Alii property is kept up well, easy parking, easy to navigate, great location on the ocean and great sunsets! Individual condo was also well furnished and comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay at this condo! Close drive to Kona. Easy check in and out and great pool! Beautiful sunsets rights on the water. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!

This fully furnished condo comes with everything you need for a comfortable and convenient stay. Ideally located, it’s about a 2.5-hour drive to the Volcano and just an hour if you're heading north.The kitchenette and laundry area are well-stocked, and you'll find plenty of beach gear for relaxing days by the shore. Free parking is available close to the unit. Please note that the condo is located on the third floor and accessible by stairs only. The only drawback is the use of portable A/C units in the living room and master bedroom.

The condo was immaculately clean and the host provided appropriate cooking tools for all our needs. The host even provided laundry detergent, first aid kit, and other needed supplies you wouldn't have thought of. The king bed was very comfortable- it is two twins, not a full size king. The lanai was comfortable and furnished beautifully- the view gorgeous. Everything was perfect and I would book again and again. *If you are hot sleeper, no A/C... but plenty of extra fans to place around the condo. Over-all the cleanliness and little thoughtful extras were what will keep this condo booked.

Great location, overlooking the bay - lovely sunsets. Nice to relax on the nicely furnished lanai on the days it rained. Only downside was lack of A/C on the couple of nights that it got warm for us (plenty of fans though); then it got rather loud with the surf from the open patio door. No worries as they did warn us before we rented. Everything else was great - I'd recommend if you're ok without A/C.

The checkin was a bit difficult because I wasn’t given the code to a lock box which opened the screen door. I only had the code for the keypad. I was with my 8yo so that was a bit frustrating but the Vacasa people was easy to reach and they helped me out. The place is very clean, comfortable and well stocked but they only left two extra toilet paper rolls which felt a bit stingy. They brought more when I complained which was appreciated. The management is very responsive. The unit, as the listing states, has no AC. It was OK but I could see it being hot as summer approaches. The complex is quiet and the pool is very nice Be aware this place is listed for sale, if you book a trip its possible your reservation gets cancelled if the property is sold.

From the moment we arrived, we felt at home in this beautifully remodeled and impeccably clean retreat. The bright, airy space offered stunning ocean views, and the soothing sound of the waves lulled us to sleep each night. We made great use of the beach gear and appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout. The hosts were incredibly responsive, and their welcome book and recommendations were so helpful. It was the perfect start to our vacation. We truly didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return!

The condominium was as represented and in a quiet neighborhood. It was very clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the ocean from the Lanai. We had a minor problem with the AC but the property management team was quick to resolve the problem. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

The photos used to promote this property did not reflect it's condition when we rented it. We arrived to find that the nice clean carpet shown in the pictures was filthy, as were the circulation and extraction fans throughout and the refrigerator exterior. There is general repair/replacement required for the doors, trim and some structural and floor areas. The sofa and other furniture also need replacement. The whole apartment requires a complete update, repainting and refreshing, which apparently it hasn't had for years. After that, it may be more suitable for use. We would not have rented this property had the photos more accurately shown its condition. It does not reflect well on the owner, property manager or VRBO to have this happen.

This is a great location with a great view. This is right on the water so you can listen to the ocean all night. House was very clean and well maintained. The house had everything need for our stay plus some extras. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to stay while in Hawaii.

Location good. Comfortable bed. We knew it was an older unit. However we expected everything to be working. There is no air conditioning but we thought it would be okay with the ceiling fans. They are old and don’t move much air. The carpets are stained and dirty. Dishwasher only works on light cycle. It just really needs some updating

Beautiful view. Shaded deck. Extremely well stocked with anything u could want. Nice towels and sheets. Only issue we picked this unit for the view and two recliners When we arrived the two recliners had been replaced with two very uncomfortable rattan swivel rockers!! Pictures were not updated. Made for an uncomfortable stay. Couch was not comfortable either. Foot stole was wooden with no padding.

This was my 2nd time staying at the Alli Villas property. This time I choose the 3rd floor for added security. It was comfortable, roomy, clean had all amenities as an apartment would. It was a true peek a boo view from the lani all the way to to left. It's 1st building at the entrance so you get full on sun and street noise in the bedroom but only if you open the window I kept every window and curtain closed to keep it cool because there are portable ac units. I loved that. The kitchen had everything. I cooked every breakfast and majority of my dinners because I would always be in the house at dark. I packed my lunch and cooler daily because this was a beach themed vacation for me. My favorite is disappearing magic sands beach.the theater chairs are comfortable great for naps and watching tv. The pool was nice and heated. I wish I would've spent more time out there at night when returned. The blackout drapes worked great may need laundering the house has a strange smell which I think came from the drapes I just used air freshener. The property is ocean front so I was able to walk to shore and sit on the benches and watch the beautiful view. This property is beautiful and well groomed.I would stay here again

If you like private, amazing view of the ocean from the place you stay including sunsets, if you like to hear the crashing of the ocean waves all the time, if you like an open and breezy feel, if you like a clean, comfortable home with all the amenities you desire then this place is for you. The location is great, the resort is great and the place has one of the best views on the island. I spent 20 days there in Jan/Feb of 2025, 20 perfect days. The owner was supper responsive to all questions and made sure I was well taken care of. 10 out of 10 for sure.

Our family stayed here for 5 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It is right by the ocean and the view during daybreak is stunning.It is centrally located and you can reach many of the beaches and attractions in less than 30 mins. We bought groceries and cooked at the place as the kitchen was very well stocked. Highly recommendedminutes.

This is a well run condo association. The common areas are well maintained. Assigned parking spaces assured us proximity to our rental. Best pool of my many rentals. Large, warm, clean. Lots of sitting area and chairs and lending library surrounding pool. The large lanae/belcony views the neighboring pool area and ocean. Good for whale watching. It was shaded all day long in January, so stays cool. All appliances worked well. There were many dishes and cookwear to choose from. The sunsets were wonderful.

Reviewer Comments:
Pleasant place to do nothing while in Hawaii, that is the best experience. The place was very clean and comfortable. It took us awhile to figure out the light/fan switches. We had one problem with the air conditioner or lights not working in the master bedroom. Eventually we had to move the bed and reconnect the plug that had slightly disconnected. The help staff were very helpful in this regard. The ocean view is just as it shows in the picture. The area was quiet throughout our stay, even though it was highest season. We loved that little gecko friends shared the lanai with us. Mahalo.
