My husband and I loved this little condo! The location is fantastic, the view was amazing, loved the salt water pool, sitting in the sand watching the waves crashing on the rocks, the sunsets. The furniture and the bed were all very comfortable. It was handy having a washer/dryer in the unit. We will stay here again!

The location is awesome, walking is 1.5 miles from town, the condo has everything we needed, and a great welcome goodie bag with delicious coffee! The on-site office manager, Brian, was very friendly and helpful! The place is nice and quiet. There is a beautiful area to sit and BBQ if you like right at the water’s edge. The bed was comfortable but the best part was the balcony with the view of the ocean! We will definitely be back!

Me and my husband spent 10 days in Kona. Our condo had everything we needed, beach supplies, coffee maker, air conditioning, and more. Overall we loved everything about this condo. The patio also had an incredible view of the ocean! 4 stars given on cleanliness due to the fact that a lot of the dishes weren’t fully cleaned - but was not a problem at all!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Oddly, the older spring mattress was incredibly comfortable and I slept like a baby. The pool was fantastic and we loved watching sunset from the private beach. The inside was a bit dated but unless you’re planning on spending your Hawaii vacation inside then it shouldn’t be a bother. Great value for the money and the property management company was easy to work with and very responsive.

We stayed for just over a week in this wonderful suite at Kona Isle Condominium. It is well located and delightfully decorated with a small exception of one broken chair back. There was only two of us so we didn't even need that chair so it was not an issue for us. Knutson and Associates Property Management answered all of our questions in a timely manner and to our satisfaction. The onsite resident manager is one of the hardest working people I have ever seen and keeps the complex looking great. I recommend this location.

We stayed for two weeks and had a fantastic trip - the location is excellent for what we needed - it's not close to an oceanfront beach, but it is close to the water and has beautiful views. We wanted to be in Kona and close to food options - we didn't do much in the rental but try to recover from each day's adventures. The property was cute, clean, and functional, and it was easy to follow the guidelines. Looking forward to our return!

We've stayed at Kona Isles several times over the past 20 years. C 28 has a great lanai view of the ocean, the suite itself has all the amenities but lacks any upgrades and has a "tired" feel to it. We were a bit disappointed that an adequate supply of "BASICS" (for our 2 week stay) like toilet paper, paper towel, Laundry soap, hand soap, garbage bags and coffee filters were not supplied. Otherwise, the property has always remained well kept and cheerful as we had expected it to be. Having use of the neighbouring properties pool was very nice and we enjoyed using their facilities while the Kona Isles pool was under repairs. Mahalo Kona Isles!!

This condo was exactly as advertised and a great price for the area. The property was beautiful and the view was incredible from the lanai. My kids loved the pool and the beach area. It was a perfect base to explore Kona. The condo had everything we needed-chairs, umbrella, small cooler and even masks and and snorkels. The pull out couch was VERY comfortable and soft. The check in process was very easy with great communication. I highly recommend this condo for anyone looking to stay close to Kona.

This was our fifth stay at Kona Isle, but the first time in this unit. It could use some more plastic cups for use by the pool or down by the grills/beach, but that's a minor issue. It was great for towels, beach accessories, etc. The unit was just what we needed, with a great view from the lanai and generally quieter than other units we've rented. Would be happy to stay in this unit again.

The location of the condo was perfect. The view was better than the photo. Very clean. We had a couple of problems when we first arrived and the property manager fixed them as soon as they could. We appreciate the team for all they have done. We will use this property management again and we will cone back to this condo.

We really enjoyed our stay very much. The Place was bigger than expected and the kitchen very well equipped. The lanai offers great Ocean views. The Pool is awesome and very clean. Also the barbecue area Next to it is a wonderful place to hang out during Sunset. The views are breathtaking.
All in all, this is a great place in a great, calm neighborhood on one of the Most beautiful islands in the world.

This is a nice complex and the unit has a lovely ocean view from the lanai.Everything was comfortable, except for air conditioning. The wall mounted ac unit was noisy, so I did not use it. The air flow from windows was nice and I was comfortable overnight. Most afternoons were a little too warm for me, but the pool was refreshing.

Condo was well equipped with a wonderful balcony that provided a fantastic view of the ocean & sunset. Great seating area right at the ocean to enjoy relaxing, a BBQ or your first cup of coffee. Very quiet & located a bit far to walk to town, but so convenient to so many of the things we wanted to see and do. Would have liked a light over the kitchen table. The grounds are very well maintained!

