Enjoyed our stay! The condo was lovely and had everything we needed to make our meals which we ate on the lanai. The bed was comfortable. We appreciated using the beach chairs and beach towels! We left the lanai slider open and our bedroom window open for a nice island breeze at night! So many things within walking distance but we did rent a car and explored almost the whole island! Hilo is an easy day trip. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay and loved the view from the lanai - our favorite place! The waves, people watching, shops and restaurants within walking distance made it perfect! Unit was clean, very comfortable and quiet. Had everything we needed and more - nice surprise! Great not to have to eat all meals in a restaurant. Location had easy access to sightseeing and all activities in the area.
Our rating for this Unit is 4.8.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Within easy walking distance to most Kona restaurants, nightlife, and the ABC Store for supplies. As mentioned, this unit does not have a/c. Depending on time of year if you are used to a/c that might be an issue for you to think on. The trade winds don't always blow into the unit. I found it to be very quiet at night. Any reviews that mention a lot of street noise I think must have been before 10pm. You're up pretty high and the balcony faces the street, but the bedroom is interior to the complex, so very quiet. I would definitely stay here again. Management was very proactive on checking in and making sure everything was going as expected.

This rental was a true gem. Ocean view was beautiful and evenings on the balcony always had a spectacular sunset. The unit was clean, bedroom was a nice size with comfy bed. The extra beach towels was a nice commodity. As others have stated, there is no AC, but the breeze with the glass doors open and having all fans on was fairly comfortable. Owner was also very friendly, attentive and helpful. One thing that was misleading (but not a problem) is that the condo is NOT the green one in the picture. This is a picture from the balcony. It is a lovely walk to all the restaurants and shops in town, so we did not have to worry about parking.

The condo location was really great, walking distance to restaurants and shops. However the condo is very run down. The couch and chairs were all ripped up and very dirty. The carpet is falling apart and dirty. The kitchen wasn’t cleaned and several of the small appliances don’t work. Luckily I had friends staying in the building and there units were very nice(they paid the same as me). I would not recommend this condo.very disappointed indeed.

Property is in a great location. We have stayed there before. The condo needs some updating. I'd like to bring a few specific items to Property Management if they want to reach out

Unit was just as stated. The view made it totally worth no air conditioning. Hearing the ocean all night was just what we wanted. You can walk everywhere and there is plenty of amazing restaurants near by. If you love to bar hop and spend time with the locals go to Quinn’s! We will be back soon!!

My husband & I had a great time in this condo. The kitchen was REALLY well stocked which is always a plus. We loved having 2 bathrooms & a washer/dryer. The view is beautiful & everything is close by plus having a designated parking spot is REALLY important to us. The only drawback is that there is no AC but there are plenty of fans & you have huge windows that open onto the ocean. It’s very nice.

Great place. Absolutely perfect location with a wonderful view of the bay. The unit is a little dated and it gets warm during the day without a/c, but it cools down at night with the fans provided and the breeze off the ocean. Would definitely stay here again!

Older unit, but very comfortable. No A/C, but opening the doors for the ocean breeze was perfect. Would absolutely rent again in the future!

If you want a great view, the constant sound of crashing waves and shops and restaurants within walking distance, this may be the place for you. Unfortunately, along with being in town comes traffic noise and the homeless element. And this is an older unit that seems a bit ignored by the owners. It would behoove them to fix a few things as well as minimize and update the decor. There is also a not-so-inviting odor that permeates the condo. Half burnt candles are in every room to deal with this unpleasant fact. On the bright side, the king bed was comfortable, there were plenty of fans (no A/C), and the kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cooking staples. The wifi is good now that a new modem was installed (just before we checked out, sorry to say since we had work needing to be done on our laptops). There is snorkel equipment and some games available, which we enjoyed using, and we added a puzzle we bought to work on while listening to the ocean (highly recommend). Three appliances we really appreciated (besides the plethora of fans) were the blender, washer/dryer and ice maker. Bottom line: unless the place is updated and some things are fixed we won’t rent here again.

The view from our lanai was wonderful and the location was great! The condo is quite spacious, with a lovely island decor. There is a nice pool and BBQ area. We were very comfortable here. The condo could use some updates. It had a musty smell when we first arrived and the bedroom curtains and window screen were really dusty and dirty. We used a vacuum to clean them off, opened the bedroom window and lanai door, turned on the fans (which are numerous) and the musty smell eventually went away. All that aside, it was a nice place to stay and we enjoyed our time there!

We enjoyed being able to walk to all the restaurants and shops. Great patio for sitting and watching the dolphin’s, boats, swimmers, paddle boarders and fish jumping. Easy access to the highway to see the rest of the island. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful oceanfront 6th floor condo. The location to downtown Kona and views were spectacular.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kona Ali’i apartments! Location couldn’t have been any better and the apartment was great, everything you needed was present and the views were worth every penny!

We were so surprised by the beautiful view! The room was clean and super close to shopping and beaches. Definitely will be staying there again.

This was the perfect location to serve as a base for our vacation. You would be hard-pressed to find a better view. Conveniently located to amazing restaurants, shopping, beaches, the pier, you name it. The only (minor) drawbacks are no air conditioning and the furnishings are dated. Who cares!? Plenty of fans make the place comfortable, and we were so busy admiring the view and watching the dolphins spin that we couldn't care less about the furnishings. They were very comfortable, and we had everything we needed to cook our own meals if we wanted to, a washer and dryer was super convenient to have, and there were even things for the beach so we didn't have to rent boogie boards, chairs, or towels. If humanly possible, we will return and stay in the exact same condo!

The location of this property right next to the ocean is amazing. This is a 5th floor corner unit with a large balcony that offers 270 degree views of the ocean. Large sliding doors let the sound of the crashing waves lull you to sleep. Restaurants and bars are at your doorstep and a designated covered parking is included.
While a car is necessary, there is a easy to use and economical bike share station within a block that lets you go within a 5 mile stretch along the coast. Farmers market is a block away.
The decor is dated island vacay but is functional and clean; least of your concern when you are in paradise. Kitchen is fully functional with all cookware necessary to whip up a pan-seared ahi. Would stay again 100%
