We were rebooked into this unit due to flooding in our original booking. I appreciated the property manager getting us into a new place without any hassle. The unit itself was fine, however I did feel it was a bit tight for 6 adults. The couple that took the pullout sofa found it too uncomfortable to sleep on and ended up using the blowup mattress with outdoor chair cushions on it. Other than that it was clean, quiet, and I felt safe in the location. I would 100% recommend it, just not for a group of 6.

We were very happy with the property! Great layout and location. We loved the ocean breeze and sleeping to the sound of the waves. The owner had great communication and kept us updated on anything that may have impacted our stay (normal unit and property maintenance). I highly recommend booking this property!

Good location. Great view from the lanai and just down the road from Green Flash Coffee. Impressively clean for being so close to the beach and a well-stocked kitchen. Nice pool at the property too.

Fourth of July in Kona!
Another visit to the Big Island and another perfect stay here at this exceptional property! I spent 8 amazing nights here and it was spectacular.
The property itself is perfect.
It’s on the third floor and right on the beach. Listening to the waves all day and feeling the breeze is magical. I have stayed here before. And I always arrive and it is spotless and welcoming and I feel at home. Even the parking spot is perfect!!!
I hope to return AGAIN I would never stay anywhere else!

Great location - although pool outside lanai is not our pool - no A/C was really a bummer. Would only not stay here due to that. Very hot & humid during our stay and not as breey at night as it was with my last visit to Kona.

The host was very thorough, including communication before and during the stay. The unit was equipped with everything you could need for a vacation at the beach. Views are outstanding and location was great! Miss hearing those waves crashing on the rocks while going to sleep or waking up. Great stay and hosts! Thank you for sharing your home.

This condo’s location is one of the best on property. The view and sounds from the balcony lulled us to sleep each night. Plenty of room and met all our needs as a family including beach stuff, kitchen supplies, and pool/cookout area on property. Kona is beautiful and the location was accessible to everything. Great parking situation as well. You do need to be able to climb stairs. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This place was perfect for my family. Great location, clean, comfortable, and as good of a view from the lanai as one could ask for. Stayed the perfect temperature day and night. Would recommend to just about anyone.

Gorgeous property and quiet surroundings. We had more complementary amenities than a hotel would offer. Kids loved the pool. Easy to get to with our own parking spot right next to our door.

Leading up to our stay, the communication with the host was extensive and they were also responsive. The property was clean and spacious and had everything you would need to eat in or go to the beach. The A/C in the living area was great, although it got a little stuffy during the day in the bedroom (the fans made sleeping comfortable). The patio was a good space to sit in. The short walk to watch the sunset on the complex grounds each night was excellent. The 2+ km walk into town was ok for us.

What a fabulous spot- overlooking the ocean from the lanai- Sleeping to the sound of the waves - short walk to Kona town- what more is there to ask for! We love Ali'i villas and it is now our go to spot when we travel to Kona. Clean, quiet and close to everything. This unit was exceptional, full kitchen, great view and comfortable beds. We will be back!Knutson and Associates were very helpful- got us an early check in and answered all our questions in a timely manner! Great hosts

It's a nice place. Clean, Quiet available. Great View. here's what I didn't like -- I didn't like the 4:00 pm check in time. I get you have to wait for people to get out, but if the unit is available earlier is should be made available to the client. This is not walking distance if you are over 50 and out shape to anything. Aslo don't call and ask if I would like to buy something in the area. I was there for work, and I know when I'm on vacation I find that annoying as all get out.

This place was great to stay in for our 5 day vacation. Great amenities and very close to the downtown area of Kona, we rented a car but were able to walk a few times since it’s so close. We would definitely recommend this property to stay at for your next vacation!

Lovely condo, great view, especially in its price range. We kept our binocs on the patio table to watch for ocean life and water activities in the bay! The 2 new room a/c units worked well with fans in temperate, early May. Mgmt company responsive, only minor issue was with WiFi that reset to the password on the box vs. instructions, then worked fine. You’ll need your own Netflix and other services passwords to use them. The condo complex no longer allows you to have keys to access the oceanfront lava rock/water, that is not the condo owners fault. We have done scuba diving from those rocks in the past, so that was very disappointing. Parking very convenient, quiet complex, nice!

Great rental, very well stocked. Not directly in front of the beach, but on this island there really aren't many beaches. We could still sleep to the sound of the pacific ocean 24/7 and the sounds of nature were everywhere! We had a momentary issue opening the lockbox, but we contacted the mgmt team and they responded immediately and were able to resolve our issue. I highly recommend this property.

This is the cleanest condo we have rented and we have been visiting Hawaii for decades. The maintenance is kept up and the remodeling is current. The condo is well stocked with more than we could have imagined.
We enjoyed all of the tourist attractions years ago so we visit to relax at the oceans edge and this condo is right at the edge. We listened to the ocean during the day and fell asleep by it at night. Our stay was from April 22 - May 6, 2024, which is the end of whale season. We were fortunate to see a young whale swim right in front of the condo.
The owners were always available to speak too. They are good listeners, they are honest, and they have integrity. We could not have asked for better owners and a more beautiful and comfortable condo. It felt like home.
I read every review before we rented and every single review is positive. There is not one negative remark and we understand why after staying at Joseph and Monikas Condo.

This is the second time we have stayed at one of Jen & Mike's properties. They are great and helpful hosts and their units are well maintained and clean. We like the Alii Villa's location and the pool is never crowded. This location will be at the top of our list for our next visit.

Condo is in a great location, 15 minute walk to downtown Kona. Situated perfectly for beautiful sunsets and to watch cruise ships arrive. Unit is complete with everything one would require for your stay. Jim, the owner of the unit, is extremely helpful and accommodating in every way. Although it is an older unit, I would rate our overall experience a 5 out of 5.

We really enjoyed the full 2BD 2BA. The outdoor furniture is great for eating and playing games. We liked having such a comfortable outdoor space to spend time.
After talking to locals, I was able to find a safe entry for snorkeling, but was advised and I agree this is not a spot for beginners. Lots of fish and fun formations.
Would definitely stay here again!

This was our first time on the Big Island and thoroughly enjoyed it. The condo was everything as advertised and well equipped. We really enjoyed having our breakfast on the lanai each morning with a view of the pool and ocean, listening to the birds singing. We would stay here again.

![Kona Shores 1 Bedroom Condo]()
My husband and I stayed here for two weeks. The condo was very clean and very well-equipped, and communication with the hosts excellent. Beach chairs, two coolers, umbrellas (for sun or rain), plenty of beach and bath towels, coffee grinder and drip coffee maker, blender, and a fridge and cupboard full of spices and condiments - it was one of the best equipped VRBOs we’ve stayed in. The unit and shared space was very quiet. There is a glimpse of ocean views (we could see the cruise ships when they were in port) and the quiet, clean pool is very close by with lounge chairs and lovely views of the sunsets from there. There is a shared briquette bbq that was always in very clean condition. Nearby (like next door) is a morning and lunch coffee shop, but other restaurants and shops are a good 15-20 minute walk along a very busy road. No sand beach here but it’s close (walkable or drivable) to several small beaches and beach parks. We enjoyed our stay very much. Mahalo, Allen and Pat!!
