Everything was great! We spent two weeks in the unit and had absolutely nothing to complain about. We were warned in advance about the assigned parking spot being cramped and so we requested a smaller car. All worked out well.

I really enjoyed my stay here! The place felt very safe and was super clean. I was in town for the Ironman event, and the location was great—about a mile from where most of the action happens, but still nice and quiet, which I really appreciated.I didn’t use the pool, but I relaxed in the room and cooked most of my meals. There was a good amount of cooking supplies, and I loved that they provided Tupperware, an ice maker, and even a rice cooker! The washer and dryer were a big plus too—they provided starter pods which was really thoughtful.The shower and water pressure were amazing. The only thing I’d note is that there aren’t blackout curtains, so it gets bright in the mornings (coming from Florida, I’m used to sleeping in ), but honestly, if I hadn’t been here for the race, I would’ve loved the natural light.The seating options inside and out on the back porch were great, and I absolutely loved the cart available for unloading groceries—it made things so easy! Overall, I had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again if I come back. Pictures are from my checkout day.

The place is very clean and nicely decorated. While not beachside, we still got a beautiful view of the ocean and the foliage on the property. We enjoyed the large lanai while having breakfast in the morning. Air conditioning is a must in Kona especially this time of year and was so glad to have it here. The kitchen is small but efficient and has everything you need. It has all the beach things you will need as well.

Kitchen was great and well equipped! Loved having two full bathrooms. Bed was comfy. Location was great. Not as much ocean view as I’d like, but still very nice.

First I want to thank Tim & Igor, the property management company, as we had to change our dates with no problems and then let us in early because of not feeling well. Tim & Igor were great. The location was perfect for walking into town. Everything was perfect. This condo had everything you need for a wonderful stay. Recommend 10 out of 10. We will defiantly be back.

We had such a wonderful time. Condo is a slice of heaven. Clean. Comfortable. PerfectI loved Lanai and spent most time when we were not out exploring out in one of the comfortable chairs enjoying breeze and views.

This place is as advertised, and is lovely. The bedrooms are large and the lanai is indeed huge, and has some comfortable furniture as well. The third floor location means the lanai looks out at surrounding treetops and many birds. There was a closet full of beach gear we could borrow. Everything was clean. The location is good - about a 10 minute walk into the restaurant and shopping area. One of the best places I have stayed!

We appreciated all the extra little things that really helped make this a home away from home. Such as a reclining love seat, a motion night light in the bathroom, liquid hand soap, coasters, some spices available, laundry basket, and stuff to enjoy the beach without having to pack it or purchase. I'm really fussy about the bed and found this one very comfortable with a nice pillow top. Our only complaint was the air conditioner was loud and made it just barely comfortable. Overall I would definitely try to stay here again if I come back.

It was lovely!! Very clean!! And comfortable! The only downside was we couldn’t figure out how to fold the hide a bed (couch) back up!!! They pretty much had everything we needed from dishes, coolers to beach towels. Thank you for a wonderful visit!! We would surely come back!! Nicole & Tina

What a wonderful sea paradise home. The lanai was so beautiful along with the rest of the condo. It was exactly like the pictures (maybe even better). Gina provided excellent communications and information. The kitchen is ideal along with the coffee bar. Gina was gracious with supplies to get us going on our stay. You can walk to restaurants and shopping. The condo has a parking space which was big enough for the Chevy Malibu we rented. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back.

We loved staying at the condo for 4 nights. Well stocked. Even had beach gear and a small cooler. Nice little touches. Sliding screen doors could use some maintenance. They didn’t slide well at all. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful condo, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and ocean. It has a nice bbq area by the pool, or all of the kitchen amenities you need to cook indoors. Communication with our host was so easy, she is very kind, and responds quickly. This is our 2nd time staying in her condo, and if we come back to the Big Island again, I hope we will be able to stay here a 3rd time!

Great view (except power lines). The outrigger race went by. Great walking location to town. Great bed in master. Not so great, lumpy couch. Could use some instructions with tv, or maybe it's just island Spectrum. Nice deck. Corner unit does have a lot of street noise. AC units need cleaning. We cleaned the master filter. Didn't use others.

Really nice place for a family stay. We loved hanging out on the lanai. It’s a great spot for birdwatching, bring binoculars! It got pretty hot even with the AC units. I feel like the AC units need some updating. But we stayed comfortable enough. The pool is more geared towards adults lounging. There was an attendant that made sure kids weren’t disruptive (loud, splashing, and specifically no Marco Polo) and they didn’t allow balls or floaties, which I thought took a bit of the fun out of the pool. Great for relaxing though. Overall I loved the building, it was nice and quiet and a great location for walking into town. The parking was nice too and easy to access elevator. I would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed your property and the view from the lanai of the ocean. I was a little concerned that we wouldn’t be able to keep the temp comfortable but with the a/c on and the fans going, it was perfect! We also liked just sitting on the lanai at breakfast and supper and feeling the breezes. I used the pool 3 times. Wonderful! And we treated it like our own. Respectfully. Having the beach towels and cooler was great for snorkeling trips. We got by with the one toilet. We renewed our vows after 44 years!

We had a great stay at the Akina Pacific. The location is on the corner unit, which gives you an unobstructed view of the ocean from the covered balcony. The unit is also very conveniently located to the underground parking lot and the poo, and an easy walk into town. We had ample space and appreciated the beach towels, beach chairs and boogie boards, and in-unit washer and dryer. You can walk into town within 5 minutes. It was quiet and clean. While the unit could use a fresh coat of paint and is a little dated, it was very clean and comfortable. Our arrival was also right when there was a tsunami evacuation taking place. The management company provided us with updates and evacuation instructions that were very helpful and much appreciated.

The unit was very spacious and accommodating with 3 bathrooms. The balcony was amazing and spacious to enjoy dinners and morning coffee while viewing the ocean. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and then some. We did not want for anything in that kitchen! The only downfall was the cleanliness of the floors. We are used to taking off our shoes in the house. However, when that is requested, you need to make sure people’s feet won’t turn black from all of the dirt on the floor. The floors were filthy. Otherwise, we loved everything else about the unit and location.

We are so glad we found your condo. The wall of windows is beautiful overlooking the ocean. You thought of so many extras that were handy to have like spices bags tin foil, etc. Especially handy were things for the beach, sunscreen for ocean. Umbrellas to use if we needed because it rains often on the Big Island.

Man, oh man! What a wonderful place to hang out at and rest your head after a day full of fun! Being such a short walk to town is such a treat as well. The property is absolutely beautiful and is very well maintained all throughout. The condo itself is amazing! Complete kitchen, two bathrooms, AC (in both the bedroom and living room), comfy bed and all of the beach gear you'd need for a day out. I'd highly recommend this condo and location to anyone looking to experience the relaxing Hawaiian atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly and easy going! I'd also recommend checking out Huggo's/Huggo's on the Rocks (about a five-minute walk from the condo) and order garlic parmesan fries, they're life changing!

Roomier than I expected. Great location, quiet area and lots of privacy. Place is clean and has everything you need for linens, full kitchen and space to unpack. Would love to stay here again. We got a Jeep that was too tall to fit in the parking garage, but there was plenty of free parking right up the street!

We enjoyed our stay at Kona Pacific. The place worked great for our family of 4. We wanted a location where we could walk to town for dinner or to grab coffee in the morning and this was exactly what we needed. I used the washer and dryer everyday and it was so nice to have when you are packing light for Hawaii. The furniture on the patio could use an update and the air conditioners leaked onto the patio because the trays that collect the water overflowed. We were happy we had air conditioning though it was a trade off.
