide books" to the island were a big help in finding things we might otherwise have missed. We also loved having both a snorkeling beach and a good supermarket in easy walking distance (but not so close as to cause us any traffic). ”

My stay at Kona Coast Resort Condo 7-106 was Awesome

Alberda and Family from Bellflower, california on 10/20/2009 said:

“ The service was great. The Condo had everything one could possibly need. There was a leek under the kitchen sink, but it was taken care of immediately. I like the fact that there was plenty of space (very roomy)The decor was nice and the Condo was clean. The location was great; close to shopping and entertainment. I would love to stay in Condo 7-106 again on my next trip to the Big Island. Mahalo! ”

Manager response:

“ Bonnie and I are concerned that cleanliness got a lower rating, although it is mentioned by the guest that the unit was clean.

If there is one thing we pride ourselves on, it is the quality of the cleaning service that we have retained. Perhaps this was a lapse so we have forwarded the rating comment to the cleaning staff. We note that all prior reviews give 5 stars to cleanliness.

We are also pleased that the leak was quickly repaired. Breakdowns happen in any home and we are lucky to have a wonderful on-site manager to take care of problems.

Bonnie and I agree with the Alberda family that (whenever we visit this Hawaii home of ours) we think, wow this place is awesome. A refuge of quiet tropical comfort.

Wonderful stay

Overall rating:
atty1tx from Amarillo, TX on 08/22/2009 said:

“ Our two small families of three (parents and 2 college-aged daughters) were very comfortable in this 3 bedrm/3bth condo. Every morning, we enjoyed the comfortable covered patio for coffee and breakfast, listening to the birds and ocean. In the evenings, we would end up in those same comfortable patio chairs again, discussing our day. Very quiet resort. Seldom heard the neighbors. We would definitely stay here again. Reservation and arrival process: Very easy and efficient. They acknowledged the deposit and subsequent payment with plenty of detail in the statement. Prompt reply to our email asking questions. They provided excellent directions from the airport. Not hard to find and check-in was a breeze. The condo: Very clean, well-maintained, fresh, and modern. Lots of windows and light. Beautiful art and nice furniture. Ceiling fans in all rooms. It is a fully equipped home--linens, towels, kitchen appliances, dishes & utensils, washer/dryer, tv, stereo, CDs, books, games, and beach toys. Truly, all you need to bring is your clothes and food! (There is a supermarket and drug store less than 5 minute away.) It took only a moment to figure out the a/c controls in each living area. There is a community gas grill just a few steps away. Resort: The girls enjoyed the pools. We did not use other facilities, but the golf course looked great and we heard good things about the restaurant. Location: On the west side of the island, so it is a bit of a drive southeastward to the volcano national park, or northward to a bay we wanted to visit for swimming. The condo is just a 10 minutes to a cluster of other resort hotels, some of which offer luaus. Negatives: Hard to find any negative. Condo parking was a tad awkward, but near the front door. A disabled person could use the first floor bdrm/bath & kitchen, but would have difficulty with split level first floor to the patio & living rm, and of course, stairs to second floor. The area roads are good, but traffic stacks up. ”

“ We stayed at Fred and Bonnie's condo in Kona. It was very nice. The condo was updated and very clean. The extras (kitchen equipment and supplies, snorkeling equipment, towels, etc.) were great. We had one minor problem with an air conditioning unit. I called on the way out for the day and it was repaired by the time we returned in the afternoon. We also had a unit from Shell Vacations in the same building and I'd go for Fred and Bonnie's every time. I'd definitely recommend staying there. ”

“ This condo is great and the owner (Bonnie and Fred) is very helpful. I wrote a note to the guest book at the condo as follows: Aug 23, 2008 Dear Bonnie and Fred We had a great time at your wonderful condo. A lot of extras were very helpful for us. This is our second time staying at Kona Coast Resort. Your condo is much better than the condo where we stayed last time. We want to stay at your condo when we come to the Big Island next time. My daughters were very happy to swim in the beautiful sea with many fishes and to see turtles at Kahalu'u Beach Park. One more thing. I was very impressed by your hospitality. Every time I asked a question by email you answered it very quickly and your reply was always sincere and helpful. Thank you for your friendly support. ”

“ Fred and Bonnie's Condo was the most FABULOUS place anyone could stay in! 3 beautiful bedrooms, 3 baths that have just been remodeled. Wonderful kitchen, living room, dining. Just EVERYTHING about it was great. I have stayed on this property before, but , by far 7106 Fred and Bonnie's has been the BEST. Fully equipped with everything. The property is wonderful, great pools, jacuzzi's tennis, you name it they have it. Plus it is only 10 minutes from downtown. You can drive the whole island in a day. You are down the street from a main shopping center.............the list goes on and on. Do yourselves all a favor , book Bonnie and Steve's condo 7106, in fact play the number in the lotto! It's a GOOD number :-) I can't wait to get back! ”
