"Very nice, relaxing vacation
This rental property was very nice. Everything was nicely done. Property was clean and well maintained. We have stated at Kona Coast resort a number of times previously. This was the best of the lot."

"Hidden gem in Kailua Kona
Our family loved staying at this hidden gem, Kona Coast Resort at Keauhou Gardens 8204. We were amazed at the spacious and luxurious interior, and loved the ocean view lanai. Parking was a breeze, and the amenities were fantastic. What we loved most is having the comfort, luxury, and space to truly enjoy our vacation, while taking care to treat the beautiful furnishings to preserve the wonderful ambiance for future vacationers to enjoy. We intend to come back and stay at this condo for many years in the future. Mahalo for a wonderful experience that my family will treasure for years to come."

"Kona Coast Resort 8-204
The unit was very clean and comfortable and located in a quiet and convenient location near Keauhou shopping center. The unit was pleasantly decorated with local Hawaiian decor and it was a joy to stay there."

"Kona Coast Resort at Keauhou Gardens 8204
The property was well positioned to anywhere on the island. It was clean, well organized, and very comfortable. It was a big factor in making our stay a success. The morning coffee on the deck looking out over the grounds and water in the distance was so relaxing. A great start to every day. Very quiet location within the complex as well. The location was close to grocery stores and restaurants. I would recommend this property to friends and family."

"Lovely Condo in Kona!
This condo was lovely! It's been well maintained and the layout was really nice - there was a lot of space for all of us! The lanai was absolutely stunning - probably one of our favorite parts of the condo. The location was nearby lots of things, so that was also great. Really, everything you could need for a relaxing stay in Kona - comfortable bedrooms, fabulous & huge lanai, ample kitchen, great bathrooms, and even a washer & dryer! Overall, it was a great condo and we'd definitely consider staying there again! Knutson & Associates were awesome and very timely with responses - also a great experience!"

"Beautiful and spacious condo!
We could have given 5 stars if the garbage disposal was cleaned out. My head bumped into the roof beam on the attic bedroom even if a red tape was placed on it as warning. If the bed can be relocated elsewhere, it would have been perfect. "

"Perfect location and loved the resort
Condo is exactly as described. Very well stocked and clean. The resort grounds are clean, and roomy. Plenty of amenities for the entire group. Pools are well located and everything looks new ( BBQ grills, furniture, sports equipment, etc). Very quiet and staff are friendly. The restaurant serves great food. All in all...5/5."

"Magnificent Property!
This property is total luxury! Every room is spacious and well-equipped. The location is central to anything you may want to do in Kona but away from city noise. I had the pleasure of working with a couple of lovely ladies on the management team. They were super helpful as was the property office. From my family, thank you for a wonderful stay!"

"Heavenly Stay!
This unit is perfectly placed and perfectly priced! Just a couple of blocks East to the farmers’ market and a couple of blocks west to the Pacific, this is a perfect location to escape for a couple of days, weeks, or months. The Kona Country Club is basically next door and one of the nicest resort courses we have played. Our evenings on the lanai provided fabulous sunsets and lasting memories."

"Relax at the Kona Coast
Let me begin by saying we have stayed at the Kona Coast many times and it never disappoints. This was our first time working with Knutson & Associates Property Management & Real Estate Sales. They're very efficient from the booking until checking out. We had something come up during our stay and they had an immediate response and resolution. You can't ask for more than that. I work in the real estate industry and was very impressed. The unit we stayed in was dated, but in good condition, very clean and well equipped. We for sure would stay again. "

David & Bonnie Carlson
Good location, spacious, great extra bedroom upstairs, nice furnishings, great lanai. Dishwasher did not work entire week, A/C remotes didn’t work to turn it OFF, very dark bedroom, found a smashed sink strainer covered w/dust bunnies on kitchen floor, not sure where to hang wet bathtowels & washcloths (1 towel rack)."

"Resort Living!
We can't say enough good things about the how nice the place was. Management company was nice and the service was good.
Being a private rental inside of resort that operates as both private owned units and a hotel it was a little confusing at first but with a few short questions the management at the resort was very helpful, patient and understanding.
The concierge at the gate was a bit overwhelming but that's not the owners fault, its the HOA.
Overall the experience was nice and the pictures underplay how nice the unit is. Very, very cold old AC in every room. Which was nice. Very Clean and mold smell free.
Everything worked great flat screens in every room. Allot of free perks!! Great for a four person rental. "

"Wake up with a Beach view!
We loved our stay! The rental was clean, tastefully decorated and the view from the deck was amazing. I loved having my coffee with a view every morning, it made for a true vacation. The rental had perfect placing between everything we wanted to do and of course the pools and hot tubs lived up to their pictures. And of course the staff was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. "

