Floors were filthy and sticky. Owners ask you to remove shoes, which I appreciate. After walking barefoot in apartment feet were black with dirt. Had to foot wash every night before going to bed or putting on shoes.
Bathroom floor sticky, looks like cleaner only users swifter mop which makes floors sticky.
Towels were the worst!
View from sliding door/ lanai was the building across the lawn. If you walked out on grass area or one person sat in a far corner of the lanai closest to the grass, you could see the ocean.
Nice people at complex, great BBQ and seating next to the ocean, quiet pool, good parking all a nice plus.

We stayed for 2 weeks in July. The view is second to none with quick access via the lanai to the pool, seating area and bbqs. The communal bbq’s are a great way to meet others. Overall we had a great time.

My husband and I loved this little condo! The location is fantastic, the view was amazing, loved the salt water pool, sitting in the sand watching the waves crashing on the rocks, the sunsets. The furniture and the bed were all very comfortable. It was handy having a washer/dryer in the unit. We will stay here again!

Home away from home, with the added benefit of a waves lullaby. Condo is well supplied and exactly as presented. We wanted for nothing, were very comfortable, and enjoyed the sunsets from the balcony and shore. Relaxing, rejuvenating, and soul-filling. Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven! We look forward to returning.

First the bad: NOTHING! Now on to the good: Great location on Ali'i drive close to many beaches and shopping but just far enough from the pedestrian traffic. Perfect size for a couple and a well equipped kitchen (no oven though, but that wasn't an issue). Lots of beach equipment! Check-in was a breeze and simple. The first floor was a plus and you have a partial ocean view, but it's a quick 1 min walk to the pool and ocean viewing area with lots of tables and chairs. We have stayed at many condos globally and this one is top 3, especially for the price. Highly recommend and will stay again!

This condo was absolutely perfect for our 9-night stay!
It's just south of the little strip of restaurants & touristy shopping in "downtown" Kailua-Kona. It was a little further than what we would consider walking distance, but it's doable if that's your jam.
The condo is a 3rd floor walk-up and it's 2 buildings back from the parking lot. A bit of a haul with luggage/groceries/gear - but totally worth it once inside the condo! Absolutely beautiful views of the ocean from the moment you step inside! Ocean view from the kitchen/living area, ocean/property/mountain views from the lanai, the shower & the bedroom! And you can hear the ocean from everywhere, all the time. Even if you choose to use the A/C & close the windows & sliders.
The split A/C units (one in the living room, one in the bedroom) work very well & are quiet. We only used it at night & we were very comfortable. It was late June/early July; when it's not the middle of Summer the ocean breeze is probably enough to keep the unit comfortable.
The furniture is very comfortable, including the bed & pillows. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need. We had one maintenance issue but we contacted the property manager who responded within 10 minutes & the condo owner remedied the issue the next morning.
The condo complex is very quiet, very well taken care of & the small beachy area was an excellent place to hang out & catch the beautiful sunsets. Pool is nice & also well maintained.
Mahalo!

We are from Australia and loved our stay. Hoping to come back in the future. The only negative was the location was different to the map on Expedia so we were 3km from the pier. But it was easy to check in, parking included and comfortable apartment. There was work happening on the stairs while we were there but that didn’t affect us. It’s good to see they are maintaining the property. It was great having an esky provided as we could take cold drinks on day trips. Kitchen had good cooking utensils.

We loved the location of the condo. It was easy to get anywhere on the island. Our favorite spot was the lanai, and enjoying the view and sound of the waves. The pool and bbq area were great and we used them often. Would definitely recommend and hopefully stay here again.

We stayed for a week in June and it does get hot and humid in Kona. The place doesn’t have AC and is furnished with all the winter fabrics… The couch is covered in fleece blankets. We had to buy our own linen bedsheets because the original bedsheets are polyester and trap heat. The duvet is also very much heavy weighted and not meant for summer. The place has multiple fans so that helped.
Other than that the location is good, and having a kitchen is very handy. We did see some pests but that is inevitable in Hawaii.
The host is easy to reach and accommodating our request to move the dates of the reservation.

This condo was great for my wife and I. Ocean front beautiful views from the grounds but no ocean water access. Pool and neighboring salt water pool were great. Condo was outfitted with everything we needed and the beach gear was a nice bonus for our daily adventures.
This area of Kona is a great central area for all kinds of daily activities, however the only downside is limited food/activities within easy walking distance. With a rental car it was perfect.

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.

The condominium was very well decorated and clean. The rooms were well appointed with every thing needed for us to make meals and enjoy the stay. Check in was easy and consisted of filling out a card by the managers office. An assigned parking space made it easy to park. The pool and ocean view were very nice.
My only suggestion is to put a plunger in the bathroom. I needed to unclog the commode once during the stay. Fortunately, I found the property manager in the morning and he found me a plunger in the pool bathroom and that fixed the problem.

We absolutely loved our stay in Yan and Gary's beautiful oceanfront condo. We have stayed in many different condos in Kona over the years, but this was our first time at the Kona Isle. It will not be our last, as we really enjoyed the vibe of the complex as well as the location.
This unit was direct oceanfront and the view was spectacular! Yan and Gary have done an excellent job of furnishing and provisioning the condo. It was the best equipped kitchen we have ever seen in a vacation rental... even sharp knives! The bed was extremely comfortable.
I spent most of my time in the super comfy swivel rocking chairs on the lanai when we were "at home" in the condo. It was a perfect place to watch the beautiful waves breaking, the many types of birds in the grassy lawn and of course, the gorgeous sunsets.
The AC unit in the living room did a good job of cooling the bedroom at night, which was the only time we needed it. During the day, the ceiling fans kept us quite comfortable.
We will be back!

The on-site office manager, Brian, was very friendly and helpful! The place is nice and quiet. There is a beautiful area to sit and BBQ if you like right at the water’s edge. The bed was comfortable but the best part was the balcony with the view of the ocean! We will definitely be back!

This unit is a fantastic rental for your Hawaiian adventure. It is beautifully appointed, and incredibly well-stocked. The king-sized bed is very comfortable and everything is spotless. We've stayed at the property numerous times. We love its location, the grounds and the BBQ area is situated on the sandy beach, perfect for sunsets. B38 is far and away the best unit we've experienced in the complex. Everything was made easy and accessible by Kona Coast Vacations. Thank you!

My wife and I had previously stayed at this property about 5 years ago during our first visit to Kona. We had such a great time then that we booked to stay again and we had another great stay. The condo is recently renovated, extremely clean, and provides all the comforts of home, including beach-going supplies. We love that the complex is quiet and gives a more private atmosphere but is still close enough to town so that you can enjoy everything Kona has to offer with only a short drive. Thank you Audri for sharing your slice of paradise! We’re already looking forward to another trip.

This condo delivers the relaxing, tropical, low-key Hawaiian isle experience. The place is updated, clean and comfortable with most amenities. The best part is the oceanfront location with lanai -- looking out to lush grass, palm trees, ocean waves and feeling the sea breeze. Along with the inviting mini beach of lounge chairs in sand, under the trees. The location is fairly ideal for walking or driving into town and exploring other parts of the island. We would stay here again.
