The property was beautiful, in a fantastic location in the heart of Kailua-Kona with access to amenities and the ocean right in front. We were treated to lovely sunsets from the balcony. Lisa is such a kind and welcoming host and made our stay memorable. She is also very responsive and communication was easy. The home is clean, neat, and fresh, and had all the necessities and more that came in handy on a trip to Hawaii. Thank you so much, and I hope to stay here again in the future!

This place was amazing! Location, location, location!!! We could walk to multiple restaurants and shops!!! The owner's recommendations were spot on! Having two separate bedrooms made it even more enjoyable at night! This place has everything you could want, and then some you didn’t even think about! It’s a hidden gem! The owners were lovely and very accommodating!

Lisa was one of the best hosts I’ve worked with over the years (on various platforms). She was responsive and provided helpful information throughout the process. Lisa communicated about the check in process, notified us about building maintenance and provided useful information about the area. The unit was clean, spacious & well-stocked. Usually, we stop at the rental to see what we need from the store. This visit, we needed only to pick up fresh produce & proteins because the condo had spices, cooking oils, utensils, and storage containers. The beds were very comfortable. There were 2.5 bathrooms, including a washer/dryer in the hall bath on the main floor. Loved this since we had a week on another island afterwards and it allowed us to start with clean clothes again. We were worried that the main floor bedroom didn’t have a/c, but there was a fan (?) over the door that directed cool air into the room. We had no issues with overheating during our stay. The main floor lanai was huge and had plenty of space to relax as well as to eat meals while watching the sunset. The upstairs lanai was perfect to watch the sunrise over the mountain each morning. We had 2 people working remotely for a week. Neither of us had any issues with the internet. My son worked at the desk in the living room. There was even a monitor there that he used. I worked upstairs & used the TV as my second monitor. Out of characters, but we loved our stay & hope to return again soon. Thank you, Lisa!

We stayed for 10 days over the Ironman. I've used VRBO for many vacations and Lisa was the best host I've encountered on the platform! Extremely responsive to communication, was willing to go out of her way to allow us to ship something to her home that she delivered to the condo, and traded parking spots as the spot she gave us was slightly easier to get into and out of with a large SUV. The condo is excellent. It is fully stocked with everything you could want or need during your stay. The views are great, the sundeck (upper Lanai) was relaxing, and it was perfectly located off Ali'i. Convenient walking to tons of stores, restaurants and nightlife. The 2 king beds and the queen murphy bed were all very comfortable, and not-pictured, the upstairs was renovated to have a full 3rd bath. We're putting this one on our list for a return trip!

We recently stayed at this condo and we really enjoyed our visit to the big island. The place is well-stocked, is centrally located and was a few minutes walk to some nice restaurants & shops. It is about a 15-minute drive from the KOA airport. Lisa was very responsive to any concerns we had. We will definitely stay here again.

This vacation spot is very centrally located in Kailua. Excellent communication from the owners for everything there. The place is ideal to get to restaurants, the pier, groceries, etc. Spotlessly clean, modern appliances, lots of ocean gear available, beautiful view of sunsets from the balcony. Beautiful pool on location. Can’t say enough good things.

We had an amazing 10 day visit at Kona Alii. The location can’t be beat for enjoying all the fun on Alii Drive. The kitchen was fully stocked and we had everything we needed for beaching and enjoying the lovely pool. We had excellent communication with the manager who responded in a very timely manner.

Everything was perfect! This place was just as stated. It was clean and had everything needed for cooking and a verycomfortable stay. It is located just a short walk away from all sorts of shopping. Lisa was very easy to get in touch with and very communicative. We would stay there again and would highly recommend!😊

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The unit is very clean and modern. We have stayed in this building many times and this was our favorite unit yet! The owners showed excellent communication, and made us feel very welcome. We definitely will be looking at this unit again for upcoming return trips.

I loved the location of this condo. You are minutes from restaurants and shops. It had plenty of room for me, my husband, and our two adult children. Lisa had everything I needed in the condo. We cooked several times throughout our stay.

The listing was exactly as described and as other reviewers have said the unit it very nicely appointed with all of the things you need to enjoy your home away from home and then some! This condo was possibly the best stocked one I’ve ever stayed in, in terms of kitchen supplies, toiletries etc. The beds were super comfortable and the AC’s actually worked (which can be hard to find in rental condos in HI) The space is thoughtfully laid out so that even tho we had 5 adults and a two year old it never felt over crowded or cramped. Communication with the owner was pleasant and efficient, we would definitely use the space again when coming back to Kona with the family!

This is the second time we stayed in this unit, and both times have been perfect. The unit was impeccably prepared for our stay: very clean, a welcome basket, well stocked of the necessities, combined with a perfect location. The location was right on Ali'i Drive so it was easy walking to 15+ restaurants and numerous shops. While this unit is on Ali'i Drive it is on the backside of the building. It still had great views but it was away from the traffic noise and the intensity of the afternoon sun. On top of that, the communication with the owners was excellent and they were willing to go the extra mile to make our stay as pleasurable as possible. On our next visit I have already told the owners that this unit will be our number one choice of where to stay. So, if you want a perfect stay on the Big Island, this is it!!

The place is clean and up to date. They provided water, Towels, beach necessities. I love staying at the Kona Alii Condos.

Extremely clean & comfortable environment, beds you can actually get a great night sleep in, and coffee on the lanai listening to the ocean was my favorite!! Close to everything on Ali’i Dr or Trolley across the street if you want to go some of the local beaches, Target or Walmart.

This property is very well maintained and equipped for all your needs. The property manager provides a lot of helpful information. The location is great for visiting Kona as you can walk to numerous good restaurants and attractions. You are centrally located for visiting all of the Kona coast as well as Volcanoes NP.

First of all, this location is amazing! Walking distance to several beaches, restaurants and most importantly shave ice. The condo was stocked with everything we needed. Seriously, there wasn’t a single time I went to look for something that I didn’t find it! Sand toys for my kids, huge beach towels, beach bag, blow dryer, fans for the rooms, pool noodles, you name it, they have it. The cupboards were stocked with all the essentials and the cooking necessities were all there. Plus all the furniture was so comfortable. Even the pull out Murphy bed! Lisa was a wonderful host, her directions were fantastic and very clear- not to mention thorough. We had no issues whatsoever. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here with another couple and the condo was exactly what we needed. It was very well stocked, had a beautiful lanai and is located in a great spot. We walked town most nights. Plenty of dining choices within blocks and you can easily walk town end-to-end. I highly recommend this condo!
