We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was nice and clean and had extra amenities like beach chairs. We really appreciated the AC units. The property was well maintained and pleasantly quiet. It’s is right next door to a saltwater pool, which was nice. I’d stay here again, for sure.

It was really nice to have an AC and big TVs in both the living room and bedroom. The queen bed was very comfortable. The bathroom towels and wash rags were very nice. It was great that they provided beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella, and other stuff. The lanai has a very nice view of the ocean. The condo has ceiling fans in the living room, bedroom, and bathroom. The condo was very clean! We would stay here again.

Really lovely rental property, right on the Ocean. Grounds were immaculate and well kept. The sound of waves and the scent of plumeria, fabulous sunsets. Absolute heaven. The management company were very attentive and accommodatung. The condo I stayed in had a tropical vibe and was comfortable with amazing views from the Lanai.

I have mixed feelings after our stay here. We enjoyed our stay overall but we probably wouldn’t stay here again.
The good:
- The view from the lanai is wonderful.
- Nice common areas. The grounds are beautiful and well cared for. The sandy area by the ocean was our favorite
- Good location. Walkable to town if you don’t mind a longer walk.
- The AC works well; with two units the bedroom stayed cool for sleeping.
- Assigned parking.
- Beach towels, chairs, and an umbrella provided.
- Management was very responsive whenever we had an issue.
The not so good:
- The biggest issue was the bugs in the kitchen. While I know bugs are common in Hawaii, this was the first time in any Hawaii rental unit that we’ve ever had an issue. Management did their best to respond but it unfortunately will probably take time to address. We kept all our food sealed and took out trash daily but still had significantly more bugs than we’ve ever had in a Hawaii rental.
- The unit could use a good deep clean. Management sent a cleaning crew back out at our request, but the whole unit really needs to be thoroughly dusted (things like doors and decor), insides of cabinets wiped down, and all the kitchen items gone through to ensure they are actually clean.
- Linens (especially the sheets) are worn out and need to be replaced.
- The kitchen has no consumables - only salt and pepper. No oil of any kind, no spices, no foil (we left some behind).

This condo is probably the best one in the complex (other than the direct waterfront buildings). It is situated on the corner with great views of ocean making it better than the other ones in either building B or C because you dont have to directly look across at the other units. The condo might have the best kitchen amenities of any condo we have stayed at in Kona. Well thought out for the vacationer with all the beach amenities you would need!

Kona Isle was even better than described. I loved the grounds - lots of green space, on the ocean and great outdoor amenities. The condo was very well-appointed. You could hear the ocean from every room. Condo was welcoming and comfortable. I would highly recommend. Looking forward to my next stay!

Our stay at Kona Isle was everything we were expecting and more! Having a great sunset view is a must when visiting the islands and this unit did not disappoint. The condo has authentic Hawaiian charm and I wouldn’t hesitate to book here again. Mahalo Kona Isle !!

One of the best Condos we have ever stayed in Hawaii, well appointed, organized and clean, fantastic view.
Kona Isle itself has very nice pool area, sand and BBQ areas, this condo will not disappoint.

this condo was exceptional for a couple.of reasons. 1) the picture portraying the view from the condo was accurate. 2) i dont really evaluate decor but again this condo was exceptional. i started looking at many of the items on the walls and decided they werent tacky but very interesting. even some table placemats were super cool. they were very hawaiian and has a wood center and a woven exterior. my goal is to figure out where i can purchase some. 3) this condo was well stocked. they even had beach chairs and a cooler in a closet. plus i found a guidebook for hawaii this morning. i wish i had seen this sooner.

It was amazing. I had a few questions why we were staying there and I emailed them and they got back to me super quick. They were super good at communicating with us as well. It was way clean inside and lots of kitchen things to use so you can make cheaper meals at home. I would definitely recommend staying here. One of the things we enjoyed about it was how close we were to the ocean. We also enjoyed how close it was to downtown Kona. Really easy to get places from this VRBO. I will say though my favorite thing was the view, it was so amazing.

We had the most wonderful vacation and our stay in Kona Isle C38 was fabulous. We loved having our coffee and wine on the lanai every morning and evening. The view is spectacular! Right now I’m watching an 8 man canoe paddle by as the full moon is setting. Wow! The condo looked like it was freshly updated and true to the pictures. It was sparkly clean and the washer/dryer was handy. The bed was a little uncomfortable and we kept rolling to the middle, lol, but other than that we loved everything about the condo, the pool, the beach and the grounds. We will definitely stay here again. Aloha!🌺

The condo was very clean, and decorated nicely. The kitchen was beautiful, and had pots and pans and all the dishes we needed. Having a washer/dryer in unit was an absolute life saver with how much swimming we did. The AC worked great and we loved that we could keep the bedroom at a different temperature than the rest of the living space since the kids like it warmer than we do. The lanai was cute, and so close to the ocean (feels closer than it looks in the pictures). Nice little private beach area with some chairs, great spot to watch the sunset. The only thing we didn’t love was that the bedroom and bathroom door were both slatted instead of solid so there was absolutely no noise privacy. You could hear every sounds from all areas of the condo. Wouldn’t likely be an issue for a couple, but for a family of four, it was not ideal, and something I wish I’d known before booking. Overall we had a wonderful stay.

Kona Isle is a nice and quiet complex on Ali'i Drive about a mile from downtown Kailua-Kona. The condo was as described and was clean throughout upon our arrival. It's tastefully decorated, lanai has a fridge, and an efficient AC is a big plus (for the summer.) Kitchen had all cooking items needed that were in great shape (no peeling nonstick pans here) and all the plates, utensils, silverware, glasses and cups galore. The private oceanfront bbq area was great for cooking and picnics, especially while watching the beautiful Big Island sunsets. The condo property was clean and well maintained. I always saw the resident manager up and about very early in the morning taking care of things around the complex. Be aware that quiet hours are from 10:00 pm to 8:00 am. There are also full time residents that live at the complex as well and they value that quiet. Besides, you get to listen to the ocean waves breaking on the shoreline rocks below. We felt the condo size was perfect for two adults though it's listed for four. Knutson and Associates is an excellent company to work with on the rental. They are timely in their correspondence (via email and text.) We would use them again in the future.

We spent 3 weeks here and loved everything about Kona Isle! The property is beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed the pool, the BBQs, and the oceanside chairs with umbrellas! It was great to go down to the ocean and watch the sunset with other visitors. Our living space was perfect. It was very clean and well furnished with pretty Hawaiian decor throughout. We loved this place and know that we WILL return!

Kona Isle was a great location convenient to shopping, restaurants, and easy access to other parts of the island. The ocean view and sound was fantastic to enjoy morning coffee and evening sunset. We saw the green flash on our last day! We would stay here again!

Kona Isle C38 is everything you want in a short term island rental. Really, the pictures and description do not give this place its due. Yes, most agents say the same things about all of their properties, but this spot hits the spot. The unit is well appointed and tastefully decorated. One very nice feature is dual air conditioners for the living area and bedroom that actually work! The patio provides a nice view of the ocean and pool area. It was a great place to hang out and eat breakfast or read a book. The unit is close enough to the ocean to hear even the small waves and very peaceful at night, so much so that if you leave your window open the waves lull you to sleep and there really isn't much additional noise.The property is extremely well kept with the pool, pool furniture and beach furniture cleaned every morning. The resident manager is very friendly. If we return to Kona, this unit will be the place we will stay again.
