We love vacationing in Kona and often stay in a nearby condo. (It was unavailable when we booked this trip and we feel fortunate to have found it.) KJ’s Place rises to our top choice because of the spaciousness, stylish furnishings, wonderful double shower, sense of security and beautiful views. The apartment is fully staged with kitchen utensils, dishes and a big bonus: beach gear - from a full size surf board down to reef-friendly sunscreen.It was easy to keep the place clean with a simple effective vacuum and having an in apartment washer/dryer allowed for lighter packing of clothing. We had absolutely no problems with this unit. Communication with the owner was smooth and pleasant! 5+ stars in every way!! We hope to return to KJ’s Place for our next trip to Kona.

We enjoyed staying here and loved the location. Really appreciated the host’s suggestions on the places to visit that were detailed in the green binder. The bed was comfortable the rain shower was great. The beach chairs and umbrella served us well. Thanks for having peroxide so I could address my knee from being tossed around by the ocean and scraping it up on lava rocks. Magic Sands Beach kicked my butt!!! Great memories for our third trip to the Big Island and was grateful to come “home” to KJ’s Place. Mahalo!

My husband, daughter and I had a fantastic stay! Many things are within walking distance and the covered parking is nice! The pool was great and the place was well stocked with beach items. The washer/dryer was great!

We had the best time in Kona and it was made so much better because of the beautiful condo we stayed in! It has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. Perfect location, comfortable bed, huge shower, washer dryer. Would def stay again! Thank you so much!

Lovely property, very clean and comfortable and perfectly located - just steps away from shops and restaurants in downtown Kona. Terrific communication from the host meant we had zero questions or issues when we arrived.
Loved having allocated covered parking too, we will definitely stay here again!

Clean, nicely decorated property...better in person than displayed in the pictures.
Loved the "rain" shower head, thought with two bathrooms there would be no waiting, but we both found ourselves preferring the walk in shower!! 😊
Convenient to just about everything. Looking forward to staying there again!

My husband, daughter and I had a fantastic stay! We had a great view of the pool as well as a little slice of the ocean. Everything in the Kona area we wanted to do was within walking distance. The kitchen was well stocked as well as the cost closet full of beach items. This place was everything we needed and more. We can not wait to come back!

Wonderful and quite location, with easy walking all over Ali'i Drive.
Plenty of watersport gear (although we didnt use them). Beautiful kitchen, although suggest a countertop toaster oven.

We had a great stay here. The description and pictures are accurate. The place was clean and in a very central location. They had a great array of beach accessories for use that are such a plus for anyone!
The only cons were things out of the owner's control. -It was hard to take advantage of the restaurants and shops nearby because of the huge crowds in Kona for Ironman. Also, the traffic because of this made it difficult and long getting to and from other places. I would recommend checking for events such as this, as we did not (so the fault was ours).
We could still walk to the Farmers Market to get fresh produce and I would recommend taking advantage of that!
The air conditioner in the bedroom is really efficient. The pool was never crowded. The balcony was a lovely place to have coffee in the morning and relax in the evening. Overall, this place is worth staying at.

Walk to all points of interest in downtown Kailua-Kona. Quiet building in the heart of town.

My wife and I go to Hawaii frequently and stay in condos accumulatively over 100 nights. We go once or twice a year. Trust us when we say KJ’s place is a cut above. The furnishings and fixtures are very high level and the apartment has a very luxurious feel to it. It feels like someone’s second home rather than just a rental condo. It is quite a find, especially for the price. We would definitely stay there again and probably will. Location was fantastic. It was easy to walk the downtown area but it still felt a bit secluded. With the veranda doors open you can hear the ocean and sea part of a beach as well. It was easy to keep the place at a comfortable temperature. And the covered parking was super nice. I thought the owner/manager was extremely responsive to questions. The service was excellent.

The property is as pictured and in a great location for walking around town to shops and restaurants. Its clean and nicely decorated. The drawbacks were that the key wasn't in the lockbox when we arrived at 3:30 and we waited 45 min. for housekeeper to come down. Also, the air conditioning didn't work after first night. Owner seemed friendly online.

Wonderful helpful owner, home away from home, view overlooking pool and peek of the ocean, sun deck located on top floor for lovely dinners by sunset, walking distance to everything from the local pier to the best dinners and gelato on the island....just, wow! Joy was amazing in all ways making the visit seamless and enjoyable. All the necessary toys and accouterments one could ever desire in a vacation home. Thanks, Joy, and see you next year!

This condo has it all! Probably the most comfortable, well equipped condo I have ever stayed in. A peek-a-boo view of the ocean in a very quiet part of the building. The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of the Kona restaurant and shopping areas. Joy was such a pleasure to do business with, VERY responsive and helpful!
