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!

Perfect for our needs - Murphy bed a plus instead of a convertible couch. Exceeded our expectations. Well equipped kitchen. Great experience overall!

Condo was spotless and well laid out with two bathrooms, a large bedroom and large living room/kichen. The view was spectacular! Only issue was the loud road noise which we were ready for when we booked.

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.

Positives:Great location in heart of Old Kona Town.Walking distance from restaurants, shops, farmers' market, library.Beautiful ocean viewNice pool – but entirely in shadeProperty Management company that was listed as the property manager in VRBO was excellent with prompt responses to questions prior to our arrival and during our stay. They tried to remedy the problems with the AC, unsuccessfully.Negatives:We were unable to contact the actual on-site manager with concerns during our stay.Condo in poor repair and need of paint and updated furniture in bedroom.King mattress in bedroom very soft with poor support.AC unit in bedroom leaked the first night, causing a significant puddle in the bedroom. Reported to Property Management Realtor who responded immediately. This was determined to be a problem that required actual on-site resident manager intervention. No intervention was provided, nor was contact received during our entire 8 day stay, beyond a note that told us not to use the AC. The AC unit in the living room worked for most of the stay but began to leak badly on Day 7. Thus we had no AC for the final days of the stay. Relying on ceiling fans for cooling when the unit was advertised as having presumably working AC made this property uncomfortably warm. Timely attention to necessary repairs at the minimum should be required before further rental.

The Kona Ali’i 710 Penthouse is our new home in Kona. We had excellent communication with Igor and Dawn about the unit and it was everything we had hoped for. The location is perfect, right in downtown Kona steps from all the restaurants and shops. The condo itself is beautiful, furnished with EVERYTHING one would need. We enjoyed the decks and use of the pool. We will be back

Unit 410 has very nice modern apppointments including excellent air conditioning. You can relax and listen to the ocean all day and night. The view from the living room and balcony is very pleasing to the eye. The property management is the best I have ever experienced. You can't beat the location. Everything is within easy walking distance. You are going to feel so good staying at this Condo. So what are you waiting for? Don't you want to feel good? Book this condo now!

We really enjoyed our stay in this unit at the Kona Alii. The location is great, within walking distance of all the restaurants and attractions in downtown Kona. The assigned parking spot is a big plus now that the public lots charge a fee to park. We liked to go on excursions during the day and then park the car and try a different restaurant every night.The unit itself is very comfortable with a lot of little touches that make it a great place to stay. The two bathrooms makes getting ready to go out quicker. There are plenty of hangars in the closets (great for those of us who don't pack light. The washer/drier meant we didn't have to fly home with wet bathing suits. We had a great lanai that overlooked the pool and never got too hot. We had great communication with the host before and during out stay. I sent all my Christmas cards from Kona and the very cool writing desk was a great place to write them. We will definitely stay at the this unit again.

We brought our 16 year old granddaughter with us for her first trip to Hawaii. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the room and location! Plenty of room for us all and ALL the amenities that one needs. Comfortable beds and excellent views from the Lanai.We had friends come to our room nightly for the sunsets! Had a great visit and we will definitely be back!

Everything about this condo is just great. The place is very clean. We practically lived only in the living room where you can hear the ocean. The bedroom had become our storage. When we come next time, this will be my first choice to stay. The restaurants and groceries are nearby and in walking distance.

Great location and excellent water view.Walk to many restaurants. The unit was well stocked and most everything was operational. My wife was in a wheelchair which is complicated there due to the separation of the elevator and parking. Handcap bars and hand spray on tub and shower would have been nice, plus Street noise was bad up till about 2AM.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Kona Alii condo. The location is conveniently located. I liked the key lock box and would use it every day to store room keys when we were out and about.
The unit itself was larger than I had imagined from the pictures and the ocean view from the balcony is outstanding. I think about every second day we watched a group of dolphins playing from the balcony.
The bed was surprisingly comfortable for me and the kitchen had more than enough pots, pans, dishes, and cutlery for what we wanted to do. We also used the BBQs a couple of time and they worked very well.

Fantastic ocean view and right next to numerous restaurants and shops. 1/2 mile walk to the Pier. All the amenities you could think of. Having a Washer and Dryer was super convenient. We will definitely come back. Out of the owners control, there was some very loud construction going on in the condo above or next to us.

This place is excellent for a small group (1-3 people). It is very centrally located, a short walk to all the downtown Kona shops and restaurants. Being so close to Alii'i Drive and everything else means it's not for the lightest of sleepers, it did not bother me. Like I said, it's great that it's a short walk to everything. It is nice to have a reserved parking spot, parking in Kona is a challenge at the best of times. The unit is well stocked, although I did not take much advantage of that. Nor did I ever manage to use the pool, but it looked nice. Check-in/check-out went smoothly. I would definitely stay there again.

This is a 4th floor corner unit with covered parking and no AC. The sea breeze and fans do an adequate job of
coolong. The unit fronts on Ali'i Dr, the main Kona thoroughfare. It is noisy and loud. It is steps to Temple Bar, Huggos and other Kona .establishment. There is homeless encampment in the park across the street.
