If you want a condo that's close to everything this is the one. Ocean, farmers market & restaurants are within several blocks. Property manager was super with any questions.

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

I had a little trouble finding the key to access the unit and the area can be noisy at times, but I enjoyed the unit, amenities, and surrounding area. It’s a nice spot, and I’d definitely stay here again.

A beautiful property, large, and a great view of the ocean.If anything, the traffic and noise from the street below, sometimes it became offensive.

We stayed for four days, and it was a wonderful experience. The building and equipment weren’t new, but everything was clean, calm, and convenient. Best of all, we could access everything on foot. I’d love to stay here again next time.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a beautiful unit. Generously stocked with supplies and furniture was lovely. The dishes were plentiful and cooking pots etc. numerous. I saw no bugs. The unit was very clean. Only comment was only one set of keys. I hope another set is made. Thank you for the place while in Kona. 🙏🏾

The location is great, right in downtown Kona with easy access to everything. The included parking off the back of the building was covered and easy to access. The condo was clean and well stocked. We loved being on the lanai and hearing the ocean all night.

Perfect location halfway between Royal Kona and Kailua Pier. Only thing marring the view is power lines stretched across in front of the bay. Otherwise it was great watching whales, dolphins, swimmers, kayakers, and cruise ships all right in front of the condo. There is traffic noise to contend with as some drivers cruise by with music cranked up. Lots of restaurants nearby and pretty much everything we needed was within walking distance.The condo itself was nice and comfortable. The chairs on the lanai were recliners so that made it very relaxing to watch the goings on out on the water.The property manager was very responsive. Answered questions timely and took care of a minor repair problem very promptly. All in all and very nice stay.

Don't hesitate to book this condo. Here are some highlights: -- Location -- walking distance to many restaurants, very convenient and short distance to grocery stores (KTA, Safeway, Wal-Mart). Easy access to main roads for exploring.-- Fully Stocked Condo -- has everything you can possibly need -- plenty of kitchen tools/equipment, beach toys, small cooler, lots of stuff we didn't even use!--- Beautiful views -- spent a lot of time on the lanai on the main floor -- morning coffee, dinners, evenings, etc. ---- Communications were outstanding -- great directions for getting to the condo, accessing the keys, etc. Easy checkout instructions. Great all around. -- Comfortable -- beds were comfy, showers had plenty of water pressure and plentiful hot water, neighbors were quiet. There is noise from outside the condo, but it quiets down in the evening. Nice to fall asleep to the sound of the surf. 3 separate A/C units and lots of fans. If we go back to Kona, we will book this unit again.

The view and location simply cannot be beat! I had every meal out on the lanai, watched every sunset, and loved hearing the ocean crash on the rocks. The people-watching was also first rate as it's on the main Village of Kailua drag with lots of restaurants and shops.Having a designated parking space in the parking structure was incredibly helpful. I greatly appreciated the security features in terms of needing a key to even get to the elevator. I felt safe.The only ding I would have would be the fact that it seemed pretty run down and perhaps not the cleanest of places. However, the kitchen appliances were all new, the ceiling fans worked well and were clean, and the living room was also clean and modern. All in all, it was a great vacation location and if I can, I will definitely be returning.

This condo was exactly as shown in the pictures! It had everything we needed for a great stay in Kailua Kona. We loved being able to walk to so many restaurants and shops. Having parking included was awesome as well, since we had a rental car for exploring the island. Best part was having coffee on the lanai every morning and watching the cruise ships come in.

The condo is showing it's age, but is clean and comfortable. Much larger than it appeared in the pictures. The lanai looks down on the beach and is great to watch the sunsets from. The patio doors were difficult to open.The kitchen had everything we needed, but we didn't prepare any meals while there. Even though it didn't have air conditioning, the fans provided kept it cool. If you require a dark room to sleep in, you may find it challenging as exterior lights that are on all night shine in through the beroom window even though there is a shade on window.The location is great. There are lots of restaurants and shops that are in easy walking distance. If you are renting a car, it is close and easy to get on the highway that runs N/S.

The condo was nice but being on Ali was noisy. It was nice being in town especially since you now have to pay for parking.

The location is excellent and we had stayed in the building before. It was clean and it was nice to have air conditioning. Also nice to have a second bathroon. Washer/dryer worked well and the stove is brand new. We didn't use the dishwasher or the large TV. Internet was good. It seems like the pictures on VRBO were taken quite a while ago. The unit is a little tired looking and could use a little paint and some small repairs. There was only one wine glass in the unit and no kettle or teapot. We used a saucepan for hot water. Pods for the dishwasher and some for the washing machine were a nice touch.

