December 2024 stay

What an amazing experience and host (Viki)!!! Viki provided an abundance of information on things to do, places to eat and anything you might want to know in the area. All amenities you could possibly think of where there and ready at our disposal. She even offered accommodation for early check in without us asking. The bed was very comfortable and the location of the property was in close relation to so many things! We will definitely be staying here again!!

Fantastic Cost and Quality

This studio condo had everything we needed for our stay in Kona. The cleanliness and quality of the unit was top-tier, and exceeded any VRBO we've ever stayed in. Vicki was a great host, with effective, excellent communication before and during our rental. We highly recommend this rental, and would look to rent from Vicki again if we were ever back on the island.

Surprised so close to busy road

We enjoyed our stay at Kona Shores, but initially were dismayed with the location of our unit with a busy road right outside the bedroom and the lanai located surrounded by the parking lot. In a little quieter location the space would have been perfect as it was very clean, well stocked and convenient to beaches. Thanks!

Wonderful again!

This is the second time we have stayed at one of Vicki’s condos and it was just as wonderful the second time around! Everything you need for a week in paradise. Vicki is a wonderful host!! There is we ever need her, but doesn’t intrude either. Of course we never needed her. We will definitely stay there again. We call it our place :o) You won’t regret booking this condo or her other one. (We’ve stayed in both now). Listing is EXACTLY as described. Mahalo!

Very clean place in a great location

From the moment I booked this property, Vicki had excellent communication and was very informative. When we arrived, her place was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. My husband and I stayed here for the last 3 days of our 11 day vacation. We took advantage of the fully equipped kitchen to cook some of our own meals as dining out can get expensive in Hawaii. The views from the pool are spectacular and we loved watching the sunset over the water. There are a lot of restaurants and shops nearby and several beaches within 5 miles of the place. I highly recommend staying here if your looking for a clean and affordable base to explore the Big Island.
