We loved our stay in Vicky's unit in Alii Villas. The unit itself was clean, bright, and well stocked with a great ocean view. And the location of the complex is perfect on Alii, within walking distance of Kona and local beaches. We would definitely stay again.

In Kona for Ironman we found this place not to close or to far from the centre of town that gave us an extra sense of relaxation with great accomodation and pool.

The condo is very clean with nice location. We had a very good time there. They had everything we needed for our vacation and it felt like we were living in someone’s house. The beach behind the condo doesn’t have much to explore, but that’s how big island is. It doesn’t have much beach there. The famous magic beach is just a small, tiny beach. We drove by and didn’t even stop because it’s too tiny. However, the beach behind the condo is a great place to enjoy sunset. Overall it was a very nice experience.

We enjoyed our stay from the moment we arrived. The condo was a great size for the two of us. The balcony looked out over the pool to the ocean beyond. It was in a great location right on the ocean and an easy drive to many of the great sights along the Kona coast. Stephanie was a great host and very responsive to any and all questions I had. The unit was equipped with everything you might need from kitchen supplies to the beach. Would definitely recommend to stay here and I’m pretty sure we will be back. It was that good.

Overall a nice place with sunset viewing right at the rocky beach outside the unit. Unit is clean, and the host is very responsive and nice. As it is along Ali'i, expect some noise which is common in that area. Easy access to many places. We enjoyed the stay.

My wife and I travelled with our adult daughter to Kona and stayed in Stephanie's condo in Kona. We've stayed in the area previously but never with Stephanie. The complex is well situated about a mile from Kailua town and the condo itself was spotless and very well equipped. Dedicated parking was just steps from the door which makes a big difference when you are ferrying supplies into the suite. There is a small, comfortable patio with sunset and ocean views. Stephanie was very helpful and communicative whenever we had a question. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely re-book. Highly recommended for small parties.

Nice place. Could use a bit more instruction about the beach closet which we did not find until we were leaving.

Nice unit with all amenities except adequate drawer space for clothing. All drawers and shelves in the nice and large walk in closet were filled so we ended up not emptying our suitcases. Location is accessible to town life but know that traffic is quite often heavy. Beach is close but full of rocks so no laying out. Pool is very nice.

Place was just as described. Clean and well stocked. Location was close to town and great local beaches but also nice and quiet. Loved having morning coffee on the lanai. Great way to start the day. Stephanie was super communicative. Would stay here again.

This location is perfect. No air conditioning in the mail pat of the house, but there is a unit in the bedroom that keeps the temperature perfect for sleeping.
The lanai, and view are amazing.

Our stay was so relaxing. The place is central, super quiet and has more than all the basics you’d need - well stocked kitchen, washer-dryer, laundry hamper, comfy king bed, lots of towels and beach toys. The place is a bit dated but generally clean. It was easy to get in and check out. Stephanie is a prompt, helpful and clear communicator. The pool is large, clean and moments away, as is a rocky beach with amazing sunsets. Lots of towels, great view from the balcony and a one minute walk from a great Kona coffee place. We went with our 6 year old who is capable of being quiet and calm, when needed. If you have a more rambunctious and loud kid, this is not the place for you. It’s very quiet, peaceful and you could easily be heard by all by not being mindful. Parking is also easy. We would certainly stay here again.

We loved this condo. It was clean, comfortable, just the right size for my husband and me, in a perfect location, and had a well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed eating breakfast, appetizers, and dinner on the lanai, with a view of the ocean. We liked that it was only about a mile from downtown Kona and also centrally located to other attractions on the Big Island.
If I ever vacation on the Big Island again, I would hope to stay here.

Stephanie’s condo was a great place to stay for exploring the big island. It was in a quiet part of town just outside the hustle bustle of downtown Kona. The pool was nice, lanai views were lovely, and the condo was extremely clean. Stephanie was very quick to reply to messages and provide helpful information. The kitchen has everything you need to cook simple meals and there are community gas grills near the pool. You’ll definitely want a rental car, though there is a bikeshare station less than a block from the condo.

Listing was as advertised. I would recommend this property to anyone visiting Kona and wanting to stay in a quiet neighborhood away from the noise of the village.

We truly enjoyed our stay here! Communication was fantastic with the owner as she made sure everything was in order prior to our stay.
Amenties were great, we didn't need to get anything for our stay except food! Beach equipment, cooler, fully equipped kitchen, comfy bed, linens, and bathroom.
We would definitely stay again!!

We very much enjoyed our stay. The location was excellent- just a short drive to the historic village shops and less than 10 minutes from anything you could need. The condo is well cared for and clean. The only cons were quite a few ants that got into our food. And be aware, it’s hot in Hawaii! The AC in the bedroom works well but the rest of the place can get quite warm and humid. Use the abundance of fans! Otherwise it’s outstanding. Host was kind and very responsive. They provide a lot of beach supplies available for use that came in handy and avoided extra rentals, including chairs, an umbrella and a couple boogie boards. The kitchen was well stocked and helped us save a lot by eating in. Overall, it was a perfect home base while we explored the west side of the island.

Stephanie was a great responsive host. The unit was well stocked with everything we needed. The location to the pool and view were excellent though it was not quite walking distance to town. It was also very nice to have a washer and dryer. The unit could use some updating but we enjoyed our time there immensely.

Masonry construction outside the front door was a little distracting but really, who stays in during the day when visiting Kona.
Workers were very polite and the work is nearly done.
Would recommend this property to anyone!

