My wife and I stayed at Janice's condo for almost 2 weeks in March. We could not have been happier. It, and the Big Island were outstanding. Unless there is something about being able to visit 5 Coach stores in the space of 4 blocks that turns your crank, why would anyone chose Honolulu over Kailua-Kona? There is incredible variety...

We stayed in condo 204 for two weeks over spring break and had a great vacation. The condo has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It was impeccably clean, and had free wireless and phone calls to Canada and USA. The ocean was literally 25 feet in front of our lanai, and we loved to watch the surfers and the turtles... More

My fiance and I vacationed on the Big Island during the Thanksgiving Holiday. Everything about this condo is perfect; the location, the layout, the cleanliness, how the kitchen is well-stocked with modern conveniences to snorkeling gear, beach mats and towels, fishing, etc... Throughout the entire booking process, Janice Townsend, the owner, made it so simple and easy. She even shares... More

I stayed at this condo for 5 nights with my 25 year old son and 3 of his friends. We were totally at home and comfortable. The kitchen was better stocked than mine at home, and the guys were thrilled with the selection of water "toys." It was close enough to town for the guys to enjoy the night life,... More

have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful apartment on the Big Island. It was so clean and comfortable with everything thought of. There was even some food to tide us over when we first arrived before we had a chance to do any food shopping. Later we even took the owner's advice to eat at Lava Java and bought... More

We are glad our guests had such a great stay in our condo #302! We want to clarify that we provide boogie boards. We do not have surfboards, although you can rent them right next door at Millers. More

We absolutely loved Robert and Janice’s condo – it was the best part of our trip. The setting was perfect, right on the ocean. It has easy access with covered parking and a convenient elevator. It is close to everything yet not noisy. We loved the ocean breeze off the water, keeping us very comfortable. The condo is very current... More

I'm always a bit sceptical of pictures of anything on the internet but this place is exactly as stunning as it looks in the pictures. The whole outside wall is windows or doors - you are completely facing the ocean, and it really IS only 30 ft from the water. The location was very easy to find right on the... More

We loved the condo. It was clean, well stocked with everything we needed for the beach, snorkeling, great guide book, food prep in the kitchen,nice beds and decor, PLUS it overlooks the Banyan surf spot. We would sit on the lanai drinking our Kona coffee in the mornings watching the surfers and boogie boarders, then at the end of the... More

We stayed in Banyan Tree #405 in early February 2011. This is a very nice, renovated unit with lots of amenities. We stayed with another couple and had plenty of room. We used the well-equipped kitchen for almost all our meals. It has granite counter tops, updated appliances, and a great view of the ocean through the living/dining area and... More
