The lanai was similarly large with a table and 4 chairs, plus 2 recliners the owners placed on a bit of artificial turf. And the view of the coast did not disappoint! Crashing waves against lava fields made for exciting watching. No whales were seen this trip but they definitively are out there passing by. The folks at KCV were amazing and attentive from the moment we engaged them months ago in planning. They provided support and many recommendations on what to do for entertainment and meals in the area. We look forward to returning in a couple of years!

They blamed damage on us that was there from previous tenants, and I have pictures and emails to prove it that they repeatedly ignore. The owner of the house CHERYL is putting it up for sale and wants the money to fix her unlivable house full of termites that they would not do anything about. This company is just helping her keep what is ours. During our walk through it was even discussed how a door was damaged when we moved in and they charged us $463 for a closet door!!! I have pictures showing a bathroom drawer when we moved in with used floss, roaches, and hair. Termite poop on our bathroom counter, black mold in the washing machine I tried to scrub. Broken kitchen tile when we moved in. We left the house cleaner than We received it. Lived with a house full of termites that they would not deal with. Boundless said one thing at my walk through and then charged for things never mentioned and damage from before we moved in.

My wife, daughter and I planned a vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii. We had previously stayed…read morein the south Kona area and wanted to stay in the Waikoloa Beach Resort area to experience the north side of the Big Island. We are a repeat customer of Hula Girl Vacation Rentals, and the owner Candace, is a gem. Before arriving, she provided us with lots of information on things to do, the beaches, restaurants and what the local population likes to do. It was very helpful planning our fun in the sun. Hula Girl Vacation Rentals is Candace's company that offered three very nice vacation rentals on the Big Island. During our first trip, we stayed at the condo located at Kona and that condo was very nice and located close to Kona's historical area. LOTS of FUN! This trip, we stayed at the large F-3 condo located in the Fairway Villas complex at the Waikoloa Beach resort. The condo was close to shopping, restaurants, beaches, and the big resort hotels - the Marriott and Hilton. Boy, was the F-3 condo nice! A first-floor one-level condo with two bedrooms, two full baths, full kitchen with all the appliances, dining room, family room, and an outside sitting area (with table and chairs). The counters were all granite and the furnishing made the stay very relaxing. The Master bathroom - large bath tub, separate shower and a large walk-in closet. Candace did a great job! The condo even included modern electronic amenities or us geeks - flat panel TV, cable TV, and easy to access wireless internet. How many times have we been somewhere where it takes a rocket scientist to figure out how to connect to the internet. Not here! There was also stuff at the condo for us to enjoy the beach: beach towels, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, beach chairs. There is also a community pool (infinity) close to the condo overlooking the golf course, jacuzzi, several BBQ grills for our use. It was so convenient to grill steaks and hamburgers in the evening instead of eating out in the restaurants every night. We got to meet a lot of really nice people there too! It is about a five-minute walk to a nice sandy beach near the condo, and along the way there is the Lava Lava Beach Club - open to the public. If you are not careful - too many Mai Tais! The condo is also a short drive to several nice sandy beaches with lots of parking - Mauna Lani, Mauna Kea, Hapuna. The snorkeling was crazy! The sand is white and the water is clear. The sunset at Mauna Kea is ..... WOW! I HIGHLY recommend Hula Girl Vacation Rentals!

Everything that you need is provided in this wonderful condominium plus, did I mention... the sunsets! The owners were responsive and easy to work with. The pool and grounds were well cared for plus the barbecues. We really enjoyed the pool area when taking a break from the snorkeling in the area. This condo is close to everything but not in the busiest part of the tourist area which was perfect. The ocean is 20 feet from the lanai plus the floor to ceiling wall of windows meant that you always had a view whether you were in the kitchen living room, dining room, or master bedroom.. The beds and sheets were extremely comfortable. Had a wonderful trip and we will definitely be coming back, hopefully to this beautiful condo. Mahalo Candace

Big Island Keauhou Surf & Racquet 181…read more I stayed 5 nights at Keauhou Surf & Racquet #181 and was very disappointed. The condo is poorly maintained, and several issues made my stay uncomfortable: ant infestation in the kitchen, lights and fans only working from the breaker, shutters in the master bedroom stuck closed (I had to track down a maintenance worker myself to pry them open since management never answered my calls), scratched cookware, no air conditioning (making it unbearably hot at night), and paint chips in the guest room. This property fell far below what was advertised and did not provide the quality or comfort expected. I cannot recommend it until major improvements are made.

The gated complex itself has tennis courts (yay!) and a pool (nothing special, but good sized), but…read moreof course the main draw is that is it right on the ocean by Keauhou Bay. Keauhou means "New Era" in Hawaiian, and this complex was probably just that when built but it is starting to get a little dated. Still, the main draw to this place is that it is built right by the water, right on the shore's edge, which was allowed back when the condos here were built. To get the maximum benefit you need to stay in a direct ocean front unit. That's what we did, for two weeks, and it was a fabulous experience. The waves are right there both to hear and watch, as is the bay itself and its shoreline. You really can't get much better than that as far as location. The inside of many of these units, is - to best describe it - 1970s. Although the one we stayed in had been updated as far as appliances, the carpet and upholstery all had that "sticky but not quite sticky" feeling of stuff that needs to be replaced. (However, keep in mind that being right by the ocean tends to do this to all cloths, over a not so long period of time.) Our unit was an end unit townhome, one bedroom (bedroom upstairs, full baths upstairs and down (showers only, no tub), with kitchen and living room downstairs). No A/C in these units - ceiling and portable fans only. This is fine some months of the year and inadequate other months - just depends on the weather (blame President Trump and global warming!). Keauhou Bay is more of a snorkeling beach than swimming, and the shoreline is pebbly and rocky. It's not really a beginner snorkeling area - you must deal with rocks, some of them sharp, to launch past the shallow areas, and then if you go too far, which isn't really too far at all, currents will start pulling you out depending on what tide is in action. If you want a soft fine sand beach for swimming, such as you'd find in southern California, you need to go elsewhere. Around the bend are petroglyphs that commemorate a great battle between the Big Island chief who used to reign here, and the Maui chief who invaded, lost, and was pinned to the shore for seven days before he was slaughtered. I went fishing just below our unit, and caught something on most every cast, although most of what I caught I threw back as being either too tropical or too small. No fitness complex. No sauna/steam by the pool. No jacuzzi. In all, a far superior Hawaii experience to staying in a hotel. Fully equipped kitchen. For our unit the owner's property manager sent someone within a day whenever anything needed repair. Nearby KTA Super Store sells everything you'd find in a mainland supermarket, plus fresh locally caught fish, and even fresher fish is available from other smaller local vendors. Centrally located to Kailua-Kona, and to the attractions that are driving distance to the north and south.
