It's the first time I have written feedback for a business.
However, for a business that tries to do a good job for the
customers, it's rude not to say any appreciation words. First of all, it describes the truth of its property and location. For its cleanliness, one must be there to see it because when I was changing a bad cover, there weren't any stains or molds on the bed. In addition, as someone picky about bed comfort, I slept quite well. It's a little too much to eat outside for every single meal when traveling with young children, so a condo with a fully-equipped kitchen is quite handy. If you are looking for a good and convenient beach for your kids for snorkeling and surfing( or take two hours of surfing lessons to get some basic ideas), it's only a four or five-minute drive from this condo. The beach is called Kahalu'u Bay. Getting the questions answered quickly, Dawn made me feel much more comfortable when I was traveling with my two boys all by myself. Finding a vacation home for a family stay can be stressful when safety, convenience, and cost are all top considerations. This property meets all the requirements of one's research. Yes, this property only has an air conditioner in the bedroom, and traveling to the Big Island in July can be hot. Yet, neither of my boys nor I complained during our stay. Lastly, for make a pleasant stay please follow all the property rules;especially, when its time to check-out.

We visit the BI often (3-4x/year) and always stay at this complex, Kona Makai. We have rented many different units through various property management companies. This one, by far is the best ever!!!
Dawn w/ Hawaiian Isle went above and beyond was splendid to work with and communication was awesome!
The unit was very clean and updated, abundantly stocked with all the essentials and included newer beach chairs, snorkel equip, pool toys, etc.
We will definitely be renting from Dawn again for our future visits. All the other property managements should take lessons from Hawaiian Isle and Dawn!
Simply the best!!!

The condo has a nice view of the water and is in a quiet part of town. It is well equipped and has everything you need for a day at the beach.

I would not consider this an ocean view. The “view” is of garden and being on ground floor, it is also obscured by the shrubs just beyond the railing. You look directly across the garden to the lanais of at 15+ Lanais which face you. Did not feel private if sliders snd shades were open, which need to be open to avoid stale air and running the noisy old air conditioner.
Parking was random, first come first served.
The traffic into Kona on Alii was often backed up past the entrance due to road construction which apparently has been going on for over a year.
Absolutely no sand, just rocky coastline which is the majority of the shoreline in the area.
Overall, the unit was clean and adequately stocked with essentials. It was moderately priced and suited for a short stay to explore/enjoy the area, not to enjoy from the inside of a condo.

Way exceeded expectations - short 3-day trip for work. Arrived to a really clean and WELL-Appointed place (had oil, rice, condiments, soaps and shampoo, great kitchen utensils, laundry soap, everything working (not sure about A/C - never used it.) So much better than having to buy small quantities of these items, could cook from the get-go. Place was quiet, great smoothie/breakfast place almost next door. Not a swimming beach there but could have accessed ocean easily for snorkeling/swim if wanted off rocks. Easy access and nice caretakers. Definitely returning for future trips. Thanks guys!!

Nice condo close to kona. Everything was as listed. Pool area was nice and clean. Owner supplied garbage bags, detergent, dishwasher tablets, and a nice starter kit. We stayed here for 2 weeks and would consider booking again if the cleaning improved. There are dustballs hanging from the ceiling in the bedroom and it appears the ceiling fans have never been dusted.

This was our first VRBO experience. We were nervous how it would work out. I am so pleased with the outcome. The condo is in a very nice community on the ocean. The amenities (pool, BBQs, and so on) were excellent (clean and well maintained).
We will rent this again.

Very nice area, to far for us to walk to town but we had a rental car. Mostly elderly people here. Very quite, wasn't any loud annoying guests. Pool area was large enough to accommodate the size of rentals.

Very comfortable condo in a great location so can easily walk to town. Right on the water so watched sunsets most nights with refreshments. Snorkelled with dolphins just offshore as seas were calm. Condo has all the bells and whistles to make you very comfortable. Would definitely return without hesitation.

We had a very enjoyable visit at KonaMakai. The unit was totally as expected and was fully equipped. The complex was well run and we enjoyed visiting with the residents as well as visitors from around the country. Loved the fact they actually had a complex get together on the 14th where we all brought something to share and Enjoyed getting to know each other. Will definitely be back here again.

The condo is exactly as shown in the pictures. It is very clean. The gardens are beautiful and the location is perfect: near to Kailua - Kona and very quiet.
We would definitely return again.

Everything was excellent, cleanness, location, logistics. One small cons - kitchenware need an upgrade. Pans were really not usable and we ended up using grill outside almost every evening for cooking.

very nice condo with great ocean views- garden area is beautiful- very quiet for adults but it seems kids are not welcomed- very limited fitness center

First holiday in 20 years. We had absolutely no problem with the bookings. The condo was as advertised. The two of us are a very active older couple. Nice quiet coffee before daylight on the lanai. A brisk walk, run, or swim after that then explore the rest of the day. We loved it and will be back.
Cheers

I spent 3 weeks by myself in this condo and enjoyed every minute of it. Dawn was very attentive and dealt with a small issue promptly. It was quiet and serene, beautiful pool and hot tub, great location. I hope to go back before too long.
