Overall this was a nice place to stay in Kona. Conveniently located to lots of shops and restaurants and also centrally located for checking out things to the North and South of Kona. The only disadvantage of the location is a lot of noise from the main road in front. The unit is spacious and technically has three beds if you want to spread out. My only other mild complaint was the lack of a few basic household items like paper towels and laundry detergent (detergent wouldn’t have been an issue except we were asked to start laundry before checking out).

Wonderful property, clean, organized, well equipped with everything needed for a short or long stay. The beach gear was great to have, I know it’s possible to rent snorkeling gear and chairs, but having it available in the room was fabulous, especially the coolers. The humidity was a lot for someone who comes from a state with very low humidity so the A/C in the rental was a blessing.
Sitting on the balcony, watching the waves while I drank my coffee in the morning was my favorite activity. Easy access to the property. Restaurants and shopping within walking distance.
We will absolutely stay there again!

This top floor condo unit has been beautifully renovated, with all needed amenities. So your stay will be comfortable. Then, there’s the view! Pictures of the view are accurate, and you will not be disappointed. My kids were very impressed and super excited to use the telescope. I enjoyed my coffee every morning on the balcony taking in the view and listening to the waves. Restaurants are in east walking distance. Covered Parking for this unit was very nice as well.

I have stayed at many VRBO properties and this one is in a perfect location for all things Kailua-Kona and big island. Property is loved and not just a rental. Owner provided so much more than just a place to stay. From appliances to snorkels it’s provided. Thanks so much for the great memories for my family.

The condo was not clean when we arrived. There were no paper products when we arrived. The condo is extremely dated and could really use not only updating but also some repairs. There is also no air conditioning which we were unaware of. However, the owner was extremely helpful and came directly to our aid to clean the place. He brought the paper products with him and was extremely helpful and kind throughout our stay. The location is everything with this property! It’s right in the middle of everything in Kona! The view from the lanai is SPECTACULAR! If I owned this property I would do minor updating and some repairs, including whatever sparks in the breaker box when you run the microwave. I would get rid of the carpet and curtains because it’s too moist inside this condo. The lack of air conditioning wasn’t that much a problem really. The weather was great and we kept the lanai doors open. There was a lovely sea breeze! Overall we had a great time this vacation!

What a fabulous condo right on Ali’i drive in downtown Kona. The pictures of the property are exactly what you get in person. The condo is fully equipped with everything you can think of related to kitchen tools/appliances, to beach gear, and more. The condo was spotless and updated which made for an easy and comfortable stay. The lanai was lovely to sit on early mornings or later evenings to enjoy the view of the ocean and good weather. There were two AC units which easily cooled down the condo when you were there for long periods and overnight. It also worked well when you returned from your outings to get things comfortable. TV, cable and internet options were great. The communication with Jojo was effortless and she was quick to respond to any concerns or questions. I would highly recommend this condo and I look forward to a return next year. Mahalo nui loa…..

I can’t say enough about this condo. Clean, updated, comfortable, excellent location, and on and on. The condo is very well stocked. It has all you will need. The on-site manager (Tom) was excellent. Very detailed in his instructions and tended to our every need. Very nice guy. View is amazing. Next time we are in Kona, we will definitely stay here again. Until next time…….Maholo

It was our first time to Hawaii. We planned to come for our anniversary and the night before our long flight out the other place we had reservations at canceled our stay. We were in a panic to find another place. We saw this place available and quickly reached out. They got back to us in a very timely manner and booked us right away. Place was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Beautiful view of the ocean and perfect location to walk to beaches, shops, and restaurants. Can’t thank them enough for backing us up and making our trip just as enjoyable as we hoped. Definitely recommend staying here and if we have the chance to come back to Hawaii , we would stay here again!

I really enjoyed my stay here. Within easy walking distance to most Kona restaurants, nightlife, and the ABC Store for supplies. As mentioned, this unit does not have a/c. Depending on time of year if you are used to a/c that might be an issue for you to think on. The trade winds don't always blow into the unit. I found it to be very quiet at night. Any reviews that mention a lot of street noise I think must have been before 10pm. You're up pretty high and the balcony faces the street, but the bedroom is interior to the complex, so very quiet. I would definitely stay here again. Management was very proactive on checking in and making sure everything was going as expected.

