Very enjoyable stay and we loved the convenient location to town. The small quiet complex and well-kept grounds were perfect. The view from the unit was incredible! We loved having breakfast and relaxing in the evenings on the lovely lanai. Saw a large pod of whales on our first morning right from the lanai. A great unit for 2 people. I hope to return on my next trip to Kona. The owner was very accommodating and easy to work with.

This is our 3rd time staying at Kona Isle and the first time in this unit. It was as amazing!The unit is so well put together, everything that we needed. The highlights for us were the pool, the sunset, the BBQ area and how everyone meets down there to watch the sunset (and claps when its a good one! LOL).The bed is very comfortable and we had all the beach stuff we could ever need. Will definitely consider staying here again if we get back to the Big Island...which I hope we do soon! Thanks for everything.

My wife and I stayed at this property for our anniversary trip to the big island. The unit was wonderfully decorated, the kitchen had an open layout and was updated, in unit washer and dryer, and the lanai had a beautiful view of the ocean when looking west out from the lanai. The unit has an AC window unit, which was a little loud, and didn't cool the bedroom too much, but there was a ceiling fan in the bedroom to keep it cool. The grounds were well kept and nicely landscaped. We grilled several times at the outdoor beach area and watched so many beautiful sunsets and a couple of moonsets (yes, at 3 in the morning!). The shaded seating, benches, loungers, and the palm trees in the beach area was very relaxing and peaceful while listening to the waves. Although we didn't swim in the pool, it was very clean and well tended. There are a lot of beach "extras" supplied such as beach chairs, boogie boards, a beach umbrella (we used this at Magic Sands beach, and it was fantastic) and a nice size cooler for food/beverages. Audri was very quick to answer any questions we had, and it was a pleasure to interact with her. Thank you, Audri, for making our anniversary trip so wonderful, relaxing, and memorable!

Excellent property for two people. Great layout. Everything was in working order and clean. Nice pool and a public salt-water pool near property. Great views of the ocean. We loved waking up and going to bed with the sounds of the waves breaking on the beach. Overall property was very well manicured. Check in was super fast. Very close to downtown Kona. We will be booking this property again.

The condo is in great location a little south of the busiest area of Kailua Kona bay. Less commercial but still very convenient. It has a great ocean/pool view. The condo is spacious with a sink in master bedroom which provides additional convenience. Checkin and checkout very easy. We enjoyed it very much.

The location was great, as advertised with views from the lanai so we didn't have to go anywhere to enjoy the ocean and hear the waves breaking.Very well equipped condo with everything we needed and then some. Communication and responsiveness with the owner and property manager was excellent.The only negative was the firmness of the bed. The rest of the furnishings were very nice and comfortable.I would recommend and stay at the is location again.

You can’t beat the views from this third floor corner unit, the lanai was a treat any time of day or night. AC worked well when we needed it at night. Kitchen was well stocked, instruction book clear and communication with owner great. The remodel is now dated, and a bit worn out. The mattress needs to be replaced and the fridge didn’t work, which we discovered the day after we had loaded it with groceries. Thankfully there was a small fridge in the condo we could use. Owner was in the process of getting a replacement fridge. Unit was clean but needs a deep clean (screen in the shower, dusting light fixtures, grout, etc. )The grounds and pool are excellent, loved the lounge area on the “beach” and pool. Overall, we expected a bit more for the price, based on our many previous Vrbo rentals.

My husband, me and our 15 month old infant had a great time staying here. It's only few minutes away from lots of attractions that Kona can offer. We loved our morning time hanging out on the rocky beach of the property and taking our toddler to the tide pools only steps away from where we stayed. I hope we get to visit Kona again, we now know where to stay!

Great location . A small condo complex which makes a nice relaxing quiet setting no loud music or partying. Kitchen is well stocked thanks for having containers to store left overs Beach towels chairs and a cooler. Clean,bed was comfy loved the heavy blinds to block out light at night.Would recommend to my friends

Our one week stay was amazing. The condo was clean and well equipped with starter coffee, sugar and spices as well as diswasher detergent and laundry soap. We enjoyed four nights barbequing and sitting on the lanai watching the waves and sunset. A nice 2.5 km walk into town was great for a brunch in one of the many open air restaurants. We loved the relaxed vibe of the big island. We look forward to returning in 2025. Thank you Gary and Yan!

We stayed for one week and thoroughly enjoyed the location and grounds. We enjoyed the beach area next to the ocean with the lounge chairs and bbq. It was a great area to watch the sunset. The other people staying in the complex were super friendly and we had great conversations one afternoon by the pool. The check-in process went flawlessly and the communication with the property manager was excellent. The unit itself had everything that we needed and the lanai had a great view of the pool and ocean.

The condo unit was well equipped with all we needed for our holiday. The kitchen has everything you need to make easy meals. Even though we didn’t use it, there was all kinds of snorkelling gear and beach chairs. The location was central and close to all things that we wanted to see and do. We would definitely stay here again. The management was quick to respond to our one request regarding the wifi and it was resolved in minutes - our mistake, not theirs.

