The most amazing lanai you will ever have! What a view!!! We enjoyed our stay at this home. The kitchen was well stocked. Living room was comfortable. Unfortunately there is a smell similar to cat urine that was horrible upon check in. It did get better after the AC was turned on and unit cooled down for a couple of days. Parking spot is VERY tight so consider that when renting a vehicle. Condo area is super quiet and we only saw 1 other couple use the pool one time during our entire visit. Pool is small, but great. Don't bother making dinner reservations because you will want to spend all your sunsets on this lanai! This is a great condo to spend your vacation in.

It was a great stay--Hawaii never disappoints. It is a big island, so a lot of driving. The lanai was 10/10 at our rental.

Would definitely stay again. Great view and everything we needed and some things we didn’t even know we needed were a big plus. Clean and spacious and very well taken care of.

This unit in the Kona Nalu complex is a very comfortable, well-appointed condo that makes an excellent base for a vacation on the Big Island. The furnishings are very good, beds are great, bathrooms on point, and the kitchen is well stocked for dining in. Updated Samsung televisions have the ability to broadcast all your favorite streaming services after the sun goes down. Until then, you'll be spending a lot of time on the lanai, as the ocean views and daily sunsets are the star of this condo and location. You'll find that you manage your day to be "home" by 6:00PM to watch the sun drop. And if you didn't get food for dinner, be sure to check out the taco truck on the church property just to the south -- great food, short walk.Others have mentioned the tight assigned parking spot, but it's manageable -- just go slow. And the shared grill on the site is charcoal, not propane. Factor that into your plans if you intend to grill at the condo.

The condo is as advertised and my family was very pleased with our stay. Right on the ocean with beautiful views and a wonderful lanai to enjoy them. Everything we needed for our 2 week stay was provided, including spices, condiments, a wide variety of plates, silverware, serving utensils, etc. That being said, more paper products would have been appreciated, although it's understood those provided were to get you started. Regarding parking, be advised the spots are not generous so take that into consideration when renting a vehicle. We rented a full size SUV - good thing my daughter has parking skills! Overall a very pleasant relaxing stay in this wonderful condo close to downtown but away from most of the traffic and noise.

We walked in and the first thing you see is the ocean. The Lanai is beautifully and comfortably appointed. The kitchen is expansive and very well equipped. The living room has a very comfy couch and recliner. The beds are very comfortable and the whole unit is very beautifully furnished. I want to stay at the rental again in the future.

We spent a week in the condo and enjoyed it very much. Everything worked well. The only minor issue was that the unit was under stocked with paper goods and we needed to resupply.

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the absolutely delightful stay my family recently enjoyed at your exquisite establishment in Hawaii. Our experience was nothing short of exceptional, and I wanted to take a moment to share our gratitude. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality that set the tone for the entire trip. The check-in process was seamless. The accommodations were not only luxurious but also thoughtfully designed, providing both comfort and a true sense of Hawaiian charm and Holliday spirit. The breathtaking views from our apartment left us in awe every morning, and the amenities provided exceeded our expectations. Whether we were lounging by the pool, or strolling along the pristine beaches, every moment felt like a true escape. In summary, our time at Holualoa was nothing short of magical. We are immensely grateful for the exceptional service, beautiful surroundings, and the unforgettable memories created during our stay. Please extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in making our Hawaiian getaway truly wonderful. We look forward to the opportunity to return and create more cherished moments at your remarkable establishment.

We've stayed at many condos on Alli Drive and this is by far one of the best. Nice size, clean, well equipped, great lanai. Only thing I would suggest is investing in some new beach chairs.

This home was perfect for our week in Kona. It was central to all of the downtown shops and restaurants but far enough to not have too much traffic. Close to all of the beaches and farmers market. Waking up to the sounds of waves right next to you was something I'll truly miss. The kitchen was stocked with all of the tools you need to cook up a hearty breakfast or a nice dinner to have outside on the patio, watching the gorgeous sunset. Great water pressure in the showers and it never felt humid inside which, if you've travelled to enough tropical places, you'd know is an issue. Looking forward to staying here again next time we're on the Big Island.

Place was amazingly clean and had everything we needed. Beautiful breakfasts on the lanai with gorgeous views, dishwasher for all the dishes that are available for use, and a washer/dryer for your clothes. My family was very happy and we are hoping to stay again as soon as we can.

This condo is old and in an old building. The lanai is great and view is great. Very musty smell in the place. Almost like bad cat litter.. it did dissipate somewhat but was present during the 3 days we were there. The management company offered air purifiers but we only had a 3 day stay. For the money I would look elsewhere.

when we got there, we were amazed at the beautiful view and how large the unit was they had supplied everything that we needed and a little extra the management company was great. I had to call two times for something very small. his name was Paul and he was very accommodating. We will be there next year for 2 Weeks. Great Pl.

This condo is a little outside of Kona, yet convenient by car or bike. I love hearing the waves all night and the view in the morning with coffee. The only thing was the mattress in the master bedroom is very soft. Some people may like it. I hope to stay again.

We loved the oceanfront view. I’m pretty sure this unit has the best view in the complex! Beds were comfortable and the unit was clean. I appreciated having dressers for clothing and even a box for jewelry—the little touches that make a stay comfortable. There was also some beach gear and we definitely appreciated the soft-side cooler for snacks and drinks, If you’re a light sleeper you might want to download a sleep/white noise app. A few nights the surf was rather loud, but that same surf is glorious to watch when the sun hits just right-like an aquarium. We saw fish often and even a sea turtle relaxing. We cooked a lot and found the kitchen well stocked not only with cookware, utensils, appliances, and dish-ware, but also spices. Our stay was during Christmas, so we appreciated the holiday decor (and the ability to walk next door to a church for an outdoor candlelight service on Christmas Eve). We loved the location to Kailua town - an easy drive. Our stay included a snorkel tour (definitely recommend), a fun day trip to Hilo (waterfalls, bio nature reserve), Volcano National Park, beaches on Kohala coast. The condo unit and its management exceeded our expectations. This was our first trip to the Big Island and found this more fun and relaxing than Oahu, which feels congested compared to the Kona Coast.

We had the most amazing time here. The condo is exactly as pictured on the Vrbo site. Ocean 20 ft from the lanai. Sunsets and amazing ocean view for miles. The unit has absolutely everything you could ask for as far as kitchen items, towels and beach accessories. It was spotless clean and homey. We had the best vacation ever, whether we were out seeing the sites, shopping or just sitting on the lanai. We have a few other places to visit in our bucket list but will be back in this lanai again in a few years. Could not have imagined anything better.

This property is phenomenal. The location is wonderful, right on the water in a semi-private piece of beach. We loved watching the sunsets from the lanai every evening! The condo came equipped with absolutely everything anyone might need, from coolers, beach towels and other beach gear, to kitchen appliances, etc. We absolutely loved staying here and would recommend it to anyone visiting the Big Island!
