This condo was great for my wife and I. Ocean front beautiful views from the grounds but no ocean water access. Pool and neighboring salt water pool were great. Condo was outfitted with everything we needed and the beach gear was a nice bonus for our daily adventures.
This area of Kona is a great central area for all kinds of daily activities, however the only downside is limited food/activities within easy walking distance. With a rental car it was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Walking distance to “best of the island“ fish tacos, and dreamy sunsets every night. Centrally located for snorkel adventures and easy access to stores and restaurants. The kitchen had everything we needed and more.

My wife and I had previously stayed at this property about 5 years ago during our first visit to Kona. We had such a great time then that we booked to stay again and we had another great stay. The condo is recently renovated, extremely clean, and provides all the comforts of home, including beach-going supplies. We love that the complex is quiet and gives a more private atmosphere but is still close enough to town so that you can enjoy everything Kona has to offer with only a short drive. Thank you Audri for sharing your slice of paradise! We’re already looking forward to another trip.

Wonderful stay in Kona. Great condo. Only suggested improvement would be the air conditioner. The one in the living area is quite loud and there is none in the bedroom so it got a little hot.

We absolutlely loved this property.
The condo was well equipped and cutely decorated, but we mostly wanted to stay here because of the condo complex itself. Three story, very low key, I think it was just 4 small buildings and all situated so that each unit has a view of the ocean and a LOVELY, quiet beachfront common area. We sat out there quite often and several times organized local fish purchase, drinks or wine to go out at sunset, grill our dinner and relax and watch the amazing ocean and sunsets. There is not a better dining location or ambiance on the island.
We had a few minor issues with the condo that would be expected here on tropical island paradise, which Audri quickly and graciously took care of.
We host a vacation unit here in our hometown of Portland OR and know how challenging things can be to keep everything together, so if you notice anything or need anything, just let Audri know and she will make it right. She is a five-star hostess!
Hope others will enjoy this condo complex and Audri's unit. It is kind of a hidden gem. We plan to be back as soon as we can!

We felt at home in our unit. We let the ocean breeze flow through to stay comfortable. The A/C works fine but we like the sound and feel of the ocean. Close to everything and a great home base while exploring the island.
We were very happy with our stay and wish it had been longer.
Best!

Lovely condo, exactly as shown. We loved having the gas grills and picnic area with lounge chairs. There was always a group of friendly people gathering to watch the sunsets and the whales. Owner was full of helpful suggestions and great communication. Do yourself a favour and eat at Jackie Rey’s and the Rebel Kitchen - both were fantastic!
February 2024
Well designed and thought out condo. Some of the cooking utensils are getting well used and could be replaced, but everything was useable and functional.
Beautiful grounds and will definitely stay here again when I can!

Great location to explore the Kona Coast. Beautiful condo and grounds. Well stocked kitchen with comfortable bed and furniture. The highlight is the condo's oceanfront which was great for lounging around, barbecues, picnic area and sunsets. We really enjoyed our 7 night stay.

January 2024
This was our sixth trip to Kona Isle and we found this well-appointed unit has nice touches that many rentals lack: dishwasher, numerous hooks for convenient storage, a keypad for the door so you never worry about keys, and kitchen knives sharp enough to enjoy preparing food.
Most importantly, the owner is helpful and responsive. When we had a minor hiccup, she called quickly and everything was resolved in a matter of minutes. When our flight home was canceled, she was super kind and helpful to accommodate us for a couple of extra days despite the hassle of rescheduling cleaning between tenants. Definitely recommend this owner and condo!

Our expectations for the condo were certainly met, a totally enjoyable landing pad. The facility grounds are beautifully landscaped, inviting a variety of birds to appreciate while we sipped coffee on the lanai. The waterfront beach/BBQ area quickly became our favorite lounging spot, especially at sunset and lingering while the stars arrived.
Amenities in the unit were incredibly thoughtful and complete, small touches like Q-tips and notepads are helpful surprises in a rental. Beach toys were as advertised, even better thanks to a sweet umbrella! Audri is a great host, her clear communication and documentation proved very helpful. Thank you eversomuch for hosting us! :-)

This property is in the near perfect location--very quiet and low key but close enough to the highlights of Kona Town so you do not feel detached. Wonderful sunset views, and is a perfect location to base your time on the island. Highly recommended.

The condo was clean and beautifully decorated. The grounds and pool were also beautiful. The host was very responsive. We got to town a bit early and we're dreading killing time until check in so I messaged Audri and she immediately replied giving us the to ahead to check in early. That was much appreciated.

Lovely welcome bag provided and the lanai had a great view down to the ocean. Minutes away from shopping and great dining.