This conveniently located condo covers all basic needs, and the beautiful amenities (pool, grills, chairs by the ocean) entertain the entire family.
Only 2 cons: the pullout mattress was off-putting and the TV was frustratingly complicated (there’s 1 full page of instructions).
We would definitely stay there again.

Pros: This property had a great location and environment. It was beautiful to see the water from the balcony and be able to watch the sunset every night at the little beach nearby. This property was also close to all of our excursions and the main area of Kona for dining. It was nice to know that there was a designated parking spot for the property so we didn’t have to wonder where we would park and conveniently, it was close to the building. I also liked how there was a washer/dryer. Cons: Our first day, we were greeted with a cockroach. There was some bug spray under the bathroom sink but ventilation wasn’t really great. There also was not AC in the bedroom. Additionally, someone came by before check out time to fix something and was able to open the door on his own - he was surprised there were people as he was told it was an “open day”. Lastly, I wondered about the cleanliness. The towels seemed to have makeup on them and the kitchen towel had a weird funk. I was just glad we had a washer and dryer.

The condo was perfect location and amenities. The condo itself was wonderful and well stocked. Not kid or family friendly though. We got talked to for having too much fun in the pool. I got the condo since it was central location to my family who lives on the island but we weren’t aloud to have them as guests so that took away from the experience. Great amenities but not being able to enjoy them with my family was disappointing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Kona. We were delighted to receive a bowl of fruit when we arrived. The property's view was even more beautiful than the picture. We had many meals on the lanai watching the birds and the beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed the amenities that we pursued. The condominium was clean inside and the property was well-managed by Brian. We saw him faithfully attending to the grounds. The manager provided good customer service when we approached them. We would definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative. In fact, we would enjoy coming back ourselves. The most enjoyable attractions for us were the beautiful sunsets, the lovely pool, the access to many very nice restaurants including Foster's Kitchen and Ohana Rey's, and being so centrally located for snorkeling, exploring the island, and finding a beautiful beach.

The sandy beach area on the property is our favorite spot to relax; on lounge chairs with shady umbrellas and palm trees, the Kona Isle's private beach is between an expansive green lawn and and the ocean crashing against lava rocks. The lovely, well-maintained pool is heated, the grounds well manicured, and we always enjoy the library on the premises. We have stayed in perhaps a half dozen different units in the Kona Isle; this one has one of the best locations on the property. The unit's owner and management company appear to be in the process of updating the unit as needed and were very responsive. Yes, we'd stay here again. Aloha!

I stayed here for a week and was working at the time. The WiFi is fast and reliable. The apartment came with utensils and towels everything we needed for a great trip. The o my thing that isn’t mentioned is the non refundable 45 damage fee you have to pay before your booking gets confirmed. That’s an extra cost we didn’t expect. Besides that the view was great and the area is perfect.

Loved having breakfast near the seashore, and the sunsets views in the evening.

We stayed here for a week in March. The location is great for exploring the Big Island, being on Ali’i Drive, 3 miles south of the southern edge of downtown Kona/Kailua. It’s convenient to highways to the north, south and Saddle Road to Hilo. It’s also a quick drive into town for dining and shopping. Right next door is a little convenience store. Kona Isle is a quiet, relaxing and very well maintained oceanfront condo complex. Most of the residents and visitors were over 55. The grounds were lush and filled with flowering tropical plants and palm trees. The pool was heated (tho’ a little cool) and sparkling clean. There is no beach but the complex is fronted by lava rock and the ocean. C-28 is a 1 bedroom, corner condo on the 2nd floor. The balcony faces a large grassy courtyard opposite other condos. There’s a clear view of the pool and the beautiful ocean beyond it from the balcony. We enjoyed hearing the crashing waves from both the living room and the bedroom. Although we didn’t cook, we appreciated that the kitchen was well furnished and that we could enjoy breakfast on the balcony. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was very convenient. The living room has a powerful air conditioner that cools the main rooms quickly. It didn’t cool the bedroom but the ceiling fan and windows there were helpful. The king size bed was very comfortable. The bathroom is a little small but nicely renovated. The bathroom and beach towels were nice and plentiful (and it was nice to have beach chairs and a small cooler to use). Everything was very clean when we arrived. The free WI-FI worked well as did the TV (although it was a little small by today’s standards). Having an assigned parking spot was great. Although some of the furnishings/window coverings were a bit worn and eventually needing replacement, we were comfortable and thought the condo was very reasonably priced.
