Great location of the the village...Stunning views very relaxing especially at night while watching the sea. The rooms are very nice , you can really sea the ocean. Pool was nice, the food as as well. It was just a memorable vacation. Planning to back sooner

We spent a week during the Christmas holidays at this 2 bdrm/2 bath condo and were overall pleased with it. We rented from the owner via http://www.vrbo.com/336199. A few pros and cons:
Pros: AMAZING ocean view - the lanai was directly on the ocean and you couldn't ask for a more spectacular view. The crashing sound of the waves lulled us to sleep in the living room (more on that in the cons); nice size and perfect configuration for our family of 4 with the 2nd bedroom having 2 twins for our kids; very useful to have a full kitchen, washer/dryer, free shared internet; (long) walking distance to the village of Kailua-Kona and centrally located as long as you have a car; plentiful free parking. Nice looking communal BBQ and eating area and pool/hot tub, which we didn't use. The price ($185/night+cleaning, tax) was very reasonable given the time of year. Pictures on the VRBO link are accurate.

Cons: the 2 bedrooms faced the parking lot and the neighbouring condo village. Despite a 10pm quiet time, most nights people were outside in their communal area enjoying themselves - they weren't particularly loud but we could hear every word (or musical note) while we were trying to sleep. The parking lot/exterior building lights shone brightly into the windows which didn't have any coverings other than frosted glass slats (hence why my husband and I ended up sleeping on the living room pullout). The hot water situation was very limited, especially when you have a teenager used to extravagantly long showers. As I've seen mentioned in various places, there were little tiny ants that would congregate on the kitchen counters - not too many but definitely present. This is more a general issue in the area than a specific issue with this unit - just be aware.

All in all, we were pleased with this choice, especially as it was near family we were visiting. Since the adults had the living room pullout option, we were able to sleep while enjoying the sound of the ocean.

Note that Sea Village is not on a beach - it's a fairly stiff descent to lava rock oceanside which could be dangerous. We saw a few people swimming off this area but I would NOT at all recommend it for safety reasons. There were times when huge waves would crash over the first retaining wall and hit the second one and it looked like there was a pretty strong current and undertow by the shoreline.

The location of the Sea Village is perfect - right on the beach. Every room has a view of the ocean! There were a several of downsides to our stay. There was a bathtub in the unit, but the hot water heater has a capacity of only 20 gallons. We could never get enough hot water to bathe the kids. The maintenance man tried to make the water hot enough, but to no avail. Also,try to avoid getting a unit where the bedrooms face out onto the Alii Drive. There's a lot of traffic on that street, and it's noisy until late at night. We were in unit two. I think unit #1 has bedrooms away from the street. We were hoping for a king size bed in the master bedroom, but it was a queen. Appearently the resort doesn't have king size beds. The second bedroom was tiny, and has twin beds. Overall, we got a good value for our money.

We rented two units with our family and had a wonderful time. Great ocean views, excellent pool and common area.