Audri made this stay very comforting. It was very clean and tidy. She has so much beach gear available for use. She was always available for any questions and very helpful. I was having trouble getting in my first day there and Audri immediately answered my call. She even had a bag full of goodies waiting for me on the kitchen counter (super sweet). I will definitely be booking again with Audri when I visit the Big Island again.

This unit was an amazing find! Clean and up to date with all the amenities we could ask for from snorkel gear to sunscreen. Community is quiet and had great amenities including a library, private beach area and pool. Easy access to convenience store next door, farmers market a block away and free trolley out front that takes you into town and stores. Owner Audri shared tons of great info on places to eat and things to do and was very accommodating. As a family we highly recommend this unit and plan to visit again!

This unit is just like the pictures! We slept to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. The beach gear and suggestions of things to do were really appreciated. Audri was a thoughtful host and communicated as needed. The location was quiet and right on the trolley stop. Thanks!

This area was agreat location. Far enough from the beginning of the tourist area, but a good walk into town in the morning before it got busy. Everything on the island was a 2+ hour drive but that was expected.
The condo was clean and quiet. Equipt with everything you needed. The owners we very helpful with sites to see and places eat (we checked out all their suggestions and then some new ones). Audri was accessible by phone and a pleasure to speak with.
The pool and lounge area were excellent for relaxing and reading a book. The buildings are older but very well maintained.

This was our second stay at the Kona Isle, first time in this condo. It is in a great location, has a nice salt water/ocean fed pool. Condo was recently remodeled and has all the amenities we look for (coffee grinder is a must have when near Kona!).
Our trip was unfortunately interrupted by some unexpected maintenance work on the pipes but Audri was very helpful and communicative about the problems and put us up at a nice nearby resort.

Within a week we were able to see a lava tube, an active volcano, visit several beaches and many sessions of snorkeling.
We rented a car and self-guided everything and it really helped that the condo owner provided so much - chairs, umbrella, towels, snorkels, cooler, bath toys, picnic blankets etc.
Audri the owner was extremely responsive. She even called to ensure we had a safe check in and provided a lot of tips on where to visit and when to help plan our trip.
Other under appreciated things about the condo - reserved parking, heated pool, grills for outdoor cooking and a lanai with an excellent view.

Honestly, the photos don't do this place justice. I was blown away by how close this condo is to the ocean. Heard the waves crashing on the shore every night, sat on the balcony looking at the ocean to do my work every day, lounged by the water on the Kona Isle's lounge chairs on my breaks. I loved the condo association's rules about no out-loud speakers on the property, which really made this place a haven from the hubbub of the fun Kailua Village just down the road. The full kitchen is spacious, and I ate breakfast every morning on the balcony. The decor is clearly carefully chosen to be peaceful and calm and obviously beachy, which I loved, too. No complaints. Will certainly hope to stay here again when I come to visit my family.

Great little retreat right on the beach. Very clean and owner was very accommodating and communicative. Location is right in town with easy access to restaurants, shops etc... The only downside is there is a beautiful ocean right out your door but no actual beach to walk on but very pretty to enjoy every day and sit out and watch Hawaii's beautiful sunsets. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you Audri!
Marie M.
February 2022
Very clean, well appointed and Audri is a wonderful host. Side ocean view from lanai and stunning ocean views from the common BBQ/sitting area right on the water. Note there is no elevator so you will need to take 3 flights of stairs which wasn’t a big deal for us but may be a problem for others with mobility concerns. Overall terrific stay for a short get away.

This condo was very clean and came with some
nice finishing touches like a goodie bag filled with Hawaiian shortbread cookies. Audri made sure to give us plenty of information on what to do and where to eat in Kona. The view of the ocean is beautiful. It is close to Magic Sands beach and downtown Kona. Everything was within a 10-30 min drive, even the airport. The bed is super comfortable and the sofa bed is fine with the feather bed topper. I would definitely stay there again.

Everything PRECISELY as advertised! Audri is a GREAT host with lots of useful information especially as traveling to the islands is still complicated by COVID rules, guidelines and protocols. Condo is precisely as advertised--no surprises upon arrival and the complex is just the right size--nice folks gather along the shore for the spectacular sunsets. Good location between Kailua-Kona and Holualoah so you can quickly get on the road to just about anywhere on the island--even Kilauea (it's absolutely worth seeing Kilauea after dark, but it is 90 miles--Hawaii is called the Big Island for a reason!). And, both Kona and Keauhou farmer's markets are worth checking out. Just pay close attention to markets and attractions that may be open only certain days. And, pay attention to the moon-phase if you want to stargaze from the summit of Mauna Kea (the full moon was spectacular, but we will go back around a new moon to see the stars!). Thanks Audri for making our first visit spectacular.