This was our first trip to the Big Island, we usually go to Maui. I picked this spot on a whim based on the reviews, photos, and proximity to town. Everything is as shown, it’s a comfortable condo with everything you need, and even more stocked than other places in terms of the kitchen, extra blankets and towels, pool toys etc. We absolutely loved the lanai with the fan. Being December we didn’t need ac in the family/dining/kitchen. The breeze comes in wonderfully. We used the AC at night a couple times. I’m a very light sleeper and was not interrupted by any noise from the exterior stairwell, the parking drive, or foot noise from above or below. I think the concrete construction really helps keep things quiet and cool. The complex itself is lovely, we spent many afternoons after the beach at the pool, which is lovely and cool, which I like. My favorite aspect was seeing all the locals, their lanais decorated for Christmas, evening swims at the pool with regulars to chat with, and evening sunset watches and BBQ fun (listening to the laughter and fun). You really feel like you’re at someone’s home around here, it wasn’t just tourists and it really is a welcoming community of residents mixed in. Absolute loved it. Great proximity to town, we walked to Huggos for dinner. Things are a little more spread out on this island but we didn’t mind. Lovely, will be back!

We had a wonderful time at Stephanie’s condo! Everything was as pictured and the proximity to town can’t be beat. We loved having beach supplies to take with us including an umbrella, towels, chairs and more! We would 100% stay here again when we come back to Kona.

Had a great time. Especially loved the lanai. Only downside was air conditioning in unit for us southerners used to a/c. Had a/c in bedroom so sleeping was great.

This condo had everything my family and I needed for a very comfortable and easy stay. Really appreciated the fully stocked kitchen since we cooked quite a bit. Also loved the beach equipment which we used a lot. Friends of ours were staying in a nearby condo which we visited once and by comparison, ours was definitely higher quality. Seemed like the owner put a lot of thought into what guests would need. The location is also fantastic. Only a mile from the main area with shops and restaurants - walkable if it’s not swelteringly hot. And only a 3-minute walk from the famed Green Flash coffee!
Really enjoyed our stay.

It is a nice place, lanai with ocean view, a lot of toiletries, beach supplies, food condiments - not always found at other rental places. Short drive to Kona downtown and some beaches. There are a couple of things that need to be fixed - bedroom door and lanai screen are getting stuck. Overall, it is a good place to stay.

Beautiful and clean unit - unit location is great and access to unit is so easy. Location is far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Kailua town ant no so far that you could not venture out and see things. Perfect location!
Manager was very personable and easy to chat with. The Grounds personnel were very helpful and friendly.
Only one incident, whereby the neighbors assumed I was smoking in the unit.. which was not true. They have a very nice designated smoking area which is not too far from the unit.
You will love this unit!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Stephanie’s condo. The layout, furnishings and pretty much everything you’d need couldn’t have been better.
The lanai was the highlight looking over the pool and the ocean. Parking was just a few steps away from the entrance to the building with just 1 flight of stairs which was very convenient. After searching on line for weeks for a condo Stephanie’s condo was by far the best value for everything it provided. We would definitely book Stephanie’s condo again for our next trip to Kona.

We just returned from an 8 night stay at Stephanie's condo. We were so glad we chose this condo. The keyless entry was very convenient during our stay. The condo was just as pictured online, views to ocean from the lanai one of our favorite things each morning as we enjoyed coffee and fresh pineapple and watched for dolphins and whales, which we did see. Kitchen is very well stocked with everything we needed and more. Bed was very comfortable. Beach items were very handy including towels, umbrella and chairs. The Alli Villas is a very nice complex, very well maintained. We did not use the pool but it was very clean also. BBQ's were wonderful to have for a couple evenings when we cooked in. Stephanie was always very quick to respond to questions prior to arrival and very appreciative of a couple recommendations we made also. Hopefully we can return for another stay in the future!

We enjoyed our stay on this property. Is was conveniently located for most activities. It was a good value for the price and was well stocked with amenities for a vacationer. The only comments that I have are that the dryer and dishwasher were very noisy and that the sliding glass door was difficult to open and in need of repair. I understand that this is a new owner and would assume they plan on making some deferred maintenance repairs.

We spent a month in Kailua-Kona at Stephanie's place and could not have had a better time! The condo is located in a quiet complex overlooking the pool area with views of the ocean, and the complex is built on the rocky shore with direct access to tidepools and the hypnotically soothing waves crashing onshore. Pool was warm enough yet refreshing and never crowded. Adjacent gas grill and outdoor dining area were a pleasant alternative to change up the dining. Having now spent a month here, we are seriously considering purchasing a unit in this complex for our own use.
The condo was perfect for the two of us. Because we were both working remotely, taking calls, etc. it was useful to have separate work spaces: dining table, lanai, bedroom. Kitchen was well-equipped and organized, and there was plenty of equipment (towels, chairs, boogie board, snorkeling gear, etc.) to enjoy the outdoors. Furniture and decor tastefully reflected the island theme.
Stephanie could not have been more gracious. Because the condo was sold after I reserved but before our stay began, I was concerned about the potential for errors, dropped reservation, etc. However, Stephanie honored the previous owner's price and commitment and worked with me to transfer the reservation. She was friendly, helpful, communicative, and responsive each time I reached out, both before and during our stay. I could not ask for a better host.
When I return to Hawaii, this will be the first place I look to stay! I hope you, too, have the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful location.
