Wonderful view
Can’t beat the view and crashing waves. Condo is very well equipped and well located for access to Kona. Only negatives are that it could use some updating such as balcony door and that it’s a wooden building so you hear footsteps from upstairs.

Fantastic condo, great location!
Clean, well equipped condo right on the ocean. Listen to the waves crash in the Livingroom, peace and quiet in the bedroom.<br/><br/>15 min walk into town.

Sea Village in Kona 2022
The condo we rented at Sea Village (Unit 1-203) in Kona was absolutely wonderful! We were on the second floor and our balcony/lanai was truly oceanfront with the waves crashing just below us. We watched surfers and had our morning meals out there every day, as well as making sure we were there in time to watch the sunset each evening. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We appreciated the ease of having a coded entry. The pool and jacuzzi were a welcome refresh at the end of the day.

Wonderful Views!
The condo is in a great location! You feel like you are on top of the water, you basically are! Each morning we watched colorful tropical fish swimming along the rocky shoreline below. The place was very well stocked with everything we needed. It was also very clean. The King size bed was very comfortable as well.

Well-equipped rental in great location
We had a great vacation in this condo. First of all, the location is excellent! If you love the sound of ocean waves, this is the place for you. 24/7, the sound of the ocean just outside the lanai.<br/>We've done a number of rentals before and this one was exceptionally well-equipped. Due to COVID, we ate many of our meals at home. The kitchen had plenty of pans, dishes, cooking utensils, etc. There were even some basics like spices and cooking spray. The complex's gas grills are just steps away, so we utilized those a couple nights. The pool is also very convenient to this unit.<br/>About the only negative comment I'd have is that the sofa in the living room sags toward the middle, making it a bit uncomfortable for two people to share. We would definitely stay here in the future.

Affordable Oceanfront
Very nice, reasonably furnished & equipped, and fairly priced 1-bedroom oceanfront condo. Pool, hot tub, gas grilles all available. Longish walk downtown. AC in living room and bedroom are effective, but noisy - but that masks talkative guests and kids on stairs and landing immediately outside the bedroom. Lanai is lovely, especially in the morning. Only a poor too soft mattress in serious need of replacement keeps me from giving it 5-stars across the board. If you have any back issues be aware. If that were resolved, we would highly recommend this unit.

Nice unit lived up to listing
Sea Village is a very nice, well-maintained property. This 2nd floor (stairs) lanai ocean front unit with bay and town view was very well equipped, management seems to have guided owners to provide everything that most vacationers would like to have in a rental. There are a fairly large number of units, the only negative I would offer is that it seems like there would be an additional pool for such a large property with no beach.I would recommend the owner deep extraction clean the tile and grout floor and shower for the best overall appearance and experience. Everyone there, owners and guests alike, think the spa is 2-4 degrees too hot. The owners should be able to influence that.

This vacation rental is in a perfect location with a stunning view. We had breakfast and dinner every night on the patio overlooking the water and watching the sunset while we ate dinner. The rental is extremely clean and very well stocked with kitchen utensils. There is a grocery store 1 1/2 miles away. There are beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear , towels etc. for your use.

Response from Kona Sunsets Vacation Rentals; Friday, August 14, 2015
This guest contacted me at 10:30 at night upon arrival. Was very upset after a long trip. Some of the units in building one are being refurbished inside. The dumpster is located in the parking lot. no where near the unit (living space)
but unfortinately the first thing you see when you park. Although an eyesoar it has no affect on the view, pool and BBQ area. It has not been an issue for other guests.
I asked the guest to call me first thing in the morning and I would address his issues. He called and was very apologetic saying the A/C worked fine and all was well. That was the last I heard from him.
The unit was just upgraded with new kitchen counter tops and is in beautiful condition. It also has one of the best oceanviews in the complex. I am sorry this individual was unable to enjoy his stay

I'd like to respond to that. The helpful notebook on the counter invites guests to use the air conditioning, but asks that you not leave doors and windows open when using, and that exorbitant use could result in an additional charge. I found this to be reasonable. Would you run your air conditioning at home with the doors and windows open? <br/><br/>We were comfortable all the time, as there are several ceiling fans, a tower fan in the bedroom, and also a stand fan. The only time we used the AC was our wedding day, in order to keep my bride's makeup and hair as fresh as possible while dressing for the wedding. The fans kept us quite comfortable. <br/><br/>We will DEFINITELY ask for this same unit the next time we go to the Big Island!

We have been to this unit several years in a row, spending 30 days each time. This year a lot of renovations were taking place at Sea Village and we were not informed at all.

As for the unit it is in dire need of care and maintenance. From the screens that allowed bugs to fly right through it to the stove that didn't heat properly.

The unit was represented on the website. It was clean and well kept and the communication with management was good. The only thing that was a bit of a surprise was the AC. I expect AC throughout a condominium but this was retrofitted with AC units in the living room and bedroom. It made a world of difference compared to having no AC but is not what one thinks of AC typically and we still needed fans and ceiling fans to move the cool air around.
