I have stayed in this building before, a different condo, and I can say this one was a great surprise, it was large and had an open concept living / kitchen area. The patio is huge and wraps around so you can also see the mountains. The furniture / beds / sofa / patio set were all very nice, as was the washer / dryer and bathrooms. The patio is a bit noisy, but that is what you trade off for being right in the middle of town and can walk everywhere. Loved the place and will definitely be back!

First of all, the "ocean view" is a joke. The picture they show on the listing is about 5% of the view that is actually of A/C units on the building in front & tarps on the roof on the dilapidated building across the street. I wish I could upload the real photo. The only table & chairs are outside on the lanai, but you are not able to use it past 9pm unless you sit in silence. Apparently, the daily leaf blowers before 8am, the truck emptying the dumpster almost daily at 3am, the noise from the restaurant next door early in the morning, the constant motorcycles with loud pipes driving not only on the main street but the side street right next to the bedroom and the car alarm sounding for 10 minutes at 7am doesn't bother the HOA but us outside after 9 does. The rental co was very nice and easy to deal with, but I will not stay there again bc of the HOA. We have stayed at many places in multiple states and have never had any issues or noise complaints before, but this property must be next to an HOA officer since they camped out by our walkway one night as an intimidation tactic when got back from dinner. Neither bathroom is attached to a bedroom. 2 beach chairs, umbrella, towels & cooler were provided. The beds were OK, the A/C was great and the kitchen was stocked but do yourself a favor and rent a unit on the side next to the church. We had family staying there and it was super peaceful. The location is convenient, but don't stay on the front side facing the street.

We have stayed at other nice properties in this building during prior visits to the Big Island, but will now ALWAYS book this specific unit! Spacious and beautifully decorated, with EVERY possible amenity thoughtfully provided - from sunscreen lotions, snorkle masks and coolers, to a generous supply of bath and beach towels, dish and clothes washer soaps, and a kitchen very well stocked with cooking supplies. Newer appliances all in great condition. The air conditioning was so comfortable to come "home" too after warm days in the sun. We could tell the cleaning crew used is top-notch - we didn't even feel a spec of sand beneath our feet when walking barefoot across the cool tiled floors (and we also cared well for the property and avoided tracking sand into the unit), and all counters and surfaces free of any grime. Comfortable beds, lots of storage space, great living room layout for socializing. And the deck-balcony - whoa! HUGE, wrap around with access from both the living room and the master bedroom. We enjoyed meals outside on the covered balcony (shelter from the sun and occasional shower), watching the passerbuys on the quaint shopping street and a bonus was the nice view of the water as well. Overall, the best stay we have had on our travels to the Islands! Thank you!

The area needs updating… some paint would do wonders. Almost every retail outlet needs workers. Still it was awesome!

We loved staying here. Every thing was short walking distance in town. Outside of town 90 minutes got you to everything you want to see from green beach to very top of Mauna Kea. Plan on returning next year and other than a few days in Hilo hope to return to this condo!

The location is good for access to shops, etc. on Ali’i Drive but a bit overpriced for what you get. For example, there are several fancy hotels nearby that have a daily rate per person for less and with more amenities as long as you don’t want to cook.

Great place to stay for walkability and ample parking. Nice that they had coffee for a few days and all the comforts of home! I would definitely stay here again!

Great location . You could walk to Kailua bay, restaurants a plenty and tons of shopping. Condo had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We used the beach chairs and umbrella. Lanai was a great place to sit and relax and people watch. Totally enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our time. Location was great, would absolutely consider this property for a future vacation. Loved seeing the sunset from the very spacious Lanai.

We ended up staying at another property, because of a problem with the AC at Kona Plaza. Response was quick, professional and friendly when we called the emergency line to report this. Fortunately there were options for staying at another property within the the Elite Pacific group and we were able to check into the alternate property within an hour. Second property was beautiful.

This condo is clean and well equipped, with many supplies such as soap, laundry detergents provided. It also has a partial view of the ocean from the living room, kitchen or balcony. Also centrally located, it’s a short walk to the beach and many shops and restaurants.

Kitchen was very well equipped. Cleanliness was good except for the one bathroom. It drained very poorly and there was soap scum that we had to clean before using the shower in the bathtub bathroom. Owners did good job equipping outside items as well. Hallway was dark so we had to use phones to get enough light to enter key code.

My family and I were very happy with our stay here. It was within walking distance to many shops, restaurants, and beaches! The property manager was easy to communicate with. We highly recommend and we’ll be looking forward to booking other properties with them!

This place is just what we needed for the Hilo side of the island. A couple restaurants within walking distance and a short drive to Volcanoes National Park. The place was very clean and had a wonderful view. As others have mentioned the numbers on the stove have worn off but otherwise a very nice place. Felt safe, well lit, and experienced no issues during our stay.

The condo we stayed in was clean and comfortable. It was well equipped with everything that we needed. The bbq area was nice to have. We used it a few times. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and the ocean.

Take extreme caution with the sliding door out of the living room. It has a warning that you could get locked out if closed hard...we did, with no phones. Thankful for the neighbor...she saved us!



June 2022
Right in the heart of Kona. Great location for two couples to split off on their own and also hang out on the lanai to watch the swimmers in the Kona bay each morning or walk over and snorkel. The property is nicely appointed with everything we needed in the kitchen (even a blender) plus snorkel gear, beach stuff and a cooler for a beach day. Property manager was awesome too. We had a great week.

Had a few minor problems at condo that need to be addressed. Made a list and left on counter. Will email in separate note.

This 2 bed/2 bath condo on a lower floor is a stone’s throw to the shops and restaurants of Kailua-Kona. There are glimpses of an ocean view from the living area. It’s well appointed and comfortable. The big downside is that a compressor on the roof of a neighboring building is very loud. Conversations on the lanai are difficult. Sleeping without earplugs in the larger bedroom is impossible. The clothes dryer was not working properly. Elite provided us with contact numbers that were not attended. We had instructions to first go to the condo office. Nobody was there. But all necessary keys and passes had been left for us in the condo. Why not just tell us that?

Great location but the floors were dirty & it smelled musty. Loved the balcony & how the patio doors opened up.

Amazing location in the heart of Kona. Lanai overlooks Alii and Pancho and Lefty’s. Easy to get anywhere in Kona by foot. 2 nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Solid pullout couch for bed 3. Recommended!

This place was just as advertised and more. It is close to everything in Kona. You can walk to a beach, lots of restaurants and shops, and snorkeling spots. The condo is very comfortable and well appointed. We spent hours on the patio watching the ocean. The reservation process was smooth and service from the management company was very professional and responsive .