Other than traffic noise, it was nice.
Sliding doors heavy to move. We actually spent most of our time on the lanai. We didn’t use the kitchen much and couldn’t work the tv.
The pool area is also very nice but we didn’t use it either. We are seniors so it was nice to have an elevator. Pretty much just as advertised. Property manager was very nice and helpful.

As advertised, a nice place with a good location
Apartment was clean and well equipped. The pool was better than the pictures suggested. Good location, turtles visited the shore across the street at high tide everyday we were there. We could see them from the balcony. They came to feed on the vegetation that was accessable with the high water. The first day three of them came into a little knee deep wading pool that formed with the king tides.

The location was perfect, the property managers were rude. I understand there are rules, etc.. but we parked in an unassigned spot to unload the rental (maybe 10 minutes) and they were banging on the door, waited for us, followed us to the car, and then REPORTED us to the owner. Kindness goes a long way, but the spirit of Aloha was missing here. I also have pictures of other vehicles in the "loading" area that were blocking access and not in the proper "deeded" stalls. Including the manager's white pickup truck. Also, the hallway door fell on the back of my leg, landed on my ankle, caused bruising and swelling, notified the management and owner and was told "so sorry", hope you are doing OK. No other compensation and that was when we first arrived. Someone had to have known that the folding door was broken. Will not go back to Kona anytime soon.

We recently stayed at this condo and we really enjoyed our visit to the big island. The place is well-stocked, is centrally located and was a few minutes walk to some nice restaurants & shops. It is about a 15-minute drive from the KOA airport. Lisa was very responsive to any concerns we had. We will definitely stay here again.

If you are dreaming of Sandy beach front and quiet evenings. This is not your best option. If you are ok looking to be right in the middle of a historic waterfront village she’s the Hawaiian night life (not crazy but can be loud) this is your spot. In comparison to other units I’ve stayed at in Kona Alii’, it could use a few esthetic updates. I’m not going to list them because they are just my opinion and in no way take away from the comfort or function of this unit. I would stay again. The owner is very responsive, accommodating and friendly.

You simply cannot beat the view or location of this property. We watched dolphins swim and jump every morning from the lanai. There is no a/c and when we first arrived, I thought we had made a mistake. However, once the lanai doors were opened, we were really fine the rest of the time. There was a lot of dust throughout the condo but overall it was clean. We had a wonderful time and I would stay here again.
Bethany W.
June 2023
Mary and Mark were super welcoming, and gave us our privacy when we wanted it while also being responsive when we needed it.
The location was super convenient in the heart of everything, and the unit itself was exactly as listed. Actually, we were a little nervous going in about the loft concept, but it ended up being no problem at all - it might as well have a been an actual second bedroom.
The unit is also well equipped with A/C, which we didn't think twice about, but our friends directly next door didn't have A/C at all and needed to use floor fans, making it super uncomfortable for them to sleep at night.
Would book again.
Dylan S.
June 2023
This is a well located unit and was a good size. The owners had made sure of small things you may need while staying there. While there is no A/C, we didn't feel need for it (in 2nd week of June). The breeze more than makes up for it if you open curtains. The unit is on the 5th floor which gives you a wonderful view of the ocean as well as the street and restaurants down below. I called the owner with a question and he was very nice. I highly recommend it.

Clean condo, easy to get in and out. Wake up to the ocean every morning. BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS.
Cons: check in instructions confused my husband (couldn’t locate lock boxes at first, asked for help from a very rude older tenant who said my husband should already know where everything is already) other than that an amazing stay at this place.
Traffic noise from street was expected. But I’d rather listen to the ocean waves and cars driving by than the frogs up in the mountain haha!

