About this apartment rental
Hawai’i is open and Kona is more beautiful than ever. We are using CDC cleaning guidelines. Our place has cleaned ductwork AND repaired and wonderfully cool AC. We have purchased new clothes washer and refrigerator. All we are missing is you! 2 Bedrooms and 2Bathrooms, means you and you friends or family will have comfort and privacy. (Sleeps 2-4) Almost everything in this condo is new. The beds are queens, one is pillow top and one is firm and are equipped with luxury high thread count linens. The couch is a queen foldout. There are two full bathrooms, one with a bathtub, for the convenience of your guests. This Condo has a fully equipped kitchen. There are two BBQ decks for grilling. We have snorkeling masks, fins and other beach equipment.
The lanai has a partial view of Kailua Bay and Kona town. The east bedroom has a window with a gorgeous view of Hualalai mountain, if you are an early riser. Great location near the ocean side of the condo but away from the noise of the nightclub/restaurant. One minute walk to the ocean where you can snorkel, fish, surf or swim.
Kona is a paradise for walkers/hikers. You can walk old airport beach and there is a Keiki (kids)swim beach nearby. Every morning you can walk down to the Pier or to several areas where the locals surf. The swim area used for the Ironman Triathlon is right across the street where you can swim the same route they do or just paddle around and look at the fish. SUP is popular and rentable near the pier. The Ahu’ena Heiau of King Kamehameha is on the other side of the Pier and looks as it did when the missionaries first arrived on this Island. There is a recreational and safe beach there also.
The site of this condo is right on the routes of Independence Day and Kamehameha’s birthday parades. It is front and center for the start and finish of the Ironman championship. There are street fairs and musical performances are common on the grounds of the Palace. The Kailua Bay is where King Kamehameha and other Hawaiian royalty chose to retire. You may want to too. In the morning you can see spinner dolphins offshore, and a little bit later you can watch the deep sea fishermen offload, or the cruise ship set off. If you want more civilized activities, the restaurants and clubs are outstanding. The old palace is right across the street where they offer native arts and music as well as tours. You are next door to the first church built in the Hawaiian islands, a beautiful lava stone structure with Koa wood interior. After touring, there is a cooling salt water pool on grounds and covered, secured parking.
The Big island is the best for active vacationers. It has everything from a live volcano to an active truck and rodeo crowd. You can beach bum, snorkel, scuba or zipline and ride horses. You can even go hunting here, deep sea fish, watch the stars from a huge telescope and snow ski down a volcano. The Big Island can be your paradise.

Location in Kona was very good. AC works well, fully stocked home with much of what you'd need. Clean condo and the owner is very nice. She communicated well and was great to work with. Only down side is not much ocean view and view from patio is of the back of buildings. That was not a big deal for us, and the patio was very spacious. Would stay again.

The condo was everything in the description and more. This was our first time taking the kids to Hawaii and we wanted a central location on Ali'i Dr so they could go walk around by themselves if they wanted. It was a perfect location! The condo was well stocked, beds were comfortable, the AC was phenomenal, the lanai was amazing! Loved the cute kitchen, where we prepared at least one meal per day. We will definitely return to this condo in the future!

We enjoyed our stay! The location was exactly what we wanted. Right in the middle of shops and restaurants. The size of the condo was perfect for us. We loved the balcony! Just a few minor things...the couches and chairs are very worn. The bathrooms are very small, which is totally fine. I just wish there were shelves for toiletries and cosmetics. Neither bed was very comfortable. Lastly, the dryer takes hours to dry the smallest of loads. Overall, we were happy and would stay there again.

This condo was the perfect retreat! It had the best location in Kona, parking was on site and free, and it had equipment for snorkeling and the beach!! The owner answered all communications quickly. The beds were very comfortable; kitchen was well equipped; and washer and dryer were in the unit!! Thx for sharing your piece of paradise with us!!

I was very happy with this property. Everything is in walking distance with some shops being on the garage level of the condo. The place was very clean and quiet with three working A/C units including one in each bedroom. Our group loved the large outdoor patio and the included onsite parking.

Totally happy with this unit and what it offered

The property was just as described. The only issue we found was that the floor was not as clean as expected and we found the bottoms of our feet continuously getting dirty. So even though we were asked to not wear shoes in the apartment, we kept a clean pair of sandals in the apt to walk around in. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed the premises. The closeness of the apt to the center of Kona was a treat as we were able to walk to all of our favourite restaurants, stores, attractions.

Good position, car parking,good facilities in unit
Owner replied promptly when thought might have an issue

Nice clean and convenient condo for our family group. Kitchen is small but adequate, lanai was a favorite spot for relaxing and the pool a nice break from ocean swimming. Easy walk to the main drag with lots of tourist stuff and decent eateries. Small beach was only a couple blocks away. Open air farmer's market a real plus and the Catholic Church another short walk for Sunday Mass. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable retreat that is an easy drive from airport and a good launching spot for all the sightseeing treats afforded by this beautiful island.

