About this apartment rental
The Kona Makai is an Ocean Front Complex located on famous Ali'i Drive just 1 mile south of the edge of historic Kona Village. Kona Makai has immaculately maintained Hawaiian native plants. Enjoy the wonderful ocean-front seating area with loungers, feel the ocean spray, and listen to the rolling waves. Watch the spinner dolphins traveling by most mornings and back again in the late afternoon. We've also seen whales and monk seals! Enjoy amazing sunsets and good conversation with your fellow travelers. The heated salt water pool and relaxing spa are steps from the ocean, along with gas grills and eating areas for dinner. This a quiet complex with tennis courts, exercise rooms, and ping-pong.
This is a 2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom Unit, with a loft and soaring open-beam ceilings. It is on the 3rd floor without an elevator. This spacious condo has been recently updated with stone counter tops, new kitchen cabinets, tile floors, both bathrooms redone, and new bedroom furniture in both bedrooms, and new mattresses on all beds. There is a dining set for six inside, along with a dining table and chairs on the lanai. There are TV’s in both bedrooms and the living room. The living room and master bedroom both feature 65" 4K smart TVs, with a 55" in the 2nd bedroom. Incredible ocean views from the lanai with access from the living room and the primary bedroom. There is a King Bed in the primary bedroom, which also has an ensuite bathroom, a Queen Bed in the second bedroom, a King Bed in the loft, and a queen-size cabinet bed located in the living room.

This condo feels like home.

My family of 6 (4 to 74) had a wonderful 2 week stay at this property. Great views, great amenities, very responsive and helpful hosts, great location (close to beaches, restaurants, shopping, groceries). Place had everything one would expect of their own property - EXTREMELY well stocked with pool/ beach/ games/stationery/books/guides and brochures/utensils everything. Even had wet bag to hold phone wallet in water. We were very sad to leave and would 100% stay here again.

Location and property was incredible, our first time to Kona and this property made it extremely easy, nearly everything you need for the family and beach is already in the unit! Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone!

We loved everything about our stay in Hawaii. The location of this property is perfect, our kids enjoyed the pool, we watched sunsets from lava rocks, check in and communication with the host was easy and quick. We would certainly return again!

5.0
We have stayed at a few different condos in Hawaii and this our favorite. The condo itself was updated, well stocked with supplies, and comfortably fit seven of us (3 of which were kids).
The view from the 3rd floor lanai was something we enjoyed every night.
The location was perfect too. Close to the shops and restaurants in Kona so it was a quick drive or sometimes we walked there (about a mile).

Property was great. 2 weeks in a very well maintained complex and our accommodations were everything we needed. Our 2 bedromm was very well stocked woth a lot of extras that made the experience memorable. We will recommend to our friends and hopefully return with them.

There were 6 adults and 2 children staying in this condo. It was so wonderfully neat and tidy (we especially appreciated this after the condo we stayed in in Maui days before).
This condo had everything you needed for your stay, right down to some kids toys which my two girls were extremely happy about.
Check in process was easy because clear instructions were sent.
We enjoyed sitting on the lanai watching the ocean and the sunset. Even saw some whales!
100% recommend this condo. Location was also great!

Loved the location! Nice to have a pool and hot tub to relax in at the end of the day. It’s right on the beach but it’s all lava rock. Still beautiful!
Tap water tasted funny. Plan to buy water.
5.0
Beautiful grounds. Loved watching sunset as the water crashed against the rocks each night. Good location for traversing west side. Appreciated owners recs for food and beaches. Unit itself a bit dated and upstairs warm as people have said. Cooked in and ate on the lanai pretty often. Picked it because it has three separate bedrooms which was nice for our family.
5.0
Chad and Laurie were really helpful in providing detailed information about island beaches and favorite restaurants. They responded very quickly to my questions and were wonderful hosts. Instructions for arrival and departure were clear.
The condo is in a great location for day-trips to Volcanoes National Park and to Hilo for the waterfalls and very close to Kona for restaurants and shops. Lots of beautiful beaches to choose from and great snorkeling nearby. A++ for location!
The condo has a stunning view of the ocean splashing against the lava rocks below. A great grilling area, pool, hot tub, ping pong table and even a little lending library near the bar. The landscaping is beautiful and the area was very peaceful and quiet.
The condo itself had very comfortable beds and all the amenities we needed, including beach towels, a cooler, pool noodles, boogie boards, beach umbrellas and some snorkle gear (and more). The kitchen was well kitted out, which was great because we ate in a lot and could just venture down the stairs for an amazing sunset after dinner. There are air conditioning units, but we mostly just left the doors open at night to catch the breeze and listen to the ocean waves. I think the loft space was a little warm because of that, but my son said he slept fine.
Truly a a dream vacation - we would love to return some day! Would definitely stay here again if we had the chance! Thank you!