"Exceptional Rental Property
We rented this property during our recent visit to Kailua-Kona for our son's and our daughter-in-law's wedding. We wanted a rental unit that would be conducive for entertaining and convenient to the Kona Coast and the various attractions the Big Island has to offer. This property proved to be the perfect choice. This is a beautifully decorated and well maintained property. We arrived for check-in and were greeted by the resort's friendly, helpful staff. Knutson & Associates promptly contacted us by email after check-in to ensure everything was as we expected. The kitchen is well stocked with all cooking appliances and utensils. The only improvements we can think of would be a more user friendly key lock box and retractable shades for the balcony as the afternoon sun can be intense. We would highly recommend this property and will definitely book this property through Knutson & Associates for our next visit to Hawaii."

"Our stay at Kona Coast resort
We enjoyed our stay at the Kona Coast resort.
The property was in a great location.
One night the kids wanted to stay there by themself.
They wanted to hang out at the pool. We gave them some money to have dinner at the pool while we went on a date.
We would rent this property again.

"Has Everything!
Nice Place! Clean, Comfortable. The resort bar/restaurant is really good, the pool is kept clean and was a welcome pleasure while we stayed. They also have live entertainment on certain nights that we really enjoyed. this place is very close to shopping for groceries, local restaurants, our favorites were a local BBQ place and an Italian place that had incredible spaghetti and pizza. Kona is a short drive away for all the shopping and dinning in town. we really enjoy ourselves, I highly recommend this place!
Thank you!

"Mahalo for a great stay!
From the moment we checked in, our stay at Kona Coast Resort was seamless and enjoyable. The condo was spacious and beautiful, with a nice view of the ocean. We had a snafu with the dishwasher and the rental management team was on the spot, answering our call immediately and sending a repair specialist within 30 minutes of our call. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Kona. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Kona!"

This place is great! I am a former Big Island resident for many years and was coming home to visit friends/ohana. The condo is wonderful. Having AC was nice to sleep at night.

"Kona Coast Condo on the big Island of Hawaii
The Condo that we stayed in at the Kona Coast Resort was great. My husband I and our 2 cousins that stayed with us would give this 2bedroom and 2 bath a 5 star rating. Just a beautiful place to stay. so nicely decorated, a very homey feeling about the place. The beds were comfortable, we all were talking about that after a couple of nights. the bathroom on the main floor has a large walk in shower with 2 shower heads. The condo was spacious in its self. we spent most all the time on the lanai (deck) which is covered. This was our favorite room of the condo. Kitchen was bright and easy to get around. the management company has starter package of dish cleaner, garbage bags and ect, ect. very nice thing to do for guests. location was Ideal for getting around. take a left turn out of the resort and you are on the road that is next to the ocean with beach's and eventually you will end up where you can shop and eat at numerous restaurants. You go straight up the hill from the resort and you come to the shopping mall that has the grocery store which has a liquor store in it. close to the airport about 20 minutes depending on traffic. One other thing about our resort that we stayed at is the main swimming pool has a very nice restaurant and bar next to it and a few evenings there was live music being played. very nice. We would recomend anyone to stay there. The best Snorkeling that we found was only about a half a mile from the resort, it was a park and open to the public, has life guards on duty but is a must to wear water shoes. We plan on returning to visit in a couple of years and will stay at the Kona Coast Resort. "

"No response from Management on maintenance issues
The unit was as pictured and described on the website . The one thing that was not mentioned was that the lighting is very dim. You don't have enough light to read any thing but electronic devices. And with the lightbulb out in the living room, it was very dark.
The communication from management was great before and after our stay. But during our stay, we never received a response after emails and phone call to them. The issues were minor: burned out lightbulbs, no batteries in the DVD remote control, no dishwashing soap for the dishwasher and we understand that these things happen as a lot of guests rent the unit. The hairdryer was a problem as the plug would not stay in the wall socket. Didn't bother to report as they never Contacted us to remove the issues. The wifi was non existent when we arrived and was not back until after 24 hours , after contacting the resort's tech support. Also the security is poor with no deadbolt in the front door. And the code for the front door lockbox is so easy and not sure it is ever changed. So once inside, you never know if maintenance or ?? will enter using lockbox

"Great place with a great location!
We found this place to be just what we wanted. A place where you could relax and have plenty of room for friends when they came to visit. It was within walking distance of the beach and the store. It also had easy access to the main road leading to the airport and to Volcano"

