Overall very good

Manager's Response

From the first communication with Knutsons, the experience was smooth sailing. Knutson's kept providing updates on location, the access plans, etc, and when contacted about a minor issue, were no problem to deal with. The Unit is situated within the Kona restaurant area, with all tastes catered for. I would happily recommend Knutsons and I would also stay there again.

Manager's Response

Our unit was all we hoped for! A fabulous view from the patio, impeccably clean and well appointed. It was also a very short walk to a number of fun and tasty restaurants. The provided floor fans made the lack of AC a non-issue and we remained comfy at all times. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Our host always responded back to us quickly with answers to questions we asked during our stay.

Manager's Response

A beautifully renovated, clean and comfortable stay. The apartment was very well equipped and had everything we needed. The property management team were easily contactable. It is located walking distance to several restaurants.

Manager's Response

Upon entering the condo we were awed by the spectacular ocean view from our top floor balcony. The management's communication were very helpful on how to access our unit. The living space was very clean and well appointed, especially the kitchen that met all our needs. Love the sunlit energy of this space. The bed was quite comfortable. The bathroom had a removable shower wand that I appreciated. Also felt safe with the locked elevator system. There was some street noise but this is to be expected in a popular town. Beautiful balcony to have breakfast and enjoy sunset. Also, an easy walk down the hill to town and beach areas. We used both the snorkeling equipment and beach chairs that were provided. The information on locking the door and potential of being locked out was somewhat confusing. The glass corners on the the nightstands need some type type of beeline on protection to avoid injury. Otherwise we were extremely satisfied with our stay in your unit and are very likely to reccomend and come back for another stay. Thank you and Mahalo.

We had a great stay in Unit 701 at Kailua Village. It was walking distance to many great shops and restaurants, close to the highway to get to other destinations, and close to the water with a beautiful view. The unit was clean and spacious for two people. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would need if you wanted to prepare meals instead of going out. Only residents with a key could access the elevator or stairs, which was a great feature for making us feel safe. We would definitely stay here again.

Manager's Response

It was everything wonderful. Location, view of the ocean, cleaning. It was all perfect!

Manager's Response

The apartment was exactley Aa the pictures at booking. Everything was perfect - we missed nothing!!! The furnishings are modern and comfortable, the amenities are above average. The view was fantastic, the neighborhood very quiet. For us it was a perfect time!!

Manager's Response

This rental exceeded our expectations. It’s in a perfect location it’s very clean fully stocked & they have wonder full customer service. I want to boo this same condo again when I come back!

Manager's Response

I was very impressed with everything.

Manager's Response

Well equipped and updated. Cross breezes and fans makes stay comfortable and the view from lanai, and room are amazing! Location was within easy walking distance to food, shopping and beaches. Check in and check out instructions were clear and easy... any concerns were addressed in timely manner by Knutson & Associates. We loved our home base on the big island and we would not hesitate to stay at this property again.

Manager's Response

Perfect location downtown, walking distance to everything.
We will definitely stay here again!
It was hot without AC, but a cool breeze and fans made it work!

Would recommend this property to friends and family.
I’m giving a 5 star review, but would probably rate it at 4.6, just for the uncomfortable couch and not best bed.
Worth the money tho!

Manager's Response

This is our second time at this property and we feel like we are home when we stay here. We especially appreciate the ocean view and close locations of restaurants, coffee shops and even the library.

Manager's Response

Nice aaccommodation with fantastic location.

Manager's Response

Everything was just as described in the unit can't beat the short walk to shops and dining laundry facilities were clean and somewhat convenient save your quarters

Manager's Response

Clean, modern condo perfect for 2 people. We loved the view. Convenient to restaurants etc, but we appreciated having a rental car and parking spot. Laundry area clean and great for guests. Did not miss an AC unit because the breeze was amazing!

Manager's Response

The room and view from it was very good. We had problems with the elevator and room keys. also difficult tuning-in the TV set.

Manager's Response

This was a nice efficiency type apartment with a good view and central location. It was very clean. We were able to walk to the downtown area. The shower was poorly designed with a half door on it so it was impossible not to get water on the floor. There wasn’t air conditioning and even with the windows open, we were hot at night while trying to sleep.