Laurie and Chad communicated with us prior to our trip. They answered any questions we had right away. They gave great instructions from getting the key to where to park to unload the van. There was a book with detailed instructions/information on the table when you walk in. Definitely, read through it when you arrive, it has all the rules.
Our family stayed five days on the Big Island before heading to Maui (we missed this condo at our new location). The condo was very well equipped with everything you may have needed. Especially, when you are coming from the mainland and unable to bring them. There were plenty of beach towels, chairs, and many other items to enjoy the beach. The condo was clean and nicely decorated. The grounds were well maintained and gorgeous. We saw whales and dolphins from the Lanai.
We knew from reading other comments the air conditioning was loud. However, we weren’t prepared for how loud but that’s the only complaint.
I would definitely recommend this condo to everyone. Also, it’s in a great location. Close to shops, restaurants and grocery stores.
Mahalo, Laurie and Chad!!!

We really enjoyed our stay! Everything was as described & clean. We travelled with our 3 children & my parents & there was enough room for everyone & we didn’t feel like we were squished. Loved being able to use the community grill for suppers! Enjoyed sitting in the deck chairs watching for whales & just relaxing & watching sunsets.

We enjoyed being so close to the beach! The views were amazing! And you can walk down to the shoreline very easily if you want to play in the water. It is located within walking distance of shopping and restaurants, which made it very convenient! The owners took great care of us, even after we checked out! I had left my phone in the room and didn't notice until we were already at the airport. Laurie found my phone and shipped it to me! I was so grateful! I highly recommend staying here if you plan on visiting Kona! Our vacation stay was truly magical!
5.0
The property was in a great location and the unit more than accommodated our needs! The washer and dryer took a while to wash even small loads, but everything else was awesome! The bummer was the pool was closed for renovations and we definitely could’ve used a pool! But, it all worked out! Would love to stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at this property. I wanted to be right on the water but within walking distance to the shops of Kona. The pictures posted here are just what to expect. We loved the chairs right by the water to watch the sunset and walk down on the rocks. Some people were fishing. We spent every morning on the lanai having coffee and reading and then having a beer at night. We slept with the windows open and the sounds of the waves put us to sleep. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials and the 2nd bedroom closet has all of your beach chairs, noodles, tennis rackets etc. Beach toys and a cooler are out on the patio by the main entrance. It was nice being on the top floor over looking the pool area, with a view of the ocean. We walked to the cafe down the road for coffee and smoothies. Entering and exiting the complex was easy and we almost always got a spot down near the condo. We even played tennis twice. The condo has family games, and books about the island. My go to was Big Island Revealed which helped me fine tune our plans. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Chad and Laurie for a wonderful stay.

Great location and views
Great property. Awesome views and sunsets. Condo had everything we needed and was very clean. The loft was great for extra space and vaulted ceilings. Feels very open. 100% recommended. Thank you.
5.0
Great location to explore the island and so close to Kona Village and shopping/restaurants. Large bedrooms with comfy beds, the updated kitchen, and relaxing pool area overlooking the ocean was a treat. Several nights we grilled and enjoyed our dinner watching the sunset
We had 7 adults In our group - There’s plenty of beds but not a huge living area, adequate I would say. Just keep that in mind if you have a larger group. We enjoyed our stay at the Kona Makai very much. Chad and Laurie are wonderful hosts, super helpful and accomadating. Highly recommend their place!

Myself and five of my family members stayed in this property. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed! Minutes away from downtown Kona. A quick walk to the lava rocks to soak in the sunrise or sunset. I absolutely would recommend this property to anyone.

We had a wonderful time staying here and would definitely stay again! There was plenty of room with the two bedrooms and the loft area. Everything was very clean and well put together. The AC units in the rooms worked well to come things off and there were fans everywhere too.
We had *everything* we could possibly need for our stay - beach gear, towels, guide books, games and activities for the kids (7 & 9yo), etc. The kitchen was well stocked which we really appreciated since we mostly stayed in to eat. Next time we come the kids want to play tennis.
The pool has pretty strict rules (no floaties, games, snorkel gear, etc), which is common for this part of Hawaii but motivated my family to get to the beach more rather than stay and play in the pool. We did do some tide pooling st the rocks in front of the complex.
Being within walking distance to the Green Flash cafe for morning coffee and smoothies was a perk.
I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends!
