We had the absolute best week at Kathy's condo. It was everything we hoped for and it was perfect for our toddler as well. We loved watching the sunrises, surfers all day, and sunsets from the lanai. Great location - can't be beat! We would love to stay here again someday. Thank you for an unforgettable week!

Stayed at several condos at this same building over the years and 202 is the best so far. 2d floor east end with a constant ocean breeze, morning surfers, and evening sunsets. Kitchen had everything needed including dishwasher. New washer/dryer we used a few times. Overall great stay.

Property was exactly as advertised. Directly on the waterfront, with outstanding views of the water, surfers, whales, and gorgeous sunsets. The kitchen was well stocked with needed equipment and the opportunity to use the outdoor grills was very good. They were well maintained and cleaned daily. Inside the property, the master suite was beautiful with direct views (and sounds) of the water. The guest bedroom was fine. All things considered, we had an excellent stay. The property is well situated on the island for all the activities important to us. If we decide to return to the Big Island, we would certainly consider renting this property once again.

What a view!!

Stay was amazing! Condo has everything you need is you choose to dine in every night. Only thing that was a struggle was the need for the community grills to be updated. If you enjoy watching all the locals surf then this is for sure the place to be as Banyans beach was pumping.
