This condo is within walking distance of many restaurants and tourist spots. I never did see the pool and there was no info in the condo to tell you how to use the pool. So, you have to really look for it. I did want to use the pool, so I was sad about that.

After traveling 13 hours, we were all tired and ready to get in the house. It took us 40 minutes to get in due to the code that was given to us didn’t work. After texting back and forth, they finally gave us an actual key to use to enter the house. The first floor AC & shower did not work while we were there. However, the location was great. You can walk to stores and restaurants and it is very close to KOA airport.

Great location in Kona town. You can walk to everything and avoid all the new parking fees. The condo is beautifully decorated and the beds are extremely comfortable. Kitchen is well supplied and a beautiful ocean view from the lanai. It was great!

Our stay was simply amazing. The location of this condo is perfect! Steps away from the local small downtown village and beach. Our kids loved that we all had our own space and they could walk to hang out and shop so close to town! As soon as you arrive, the home is decored to make you literally feel like your instantly in Hawaii. Super cozy and modern pops + ammenities, fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms. In unit washer and dryer definitely came in handy. The home had a beautiful view of both mountains and ocean. The top floor is always the best! Cleanliness and space was perfect! Very well kept unit. We definitely recommend this condo if you want to be able to get around town on foot instantly. Private and spacious too!

I loved the location. It was 2-3 blocks from the main boardwalk shops, ocean, flea market and eateries. The condo was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The air conditioning and kitchen were great to have when coming in from the usually humid and hot climate.

Overall, the rental was very good. Inside the unit was very modern and very clean. Plenty of nice towels for bathing as well as beach towels and anything else you need. They left toiletries and a gift basket, which was a nice touch. Kitchen was pretty well equipped, we didn’t cook much, but when we did, there was everything we needed. The main issue was check-in. The information from Vacasa was completely inaccurate. They didn’t tell us where to park or how to walk around the building to find the unit. The information they gave us to access. The unit was completely incorrect. It was almost like they sent us the information for a completely different unit. we had to call and then they provided a solution over the phone. But my son and I were dripping sweat trying to figure it out. Climbing up and down three stories with a suitcase wasn’t great but we managed. Overall, it was a nice apartment and we would definitely definitely stay there again.

Really liked the property and area. Easy access to downtown. Only thing I would like to see is that total cost, that is VRBO charge and cleaning and taxes all be included in total price. Don't t like surprises of this and that added later after I've committed to a property. Mahalo H&M

Our family (three adults and one child) loved this rental. It was fully stocked, including beach equipment. The decor was charming and the beds were very comfortable. The AC is a big perk on the island, as many properties do not have it. The lanai was the perfect place for a sunset dinner looking at the ocean. Our son loved the pool and hot tub! Good location in the middle of Kona, near some tasty restaurants. Would highly recommend

We loved the ease of being able to walk to town within a few minutes, the place could use a bit of upgrades but all and all it was comfortable and well stocked.

Nicely decorated 2 bedroom condo within walking distance to restaurants and shopping in Kona. A must if you're looking to relax and enjoy the area...

Property was clean and spacious.

The condo is spotless, quiet, and comfortable, and our stay was great. The listing doesn't tell you where the parking spot is though, and it took a call and a few texts to find out (#56, FYI). The parking spot is suitable for a regular-sized vehicle - if your car rental agency sticks you with a large vehicle, be prepared to get creative. Also, I'd recommend that the kitchen knives be sharpened, and some pantry basics be provided - salt & pepper, olive oil. But these are all small things. We'd stay here again - the location is great, the unit was perfectly sized and furnished, and again - spotless.

The condo was a wonderful home base for a month. We walked to the beach, shops, and restaurants every day. Our infant granddaughter enjoyed her first swim in the Pacific Ocean. The unit is quiet, clean, roomy, and cool. It was our 7th Kona visit and best lodging. We would buy it if it was for sale.

I came to race in the Ironman World Championship and stayed here with my wife and my coach. The place was clean and more spacious and cool than it appears in the photos. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds were comfy and the washer and dryer came in handy. The location was perfect.

The location of A Little Aloha was perfect, walking distance to everything. Competed in The Queen Liliuokalani outrigger canoe race and was able to walk to race site.

Great location, close to beach, shopping and restaurants in the heart of Kona. Great for families, very clean and well maintained, would definitely stay here again.

Good location in walking distance to the main drag by the water. Interior was nice. Place runs pretty hot despite AC. Its in an ok apartment complex, but overall enjoyable stay

The condo was clean, but there's a certain amount of wear and tear that cleanliness can't deal with - for example, the area rug in the living room has some small but permanent stains. The cookware was cheap but very clean and new. The beds were comfortable, and the showers were good. We appreciated both the air conditioning and the many fans. The lanai was minimal, with no way to stretch out on it. The view was peek-a-boo, but nice to have something. No problems with noise.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was clean, and well equipped. Best of all, it was within a very short walking distance to Kona shopping district. Vary nice.

The place was clean and was in a great location, close to lots of restaurants and stores. There are a few items that need repair or replacement. The upstairs shower handle is loose and needs to be fixed, the pillows were flat and uncomfortable and the dishwasher didn't clean well. Also, there was only one frying pan. Overall this was a decent place to stay.

The condo was good for us as it was clean, well located, well supplied, and had a nice balcony with peek-a-boo views of the ocean. It was an easy walk to Ali'i Dr. with restaurants, shops, and beaches. The traffic noise was sometimes loud. We didn't use the pool and grill area as its location was not convenient. We recommend this condo.
