This place has everything you need to relax and enjoy the Kona area. A great find!

Our stay was excellent--with easy access to the pool, gas grill, and local shops within walking distance, getting all of our shopping done and going back to the condo for some relaxation was a doable because of the great location.

The cotton candy condo is a perfect headquarters for a Hawaiian vacation. The condo is close to restaurants and it is very well equipped. Despite being close to the road, you do not hear the cars at all You definitely will hear the wildlife, specifically the frogs at night. At the beginning the froggy sound is great, they can get loud. Hubby and I were considering hunting our own dinner and getting frog's legs for dinner . JK We enjoyed having our coffee on the balcony in the morning. And you have the most spectacular sunsets in the afternoon. The condo was super clean. That is one of my fears when going on vacation. Here nothing to fear about. A rental car in the big Island is a must, and the condo has its own parking space. There was some construction in the last days of our visit, but that is not Marsa's fault. I has a question during the stay and she promptly answered. If we go back to the island, we definitely will choose the condo again.

Spent a week at this property for our anniversary we had an excellent experience. the condo was extremely clean and comfortable good location close to everything we would absolutely book this place again and highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Kailua. The only suggestion I would have is a small ice chest for people to take cold drinks to the beach

The place and location were exactly as advertised. Very clean and well located with great sunsets. The AC could be better, but overall a great stay.

We have stayed in Kona many times. We chose this property based on the property photographs, price, and location within walking distance to Kona. Most everything anyone would need was available -- fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, beach chairs, beach towels, etc. We especially liked the PUR water filter in the refrigerator--did not need to purchase bottled water. The management company provided great communication and check in instructions. The unit was spacious and comfortable--cable TV, landline, and WIFI. We were aware from previous posts that parking was tight--it is. We stayed two weeks, November into December. The unit is north facing, and at this time of year, it was very dark inside, not at all like the bright photos. Also there is a lot of traffic noise from Kuakini Hwy behind the unit--at night we kept the bedroom slider closed and left the living room door opened to minimize noise. There is also AC, but we did not need it because of ample ceiling fans. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the "jungle foliage" view from the spacious lanai.

Super easy check in and check out process. Great communication with management company. Unit was clean and comfortable and had all we needed. AC is a bit loud. Parking was tricky - very tight spot in an area for compact cars, but not all of the neighboring cars were compact.Great location. Super convenient and easy walk to shops and cafes on Alii Dr. like most condos on Ali’i, things feel bit worn down, but this is def one of the nicer condos we’ve stayed in. Pool was great! Never crowded and the whole complex was very clean.

The room has been updated and is very nice. Pool is a little small but didn't seem to have many people using it. Short walk (3 blocks) to Kona strip but at night the road is very dark and no sidewalks. Make to take a small flashlight.

This was our first stay on the Big Island. The location relative to the main Kona village was great. Just a short walk down the hill to many restaurants and shops and a short drive to the grocery stores. The condo was exactly as advertised and well equipped for a 2 week stay.

The condo was difficult to find at night upon arrival. Otherwise, it was perfect! Clean, comfortable, lovely view, close to town. Great pool area, too. Very well outfitted. Kitchen was well supplied with spices, etc. The only thing I’d upgrade are the frying pans. Loved the washer/dryer in unit. Comfy bed. We had a wonderful visit and would stay here again.

This condo is located just past the Kailua Kona business district—perfect for walking to restaurants without being in the thick of it. It was clean and well organized. Basic kitchen & pantry items, beach equipment, and excellent air conditioning/fans made it very livable for our 1.5 week stay. Loved the lanai in the morning & evenings. Location is great if you rent a car for day trips to other island destinations.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed staying in this unit, it had everything we needed, so nice to have beach gear, towels to use at the pool, plenty of everything to make our stay easy and comfortable. Lounge chairs on the lanai were nice to have when wanting to lay out in the warm weather and be close to the condo. Air conditioning units worked great to cool down the rooms. So nice to stay in a quiet building.

Perfect for your family. Three bathrooms and two bedrooms with a fold out couch was very comfortable for the five of us. This was my third time staying at this unit and would recommend to anyone with a family.

