We overall loved this property, it included lots of extras like boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach chairs etc. It was clean and nice. The cons - the air conditioning didnt work very well and didnt cool off the whole place. Also the bed wasnt the most comfortable. But we would book again.

The rental was great, so close to the ocean, restaurants. The rooms were clean and fully equipped. The toys on the lanai certainly came I. Handy espically the beach wagon. The only issue we had was at the airport. Our flight came in around 11pm, and there was absolutely no service available to our unit. No cabs, no Uber,nothing. Thank goodness a service person from the airport offered to drive us. Kona needs to improve that service for tourists.

Condo had everything you would want for a perfect staycation; comfortable king bed, wonderful a/c and perfect location!
Good communication w/Property Mgt.
There was some maintenance ongoing in parking garage during our stay, but still ample stalls available.
The complex residents were so friendly and helpful too! Hope to stay here again!

This was such a cute and cozy condo. I loved how it was so close to everything! You literally walk a block and you’re at the center of everything, restaurants, shopping, ocean. You can tell that the owners put a lot of effort into remodeling and maki g it look more modern, even considering that the building itself is somewhat old & outdated. If we ever return to the Big Island, I would definitely consider renting this place again!

The apartment is clean, spacious, comfortable. It is exceptionally well positioned in central Kailua village.
However, I didn’t like the process by which a signed contract was required after the booking had been made and a non-refundable deposit paid. As a regular user of another homestay app I have never been required to sign a contract separate from their standard terms and conditions.
The booking process on Stayz did not flag that a contract would be required, and especially not one to be signed in 16 different spots and which had internal inconsistencies. Issuing a contract after taking a non-refundable deposit is a high pressure tactic and probably not an enforceable arrangement, but who wants to argue when put it in that situation?

Amazing place with EVERYTHING you could ask for in Hawaiian rental. We were welcomed by a complementary waters, juices, and a very generous gift basket with toiletries and snacks! The place was clean and very inviting. The kitchen while small had everything you could possibly need (including ice trays and a PUR water filter. The lanai was huge and very comfy with enough seats to comfortably sit about 8 people! The beach gear (seats, beach wagon, cooler, boogie boards, paddle boards, snorkel gear, towels, etc.) was in great shape and greatly appreciated. The location is great in the heart of Ali'i Drive. The booking progress was a little intimidating with forms to fill out (mostly providing details about the rules of the complex) but that should not draw you away from this great place.

This property is in a great location in the heart of Kona with walking distance to many shops, restaurants, and the water. This place has parking which is a plus for a car rental. I would definitely stay at this property again.

The apartment was very clean, very well equipped, including beach and snorkeling gear, right in the middle of the city, private parking, and with a nice “welcome package” of little snacks, coffee, etc. The management company is useless other than generating pages of frightening contracts to sign, but trying to contact them for assistance after 4pm on Friday, forget it. Fortunately, there are some very nice and helpful residents.

Beautiful and updated condo, conveniently located in the heart of downtown Kona. The beach toys available were over my expectations, and very enjoyable.Although the no contact check in is easy, the code to the lock box for initial key entry into the condo can only be used once. I would recommend the code for the lock box stay programmed throughout the stay in case the condo keys get locked inside the unit.I stay at the Kona Plaza every time time I visit the Big Island, and every time a parking placard is not available. I would recommend that this be on a check list and confirmed in the condo before the next visitors.

We stayed for five nights at this condo/apartment in Kona Plaza. The underground parking garage was great to keep the car cool for our daily outings. Upon entering the condo, we were greeted with a little gift basket with some snacks and toiletries. Everything seemed clean and brightly lit. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances (coffee machine, toaster, microwave, etc) and basic utensils. Washer & dryer worked great and very useful. The lanai was well stocked with beach ready equipment (wagon, boogie boards, chairs, sand toys... and even SUPs) plus patio furniture was comfortable, especially the hammock!The management communicated and responded quickly by text. We were even allowed to check-in a bit early.Overall, we had a comfortable stay. The location is very convenient to walk to many shops and restaurants (ABC stores, multiple shave ice shops, Kona Farmer Market, etc).

My condo had everything we needed. We felt like we were at home. They provided everything we needed for our week stay. Alot of extras on the back porch for the beach so we didnt need to pay to rent anything. Very nice, clean, and we would love to come back.

The condo was beautiful and very clean. The beach chairs, umbrellas, and other beach items was very useful. The location is in the middle of town with easy access to nearby restaurants, stores, and beach.
Thank you. We enjoyed our stay!

Property was exactly how it was pictured. Nicely appointed. It’s a very old complex and the owners did an ok job fixing it up. Bed slept really good. Wi-Fi is included plus cable tv, Netflix, HBO Max and Disney + , which was nice. It’s fine for what we paid. It is walking distance to all the Ali’i Drive restaurants. My biggest complaint was the check in procedure. We were given the wrong door code (changed that day). I called Knutson Management company and after several calls, I was taken care of a very rude, condescending young man, that got woken up around 10:00 ish and was obvious after all the yawning and asking me if I’d ever used a door code. You punch the correct numbers in, period. Anyway, we got the correct code. Knutson did refund us the first night stay.

Had an amazing stay in this central Kona condo. Walking distance to restaurants, beaches, and shopping. Place was spotless on arrival and well set up to prepare food/ meals. Patio was a great sunny place to relax. Underground parking was a plus and loved all the beach gear provided. Pool was great for cooling off after a long day at the beach. Would not hesitate to recommend this condo to others!

The condo was in great shape except for the kitchen. The kitchen was a little small & enclosed.
The kitchen had everything you need to cook a meal . The condo was a block away from all the shops, restaurants and the ocean. Also a good size lanai.

First family trip to Kona, and this condo helped make it an amazing trip! The location is hard to beat...we have a 3-yo and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted (shops, restaurants, beaches). The condo is updated and was very, very clean and well stocked with everything you need for an unforgettable day at the beach (towels, snorkeling gear, toys, wagon, and more!). The complex has an amazing deck for a BBQ and ocean views, and a cute little pool. Communication and customer service with the property management company was great! There is also secured parking, elevators and A/C...all of which are great conveniences to have in Hawaii. We will be back for sure!!!

This was an amazing location and a very comfortable place to stay. The Bed was very relaxing and the large patio was great for us to eat and hang out in the evenings. The home looked to be recently updated from the pictures and when we arrived it was exactly like the pictures! We walked up and down the Kona strip and the parking garage was very easy to access to get in and out of for our adventures. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

I travel often enough, and experienced many a vacation rentals. What an amazing experience and location! Basically, I didn't want to drive too much but wanted to be close enough to Alii Dr that I could walk to it. The location was about halfway point - which was perfect for going to the few beaches on Alii Dr, or heading out for a nightcap in the evenings.Altho I was by myself this trip, the place itself was great for me, but would have still worked if my husband and 7 y.o. came with me. The rental included beach and laundry items, and cleaning supplies, which turned out too be quite useful.I would HIGHLY recommend this location to anyone. It was clean and well organized (this coming from someone with "OCD's"). My next trip to Kona, I will be checking on this location first for sure!!