Manager's Response

We spent a week and loved having the condo's easy access to walk to food, music and shopping. The location offered a great view from the deck where we enjoyed morning coffee/evening cocktails while watching the various types of activities out on the water. The unit was clean, comfortable and stocked with all we needed. We especially appreciated that there were beach towels & a cooler to use for day trips. We were able to keep the unit cool w/o AC with the fans provided and open doors/windows plus that great ocean breeze. Papa Kona's had great food. A Bay's had good music. Kona Canoe Club had good Mai Tais. We'd definitely stay at Kailua Village again. The Cloud Forest Sanctuary nearby was a worthwhile guided nature hike.

Manager's Response

The condo was very comfortable, well equipped. Gorgeous views of the harbor and town from the 7th floor balcony. Marvelous views of the mountains out the front. Only concern was there was some heavy traffic noise at times. But, overall, very convenient -- walking distance to shops and restaurants.

Manager's Response

I LOVED my mini getaway at Kailua Village! This unit was beautifully decorated, clean with all the amenities needed to make it feel homely. It's security feature was a plus for a single traveler and the location is unbeatable - central to stores, restaurants and shopping. The view from the lanai was my favorite. Waking up to the views of the ocean, having my coffee and relaxing was everything I needed to rest and recuperate from my busy schedule. I can't wait to return!

Manager's Response

A very good location,initial reaction was a disappointing building but however on entering our unit we were impressed with the quality & presentation of our unit. All fixtures, fittings etc are of a high standard & the bed is very comfortable.

Manager's Response

The condo was so clean, a perfectly kept space just right for the two of us, and with a beautiful view of Kona and the ocean. Perfect location right in the heart of Kona. Loved it!

Manager's Response

Very nice, recently remodeled, quiet because it was on the corner. Took our Firestick and used it with no problem. Catholic Church, Kai is a perfect Happy Hour. You can see Dolphins and Whales from the lanai.

Manager's Response

A perfect location and a beautiful property. The apartment had everything we needed and more than we expected. A great Vrbo! I highly recommend this place.

Manager's Response

This was our first experience with a VRBO and were not sure how it would go. We were very pleased with our experience with Knutson & Associates. We booked 2 properties through them and everything went smooth from our first contact through to departure. They remained in contact through the whole experience and the properties were clean and well maintained. We went to their office in Kona have re-booked again for next year through them.

Manager's Response

Beautiful spot in the heart of Kona, very walkable to great restaurants and shops. I was pleasantly surprised by the amenities: snorkeling gear, beach blanket, beach cooler and other little gems. Amazing views from the little deck. Highly recommend!

Manager's Response

This condo was absolutely beautiful. The location was perfect for the Ironman World Championship. A block up from the Ironman Village, so you can walk to everything.

The condo has everything you need. Very clean and well maintained. The rental agency checked in with us to make sure everything was good. Customer service was fantastic.

I would highly recommend the rental agency and the condo.

The best part, in addition to racing, was being able to swim in Kailua Bay everyday!

Manager's Response

We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the condo. It had been newly remodeled and was very bright and cheery. The kitchen had new updated appliances and everything you could need. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. We enjoyed the view and being close to Kailua-Kona.

The property was nice, clean and in a great spot in Kona.

Manager's Response

We loved the access to food and main roads on the island. The place was quiet at night which was an added benefit after big adventure days. We said multiple times that we wished we had stayed longer and would definitely be coming back!

Manager's Response

Lovely week here, good location too...and the view! The condo was very nice. It’s a bit weird having to leave your key each time you leave tho...

Manager's Response

The property is well located and has great sea views.
Kitchen has good facilities. The bed and pillows were comfortable.
While the airflow created by ceiling fans helped, the unit needs aircon to allow a good nights sleep.
The property managers were very responsive to our minor requests.

Manager's Response

The location of the property is excellent, very close to a lot of shops and restaurants. The unit was very clean and was beautifully redone. The view was spectacular! The only negative was no air conditioning. I did not pay attention to that amenity when booking. The unit does have a nice breeze and the fans provided some comfort.