Mr Tom Greeted us and was very helpful with the check in process. The condo was very well stocked with any thing we needed. The location was amazing all the restaurant and stores within walking distance and the view was amazing. First time I rented a condoAnd it was exactly as advertised.

This is easily the best place we’ve ever stayed in Kona(our 7th trip). The location is dead center in Kailua-Kona and easy walking distance to loads of restaurants and activities. The condo itself has so many excellent qualities. Private covered parking(Jeep was always cool when we got to it). Condo is totally updated with nice furniture and lighting. 2 showers in the 3 bathrooms is great. Everyone can get ready at the same time. Full fully stocked kitchen is nice. The AC splits (something we’ve never used) kept the unit appropriately cooled. New washer dryer made it easier to pack less for a long trip. 2 outside patios, both with a side view of the ocean were nicely furnished. Property manager was super responsive when we had questions. This is seriously a 11 out of 10 stay. We’ve already booked next year! Mahalo!!

Our second time staying in this condo. The location is very good. We need accessible space and venues and found many nearby. Shopping and dining along Ali’i Drive is a real treat

Good location. The unit needs a few safety measures. Security bars in the showers. A wand shower instead of fixed. Plus if renting to a wheelchair user do not have high chairs on the balcony. I missed being able to sit out in the sun.

Awesome view and great location to restaurant and shops. Never got tired of hearing the waves reach shore. First thought the afternoon sun would make the condo uncomfortable for sleeping but cooled off nicely after sunset making sleeping very comfortable. The hosts were very responsive to our questions. You do have to be patient for the shower to get hot.

Good place for a few people. Covered parking is nice. It doesn't have an oven which surprised us (although the listing never says it does). We would stay there again.

This residence was directly across from the street from the waterfront with views with great sunsets, dolphins and fish jumping and lots of activity. It was nice to sit out on the lanai for morning coffee or winding down in the evening with the breaking surf and views. Very close to many restaurants and shopping. In apartment stacked washer dryer and Air conditioning was something very appreciated! They had all the appliances and most items needed for tourist outings. It was an incredible stay. We will look for this place again for future trips!!!

Stayed 6 weeks. The condo was very nice and located in a great area. Lots to do! But the most amazing thing was the view! The lanai is about 100 feet from the ocean. You see the most amazing sunsets!

Trip to escape winter weather and that goal was definitely achieved. Temperature was ideal along with breeze from the ocean. Enjoyed constant sound of the ocean waves coming in. A little noisy at night off and on with cars speeding down street in front of condo along with their loud music. Fortunately, this was not constant. Condo had everything we needed to head to the beach. Felt very safe here.

The location of this unit on the 5 th floor right across the street from the ocean is excellent. The balcony is great where you can sit and listen to the waves crash on the rocks. The unit itself is dated. The wooden balcony chair arms kept falling off. The end of the couch had a big tear in the be material.. Aside from that, I would stay there again for the location and balcony alone.

We really enjoyed our stay at Kona Alii condo. Every morning we watched the waves crash on the shore while enjoying a cup of coffee. The location was an easy distance to many wonderful restaurants and shops. We were also close to the Kailua Bay Pier, where we watched a pod of spinner dolphins swimming amongst the distance swimmers, and were able to pick up a sunset boat tour. Look forward to returning!

This is our second time visiting the Big Island. We stayed further outside of the main part of Kailua Kona last time but this property was in the heart of everything you need. We were able to walk to meals, outings and to explore. The only time we left was to explore other beaches and excursions. The view is amazing, beds were comfortable (even the pull out couch which was a concern for our 3rd guest). We will be back again.

The apartment is pretty much exactly as described. Would be hard to find a better location - walking distance to everywhere and the view is amazing. Everything functions OK, might be an idea to count and update the tableware, e.g. I could only find 1 wine glass. Also good to know that there are 'water alarms' on the floor in each bathroom. This is great in preventing accidents... but we had no idea what caused an alarm to go off when my son was showering and some water sprayed on the floor. Found a building manager and all it took was to find the small white box (alarm) and dry it. Pls note that it takes forever to get warm water. Don't be discouraged, it will come and the water pressure is good.
