This was a nice location with a nice little condo. 2 bed 2 bath right in the oceanfront. Enjoyed mornings on the lounge chairs on the oceanfront with some mornings spotting dolphins. Close enough to walk the 1 mile to downtown historic Kailua and central enough to drive any direction to get to North to great beaches, east to Hilo for waterfalls or south to Kona/Captain Cook for Kona coffee and great snorkeling. We found incredible tropical fruit everywhere. Jody put everything you need to know in the guest binder. She was also quickly responsive to email. The condo has everything you need in the kitchen, for the beach, and for children. My whole family enjoyed the stay! Thank you

Great first floor condo with wonderful ocean view. Condo was well equipped with beach gear, kitchen equipment and games. Clean and nicely furnished. Oceanfront pool and beautiful landscaping.

Can't say enough great things about this wonderful property. Everything you could possibly need for your vacation is located in this condo. The best equipped kitchen we have ever had during our travels.
The condo is exactly as presented in the photos and seemed even more spacious in person. The location is very quiet and the grounds, pool and hot tub are maintained to high standards. Our favourite thing to do was watch the sunsets in the evenings listening to the waves crash in. The onsite BBQ's were very handy.
Everything you need for a day at the beach is available for use. Parking is easy and location is walkable into town if needed.
Communication with the owners was great, they are very responsive. Everything is so well laid out that we didn't even need to contact them however they did check in with us during our stay to confirm everything was going well. They are extremely accommodating and we would definitely book our stays her again in the future.
We were sad to leave.

Property as advertised, on first floor, close to pool and bbq area. Nice chaise lounges available to watch the sunset. Well equipped condo. Pretty tropical views. Only recommendation is Master shower tub has cracks and needs work. (We used guest shower with second bedroom) All in all a great stay!

The building management does a great job keeping the surrounding areas lush and tropical but well maintained! Location of this condo was perfect! Pool outside the unit. The two bedrooms were great. I slept in the guest bedroom and the mattress was just right! We have stayed at other places on the island, but we will definitely be coming back to this one next time.

Great location. Condo was well equipped with everything you could need. Would definitely book again.

What an amazing location and complex with amazing pool and view with whale and dolphin watching. The gardens are spectacular. The condo is well stocked. Would be even better once the carpet in the second bedroom is replaced. Parking is sufficient but challenging for larger vehicles especially late in the day.

This was our first time to the Big Island and we weren’t sure what to expect (we usually go to Maui). It was a fantastic, but different with all of the lava rock. The condo was fantastic, well stocked. It is a quiet condo, which was great for us having a family of 5 adults. Our favorite part was to watch the sunset from the chairs right outside your door. The use of the BBQ’s were great, they were always clean. Everyone was as really friendly. The pool is very quiet so if you didn’t want a lot of activity but a lot of relaxing this is definitely the unit. The owners were fast at responding to questions. They were super accommodating when our flight was cancelled and we needed extra nights (thanks Steve!). Would recommend.

We've stayed in this unit before and liked it so we're glad to be there again. It's well furnished, attractive, and conveniently located in the complex.

Kona Makai 601 is well appointed and well supplied. It was nice to have beach chairs, coolers, and beach towels available.
The grounds of Kona Makai are a garden paradise and the oceanfront location is perfect. Kailua town is a short, walking distance away.
We hope to return soon.

We had a great stay in Kona-Makai in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. This condo is right on Ali'i Drive really close to the town and beaches and a few small shops. We enjoyed the newly renovated pool and hot tub as well as took advantage of the grills and cabana area when other family members joined us for dinner. The condo is well stocked with all of the kitchen items you could ever want. There were also beach chairs, snorkels and masks, beach towels, an umbrella, cooler, and beach mats which we enjoyed using at the beach that is about a 10 minute walk to get to. The condo is also well stocked with games, children's toys and books to enjoy by the pool or at the beach. There was plenty of room for the four of us and we thoroughly enjoyed eating breakfast with an ocean view every morning on the lanai. We had one issue with the drain for the washing machine which was handily dealt with by a couple calls and texts between us and the owner and the local maintenance manager and property manager. While it was a minor inconvenience, it did not take away from our enjoyment of the condo and our trip. We would highly recommend this property for your trip to Kailua-Kona. Thanks for the great memories!

Excellent time!
This condo is a great first floor (no climbing stairs with luggage and groceries). Near the pool for the kids and lovely balcony space with beautiful flowers and birds to watch with morning coffee. We loved that there were coolers and beach stuff so no need to rent anything. The washer and dryer in the unit was super helpful. When we had a small hiccup one quick message via the app and the owner had it taken care of. Thanks again for a great family vacation.

Great place to stay. The unit was well stocked with all the kitchen gear and beach toys we needed. Plastic containers for days to store left overs and transporting day trip snacks. Blender for adult beverages. Everything was in good working order and clean. Beds were comfortable -- one firm, one soft -- pillows and linens were nice. A/c and fans kept the place cool. Owners thought of everything and provided it -- never needed to reach out because something didn't work or wasn't in a logical spot. Internet was strong enough to WFH on the patio, which is tucked behind the gardens and fully enclosed -- secure but also conveniently a corner ground floor unit. I'd recommend this place to anyone.
Kona makai: Oceanfront in a quiet, mature-landscaped complex tucked between similar larger complexes. Big sitting deck. Nice grills, pool area, and loungers. Parking is easy. Guests we met had been coming here for years. Safe and secure. Pool area locks down afterhours. I haven't seen any enforcement but the HOA has a lot of rules -- may not be great for a gaggle of children, better suited for older kids and adults.