My family and I live on the rainy side of Big Island, and needed a break to dry out! This property fit the bill. The location is amazing and close to the heart of Kona Town. On-site parking and walking distance to restaurants was what we needed to take a break.
Communication with the property manager was great. Prior to check in I wanted to extend another night. She made it happen for me since the condo was vacant.
Pool was huge compared to other properties I’ve stayed in, never crowded. My kids didn’t want to spend much time at the beach so we were at the pool the majority of our time.
Kitchen had what we needed for what meals and snacks we prepared. Even had a dishwasher for added convenience.
Being in the heart of action means that not only do you have Kona Town at your fingertips, it also means you hear the action. Was not bad in the least and my family fell asleep without issue.
Kona Town can be pretty hot, this condo has great airflow. No need for air conditioning as long as you let the wind blow through the condo.
Thank you for a great stay! My family needs a quarterly stay in Kona, so we will be back.

JoJo is so sweet and her home is even nicer in person, more than i could have imagined! Pefect location and nice pool/bbq area. Was so nice and cool and smelled good and clean and fresh! Loved staying there being able to over look beach and Ali'i drive.. Best balcony on Allii if not all of Kona. Be carful about management thought, they aren't always welcoming.

My family of 4 (wife + two kids, ages 18 and 20) just spent 8 nights at this great condo. Not only was it clean but it had plenty of unexpected essentials (TP, laundry soap, coffee filters, tons of towels) and extras (snorkel equipment, beach chairs, beach umbrella, coolers). View of the beach is actually better than it looks in the pictures. The balcony is perfectly placed to see the incredible sunsets (that somehow last close to an hour!), while the other area catches the morning sunshine. Pool was bigger than the comments made it seem (though since it feels like peak tourism hasn't kicked in yet, perhaps it feels smaller when its more crowded). Last big plus is the location. So many restaurants, bars, and stores are within walking distance, plus you can get anywhere in town or on the island from the trolley stop across the street. First trip to Hawaii (in celebration of my daughter's high school graduation) made perfect in part by the A+ accommodation. Almost forgot the great communication from start to finish!
June 2023
I have stayed at this condo several times and highly recommend it to anyone. It's beautiful and close to everything.

We had a lovely stay. Loved the central AC and fan, the two bathrooms, and waking up to the sound of the ocean. The only thing I didn't love was the feeling of the floor tiles, I know the floor was probably cleaned but the texture of the tiles made it feel like it wasn't so. However, it didn't negatively impact our stay. Also, was concerned about pests in the Big Island, but we didn't see a single pest. So overall, we enjoyed our stay!
June 2023
This was a wonderful home away from home while we stayed in Kona for our vacation. The property was very comfortable and included everything we needed to make the most out of our time here. Host was very responsive. Hoping we can stay again next time we visit. Mahalo!

The only problem is the neighbors. My kids didn't want to swim because tenants in 207 were yelling at them about noise. They were just talking in a normal voice but they kept telling them things like, "Be quiet, don't you even understand English or can you even read?". Because of that, my family will not be returning. No problems with the owner. It's just the neighbors.

1) best view ever 2) convenience perfect 3) main bedroom too much light from outside lighting. Management brought eye mask. They were so handson. Early check in was spent with cable people after paying 30 dollars for early check in. Irritation but still loved the stay.
Been here many years in a row first time doing all arraingements myself with out travel agent and this trip was better than them all put together.

This rental was a true gem. Ocean view was beautiful and evenings on the balcony always had a spectacular sunset. The unit was clean, bedroom was a nice size with comfy bed. The extra beach towels was a nice commodity. As others have stated, there is no AC, but the breeze with the glass doors open and having all fans on was fairly comfortable. Owner was also very friendly, attentive and helpful. One thing that was misleading (but not a problem) is that the condo is NOT the green one in the picture. This is a picture from the balcony. It is a lovely walk to all the restaurants and shops in town, so we did not have to worry about parking.

May 2023
Centrally located on Alii Drive and faces the water. The overhead wires across the street were ignorable. We would sit on the lanai for hours with the fan on. The street noise quiets down during the nights so we would leave the sliding doors open to hear the waves. People watching was great. Easy walking to numerous restaurants, there were several days we didn't even use the rental car and it just sat in the assigned parking spot. We would stay here again.

