We had a fabulous stay in the Kona Alii condominium in May 2025. The condo is right in the heart of Kona, close to wonderful shops and restaurants. The veranda has an amazing view of the ocean - just across the street! The condo itself is very roomy, clean, and beautifully decorated, with wonderful amenities (the use of beach towels, beach chairs, etc.) We would love to return someday!

Comfortable condo. Met all our needs. Nice view. Very nicely appointed. I loved the turtle mosaic shower floor! We pretty much only slept there as our base as we traveled around the island sight seeing. The volcano erupting was a highlight!

The views are outstanding and the room was very nice. We did have issues with the ceiling fans not working properly so we had to request floor fans and eventually oscillating fans for the bedroom. Communication was all over the place with different hosts, make sure you ask who you're speaking with.

My sisters and I spent 16 fabulous days at Ron & Pam’s condo. I have stayed at many rental locations, by far this was the best stocked, usage of space and location. The bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. You wanted for nothing in this condo!!! As they say, location, location, location. We decided we would be returning before our trip was half over.

The location of this condo cannot be beat. all the best restuarants and bars are just a few steps away. However, we could not get into the room until 4:25 due to late cleaning. Additionally, we were very disappointed to find out the condo did not have air-conditioning as it had listed in the ad. The owner then told us that the small box in the bedroom would blow cool air once we filled it with chilled water. However that did not work as it was missing the outlet plug adaptor. I tired several of my own and that did not work.

The Kona Ali'i is the best location in Kailu-Kona. It's an easy walk to anywhere the village and the view from this ocean front unit are amazing and always changing.

Great location. Loved hearing the waves and people watching. Friendly feeling as guests extras were left including sunscreen, spices in kitchen and plenty of dish and laundry soap. There was hardly any toilet paper which must have been an oversight. We were there 15 days. Bed needs replacing. Overall, I loved staying here for the location and free parking which is a huge ripoff in town these days. I recommend.

Stayed here for a week. Great central location. Has parking, which is very convenient when staying in Town. And saves you 35.00-50.00 a day if you stay at hotel.Fully equipped. Like having your own apartment to vacation in.

We have stayed in this unit a number of times over the years. And yes as you can see from the pictures it’s a little dated and could benefit from some updating, but the location is/was great for us. Noticeable this visit was the increased road noise from past visits, mainly from locals with loud vehicles, from both exhaust and extremely loud music. We travel with a sound machine so not a huge issue at night.Jonus the property manager is excellent and very friendly and responsive.Overall we would recommend this unit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kona Alii condo. While there is never a perfect place, the Kona Alii had all the things that made it a great stay. The condo was nicely decorated and comes with covered parking. The location provided a beautiful view of the ocean with gorgeous sunsets and moonsets. It is located in the heart of Kailua-Kona and allows you to enjoy the local restaurants and shopping without having to drive. Snorkeling and beaches are a short drive away. The only two downsides were loud music from passing vehicles and other miscellaneous noise makers on the main road as well as the condo does get a little warm on hot days. I run hot body temperature, and my wife does not so the temperatures were just fine for her and the numerous fans they provided helped me out a lot. Not much you can do about the noise, and we couldn’t hear the noise unless we were in the sitting room. These two things were easily made up for by the other benefits of the condo. We would definitely stay there again if it is available the next time I visit the Big Island.

This property had everything we needed! Location was amazing in the heart of Kona. Close to all the shops and restaurants. The condo had a comfortable bed, the kitchen had everything we needed and it was great to have chairs, and boogie boards to use on the beach! We loved sitting on the baloney each day with our coffee and wine overlooking the pool and you could even see the ocean! It was quiet at night and even without air conditioning you could keep cool with all the ceiling fans. Melissa had a binder made up with so many tips for sight seeing and restaurant suggestions that we found very helpful. When we walked in we were greeted by Hawaiian flowers in every room, a nice touch! We loved our first visit to the Big Island and would definitely recommend this property.

This was our second stay at this condo. It's just great all the way around. Sunsets from the lanai, good ocean view from both downstairs and upstairs lanai/deck. Owners very responsive to questions/issues. New very comfortable sofa set since last spring. Plenty of space and well appointed. It's our favorite condo in Kona.

Good property!Ocean and sunset views are incredible. Only real negatives we would say are that occasionally the overhead views are obstructed by the overhead street wires/cables and the traffic noise on Alii drive. Otherwise a wonderful stay

We really enjoyed this property. It’s very convenient to all the action on Alii Drive, but also very quiet at night. We loved the lanai, the bed was comfortable & we just truly loved the space!

We stayed 3 nights, weather was great, had coffee on our lanai every morning and went out to eat only once. We cooked in our kitchen all other times. Getting in, parking and getting out was a breeze. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

My husband and I stayed a week in this beautiful apartment. The apartment is clean, well provisioned, and just as nice as it looks in the listing. The location is fabulous- on the waterfront, right in he midst of restaurants, cafes, shops, etc. Parking was easy- you have an assigned parking space. The only slight negative is that it gets a little noisy at night.

This was our first experience staying in a VRBO. We were pleasantly impressed with the penthouse and all the amenities!! The place was immaculate, beds comfy, great location for restaurants!! We found it great to be able to do a little laundry! Having our designated parking spot was a huge plus! Mary the owner of this property was very friendly, and accommodating! We highly recommend this property and we would definitely stay here again!!

All shredded, extremely dangerous. When I contacted them they said thanks, a new one is on order.made no attempt to come up and remove so we wouldn’t potentially Fall.Kitchen faucet very hard to maneuver.
March 2025
The condo was as described and very clean. Great location just steps away from anything you'd want to do in Kona. Great to have in-unit laundry.Only downside is that since it isn't air conditioned, you'll likely want the place opened up all night. The great location means foot and car traffic right outside, so was woken up a few times throughout the night. Not a big enough problem that I wouldn't recommend it, but if you're a very light sleeper, it's something to be aware of.

Built in the early 70’s, the complex has an older feel to it. That being said, it is well maintained and clean. Advantage of location is that everything is walkable. Disadvantage is that there are bars nearby which can stay loud until closing time. Front and back lanais both have ocean views(partial)

Fantastic condo! Right in the heart of Kona . Walking distance to pretty much everything. I loved being able to hear the ocean right from the condo. Onsite free parking. Very nice and secure complex. Owners were awesome and respond very quickly to any questions. Kitchen was well equipped. Washer and dryer located right in unit. Really enjoyed our stay!

Location in downtown Kona is a choice! Great restaurants and farmers market steps awayWell stocked kitchenware, towels, beach chairs though I think that equipment variesDated but in good repair (sliding doors are sticky but ALL beachfront properties only have smooth doors for the first 6 hours they are installedThe choice location is also its downfall— it’s not quiet, so if you aren’t into hearing town noises, trucks, kids playing soccer next door, it might not be ideal.Didn’t bother me one bit, we had a fabulous time.No a/c but fans work well and nice breeze on lanai (I never use a/c anyway but thought it might be useful info)Communication with managers was smoothEverything went smoothly
