This VRBO was located in the perfect spot especially for anyone visiting without renting a car. We could get to all the shops and restaurants easily, the apartment was cozy and had all the amenities you could need, the host was super responsive and it felt like an island respite.

Great place, comfy, well stocked with basics, right in the center of the strip in downtown Kona with LOTS of dining options and best of all no parking issues!

We enjoyed the location very much. I would have loved it if they had two beach chairs and an umbrella, as those hard to travel with.

Loved the location to restaurants and walking about down town. Complex is in need of some updating. Parking garage is a bit scary. Our unit was sufficient for our needs but could use a bit of updating as it is a bit worn looking.

We found Kona Plaza just fine but finding the parking garage was a little more difficult. Check in was easy and it was a nice clean condo meeting all our needs. They didn’t have a cooler but the management took care of it promptly. It’s in a great location to travel to both the south and north shore and close to the airport! There are some nice beaches close and fun shopping centers right outside the condo! We were very happy with how comfortable our unit was. We would go again and enjoy the beautiful sunsets!

I wanted a place I could walk from into the center of Kona and this is the place. Clean and many extras made available for me and my friends to use. Owners are very responsive and their description is very accurate. If you want to experience all that Kona has to offer you can’t go wrong with this condo. Thank you.

Great condo just one block from the main hub of kileau kona. Clean well stocked and nice lanai to sit out on in the evening and morning . Walking distance to shops and places to eat. Definitely try Da Shark Shack.

Great location! Unit was clean. Loved the spacious lanai. Bath supplies were a little on the light side. Daycare at the church with screaming children was annoying during the week if you were in the unit during daycare hours. One of the beds made loud noises every time you moved but we were able to use the other bedroom which was nice

It was comfortable, clean, and a great location. The two beds in the living room were perfect for my grandsons. It was nicely supplied, including beach chairs and other equipment for enjoying the ocean. The balcony view was of the swimming pool. But there’s a lovely upstairs patio on the fourth floor for viewing the sunset and barbecuing.

Pros: location is great, close to everything. Cons: place have cockroaches everywhere. We checked in very late night, after turning lights on, cockroaches were running all over the kitchen and living room area. Office was helpful to supply us with traps, but still seeing them every day wasn’t pleasant. Property description is not clear upon the booking. We stayed 10 days 4 people, and were supplied with small amount of amenities that last 1 day. When you book the property, and made a payment, contract is send out later with details that should be obvious prior to ovoid surprise. Also no one mention the building structure look unsafe. All garage level have supporting posts and beams, cracks all over foundation. Additional sofa in LR was uncomfortable to sleep on.

Right in downtown, great location. The condo was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the lanai was spacious. The kitchen is very small and did not lend itself to much cooking. The toilet hose leaked, and the property manager told us to put a towel down.

Great location. I could walk to a nice place for snorkeling in about 6 minutes. The instructions need to be updated. The complex is being upgraded. So, there is no guest parking and no assigned parking contrary to the instructions. Other instructions that have changed due to the construction should also be updated.

![Kona Plaza 2 Bedroom Condo]()
The condo is situated in a parking lot, and the views from both bedrooms were disappointing. One bedroom looked directly into the parking lot, while the second faced the ramp to the garage. The pool area was just on the other side of the lanai blinds, and it felt like there was zero privacy. You could easily reach out and interact with someone in the pool, and the constant noise from the area was hard to ignore.
Additionally, the condo itself was in need of a thorough cleaning. There was a strong, musty smell throughout, which unfortunately permeated everything we brought inside. Our clothes and hair ended up smelling like the musty odor, which made the stay even more uncomfortable. The beds were small, barely double-sized, and far from comfortable. Only one bedroom had air conditioning, and the rest of the condo was stuffy, which made it hard to relax.
On the positive side, the property manager was very helpful and friendly, which was appreciated. However, despite this, the overall experience left much to be desired. Between the lack of privacy, the unpleasant smell, and the uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, I wouldn't recommend this condo for anyone seeking a peaceful or relaxing stay in Kona.

We moved over to the condo after spending a week at our timeshare. The location is great. Lots of beach towels and bath towels. Kitchen is fully stocked. We did apricate all of the storage containers. We were able to park in the upper lot and not the underground. The air conditioning is great.
Also, the screened in Lani was nice in the early morning for breakfast. We would stay here again.

We loved our time at this rental. The kitchen is well stocked. It is centrally located. The pool is great and there are lots of sand toys Floaties umbrellas available. The beds were extremely comfortable although they are small. There is floor mats that you can use to sleep on in one of the bedrooms. We can’t wait to come back!!!

Stayed 6 nights, we have stayed at this location in the past and like the convenience if wanting to stay in Kona. The mattress was too firm and pillows flat and need to be replaced. The window in the bedroom needs blackout shades because the light from the outdoor corridor makes the room lit all night. As for the hide-a-bed it looks old and can’t imagine anyone would sleep well on it. The beach chairs are super uncomfortable so found the beach towels best for a day on the beach and would be helpful if they added a small cooler for the beach. Positives: clean, location, excellent lanai, good kitchen, the chairs in the living room are recliners and comfortable, easy check in and great parking for the area. Good coffee and smoothies on the first level, two great locations you can choose from.

Perfect location in downtown Kona. Shopping, restaurants, scenic viewpoints, Farmers' Market and more all within easy walking distance.
Everything we needed for 1st day stay available in unit. Wrap around lanai and water view in distance wonderful.
Building communication and upkeep expectations met.
Only feedback is 2nd bedroom mattress made more comfortable with hard flat platform/boxspring or thicker mattress. Absolutely would choose this location again.

Despite being super close to all the shops and restaurants I would not stay here again. On our second day in Hawaii after being all day outside we were greeted by cockroaches in the house. After calling the support line for the rental all they did was recommend us to buy raid spray and we would be reimbursed for the product. After spraying every corner of the place we still found cockroaches the next day. After messaging the support line again all they could offer were traps for these pests. We couldn’t even cook in the building because we were so disgusted by the fact that there were so many cockroaches. After messaging and talking with the support line about how horrible this experience was and spending over a grand on our stay the only reimbursement me received was a lousy $100. DO NOT BOOK UNLESS YOU WANT TO SHARE THE SPACE WITH COCKROACHES.

We had a great stay and enjoyed the condo very much. The 2nd couple wished there was an AC in the 2nd bedroom, and the bathrooms were a little dirty on our arrival, but other than that it was great. We played games and puzzles, and loved the location. appreciate

This is the perfect place to stay to attend/compete in the Ironman. This unit was solid, had everything we needed, but could have used a little bit of additional care. It was not dirty or in bad shape but it just felt old and had some areas that could have been better (like a closet door with a paint stain on it). We have seen other units in the same complex that just gave a lighter, newer, cleaner overall feel. Again, we didn't have any issues with staying there and you cannot beat the location and convenience, and it has plenty of space.
