we were in Kona for 4 weeks for ironman, and this is a great location to stay. The accommodation was fantastic for a family of 3 or 4. Everything we needed was there and the local guide the owners had written up was a blessing when it come to visiting places. For anyone doing Ironman the location was perfect, directly inshore from the swim turn buoy, so early morning swims could start from the accom and finish at the pier if you only wanted to do a half swim. Having the ability to cook our own meals was a huge bonus. If I qualify again I will be contacting the owner to see if I can book again. First rate

We had a great stay at Janet’s place! Loved the lanai and hearing the ocean. It was clean, had comfortable beds, and great beach gear. We left the beautiful tatami doors to the front bedroom open for a more spacious living area. Beware the track for those doors on the floor! We both banged our feet into it and ended up laying some beach towels folded in half lengthwise over it so we would stop hurting ourselves. The pool was also fab and I swam there several times. Janet was extremely responsive and helpful. We used the info from her guest book every day! The location is great in that it’s only a 20 minute walk to downtown Kona, but you’re far enough out that there are alternate routes to avoid when the traffic into town gets backed up. Recommend!

So thankful that we were able to stay at this property. We are a family of four with two teenagers. Location was excellent and the condo was spacious. The view from the lanai was spectacular. The condo had everything we needed and more.

We loved our time at this condo and on the island. We loved sitting on the lanai watching the beautiful ocean!! The condo was great for our family! Perfect location. Short walk to a coffee/breakfast place and an easy walk or drive to a huge variety of restaurants and shops.

The condo itself is exactly as described. You are right on the water, going to bed with the ocean waves. The best part about this booking was Janet, the property owner. She was unbelievably accommodating, responsive, and reliable. I am so grateful to Janet for being a wonderful VRBO host, making this family trip a success. I hope you can make wonderful memories here as well!

We enjoyed our stay and the soothing sights and sounds of the ocean from our Lanai. The place was well maintained and supplies were abundant.

Choose the property based on location, price and accommodations we needed. Decor is a bit dated but amenities are everything promised. Cleanliness not up to par - fans and 2nd bedroom was not up to expectations. Had a great week.

We love the location of this property. It is on the ocean and close to everything! There was little or no trades blowing during our stay and without A/C it made it very uncomfortable until early morning. The beach things were very handy once we found them, they were in the 2nd bedroom closet and since we didnt use the room but to store our suit cases...... emailed the property manager and they filled us in right away. We had a great vacation and found out that we REALLY like KONA!!

The property is exactly as described. It had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We had a great stay. The host thought about everything that a vacationer might need including a box of band-aids.
Thank you Janet.

Subject was a beautifully maintained apartment with incredible views of the sunset and the ocean. The property is well located, within a short driving distance to area attractions. The kitchen is well stocked, which came equipped with everything we needed. My fiance and I really enjoyed staying here. Would definitely stay here again.

The owner was absolutely wonderful in Communicating about this property, especially before getting in and while we were there. It was a perfect place for my daughter and me as we each had our own bedroom and bathroom.
I think because the place is a little older, it has some issues with cleanliness: a fan filled with dust, dirt on the floor beneath the windows, etc... not deal breakers.
I didn’t even think to look for a place that was air conditioned because it was already cold in California. With the overhead fan going and one or two stationary fans next to me, I was ok for sleeping. The other bedroom got hot the minute the sun rose, so my daughter was never able to sleep past 8 am. These aren’t deal breakers, but contributed to a B rating instead of an A. I’d rent it again though!

This is a perfect location for enjoying KONA while staying away from the touristy area hustle. The flat was clean, well appointed, no bugs and a terrific view. We actually saw dolphins jumping out of the water from the patio.
When we were actually at the condo, we spent our wakeing hours entirely on the large patio and didn’t use the living room or TV once. There’s no AC, and it was pretty warm for November (80’s), but we were mostly comfortable with the many fans provided. We never used the south facing 2nd bedroom, but it seemed pretty warm so we kept that door closed.
The flat had snorkeling gear, binoculars and beach chairs that we put to good use.
The assigned parking spot is directly at the base of stairs to the flat. The location is a 5min drive to the KONA touristy area or a $7 Uber ride if you plan to drink as we did. As with most places in Hawaii, the entire complex is non-smoking.
We had a satisfying experience here.

Our stay at the Ali'i Villas was so nice-perfect location for watching the Ironman Triathlon. Janet was so helpful and patient with me, especially when I misplaced the information on entering the condo on our first night (I work her up at 2:00 AM mainland time...!) - she could not have been nicer. The place itself is comfortable and well-equipped, the lanai is wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing your condo with Karen and me.

This property is exactly as described. The view is beautiful and the sound of the waves very relaxing. It was well supplied. We were able to cook a number of nice meals there. It is reasonable distance from town and beaches. Janet was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.

We had a very comfortable stay and found your condo clean, well equipped and well maintained. There were a couple of nights that it was too warm but the fans helped. We loved viewing the fireworks over Kona from the lanai. The swimming pool and library are well cared for and a pleasant spot to relax. We recommend your condo!

The place was great and had everything we needed for our week vacation on the Island. The best part was the view from the deck. While actually at the condo and not sleeping, we were found mostly on the deck enjoying the great view and the sounds of waves crashing. I would definitely choose to stay here again.

Very clean and comfortable 2 bedroom unit with good exposure. Nicely appointed and well stocked. Janet was quick to reply to all our questions. We enjoyed the BBQ, cooler, beach chairs and binoculars. We spotted dolphins off the balcony every day. The view was nice but I'm not sure where the profile picture was taken from. We discovered a car washing station on site which was perfect to rinse off our diving gear. Parking right at the door was appreciated as was the non-smoking policy. I would happily stay here again.
