My true heavenly paradise on earth

Jodie W on Mar 04, 2026

My second visit to the best paradise on earth! Truly a place to relax, swim enjoy sunsets, walk , do anything, do nothing! Watch the great view from your veranda or let the waves sing u to sleep. You have everything u need in your unit including washing machine & dryer making your holiday so easy. You can come & go as you please with plenty of parking. Staff are wonderful and so helpful, making u feel part of the family. This is the only place to stay in Kona! I would live there if i could, certainly will be back again asap!

Don’t book room 311

Go285637 on Jan 27, 2026

We stayed in room 311. The condo was very dated. It needs all new furniture, bedding, kitchenware, and all new lighting. It has a beautiful view, good location, and nice folks working there. They maintained the outside property very nicely. We requested an oceanfront room with a king bed 6 months ago. We got the oceanfront room with an old queen uncomfortable bed with a mattress topper to hide the age. An under stuffed big uncomfortable stinky couch and loveseat. Had to put sheets on it to sit on it. Hip hurting furniture, just awful. Patio furniture was more comfortable. We were there 12 nights and requested a different place daily but nothing they said was available. Even though 1/2 of the rooms looked like they were not occupied. I would not recommend staying in that room.

Mildew and Mold Issues

Jessica B on Jan 16, 2026

(Would be 1 star if not for the view and grounds) I would honestly rate this property one star, but I’m giving it three solely because the view and the grounds are beautiful. Unfortunately, the unit itself was in very poor condition. From the moment we walked in, there was a strong smell of mildew and mold. The carpets were horrific. During our stay, I developed a sore throat and a severe headache, which persisted the entire time we were there. As soon as we flew to Maui and stayed at our next accommodation, all of my symptoms completely disappeared, which confirmed for me that what I was experiencing was related to mold exposure in this unit. This property has potential because of the location, but the interior needs a serious overhaul. Until that happens, I would not recommend staying here especially for anyone sensitive to air quality or mold.
