Knutson & Associates in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

“Just book it. The surroundings are breathtaking we fell asleep to the sound of ocean waves every night. The view of the ocean from the lanai is absolutely stunning. The grounds are immaculate with flowering trees and bushes everywhere it is a tropical paradise. And don’t worry about buying any beach gear! When we stayed there were beach chairs, umbrellas, tons of snorkel gear and boogey boards. Beach toys you name it! The unit is also close to shopping and restaurants on Ali’i drive. My family and I had a lovely time and would definitely stay again!”

“This place was great with one of exception. The great: excellent location, outstanding oceanfront view, very clean, plentiful beach supplies (towels, chairs, snorkeling gear, boogie boards), well-stocked kitchen, plentiful linens, nice pool and hot tub, comfortable temperature with the fresh breeze (never needed to use the a/c), good beds, and a communicative host. The exception: magic sands beach is very loud, and since you are on the 3rd floor, all of the beach party sounds come into the condo. It may have been because it was memorial day weekend, but kids stayed at the beach until late at night with thumping music blaring. Some nights it stopped at 8. Other nights it went on until midnight. Maybe shutting all the doors and turning on the a/c would have been a solution, but we wanted to hear the ocean. It’s why we booked an oceanfront place. This is not the fault of this air b&b, but it is something to be aware of.”

“Nice location, room had everything you need to have a great beach vacation.”

“Location was fantastic and the view was fabulous. Pool and pickleball courts were fantastic. Love the gas grills and pavilion area.”

“If you want to enjoy sunsets and snorkeling in Kona on the Big Island, this is the perfect place. It is incredibly close to the beach, and the room condition was excellent. Even though there was an earthquake at the beginning of our trip, the property remained safe, and the host was very attentive to our comfort.”
