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.

Overall it was a great accomodation with a fabulous view of the ocean however noisy at times due to the location .A second set of keys would have been helpful for our visiting guests and ourselves.

Beautiful home. Yes you feel like you’re living in paradise. The sunsets on the lanai are breathtaking every night. This condo is completely stocked with everything from kitchen to beach gear. I have stayed here twice and would go back 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)

Good location for all activities.Amenities in the condo were pretty good, except for the tiny bugs in the kitchen.Well stocked kitchen, however, a new coffee pot is in order.Bed was Wonderful! Very Comfortable!Having two bathrooms was a plus!We had difficulty with key lockbox access.Instructions for finding parking space were vague.Overall, a good housing choice.

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

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.

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.

![Kona Alii Penthouse 710]()
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 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.
February 2025
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!!