We loved the property and it is exactly as shown. No surprises. It was warm without AC so we slept in the front room. The bed was not comfortable but it was worth overlooking since the rental Az a whole was so nice. We enjoyed the added touches like coffee, Mac nuts, a sweet card.

Beautiful kitchen, two bathrooms with showers one bathroom with tub. Yay! Great bed mattress, soft foam on the very top and firm beneath.
Seating in the living room was very uncomfortable, except for the two chairs that had a footstool.
Sitting at the table was particularly uncomfortable. Beautiful table.
Our first entry into the condo was very difficult. We parked in the back parking lot and were unable to get in because it was locked.
It was also difficult to leave the key because you are locked out if you do it from the second floor and the elevator. We managed by My Husband walking a long distance.
Thank you so much for a lovely time!

For people who want to stay in the heart of restaurant and shops, this would be OK, but the noise level on the street made this second floor condo less than desirable. Indeed, there was a view of the water, but the photo online didn’t show quite the extent of the very thick powerline and power poles There was a warning about noise, but it was worse than I expected with the bass thumping of car radios as they drove by on the main drag just below me. The assigned parking space was oddly shaped and right up against the building wall. I am amazed I didn’t take my side mirror off. The fact that there was an elevator, and that you needed a key to get in was good.

Karen & Ed are very responsive to questions & needs. We enjoyed the views, very comfortable beds! Even the Murphy bed.
The extra goodies & beach equipment was a nice touch & helped make our visit great.

This is a lovely apartment in a very quiet building. Right on the Main Street of Kailua, it is a short walk to all restaurants and shops. The patio doors open to the view and sounds of the ocean. Note that there are many rules in this condo complex that make for a quiet and pleasant stay. This is NOT the place for you if you like your music loud or to have noisy get together. But it’s a good home base for a single or a couple. Pics are exactly on point. Know that there are two bathrooms, both have very limited counter space. Washer and dryer work great. Lots of supplies including beach chairs and towels. Yes there is a hairdryer! Lovely kitchen. Great wifi and TV. Comfy couch and decent bed. Very close to grocery and pharmacy, etc. super easy from airport and to routes around the island. Covered parking for free is a bonus. Key access to elevators makes for good security. Lastly, Tom, the manager is a gem. Friendly, accessible, informative. Thanks, Tom!

This was the perfect place to stay with my wife and two teenage daughters. The location was excellent, and the living/sleeping arrangements surpassed our needs. We enjoyed the view of the ocean and Hualalai, and it was great to be able to just pop across the street or up to the 7th floor for great views of sunset. The parking spot was convenient to the room and easy for us to head out on adventures north or south.
The teenagers slept in the bedroom and enjoyed some much-needed privacy. My wife and I slept on the very comfortable murphy bed and appreciated being able to stay up later and sit out on the lanai. The place was equipped with everything that we needed, and I can't imagine coming back to the Big Island without staying here!

Overall, the condo was perfect for us. The location was centrally located, making everything in Kona within walking distance. The kitchen was well-equipped with lots of appliances & nice utensils. The fridge was big with filtered water and fresh ice every day. The TV in the living room was perfect as we were able to sign into our streaming services. The music system is wired to work throughout the condo and lanai. The lanai is the absolute gem of the place. We spent so much time out there enjoying the breathtaking view of Kailua Bay. The condo also has 2 boogie boards, 4 beach chairs, 4 beach towels, 2 umbrellas, sand toys, and pool noodles. The bedrooms were perfect with very comfortable beds. A few more blankets would have been great. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. There was TP, soap and shampoo there - enough to last a few days, but no conditioner. The pool was perfect - beautiful setting and nice temperature. We used it a few times and enjoyed the challenge of walking up 7 flights of stairs afterward. The only real complaint we had was the door lock. It is a combination pad only - no key. The combination is set remotely by the property management company. You get yours a few days before you check in. When my husband and I went food shopping on our second day, our 12 year old wanted to stay in the condo alone. He stays alone at home frequently. We told him not to open the door for anyone and we’d be home soon. He had the address and knew what to do in case of an emergency. As we're halfway through our food shopping trip, our phones are blowing up with frantic messages saying we need to get home now! Apparently, the condo’s maintenance man knocked on the door and wouldn’t leave. I called the management company and told them to have him leave immediately. We rushed back to the condo to find out that the man let himself inside with his own code. Thankfully he left, but when I spoke to the management company, they explained that many people have codes to get inside – vendors, maintenance people, the building management, the owner, etc. The management company was very apologetic and agreed to wipe all codes from the door lock except ours and theirs. The owner also apologized profusely and compensated us satisfactorily. Overall, the place and our stay was incredible. I added this story because the experience soured the start of our trip and as a mom, I think it would have been nice to know how the lock works before our stay.

