We spent nine days in this apartment. The apartment is nicely and cozily furnished. However, the sofa bed in the living room squeaks, which our children found uncomfortable.
What was very disruptive were the construction works that took place in various apartments of the complex throughout our stay. We were promised that there would be no construction noise on the weekend, but this was not true. Additionally, the neighbors were sometimes too loud, which disturbed our stay.
The complex is very well-maintained, and it is a pleasure to relax by the pool when there is no noise.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Kona Makai. I had a great view from the lanai, the condo was clean and well kept, and it’s a beautiful location.

Clean place, nice view. Pretty good value for the money considering how much it costs everywhere around here. We liked that there weren't many kids either.

This was a nice rental. Location is ideal. It has air-conditioning in two rooms which is nice. We did have a few issues for maintenance which were dealt with by the maintenance company quite quickly. Only drawback to this place are: the morning light in the master bedroom is very bright, and there’s no curtains or ability to make the room dark in the mornings. The bed needs to have a replaced mattress and or frame or both. No condiments or other items for cooking so it’s less convenient then other places. Only salt and pepper. Pool closes at 9. Thank you

We cannot fault out unit or stay. The Unit was exactly as described and was very large for a single bedroom apartment. Kitchen, Laundry and Bathroom all fresh and modern. The view from the balcony, and sunsets from the Pool deck, Just next level. The gardens, and complex were meticulously maintained. So peaceful, and made for a very enjoyable stay in Kona, Hi.

We had a wonderful stay at this property, and it was just as described or even better! Everything went smoothly, and had no issues. The location is fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the lanai and listening to the waves. Would definitely stay here again!

This property was perfect for my stay on the island. It was clean and had everything we could have needed. The grounds are beautiful and well kept, the views are stunning (even better than the photos), and the pool and spa were great! It is a very quiet complex, so it made the stay relaxing and enjoyable. Many gather down by the rocks to watch the sunset together! It’s a nice 20 minute walk into town and a short 5-10 minute walk to a nearby farmers market, coffee shop, and small market. The property management was wonderful to work with and easy to communicate with. I would definitely stay here again!

We stayed here for several nights and enjoyed every aspect of our stay.
The unit was nicely furnished, well stocked with supplies, towels, bedding toiletries etc. It would have been nice to have some squeeze bottle condiments in the refrigerator just so we would not have to buy that. Otherwise, everything Was perfect. We enjoyed the pool, the views and it’s convenient location to everything around Kona. We will definitely stay here again

This condo fit our needs perfectly. We loved spending time on the lanai and I would definitely recommend it to a friend. My only negative comment is that there were no bar stools and we could not sit inside to eat. The straps on 2 of the chairs on the lanai were broken which was surprising considering the excellent condition of the condo and the fact that there was no place else to sit and eat.

Staying at the Kona Makai was fantastic. The complex is well looked after and the manager was great. Unit 6-204 was really nice. It looked recently renovated and had most everything we needed. The view from the lanai was beautiful. Town is only a 20 minute walk from the complex so we rarely drove into town.

We have rented other units at Kona Makai and they are all similar. It is a nice location. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The grounds are well kept and quiet. This unit was clean and had good appliances. The view is decent because it is on the second level. We saw whales and dolphins daily. Things that could be improved are the bed and internet. The internet is basically non functional. Everybody is trying to use it and it is on an unlocked network. It is not slow it just won't let you connect. The bed is the worst we have ever slept on. Think of sleeping on the box springs only and you get an idea how bad it was. We put our camping mattresses on top to try to get some sleep. We are used to camping but were expecting a little better. The last few nights we slept on bed that folds out of the couch. It was 100 times better. Most other units have a good selection of stuff for going to the beach. This one had minimal stuff and in the rules you couldn't leave anything you purchased like boogie boards or beach matts. Plan on buying most of this stuff if you stay here.

Pro's: Very nice, clean, modern, impressive upgrades, especially the bathroom and kitchen. Used the big cooler everyday. Love the lanai, great place for breakfast, wine, relaxing, whale watching. There was a mama whale with her baby that swam near this area. Great place to snorkel if the ocean is calm. There was even a wagon on the property to use to load and unload your vehicle. It's a good walking distance to shops and restaurants and morning walks. Unit 6-204 was very comfortable and inviting. Con's: No Safe to put away your valuables. Also, it would've been nice to have 2 stools at the kitchen counter.