"Enjoyable with a few flaws
Very spacious, very quiet at night (very loud family with many children next door made sure we heard them during the day). Location also great - right off of Alii Drive and steps away from the shopping center.
We had a problem with the Wifi for the unit but the folks at the resort office solved it by providing a different resort wifi access. There was someone else's hair in the bed sheets, and the shower was a bit weak , but those issues altogether did not bother us as much as the fact that the property manager called us on the first day we were there to ask to show the unit to a potential buyer - the fact that the unit is on the market for sale should have been disclosed. Even though it was OK for us to say we didn't want to be disturbed, we wound up feeling like we were inconveniencing the owner. Had the property manager disclosed this to us when we called in about the unit prior to booking, we might have been ok with a showing. "

"A Great Place to Stay in Keauhou
We had a great time in 8204 at Kona Coast Resort at Keauhou Gardens. The pictures on VRBO do the place justice; they are accurate. The loft is locked, obviously for use by the owners. Nevertheless, there was plenty of room on the main level for the two of us. We loved the oversized bathroom with the two-person shower. The lanai overlooks the resort, with the ocean visible just off to our right. The views of the sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking. The air conditioning units in the living room and bedroom worked fine. Wireless Internet was good. If you normally sleep on a firm mattress, the bedroom will suit you well.
The resort has a number of amenities available for renters of 8204 - tennis courts, shuffleboard, a poolside bar & grill - all of which made our stay memorable. A couple of Weber barbecues are available for your use a short 30-second walk from 8204; they are communal.
The service we received from Knutson & Associates was very good; a couple minor maintenance issues were swiftly resolved to our satisfaction. Any questions we had were answered promptly and professionally.
The location was perfect - a short drive or nice walk from the Keauhou Shopping Centre and Sam Choy's.
We would recommend this property for a couple. "

"GreatPlace. Security maybe not as good as you would hope
Place was quiet, clean, generally really comfortable. I have stayed in other units at Kona Coast and knew what to expect. This was as good as any other unit that we have stayed at as a relative of a timeshare owner at Kona Coast for the past 25 years. However, we were ROBBED by someone the day we l left! Security had let a suspicious vehicle into the complex so that they could pick up a friend. Well they grabbed about $4000 (by the time we replace it) worth of stuff in one suitcase. Luckily it was the last 4 hours of our trip and it was mostly clothing and some souviners. Very few things in the baggage were irreplaceable. I have been going to Hawaii for 25 years and always have been careful to lock my belongings or not bring valuables. But I was loading our luggage into our car, stupidly left the tailgate open while I went back for additional luggage....and it was GONE. I figured it would have been safe in a SECURE complex for at least 5 min. I was wrong. Worst of all, Wynham has denied any possibility of reimbursement for my lost property under THEIR hired security. I will still likely book at this resort again.....with a more watchful eye. It really left a sour taste in my mouth. Sucked all the ALOHA out of me. But live and learn. Again great place just not as secure as you would hope."

"The Perfect Getaway
What a beautiful spot. Clean, great location, very well equipped and beautifully decorated. My wife and I have stayed in numerous places on the Big Island over the past 20 years and this one is at the top of the list. Would highly recommend it to anyone. Finding the right building and getting WiFi and pool access could be improved with more information. Overall it was the perfect getaway.

Our rental experience could not have been better.
My daughter competed in her first Ironman World Chanpionship in Kona and our rental played a big part in making this race fantastic. The rental was just far enough away from downtown Kona to be relazing and close enough to the highway to conveniently get to anywhere we wanted on the island.
We are already making plans to return to Hawaii for the 2013 race and hope to rent through Kona Resort Rentals again.
Thank you"

"Nicely appointed Condo in NON OCEANFRONT Resort
This condo was pretty nice. You can tell the owners care about the place...great matresses and everything you could need from coolers to towels and more. The only bummer is that the property is pretty far from the ocean. We knew we wouldn't be oceanfront, but there is a huge golf course between you and the water. The pool area was pretty nice...and the condo complex is well set up for kids (we had our 4 year old with us so having the pool & playgronds on site was nice.) The staff was friendly. A great value for Hawaii...and if it was adults only I'd suggest an oceanfront place with less amenities to drink in the ocean. Again, this unit is well done and very well cared for. "

"awesome vacations!
The vacations were awesome, the property is worthy to stay; the resort is very nice and have a great location. The house is amazing, it has beautiful furniture and distribution plan, and would have been even better if the condo were clean. They really need to check over their housekeeping services, and make themselves sure they are really cleaning the house before any guess arrival. It was so frustrating and disappointing to find the kitchen and bathrooms to be very dirty and disorganized."
