We were pleased with the accommodations. The condo accommodated the 7 of us and was convenient to get a (small)wheelchair around. The condo was very clean and well furnished with all we needed; an abundance of beach towels, beach toys, snorkel gear, ice chest, even an underwater watch. We were apprehensive about renting a condo from someone we did not know. However, Art and Kathy reassured us and were very nice to fill us in with good recommendations and comments. Parking was convenient even for handicapped. We enjoyed the lanai and the birds that came to visit us. Did not see any bugs even though they said to keep an eye open for ants. We have to say that the unit exceeded out expectations. We definitely recommend Art and Kathy's Condo.
(A list of places to visit has been edited out and can be found in the guestbook.)

Grandparents, Parents, and 2 teens! We were all very comfortable in your lovely condo. Spent time at Hapuna Beach and watched turtles at Kahalu'u Beach Park. We traveled to Kealakekua Bay and saw (from afar) Capt. Cook's monument. We did a little shopping an spent Christmas here with a Turkey dinner and all the trimmings.
Thank you very much!!

We have enjoyed another 6 weeks in your very comfortable home. No earthquake this year-just a tremmor :-). Hapuna Beach was wonderful. Snorkeling at Kahalu'u Beach just a little south about a mile was great...including so many turtles. Other goodies: Royal Kona Luau, Kirin Chinese Restaurant at Hilton Waikaloa, Don the Beachcomber at the Royal Kona-all terrific! Thank you so much again!

We had such a good time here. Most enjoyed the lanai every morning while sipping coffee and listening to slack key guitar and the birds, etc.. Visted Hilo and Tsunami Museum, South Kona Coffee Plantation, and Kilauea Volcano. Relaxed and read few books, hung out at the beach. (Already planning return trip.) Mahalo

Aloha Art and Kathy!
I wanted to thank you for the pre-trip email you sent warning about Flossie. Thankfully, Flossie decided to head south a bit and missed the Big Island. A friend of mine in Honolulu called to check in on me. She was having gale force winds over there. She asked if I was being "blown away". When I listened to her message, I thought she meant, "blown away by the sunset", which I was watching with a rum drink in hand. Anyhow, thanks for your concern. Your condo was the perfect place to stay. My family and I have stayed at the Royal Sea Cliff many times, but I think your place was our favorite. My dad was especially impressed wiath the "sounds of nature" clock/radio in his room. Think I'll get him one for his birthday. It was a perfect trip for me. I really enjoyed my stay in your condo and hope to use it again next year. The bad part of the vacation is the ending. I now have to realize that my real life is not SCUBA diving when I want, rum drinks at night, Java on the Rock Kona coffee in the morning and naps during the day. It's back to work.
Thank You again!

Sorry we didn't take Art's advice to relax. No regrets! Absolutely loved the condo. Great luaua at the Royal Kona Resort-food great and all alcholic beverages included. Hopefully, we saw all of the island-a good guess was when we saw the mileage on the car-over 1,000. PS. 1 request-next time please tsurn the volcano back on! Mahalo!

Travel book by Doughty was excellent and we used it everyday. Views from lanai spectacular. We enjoyed the poolside and lobby programs (special mahalo to Joy and crew!). Everything is well equpped and maintained. Whales and turtles were spotted on several beaches. You will be our 1st choice when we return and our friends will be made aware of it as well. Many Mahalos!

We enjoyed time with our daughter and her two kids. The five of us were so comfortable in your lovely condo! I thought the binder that you put together about the unit, Kona and the Big Islnad was really nice. Imagine my surprise to learn that my beloved Galley restaurant is no longer there! We really enjoyed our stay, and I would definitely stay there again AND recommend it to friends going to Kona. Thanks so much.

We really enjoyed staying in your condo! My husband and I shared the unit with my father and stepmother, and all four of us had a wonderful time. The condo is not only extremely comfortable, but very attractive inside with the ideal setting outside! Thank you very much for making it available. I know we were much happier there than we would have been in a hotel--and isn't that what travel is about?

This was ones of our best visits over to Hawaii ever. Kahalu'u is an awesome snorkel beach. The area of water in front of Outrigger Keahou Beach Hotel is pretty to look at...fish and turtles can be seen from the lounge area above. PS: Really appreciated the snorkel mask! Mine was leaking! Thank you!

We had a wonderful trip! Your condo worked out great...lots of room for the kids to play. We noticed that the condo was very quiet; we couldn't hear heavy footsteps above or voices below which was very nice. The only suggestion I could think of was it would have been nice to have 2 keys on a couple occasions. Other than that it was very welcoming! Thanks for everything.
(owners note: only 1 key will fit in the lock box. For additional keys stop by the Sunquest office and ask.)

We were there for my mother-in-law's wedding and we had many family members staying in different places. I think we were the only ones who didn't have some sort of complaint about our accomdations.

We were extremely pleased with the accommodations. I am always apprehensive when renting a property from someone I don't know but I have to say the unit exceeded our expectations. It was very clean and had everything we could possibly need. I was surprised by the abundance of beach towels, umbrellas, beach mats, toys, snorkel gear and everything else we could possibly need for going to the beach. We will definitely be staying here again.

I wanted to send you this e-mail to tell you how much we appreciated your condo from April 13 through the 19th. It was wonderful and so well stocked. The kids had a marvelous time with the beach equipment and at the two pools. They also enjoyed the ukulele lessons and the pupu party on Tuesday evening. It is a lovely place to stay and the sunsets were spesctacular. I was also able to watch my grandchildren papasail from the pool and he 5th floor sitting area at the beach end of the complex. Thanks for adding so much to our stay on the Big Island. Everyone but me walked out to the lava flow. They came back tird and hot but so excited about seethe the flow.

Your condo was fantastic! We have stayed in a variety of condos in Hawaii during our 12 trips to the islands, and your condo was by far top of the line! We couldn't have been more inpressed with the view, the inside decor and cleanliness. Since we were setting up the accommodations for ourselves and another couple, we were very happy to have found the perfect unit to meet our needs. Everyone was equally pleased! We also never anticipated the gardens surrounding the interior of the complex and really enjoyed just walkling around the common areas.

We had stayed at Royal Sea Cliff on three previous occasions before finding Unit 616. Your condo is so much superior that it made our vacation even more enjoyable. We appreciated the "extras" - table and chairs to have breakfast on lanai, beach chairs, snorkel gear, well-equipped with everything generally. We certainly will return and recommend it to anyone heading to the Big Island.
Keep up the good work! |

We loved your place. I think I may have told you we have stayed at the Royal Sea Cliff two other times so we were familiar with, and liked the layout of your condo!
We loved how you really make your guests feel at home, especially leaving many things avaialble for your guests' use! It was great having the beach chairs to take to Hapuna and having beach towels to use our first full day there. (The case they were packed in arrived 30 hours late.) We loved everthing about the condo, absolutely no complaints with the unit itself. The only thing we couldn't find that we could have used was a cookie sheet or 9x13 pan for doing rolls. in an unfamiliar kitchen, we could have just overlooked them!
Thank you again for making this process so easy! Happy New year!

Just wanted to let you know we did indeed have a wonderful time on the Big Island and in your condo. Everything was perfect-we arrived after spending 4 days on the North Shore of Oahu in a "bugalow" that was in need of some repairs. Needless to say, when we arrived at the condo, we were extremely happy to be in such lovely surroundings. Feel free to use our name as a reference if anyone thinking of renting has questions/concerns.