This was one of the best places we have ever rented. We stayed with my family of 5 with three kids and had a blast. The location was perfect and we spent hours out on the rocks in the tide pools. The swimming pool was right there and we could watch the older kids swim from the lanai. All the provided extras such as boogie boards and cooler really helped meals the stay complete. I will be returning and recommending this place to everyone I know!!

The Kona Makai complex surrounds a beautiful tropical garden with many varieties of blooming flowers. There were sweet little birds that would eat fruit out of our hand! The garden and pool are right on the ocean and sunset viewing was spectacular. The condo itself was very comfortable for two couples, with each couple having a bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen was well-stocked with literally everything we needed, including little things like a coffee grinder, small strainer, whisk, spices, travel cups, cooler, etc., etc. The owner was readily available by phone when we had questions. We were so sad to leave this vacation paradise, but we are looking forward to planning a return trip next year. I highly recommend this property to other travelers!

A very convenient location and great apartment. Everything you would ever require was in the apartment. Very thoughtful with beach towels and snorkel equipment. $7 Uber to town and 10 minutes drive from the lovely Kona Country club for golfers. My only
suggestion is you replace the matress in 2nd bedroom, it is well past its use by.

Great unit for a family of four. We were 2 adults and 2 kids and this unit was perfect for us. Very close to the pool, the bbq’s and the ocean. We really liked the beach chairs, umbrella, coolers and the kids toys for the beach. Wifi and cable were fantastic on our down time. Ground floor unit too that made coming home from the beach a little easier.
Highly recommend!

The condo was perfect for us two. We loved all of the items in the well-stocked kitchen. We really enjoyed the bar height lanai table which allowed us to see over the railing. The condo was so clean and decorated beautifully. We’d love to visit again. Mahalo

Sunny ocean and garden view
Easy access ground-floor 2 bed(plus pull-out sofa) unit with sunny, spacious southfacing lanai. The Kona Makai condominium complex does a great job maintaining the quite floury and varied Gardens. The pool and spa are located right along the water so you can sunbathe at the pool and also watch the wave action. The unit comes fully equipped with beach towels, 2 boogie boards, an assortment of snorkeling and flotation gear, a fully equipped kitchen, and plenty of reading material. It is very quiet at night too!
I enjoyed snorkeling right in front, as long as you are a really good swimmer and know how to use the natural surge of the ocean to pop you out onto the rocks. Management staff is friendly and conscientious towards both renters and owners, which can be a challenge at times!😉
Our four daughters also stayed with us and so we used the pull-out bed for the younger two. I would not recommend it for adults. There are ceiling fans and gentle breezes coming in from the Lanai.
Steve, the owner, was very attentive and easy to communicate via email. He was extremely helpful and accommodating when we experienced Airline flight cancellation issues at the end of our stay. A lifesaver for sure! We will definitely try to book with Steve in the future. 🌴🤙☀️

We loved our stay! We would definitely stay here again if we brought our kids (11, 9, 6). There were 2 bedrooms, plots of beach equipment (sand toys, umbrella, 3 chairs, 2 boogie boards, multiple coolers, a few snorkeling goggles with snorkels, 4 sets of fins). There were also inside toys our kids played with often (like the play dough).
Steve was easy to communicate with and always answered my texts when I sent them. He even communicated to me before our arrival that they were working on the washer because someone’s mask clogged the drain (they finished work before we showed up).
The apartment was fairly clean, but there were some ants running around. This can be remedied if each group does their part - so if you go keep it clean.
The bathrooms were a little outdated, and the tubs didn’t drain well. Not necessarily a deal breaker, just passing information along.
Overall we loved it and would not hesitate to stay again with our 3 kids.
Thank you.

Great location for exploring the many Big Island attractions. The condo was well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay - especially all the beach and snorkeling gear. Would definitely recommend this property for anyone wanting to vacation on the Kona side of the island. Thank you Steve and Jody for a wonderful Hawaiian vacation experience.

Overall, this was a very nice stay. The location was relatively convenient. The complex had some nice amenities like a pool, grill, and lounge chairs for watching sunset. The owners provided plenty of beach accessories like towels, masks, boogie boards, etc. The one downside we found was that the condos are a bit dated and the plumbing needs some work. Specifically, the drains in both showers were very slow, and by the end of the shower, if you left the water on, you would be standing in a significant amount of water. We tried some Draino, but that didn't help. I think the plumbing just needs to be redone. Provided you can deal with the showers not draining well, it was a nice property to stay at.

First time in a condo always stayed in hotels before...
Would have liked more laundry detergent on arrival or a note to buy it before going to grocery store . Otherwise everything was very nice. Still like room service at my age though :)

We stayed here for the first part of our time on Hawai'i and it was perfect! The unit and the grounds it's on are impeccably managed and were very clean and organized. You can hear the waves crashing from the pool / hot tub and watch incredible sunsets from your lanai or the community tables / chairs near the shoreline. The condo had everything we needed for the beach including towels, umbrella, cooler, chairs which was so helpful to have so that we didn't have to buy those things while we were there. Easy walk to one of the best coffee places on the island - Green Flash Coffee and short drive to the main strip of Kona for restaurants shops. We recommend going to the Da Shark Shack for a cocktail and On the Rocks for a sunset dinner! Hosts were very easy to communicate with and made it very easy to check in and out during our stay.