We had a great five days here. The unit is perfectly clean, completely updated, and so well-decorated. They have installed plenty of space-saving items that even a small space felt plenty well utilized and roomy. Bed very comfortable. Other furniture very nice. The complex is very quiet and everyone seems to respect the rules for keeping it that way. We experienced some rough weather and Audri the owner was on top of things to make sure we knew what to do in case of power outages etc. I look forward to staying here again.
December 2021
Could not have been happier with my stay. Everything was as listed and more. Communication with Audri was quick and helpful. The property was so well cared for. Quiet hours were respected and wonderful opportunity to meet local home owners and travellers alike. I had online work during my visit and the wifi was reliable and stable. The location so central to access the Big Island. Thank you Audri for your care and attention. If you stay here you will not be disappointed!

We loved our stay at Kona Isle! The condo is located in a great location,,, not too far from town and right on the water. There is a nice swimming pool and a terrific area set up for barbecuing, watching the sunset, or just soaking in the sounds of the waves. The condo itself is adorable. Audri has it decorated so cute. It is very functional for two and stocked with everything you need. It is so clean too. You do have a view of the ocean from the patio which is great for drinking that cup of morning coffee or evening wine. We would definitely try to stay at this place again should we return to this area.

Audri lined out everything for us before we arrived. The condo was clean and well decorated-very homey. There was a cool welcome basket with some goodies on the counter. The kitchen was well stocked. We appreciated access to the beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards. The girls liked the feather cover for the pullout couch. We were very pleased and would definitely recommend this condo.

August 2021
My husband and I stayed in Audri's condo for a week in mid July as a much-needed getaway after being cooped up for a year and a half at home. The location was perfect for us -- away from the crowds in downtown (and thus very quiet and peaceful), but close enough to everything that we could grab dinner or run to the grocery store in just a 5-10 minute drive.
The condo itself was spotlessly clean, and we appreciated the modern decor and updated kitchen and bathroom (which isn't the case for other units in the building). It was incredibly convenient to have a washer and dryer, as well as a dishwasher and full sized kitchen stocked with anything you need to make meals. We made use of the AC in the afternoons, but otherwise it was perfectly pleasant to leave the sliding door and windows open in the mornings and evenings.
Our favorite features of the complex were the (free) assigned parking and the spacious common area right along the water. We never had difficulty finding a lounge chair or picnic table, and it was lovely to have dinner and drinks as we watched the sunset.
Finally, Audri was delightful to work with. She sent detailed instructions and was always quick to respond by text in all of our communications. Check in and out was a breeze.
Needless to say, we will 100% stay here again on our next visit. Highly recommend!
Sabrina M.

My husband and I stayed in Audri's condo for over a week and had a fantastic time. The bed was SUPER comfy and the shower pressure was amazing! The condo decor is really cute and cozy and the wifi was fast and reliable for telecommuting. It was really great to have beach chairs that we could take to the beach - and boogie board and towels!
Audri was super responsive and treated us well. Would definitely stay here again the next time we're on the big island 😊

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is right on the water with bbqs and lounge chairs (on sand) overlooking the water. We loved the crowd that gathered each evening for the sunset. Very quiet and located perfectly for North and South destinations. Beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella and cooler were utilized daily. Has everything you could want! Nice deck overlooks the pool and shoreline too. Don't hesitate and book this one!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The apartment was neat and tidy and the perfect size for my husband and I. All the amenities we needed were available, the ocean was clearly seen and heard from the balcony (which was my fav part) and the whole complex was quiet. (for a couple's only trip, that was perfect). We will definitely stay here again.

Everything is just like you see on the listing and better. Condo is perfect size for a couple and/or a kid or two. Cutely decorated with everything you will need during your stay. (of course except food). The grounds are immaculate, and well tended. The pool area is big enough to Covid distance and the grass/sand/BBQ area is the highlight. Lots of shade, lounge chairs, tables to enjoy your BBQ meal or have cocktails and enjoy the sunset. I didn't want to leave and I will be back again. I actually wanted to give the owners a buy offer!! Who bye the way were easy to communicate with.
My highlight was listening to the waves at night in bed , having coffee and watching the waves on the lanai.

Condo was well situated and well appointed for a Holiday in Kona.
Beach gear was supplied in the condo which was nice to have.
Barbecuing at the beach in the evening was a great pleasure as you meet many other guests and owners. We loved the big waves breaking and the sunsets. Hang by the pool. Tour the Island or enjoy the great restaurants in Kona. We enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Our experience in this unit, B 36, was outstanding. There were so many amenities I cannot name them all on the short summary. The place was immaculate with everything we could’ve thought of needing already provided. The special touches of a shell Christmas tree, champagne, and snacks for our 50th wedding anniversary made it a luxurious, wonderful experience. The owners obviously care about the people who stay here and their unit in particular. Their efficiency and articulation of everything needed was absolutely perfect and five stars is well deserved.

A beautiful property. Right on the Ocean. We plan on coming back again. Our Condo was beautiful and very comfortable.