This our second time on Hawai’i Island but first time in a Knutson managed property. The condo we rented was in a nice location. It has an awesome ocean view. At least three occasions we watched dolphins in the ocean from our lanai. The dolphin “shows” alone were worth the price of admission.The unit itself was clean and fairly well maintained. Knutson offered help if we needed it. There were no issues that required immediate attention or affected our stay. Yes, we would recommend a Knutson managed property to our friends.

Pictures and description matched the in-person experience. I appreciated the beach materials and cookware available to make the stay convenient for all activities! At one point we thought we were locked out on the patio but the owner was responsive and immediately helped resolve the issue. Hoping the washer is cleaned d/t mildew smell, but everything else was great and we would stay there again!

This was a great condo to come back to after a day of exploring to watch the sunsets over the water. There is an area right on the property at the shore with sand and chairs behind a seawall of black lava rocks from which to watch the sunsets or night sky. My wife saw whales from there. There are barbeques there as well. People there are very friendly to newcomers. It was very quiet there in the evenings and night.
This place has a dedicated parking spot like everyone else appears to have so there was enough parking to go around for all. Nobody else was ever parked in our spot.
Inside the condo it was clean and has some tasteful Hawaii décor to help get you in the local spirit.
It's well stocked with everything you'd imagine a condo would have such as towels, dishes, frying pans, etc. It was great to have food in the fridge, and do some cooking there to save on the restaurant time and bills.
We found the body surfing boards and took one out to Kua Bay and our son says the body surfing was the best part of the whole trip!
The host Michael proactively contacted me a few days before we arrived to let me know the check-in process and how to access the keys to the condo.
If we return to Hawaii in a few years we'll stay there again if this condo is still available.

We had a wonderful stay here for 2 weeks. The unit itself was exactly as described; light and airy decor, well stocked kitchen and a comfortable bed. We enjoyed the lanai every morning and evening. The sunset view is amazing! We also really liked spending time by the pool and on the lounges under the trees, listening to the waves.
The condo complex is very conveniently located, close to beaches, restaurants and stores.
We enjoyed every minute and would love to visit again!

We have stayed at Kona Isle before and love the location. We loved that this unit is on the ground floor, but it had some problems. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, but unfortunately it was TINY (the washer/dryer in the kitchen took up a lot of space). Very little counter space and only 1 person could fit at a time. The old electric stove was either too hot or not hot enough. The air conditioner was LOUD--you had to speak loudly to be heard over it. The king bed made the bedroom feel too small. Overall, clean, well-stocked, but VERY SMALL. The 2 of us felt cramped--I would never attempt to have more than 2 in this place.

Property listing indicated the unit was air conditioned. This was definitely not accurate. There was a portable air conditioner in the bedroom but nothing in the rest of the unit. It was miserably hot, over 80 degrees, in the unit the entire trip despite the use of multiple fans. Almost to the point of being unbearable. We would have asked to move but were there during Iron Man so knew there wouldn’t be anything available.

Have stayed at this properly several times before but not in this particular unit. Ground floor convenient for use of pool, shoreline relaxation, and proximity to bbq. Whoops , forgot to mention sunsets. Although there wasn’t air conditioning, unit had 3 overhead fans, and a portable oscillating fan that kept condo very comfortable. Appreciated extra large side by side refrigerator/ freezer. Well appointed furniture and tasteful touches. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

We really enjoyed this property. Very clean and well kept. A couple of considerations however for those with mobility issues, this is a third floor unit with no elevator access. I have a bad knee and by the end of the trip my knee was shot from all the walking and sightseeing, so the stairs were a bit of a pain point for me. Also, the unit is beautiful and we really enjoyed the view from the lanai, but the windows for the bedroom are louvered windows and do let quite a bit of sound in from outside, so if you're a light sleeper, I recommend running white noise on your phone or running the fan on a higher setting. The beach chairs in the closet, and the cooler that was available made our stay a lot easier to plan without having to worry about renting or purchasing things we would need to leave behind. Also want to add that Knutson and Associates was fantastic to work with, and provided such clear instructions for making our stay as worry free as possible. They also provided ample communication to ensure our needs were met.

Our stay was very nice. A few suggestions -
The shower head and 1/2 shower door was different. The floors were always wet and difficult to get a 'good' shower. Strange not to have a bathroom fan.
Additional TV Instructions, other than local TV, would have been helpful.
Washer/Dryer instructions would have been helpful. Strange that it would take 3 hours to do one load. Not sure about the hole behind the washer/dryer, but we did end up with one cockroach.
Instructions for the dishwasher would have also been helpful. We handwashed everything and never needed the dishwasher. It was at your request to run it.
The homeless encampment was a bit uncomfortable at first but we learned to deal with it.
Very disappointed that there was not a recycling location on the premises.
ALL in all D1 was wonderful and we would rent it again.
