Everything about this place was lovely! Great location right on the water and a very nice view.The only part that was missing was check in instructions with a code to get into the parking lot and instructions on where to park. The gate is normally open but at night it locks, if we hadn't followed a car in we would have been stuck outside. Everything else was very easy and smooth!

Was a really nice location and very quiet. If you like peace, quiet and and a beautiful place to watch the sunset then stay here. The room was nice and clean, the deck was a nice bonus and the grounds are very nice! Would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous view of ocean sunsets from the lanai. Clean, comfortable unit. Excellent location, ocean breezes keep the unit comfortable. We did not need to use the air conditioner at anytime during our stay.

We returned to this property based on the value, location, and space for the family. Kitchen was super functional. Lanai was fantastic to sit on in the mornings. The owners response time on minor issue was amazing. I told them it could wait till after we checked out, she got it taken care of immediately. We will be rebooking soon!!!

The owner was very communicative and helpful. She had lots of the little things needed for a stay-shaving cream, shampoo, garbage bags, toilet paper. You name it, it was there. Stayed for 3 weeks and could have packed only a carry on. Nice location for exploring the Kona Coast and for snorkeling. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Management was excellent to work with and responded quickly to any inquiries. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the room, which was well-equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed, though it would have been nice to have more spices available beyond just salt and pepper.The BBQ area was a highlight, offering a fantastic spot to cook steaks while enjoying the sunset. However, the amenities fell a bit short of expectations. The gym was in poor condition, with rusted equipment and no windows, and it didn’t open until 8 a.m., which was inconvenient. Additionally, the pool closing at 9 p.m. felt a bit early; a 10 p.m. closure would have been more typical and would have allowed us to relax longer after a long day of hiking and exploring. Unfortunately, we only managed about 10 minutes in the hot tub.Despite these minor issues, it was a great place to stay in an excellent location. Mahalo!

We spent most of our time outdoors as this is Hawaii and there is much to do. We are very active so even though the resort is 3Km from downtown it is a very easy walk for us. The place is very clean and Jeanette and Michael are available immediately if you have any questions.
The spectacular view from the lanais is nice to enjoy over breakfast or for a glass of wine at sunset. It is beautiful!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time in this apartment. The main bedroom had a very comfortable bed and lovely furniture. The upstairs had comfortable bunk bed that worked out great for our teens. The second bed was also great. It was sparkling clean which is super important to us. It was the cleanest place we ever stayed in Hawaii. We really enjoyed our mornings on the lanai, watching the ocean and dolphins. Most of the appliances were like new. We enjoyed our evenings in the pool/ hot tub and sitting by the ocean. The grounds were beautiful too. We will definitely stay again when visiting Kona

This was a perfect vacation for us and this condo was a big part of it. It’s really nice with a good sized kitchen and the lanai is huge where we had coffee and relaxation as the waves crashed just below us. The pool area is nice and we took morning walks into Kona.

6 adults stayed for 8 nights. Great central Kona location to see the island, visit downtown and enjoy the beaches. Condo is good size with lots of outdoor space. A/c works well but only is needed at night. Beds are comfortable. Beach chairs and spices were included. Only downsides are the view and the small condo type kitchen. Recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. it was clean, and well stocked with kitchen items, the bed was comfortable, and we loved hearing the ocean waves at night. There is a new 65" TV in the Living Room. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony was watching the waves hitting the lava rocks and reading. There were lots of beach chairs and beach toys which was really nice. This is a second floor unit without an elevator, so that might be a problem for some. The owner is very responsive and helpful when we had questions. We will be back.

Stayed there for a week, it was clean, calm, easy to access and well equipped. We loved the Kona Makai complex building, with gorgeous gardens and with the sun setting right in front of us every evening. The number of parking spot is tight but we managed to find a spot every evening.
Communication with the property manager was seamless. Would definitely come again!

The location of the home was perfect for IM. 15 min walk and we were at the start. Also a great location to watch the run. Home was very nice. Great A/C. We used the kitchen for breakfast, kitchen had the basics that we needed. Tech within home worked well in the gathering areas of the home.Thanks for sharing your home, especially during Ironman week.

The Kona Makai 1-301 was the perfect location to stay for the Ironman World Championship. Being close enough to walk to the starting line and events but far enough away to not have crowds along Al'i Drive. The family was about to stay at the condo most of the day and saw the runners several times along the course. The ocean views were incredible. No issues during the week long stay.

Every aspect of renting this amazing OCEAN FRONT / TOP FLOOR / FULL 180 degree view! Best Condo in the Kona Makai! Bldg 1 Unit 301! We will definitely be returning here... Every appointment you can imagine... oh, that lanai!! Amazing... The only thing = no AC in the main areas and the units in the bedrooms are a lil dated... but they do kinda "work"... But hey, you are in Hawaii! Enjoy!

This trip was definitely not as long as it needed to be but this place was cute and comfortable while we were here.
Pros: Place came relatively well stocked, was close to beaches we love, and we could see the ocean from our deck.
Cons: Bed in room was uncomfortable and there were ants on the walls. The level of noise from the people upstairs was a little much and the traffic was bad.
Overall a nice place but definitely will find something else next time.

I loved staying in this unit. Beautiful ocean view, excellent pool area, quiet after 10:00. It's all here. What I especially liked is usually not mentioned in a review: nothing in the unit felt as though it had come from a home where it was not longer needed. Example: All the plates matched, silverware was from the same set, good sized cups, decent glasses, great furniture, decent decor. Also, everything was very clean. People from the Knutson Office were very responsive if we had questions or concerns. I felt like I was on a great vacation in a beautiful unit instead of a great vacation in my college dorm.

We stayed here for 5 nights during a recent visit to Hawaii for a friend's wedding. The location is very conveniently located a few minutes drive from downtown Kona, and the condo area felt safe and was quiet. There is access to the ocean, which you can easily walk to. We would definitely recommend booking here!

This unit was a perfect fit for my family's needs. It was clean and well maintained. It came fully stocked with extra towels, bedding and dishes. The ceiling fans were a big plus so that we didn't need to use the A/C. There was a nice garden and ocean view from the lanai with beautiful sunsets. We walked into town several times to browse and shop. We would definitely stay here again.
