Perfect location close to town. We didn't mind the traffic noise. The host had everything we needed to enjoy the, beach; towels, chairs, umbrella.

The place was beautiful and clean with a gorgeous view. My only complaint is that it was advertised as having air conditioning, and when we got there, it turns out the air conditioning was broken. It should be fixed in the next week or so, so that shouldn’t be a problem for future guests. It just was pretty hot for us, unfortunately. Otherwise, everything else was lovely.

We had a wonderful vacation in Hawaii and the condo was perfect! The location is ideal! Just a 5 minute walk to farmer’s market, restaurants, shopping, beaches and more. Communication was clear with regular updates leading up to and throughout the stay! Kitchen was well equipped and bbq area was great! Very clean! Kids loved the loft! We hope to be back soon!

Super convenient location. The unit was clean and perfect for our trip. While there was no AC there is enough of a breeze to keep things cool and comfortable.

Beautiful property in a great location. My fault that I assumed it would have air conditioning. It does not. Most nights it was comfortable enough to sleep.

This suite on Ali'i Drive is comfortable, and has a great view of the bay as well as the best seats in town for the 4th of July parade and fireworks. Traffic noise is pretty much non-stop during the day and into the evening, so if you have trouble sleeping better bring earplugs and use the portable fans that are provided to drown out noise. The place was fairly clean, but some of the bed sheets and pillow cases appeared to be stained and should probably be replaced. The building maintains high standards for security, but it comes at a cost: only one set of keys were provided for our party of five and that caused some major inconvenience on several occasions. Contacting the management company after hours was challenging too, but they responded fairly quickly to our emails and texts after a water sensor alarm was somehow triggered in the laundry area. Overall it was a pleasant place to stay but it works best for one or two people, unless they start giving out more keys.

Loved my stay here. Could easily see myself coming back again. If I had to point out anything negative, there are just a handful of complaints that are worth mention. The bedroom toilet was not cleaned properly upon arrival (was urine on top of seat). A/C would have been a nice option a couple of nights that were a little warm but not a deal breaker. One night when I went to bed there was a very large cockroach on the top of headboard. And last, I'm shocked the clothes dryer cannot be vented outdoors. It just added to the heat inside the property when already warm. There was no exhaust screen on the vent either which is why there was quite a bit of lint in the closet. I want to emphasize that my review is in effort to help you improve which is what I assumed was your hope to get from the requested review. I really did enjoy my stay!

Stayed with a family of 5 and really liked our stay. Communication was great, clean room, nice pool, location was in the middle of our activities, supplies like umbrellas and towels provided, felt safe. The only drawback was there was only a tiny AC. But after we decided to leave the windows open and patio sliding door open, the breeze went through and it felt ok. The windows have these very large blinds and you can't see in even when open, so it felt safe

We walked in and WOW!!! What a beautiful place, and the bed was so comfortable. The kitchen was the perfect size also and it had everything we needed. We had a view of the swimming pool so we sat out on the lanai and enjoyed our coffee. Some suggestions I would like to make, the locked boxes upon check in should be arranged in numerical order and better marked, it was a little cumbersome searching for our room number. Next I would make brighter signage with the step downs going to the parking lot, it’s quite a step down .

Brought the whole family, my wife and three of our boys aged 22,19 and 17. We had plenty of room and property was as advertised and delivered more.It was well appointed and all beds were comfortable and in top shape, we were all comfortable, even though it was only a one bedroom. The spacious living area and wonderful balcony facing the ocean was just perfect.Location was just perfect. Amazing and top rated restaurants were all wishing 5-10 minute walks, a dedicated parking space alleviated any parking issues within the downtown area.We can’t recommend this property enough. It was a definite home away from home. We’ll be looking to book again when we come back to Kailua Kona.

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.

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

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.