The location is perfect for walking to dinner, shopping and the pier. The view is beautiful and fun for people watching. The check in process was a little like the "Amazing Race" - go here, do this to find your next clue... The lobby for the elevator and the entry to the stairs are always locked, so having only one key for three people was inconvenient. There is a code for the condo door, but you can't get to the door without a key. The beds in the living room would be okay for little kids, but not comfortable at all for adults. The traffic noise was loud, but mostly drownd out by the ocean crashing on the rocks. Overall, we chose this condo for the location and the view, and that did not disappoint!

Close to elevator. (Great for older folks.
Just a great stay.

Our family has been coming to Kona for many years and have stayed at several units in this building. This is one we’ve come back to multiple times—we love the sound of the ocean from the second floor, the people watching from the lanai, and how quick we can get to street level and go to our favorite places along Ali’i. We are already looking forward to our next trip!

Our family of five very much enjoyed our stay. The location was great for us as we have teenagers and they loved the energy of the place. If you really want peace and quiet in your vacation rental or if you have young children that are disturbed by traffic noise or loud music from cars then this might not be the place for you. The back bedroom was quiet enough and with the glass doors closed the traffic noise was no problem for sleeping. We loved it for the beautiful view, dolphins frolicking in the distance. Close proximity to restaurants, shopping and live music in the evenings. It was clean and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. We would stay again!

My husband, daughter and I had a fantastic stay! We had a great view of the pool as well as a little slice of the ocean. Everything in the Kona area we wanted to do was within walking distance. The kitchen was well stocked as well as the cost closet full of beach items. This place was everything we needed and more. We can not wait to come back!

This property was exactly as depicted. The views from the lanai were beatiful! It was in the low 80s every day and 70s overnight; we never felt we needed air conditioning. The street noise can be loud at times, but the patio doors did a great job of silencing that when it got to be too much. The unit was stocked with too many things to list, which we thoroughly appreciated! But, the highlights for us were the beach mats and chairs, snorkel gear, pool noodles, and extra beach towels. The Murphy Bed was actually quite comfortable (at least for one adult). The location has a walkable score of 10/10. Parking was super easy to get in/ out of. The communication with the owners was excellent and the written instructions were very much appreciated! We would stay here any day of the week! Thank you!!

We were very pleased with the condo. Great location - close to water, restaurants and shops. It was well outfitted with supplies - dishes, linens - even beach toys. The only slight negative was the the washer didn't not work well and the dryer left the contents damp. We were told these are being replaced. Management was responsive to inquiries and very helpful. Would highly recommend this VRBO.

The property was in a good location and the facilities were nice. On the downside, there wasn't any AC which was disclosed before we came so it's at your discretion but it was extremely warm at times. The entire condo is in need some deep cleaning especially the floors and walls.

We had an amazing 10 day visit at Kona Alii. The location can’t be beat for enjoying all the fun on Alii Drive.
The kitchen was fully stocked and we had everything we needed for beaching and enjoying the lovely pool.
We had excellent communication with the manager who responded in a very timely manner.

Everything was good except the washer and dryer. It took so long for the clothes to get dry, not normal.
