🏝️ Tropical Condo 1/2 Block to the Snorkel Beach & Surf l 🐠 vrKVR

Experience the allure of the Kona Coast with a stay at this remarkable 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation rental condo. Infused with the spirit of aloha, this home offers both comfort and convenience. Decorated with care, it can comfortably accommodate four guests. Situated just a half-block away from Kahalu'u Beach Park, guests can bask in the beauty of the Pacific Ocean and soak up the warm Hawaiian sun.

This condo serves as the perfect launchpad for daily Hawaiian adventures, while its serene lanai provides an ideal spot to unwind with a glass of wine at day's end. Additionally, guests can take advantage of the pool, jacuzzi, and barbecue area during their stay.

The condo benefits from refreshing breezes that keep it cool, while the tropical landscaping outside adds to the tranquil atmosphere. Step onto the private lanai and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of Hawaii. Whether enjoying your morning Kona coffee or a sunset meal, the lanai offers a serene retreat with a peek-a-boo view of the pool.

As night falls, retire to the primary bedroom, featuring a king bed, en-suite bathroom, and access to the lanai. The second bedroom boasts a king-size bed and large windows offering views of the picturesque landscape.

Located in the heart of Kailua-Kona, guests can easily walk to the beach and explore activities such as dolphin and whale watching, scuba diving, and snorkeling. The vibrant Kahaluu neighborhood offers a blend of vacationers and locals alike, all relishing the beauty of the island.

Just a two-minute drive away lies the Keauhou Shopping Center, where guests can indulge in a variety of dining options including Japanese, Italian, Thai, Mexican, and Hawaiian cuisine. Additionally, the center hosts grocery stores and a movie theater. For a fun way to explore Kailua-Kona, guests can hop aboard the Kona Trolley for a nominal fee and tour the town at leisure.

Great close to town but quiet snorkel beach rest
Property was fantastic, and the accommodations were excellent. Beach gear was an amazing addition. Cooked and ate in most mornings and lunch to save money for big dinners out. Overall very quiet and comfortable except for the random island roosters at 530, but thats inevitable, lol. The upstairs neighbors was a little noisy Saturday evening and early Sunday, but quiet the rest of the time. Overall great place, just bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper for the chickens.place, just

The condo was nice and was clean. Pool area was clean. Beware the geckos will take any opportunity to get into the condo, but they are harmless. A few minute walk from a good snotkeling beach and near to various shopping areas and restaurant.

Great base camp for families!
This was the perfect base camp for exploring the big island with a young family. Incredibly close to a good beach spot with snorkeling. Also located nicely from a lot of the Kona & Captain Cool area sights. The apartment is nice, there are extras that have been left by past guests (chairs, boogie boards, coolers). I especially appreciated having a lot of towels. I will warn you that ground floor means some of the Hawaiian natives may find their way inside (lizards and bugs, and the mongoose on the patio might take advantage of an open door but thankfully we only saw it outside). Also, the apartment above apparently has tile floors which doesn’t do any favors as far as sound dampening goes. That being said, everything was as expected and I would happily stay here again. Location is superb!

Lovely Beach Retreat
Had a wonderful 8 days in this unit. Very clean and manager was very good about returning calls. Had absolutely no problems just wanted to see if we could get in early and need trash bags. The unit served us well and the walk to the beach was only 2 minutes. We walked down every night to see the sunset. We would definitely come back to this location.

Birdsong privacy
This very well stocked unit gives wonderful privacy and a relaxed island vibe. Ground floor means ease with both luggage and shopping. Best of all are truly lovely garden views with NO buildings or people in sight at all. The layout is almost like two masters separated by the living area. Again, more privacy. And the owner was very responsive and nice. Highly recommend.

This was a beautiful, wonderfully furnished, unit. It was very comfortable and nicely secluded on the ground floor back corner of the building. The property is very clean, the pool is refreshing and best of all it is just a half block from Kahalu’u Beach Park with excellent snorkeling and beautiful sunsets.

Great for what we needed
Stayed here for a full week. Overall, great place with a good amount of space. The Cali king bed was amazing and so were the pillows, we slept really well the whole time. The whole place felt very spacious for hawai’i. The location is great if you want to stay across the street from a cool little beach to snorkel & surf but not great if you want to be walking to restaurants at night (no sidewalks and the closest plaza is a 20min walk), though it’s just a short drive around the corner. They had some awesome extra things like snorkels/masks, fins, nice beach chairs, boogie boards, coffee, pots/pans, etc. but then lacked some other small things like dishwasher soap, extra trash bags, laundry detergent, pepper, etc. There also wasn’t shampoo/conditioner (there was a sign saying they offered single ones but we only got one thing of body lotion left for us) so make sure to bring it. As for the bugs, I grew up in a tropical place so you’ll never fully get away from them being on the first floor and we were ok with that but there were some dead bugs around that could’ve been cleaned up. A/C worked well but was in the center room only so can’t really close your doors at night but that didn’t bother us and ultimately was plenty cool at night (this is how it goes for AC in most of Hawai’i, FYI). Internet was fast and we had no issues working from here. Patio was a nice touch, very spacious and private. Overall, would recommend this place!

Excellent place in great location.
This place has everything that you might need for a great stay. It’s right across from a popular snorkeling place and nearby all the shops/ restaurants. The place was clean although I don’t think they washed the bed sheets, but it was no problem because there was a washer and dryer. Other than that the place was great! I would definitely recommend staying here. Also, they let you use complementary beach towels, snorkeling gear, and more stuff for a great beach day.
