Go to sleep each evening to the sounds of ocean waves and rustling palms at this well-appointed condo on the shores of Kailua-Kona. This second-floor retreat is a place to swim in two on-site pools and marvel at the nightly sunsets from your lanai overlooking the ocean.
This condo is part of an oceanfront property on Ali'i Drive, with grounds that include two outdoor pools (one on the oceanfront), a pavilion and terrace with gas grills, and a sandy sitting area up above the rocky shore. It's a wonderful, convenient location two miles south of Kona town, with Honl's Beach (one mile), Magic Sands Beach Park (two miles), and downtown's excellent restaurants and shops all close by.
This particular condo faces the garden courtyard, with a view that includes the pavilion, the pools, and - of course - the sparkling Pacific Ocean. After a day spent snorkeling and sunbathing, come home to read, work on a crossword puzzle, or sit down for an alfresco meal on the breezy lanai.
The interior is bright, comfortable, and decorated with cheerful accents inspired by the sea. As you come inside, you'll be greeted by a cool blast of central air conditioning, an open kitchen with every essential, and a living room with a cable TV and DVD player. Additional features include a second TV in the bedroom, complimentary WiFi, and a private washer/dryer for your swimsuits and beach towels.

The garden pool will begin renovations on Monday, February 3, 2025, with an expected closure of up to 6 weeks, barring any delays. Updates on the reopening will be provided.

If you’re booking this condo, it’s for the view from the lanai (balcony). Being so close to the ocean meant we could hear and see the waves while enjoying our morning coffee — truly a highlight. The pool and lounge chairs right by the water were also fantastic. The shower was good and we never had an issue with temperature or water pressure. The beach chairs and umbrella were a nice bonus, too.
On the downside, the air conditioning never cooled the space below 73°F, which made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. The kitchen was equipped with basic tools, but you’ll want to bring your own seasonings and oils. It worked fine for simple meals, though using the oven heated up the entire condo so much that we ended up turning it off halfway through cooking and have a cold meal instead.
The mattress was quite firm and didn’t stay in place well; if you sit on the edge, the whole thing tends to tip up. The couch in the living room was also on the small side for two people — fine for short sits, but not the best for relaxing on a rainy day.
Lastly, I received several texts warning about bugs, which made me uneasy about the possibility of cockroaches and other pests in the unit. It definitely took us out of vacation mode.
Overall, for the price we expected some less than ideal conditions. If you book this spot, come for the view and the soothing ocean atmosphere, but be prepared for a few inconveniences along the way.

Great view, quiet, good king bed, pleasant decor. Great grounds well kept. Sunset conch blow tradition a real treat at sunset. One BBQ great others need burners replaced.Thermostat would not hold temperature setting. Had to constantly reset it. No thermostat instructions included in rental manual it is not intuative to set? Had to scour internet to try and set it with marginal success. No kitchen basics like seasonings, condiments, sugar, oil and etc. Ocean wave crashing noise may affect some. Several steps to climb or descend (even from elevator) to get to this 2nd story unit. Parking is tight inside security gate. You can park outside of it but residents recommend do not leave valuables in car outside security gate. Clothes dryer beeps and stops constantly telling us to clean lint trap. Had to baby it to get clothes dry. We believe exhaust ducting needs to be cleaned out. We could not access it to fix it for ourselves and future renters.

Very clean! The coffee in the mornings was really nice before heading out to start the day. Loved swimming in the salt water pool while hearing the waves crash.

A great place for couples with plenty of creature comforts. The in-unit washer/dryer was a huge benefit for us, as we we arrived here nine days into a two-week trip. The complex's amenities--particularly the salt water pool--helped us unwind after long days of exploring the Big Island. Great views of the ocean and sunset from the balcony as well. And a shout out to the thoughtful and charming decor, which was definitely a cut above your typical vacation rental.

Check in was easy and we really appreciated the ability to set our own door code. It made us feel more secure and gave us a code that was easy to remember.
The unit was clean and perfectly positioned - close to the stairs and also close to the ocean. The communal grills are easy to use. Bonus: The residents of this condo complex gather nightly at the ocean to watch the sunset while three residents blow a conch shell. It’s a lovely ritual that we enjoyed every single night.
The provided beach chairs and umbrella were great and the ice chest was an unexpected bonus that we used every single day. The gift basket of local coffee, chips, candy, and water was thoughtful and appreciated.
The binder gave us all the information we needed for the week. The washer and dryer meant we went home with clean clothes instead of a bunch of dirty laundry. We will definitely stay here again.

It was a beautiful property with an amazing view of the nightly sunsets. The first night we arrived, there was blood on the sheets. We were not able to sleep for many hours as the direction we got was to wash the sheets. After washing, most did come off but there was still some on the sheets. Unfortunately, they did not have an extra pair of sheets in the condo.

The property is only minutes from all the amenities and most importantly, is located right on the ocean which you can also enjoy from the balcony or while you’re in the salt water pool located right at the oceans edge. The property is peaceful and quiet at night and the other residents are very warm and friendly. There are 2 improvements that could easily be made - the door numbers are located at the top of the door and are difficult to see through the screen doors - and impossible to see at night if you arrive late like I did. There are number located on the wall opposite to the doors on the half-wall but this is counter intuitive and is missed. So this makes it difficult to find your room upon arrival. It would be ideal to have the name of the building or address conveniently located at the front gate so you know when you’re in the right location. My Uber driver wasn’t even sure if he was dropping me off at rhe correct address. It’s also helpful if I could have been emailed a map of the condo complex or if there would be available upon entering the complex so I would know what stairs to take and where to go to find my condo. When it’s dark, no one is around and you’ve been travelling for 14 hours - these little things help a lot.

I liked that this condo was off the beaten path had a couple of pools and friendly tenants. We loved having coffee in the morning and dinner in the evening on the lanai. Perfect place to stay.