Manager's Response

Gorgeous place... close to everything! We absolutely loved this place! The view was amazing! Place was clean! The pool wasn’t what we expected but we never had time to use it anyways! ( just small)
Laundry room was decent... clean.
Would 100% book this place again!!

Manager's Response

This property while it looks good had a horrible roach infestation which ruined the whole trip they had to know this before renting it was not a good way to spend your 43rd wedding anniversary. I understand bugs but waking up with them on you actually in my ear, reaching for the aluminum foil and they are inside the box crawling on you in the middle of the day we killed at least 50 the property management said sorry we'll look into it.. that's great for the next person not for us.

Manager's Response

Great location especially for walking to town and the bay.

Manager's Response

Nice accommodations, good bed, remodeled, bright & clean.
Had a bug problem tho, and we had to rethink bringing food into the rental. Bugs were present in the bathroom & kitchen, and there were more then just a few...

Manager's Response

We got off to a rough start, but the property manager helped us find the place. The directions were good but because of traffic we missed the Palani turn off. when we finally arrived, the place was clean and beautiful, the view was spectacular, the upgrades done were very nice and the kitchen was set up very nicely for cooking. Bed was comfortable, the little frogs sung us to sleep, after we got used to them the first night. It was nice to be able to walk to the town at night, My husband was very put off by the many many emails asking for a good review and to sign up for the property managers app. but besides that the overall experience was lovely

We stayed 6 nights and enjoyed the downtown location for morning and evening walks along the wharf with easy access to restaurants, coastal views, and shopping. A favorite at the rental was having our breakfast out on the balcony, watching and listening to the ocean and town. The top floor and corner location gave the condo a sense of privacy. We found the place spotless, bright, comfortable, with a well-appointed kitchen, water filter, and comforts of home. There were plenty of towels, a comfortable bed, and extras such as the picnic cooler & ice packs that we used daily as we set out for excursions. One suggestion is to provide a non-slip bathtub mat for more secure footing, since there is not a grab bar.
Overall, a great place, although the trade off is the normal night time traffic and critter noises expected with a downtown location. We throughly enjoyed our winter getaway to Kona and this rental was perfect for a home-away-from-home.

Manager's Response

Excellent! management company made sure I was comfortable and fulfilled all my needs. Response was very fast. Will definitely use them whenever I come back.

Manager's Response

A clean, comfortable condo close to everything.

Manager's Response

It all went well.

Manager's Response

This stay was absolutely perfect for my husband and I. The rental was super clean and the location was super convenient. There was a farmers market right beside us which we walked to almost every morning. And lots of restaurants and things to do. Definitely would stay here again. Oh and the view from the balcony was beautiful

Manager's Response

My wife and I booked three nights at this condo in Kona, and were very pleased with our stay. If you are looking for a reasonably priced accommodation with an excellent view of the ocean and close to many of the restaurants than this is the place for you. When we checked in the place was spotless and we loved the modern decor. The team at Knutson & Associates were very courteous and communicated well the check in instructions and made sure we were taken care of during our stay. Would stay here again.

Manager's Response

This is one of the cleanest, if not the cleanest, vacation rentals I've ever stayed in. The property management company was also very helpful and answered any questions we had right away. Walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars in Kona. I was hesitant to stay in a place without AC but it was no problem with all the fans and being right on the ocean. Also the beach chairs and snorkeling gear was a nice bonus!

Manager's Response

We enjoyed every minute! The place was lovely, well equipped, clean, comfortable, and a great location.

Property was clean, nice, and had everything we needed. Really amazing view and superb kitchen.

Manager's Response

This room had everything we needed, it was clean, and had a great view! I would 100% stay here again on our next trip. Knutson&Assoc. are very professional and efficient and the check in/out everything went smoothly.

Very beautiful almost immaculate place to stay. Definitely would rebook when coming back. Place had everything and was so clean. Was a little concerned at first not having any AC but being so close to the water it was quite cool at nights. Very easy to check in and literally 0 noise from
Neighbors.

Awesome rental experience! Location central to everything. Eye popping views. No better place to watch the beautiful Kona sunsets. Well appointed condo perfect for a couple- chairs, umbrella, and snorkeling gear were a total bonus. Absolutely will stay here again and already have recommended it to friends and family!
