Ron and his wife stayed in F-21 Fairway Villas in August 2009. Upon his return, he posted this review on another vacation rental website. This is what he wrote:
"From the moment we opened the front door, we were in love with this home. My wife and I have been to the Big Island nine previous times and stayed in all sorts of accommodations, at all price levels, all around the island. The combination of this beautiful condo and it's outstanding location, combine to make this our favorite. I like to cook and appreciated cooking fresh fish every night in the gourmet kitchen. We then would inevitably end up on the lanai enjoying the fresh island breeze. The lanai is on the north side of the building, meaning it's always in the shade.
* The unit is on the second floor next to an easy stairway but there's an elevator just a few steps away.
* The unit is VERY quiet.
* There were plenty of towels and pillows. The bathroom was stocked with full-sized bars of soap and bottles of Pert shampoo.
* It's located a short walk from the mini mart at the Kings Shops and the new beautiful grocery store at the Queens Shops.
* The unit was very clean.
* Spacious rooms.
We can't wait to stay here again!
If you are considering staying here and have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I am in no way affiliated with the owner. I found this condo the way you did: by surfing HomeAway. I have also been to the Big Island many times now and would be happy to share my recommendations. My Yahoo username and email is ronjm

Robin and her husband stayed in F-21 Fairway Villas in September 2009. Upon her return, she emailed the owner with her appreciation of the unit and authorized the owner to post her thanks. Robin said,
"Aloha Rebecca, I wanted to write you a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed our visit to HI. Your place is absolutely gorgeous – we just wished we would have had more time to enjoy it! Another 3 days would have been grand but…we had to come back to reality. Yuck. You are welcome to post my comments. We will absolutely recommend your place to others."

My husband and I stayed in this condo
for two weeks, just after Christmas.
We certainly can echo all the positive
comments from others, and can't "outdo"
what has already been said. This is a
beautifully furnished condo, owned by
people who obviously care very much
about their second home. It was very
clean, and we appreciated the little
things that are sometimes absent in
other condos. There were adequate
paper towels, drawstring garbage bags,
a new sponge/scrubber for the kitchen
sink, and an orderly arrangement of
cleaning supplies. We loved the north
facing lanai, which never got too hot
to enjoy. We ate almost all of our
meals there. Fairway Villas are in
an excellent location. My husband
is a golfer and took the car to the
golf course, while I was able to walk
to the beach, shops, etc. We also
spent time at Hapuna Beach, which is
one of our favorites. We have visited
the Big Island many times, so have
done much sightseeing. This condo is
the place to have a relaxing, idyllic
vacation!

We stayed at this lovely condo for a week. We loved the fact that everything you could possibly need was already provided. The complex and grounds were well kept and
a even a covered parking stall was provided, which is a must during the summer. We will definitely stay here again when we visit the Big Island. |

We stayed in F-21 the last two weeks of May. We were extremely happy we chose this lovely condo. It was so clean and beautifully furnished and decorated with much thought. The grounds are well cared for and it has a great pool. We liked that it had a security gate. It was also nice having the covered parking which kept the car cool. It is by far the best complex for being close to A beach and the shops. We loved eating on the patio daily. It is also a great set up for two couples. Our favorite beach was Mauna Kea which is also great for snorkeling. If you like to snorkel, a must is Honaunau (Place of Refuge) and the Captain Cook Monument Bay (my favorite). We took Sea Quest and they bring you to both. A great tour. We would recommend F-21 and hope to return again. It is beautiful and peaceful. Dave & Ginger Johnson

Wow! Where do we start? The location of Fairway
Villas is perfect, just far enough away from the
commerce and congestion of Kailua-Kona to really
feel secluded and "away from it all" and yet an easy
few steps to incredible snorkeling at Anaeho'omalu
Bay and great dining and shopping at the Kings'
Shops and Queen's Marketplace. A couple of
grocery stores within very short drives allow you to
stock the refrigerator with food, libations and
refreshments, so you can maximize the comfort
and convenience of your condo stay.
The unit itself, F-21, is fantastic! It looks exactly
like the online photographs, but better in person. I
haven't stayed at other Fairway Villa units, but I
have rented other vacation homes before, and F-21
is at the head of the pack. Simply immaculate, we
felt as if we were the very first tenants ever. Decor
felt more like island plantation home than beach
house, lending a richness and elegance to the stay,
particularly with the expanse of the golf course
laying out before you when on the lanai, which is a
great place to consume those aforementioned
supplies. The master bedroom has an incredible
view of the stars from the bed, what a rare pleasure
that is, and a very comfortable
dressing/bathing/shower area. A large walk in
closet that I wish I had in my own home, plus
double sinks so that we could both perform our
daily rituals simultaneously. I loved the glass
shower, my wife luxuriated in the large tub.
The kitchen is as clean and modern as one could
hope for, a spotless black refrigerator, granite
counters and cherry wood cabinets feel more like
the Ritz-Carlton than island hide away. The
dishwasher was reasonably quiet, which is
important to me. Complete with overhead fans,
cross ventilation from north to south, its just a
lovely place to land after all the days' activities.
Finally, the pool is close enough that it seems 'right
there' yet just far enough away to not be bothered
by the sounds of splashing and children playing.
You can tell, we liked this place. Perfectly situated
in a perfect location, the nightly rental seems silly
cheap for what must be one of the best spots on
the north Kona coast. The day after we arrived
home, we checked the online calendar to start
planning our next visit. Its that good.
To the owner, we say, "Mahalo".
Aloha!

We very much enjoyed our February stay in Fairway
Villas F-21. The unit is very nicely decorated and
comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed many of our
meals on the lanai watching the golfers. We are
already looking forward to our return again this next
winter. |

"Our stay in #45518, F-21 Fairway Villas was wonderful. The pictures were exactly what the unit looked like. I especially like that a couple of times I emailed Rebecca the owner and she was great with the questions and very friendly. We felt very home and relaxed. I would definitely recommend her unit and would even like to return again. There is so much to see and we only saw a small portion just because we were so content on where we were. You may use thhis as a testimonial for the unit."

| We very much enjoyed our stay in your Hawaiian Home-away-from-Home. It was beautifully decorated and very clean. We really liked the unit's close proximity to the pool area, BBQs, golf course, shops and restaurants. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thank you. |

| We stayed at the Fairway Villas, F-21, for a week. When we arrived we were impressed by the property - absolutely beautiful, but we were blown away when we opened the front door of the condo. It's definitely high class and has everything you could need. The location is ideal - close to the pool but not too close! A quick walk down to A Bay, shopping, food - perfect! We enjoyed sipping our drinks out on the lanai and taking in the beauty of the island. We did not want to leave! Thank you for the memories! |

| We stayed in the property for over a week in January 2007 and did not want to leave. The condo is immaculate, stocked with everything you need, and is located central to everything on the Kona coast. Upscale shopping and restaurants are steps away, and if you somehow get tired of the nearby beaches, the pool (as well the barbecue/picnic area/exercise room) is right outside your door. It was nice to come home to such a nice condo each day. Breakfast on the patio overlooking the golf course was also a daily treat. We'll be back! |