This condo was just what we needed. Clean and well stocked and maintained. Just a short walk to the ocean, shopping, and dining. Perfect for a couple or even two couples. Two bathrooms and a pull out sofa. Nice balcony with an amazing view of the sunset.

November 2024

The directions and instructions for the late arrival were flawless and had us arrive without issue in the unfamilair darkness of night. The location could not have been better. Close enough to walk all over town, yet far enough away to be a quiet restful retreat when your day was done.

Amazing place, close to restaurants, shops. Easy walking but in a quiet location. The condo is comfortable, clean with everything we could want and more. We definitely would stay here again!

This was our second stay, and it was just as great as the first. The location is ideal, the size of the lanai is excellent, and there are sunset views every night. We would highly recommend this Kona property!
Shannon D.
November 2024

The location was perfect walking distance to town, shops, restaurants and beaches. The views from the balcony were great. The condo is a bit tired as in furniture, bedding and basic upkeep of property. For the price it was good and gave it a 4-star only because of location but can’t give it a 5 star due to its need for updating. Outdoor furniture is falling apart, bedding is old and worn, whole place is in need of fresh paint, tubs are peeling and you are unable to use jetted tunb or garbage disposal.

The process from start to finish was made really easy, great communication with the host, any questions we had were answered promptly. Property was better than expected, clean, tidy and spacious. The location was great, close enough to walk to the Race hotel, transition and start, so many restaurants to chose from within walking distance. Would highly recommend this property and host. Thanks for a lovely visit Ozzy

I booked Gina’s condo as I was on the island for the IM triathlon. From the first contact, Gina had great communication and was ready to answer all of my questions and provide help where she could. The check in process was a breeze, and the benefits of a private parking space were great. The condo was exactly as described- it was super clean and such a relaxing place to stay. The location was perfect to explore Kona. Far enough away to ensure it was quiet, but close enough to make a walk into the village just a matter of minutes. Likewise, the condo was perfectly situated to explore all areas of the island and even take the short flight over to Honolulu. This vacation was perfect in every sense- don’t hesitate in booking this place via Gina. You won’t regret it!

I can't say enough good things about our stay at Gina & Jake's. Very clean and comfortable, great location, and you have just about everything at your fingertips that you could possibly want. And Gina was quick to respond to any questions I had. I only cooked breakfast but the kitchen seems very well equipped. Nothing negative to say at all, even the pool was great. We knew in advance about the parking and we got a Nissan Sentra and would have not wanted anything bigger so that is our only word of caution. I'm not sure when we'll be back to Kona, but when we do, we would definitely want to stay here again! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The property was clean, spacious and a great location. It included beach chairs, an umbrella, mat, towels, cooler, snorkel gear and more. The location is close to everything and the parking spot was very convenient, right in front of the elevator. Water pressure was lower than I’d like but was a minor inconvenience in comparison to the benefits of this lovely unit. My husband and I had a wonderful stay. Thank you!

Great location. Walkable to restaurants and shopping. I know others complained about the parking spot being too narrow, but even though it is a bit small it is not as bad as others made it out to be. The unit was clean and well equipped. Communication was excellent.

Wonderful place to stay! Within walking distance of downtown Kona for dining, souvenirs and the waterfront. Close to many grocery stores and Kona coffee! The condo/apartment was supplied with everything we needed for the week including towels, beach chairs, paper towels, laundry and dish soap—even a washer and dryer in the unit. So much more reasonable and comfy than staying at a resort.
Melissa T.

The condo was clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies, linens, beach chairs, etc. It’s in a great location to walk into town and the lanai is a great spot with a view to rest between excursions.

The condo had everything we needed for a ten night stay. The location was easy walking into town, quiet at night, and had plenty of room to stretch out. You can tell the owners are very thoughtful about what they included for a vacation there. From beach chairs, an umbrella, to an ice chest, and ice packs in the freezer. We only wish we could have stayed longer!!
Jacques M.

Very nice property. Clean, spacious for a couple, and great location. The property manager kept us updated and even called us to let us know that we could check in earlier. You have everything you need to go to the beach in the property. Overall, everything went great. Highly recommend.

Fine art on the walls to enhance the natural beauty. The partial ocean view enticed us to the lanai for every in home meal. All kinds of sport equipment was available, including snorkel gear, beach towels, boogie boards. This place is a WOW!