The location of this unit can't be beat. You are literally in the middle of everything - cafes, bars, restaurants, historical buildings, beaches.
This unit is in an older building, but I found it to be much nicer than the VRBO pictures show. We especially loved the very large lanai.
One of the things I hadn't considered before booking this unit is how hot it gets in town. Having mini-splits in the living room and both bedrooms made this unit an oasis to the heat of the late afternoon and early evening.
Patti, the owner, is really responsive and caring about your stay here.
I can not think of anything negative to say. This place is wonderland in all respects, our stay could not have been better and Patti's place is a great value for the money.

This is a nice place to stay in a great location. Very close to restaurants, bars, and shopping. A short walk to the bay/pier. There was some initial confuse on the maid service prior to our arrival but we were able to work matters out to everyone’s satisfaction.

Patricia is a super host for a reason, she kept in touch with me, provided very clear check in instructions and I really enjoyed the condo and the location. The pool needs to be cleaned but that is not on the host or related to the condo.
I felt safe in the building and in using the walkway from the parking garage to the shopping and the ocean. I highly recommend this condo. The location is awesome, close to everything.

Property was exactly as described. Was very well stocked with dishes / cutlery / cookware. as well as some essential cooking items like butter, spices, condiments. There was also a good stock of toiletries and laundry pods. Lots of beach gear too, we made good use of beach towels and boogie boards.
The size of the lanai was impressive - plenty of room to eat, stretch, lie beach wear out to dry.
Parking was a breeze, no issues accessing the garage. Pool area well kept, and no issues accessing with the security key provided.
A/C, laundry machines, all easy to operate. No maintenance issues encountered.
Easy access to the main roads by car and by foot, we enjoyed walking both directions along the oceanfront road.
For those that need to know, the mattresses are on the soft side. For our kids that was zero impact but the adults in our party prefer a firmer mattress.
Would happily stay again if returning to the Big Island. Mahalo!

Nice and quiet complex.

I would definitely recommend this property.

Very nice condo in perfect location for touring Big Island. While the bedrooms and baths are small, they were perfect because our time was spent touring. We would certainly seek this property on another trip. The hosts were so nice to stay in contact with us.

It is in an older building with permanent and vacationing renters. It is easy access from airport, Costco, Safeway and up and down main roads to rest of island. Mostly city sights from balcony. It is just a building away from the main road along the beach. Appears very safe; however many homeless in the area. Apartment was very clean until we brought in the sand despite our vain attempts to prevent this. I appreciated the two bathrooms for 4 adults. Kitchen was well equipped. I was able to contact the owner quickly when I needed. I would stay here again.
4.8
Loved having two bathrooms in the unit. Unit was nicely stocked. Bedding looked tired and worn, and pillows and mattresses were not comfortable. The listing states steps from the beach and that was a bit of a stretch. Overall it was fine just expect more for the price.

The condo was very clean and looked just like the pictures. We also liked the the rooms had USB chargers.

Patti was a delight to work with. I feel like we very much got our money’s worth at this place. Accommodations were very comfortable and it’s in a great location. We’d stay there again.

The location is perfect. Just walk down from the apartment, and it gives you access one of the happening places in Kona. The apartment is wonderful, with everything you need to take care of your family.

We spent a month at this great condo. We did not rent a car until the last two days. We walked, Ubered, took bus tours and used the free shuttle. This condo is clean, comfortable, and close to everything! Patti, the owner, is wonderful to work with and attentive to any problems.
We loved our time there and did not want to leave. We highly recommend it!

Very nice condo

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The location is so handy to many restaurants and the beach is a short walk away. There's an awesome Safeway store that is within walking distance too (a little uphill walk on the way but an easy walk back). The parking in the basement is great and there are always lots of spots available. The closets in the bedrooms are large and the many hangers were much appreciated. Kitchen has everything you need. The lanai is huge, and we enjoyed eating some meals out there along with sipping cocktails. The air conditioning was much appreciated. The only suggestion I would make is to add a couple beach chairs and a beach umbrella. We ended up renting a couple chairs. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Just a wonderful stay at a great property in Kona. Mahalo!

We had an amazing time. Close to attractions and shopping, with restaurants and the beach close by. Easy access to highways for travel to other parts of island. Clean and well maintained with lots of extras that can be used to snorkel and enjoy the beaches. Will definitely be back to visit.

I would rent this place again! Great location.

Nice space in unit, actually made my
Wife and I say condo living might not be that bad. Left over condiments such as olive oil and ketchup came in handy. Everything you would need was at the property for trips to the beach. Walking to shopping, driving to the grocery store was all a breeze.
