About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Kona Condo: Steps to Ocean, Surf, Pool, Hot Tub

Wake up near the sound of waves crashing less than 100 yards away and enjoy a comfortable, well-equipped Kona condo in a cozy, family-feeling complex across the street from the ocean. This is a great home base between downtown Kona and Keauhou, close to beaches, snorkeling, surfing, local food, and everyday conveniences.

KEEP IT REAL: This is a cozy smaller complex with a family feeling. It is not a fancy resort.

View: This is not an ocean-view unit. The condo faces a wooded area.

Noise: You may hear waves, island roosters, occasional cars, and sometimes neighboring guests. This is a condo, so some shared-wall noise is possible.

Bugs: We are on a tropical island. Even with regular cleaning and care, you may occasionally see ants or other island bugs.

The condo is located across the street from the ocean and tucked away behind Ali‘i Drive in a quiet, family-oriented complex. You are close to the action, but still able to relax.

Not what is pictured! We are pretty easy going people and have stayed at a few other places on the Big Island, but this unit was unacceptable. This unit is rundown. Bed sheets were not clean. Couch was not the one pictured, it was old and not clean. AC drips onto the hallway floor, light was not working in the bathroom. Shower was luke warm at best. Towels were old. There are homeless people living out of their vehicles across from the lanai. Host did not respond to my concerns. Will not return!

Great air conditioning, responsive host, kitchen was well set up. I wish there was aluminum foil or zip lock bags or something like that already here. I appreciated all of tge beach stuff tgat was here to borrow! Bed was a little too soft for me, but my daughter liked it.Only major drawback was the dang rooster. He crows from 5am-9am. So if you're a light sleeper, don't choose the master bedroom. Beach across the road was a nice place to check out. Overall a really wonderful experience. Thank you!!

Convinient Location to the best Kona Beaches & Great space for a family!

Awesome location, the communal pool is AMAZING with a beautiful Koi pond nearby. Spaced to BBQ outside and a fully furnished kitchen! Super close to surfing and some of the best beaches, easy to run down Ali'i drive!

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the property. The pool and outdoor community space were very nice. We had an assigned parking space right near our entrance which was nice to have since we had a car. Check in and out we're easy. There is grocery shopping about 10 minutes away and some local shops near by. Several food options near by as well. There was plenty of space for our family of 5. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. We did find the place to not be well cleaned overall, there was hair in one of the showers, a spray bottle lid on the floor, and the kitchen unwiped. While we didn't find the place to be overly noisy the walls seemed a little thin, you could hear people talking and walking around on the upper levels.

Good Homebase for visit to the Big Island

We enjoyed our stay at Ying’s condo. Ying and Bridget were very attentive and quick to respond for needs of a few missing supplies. The condo was well stocked with dishes, towels, beach supplies, bathroom essentials, etc. The location was central for beach, shopping, and going north or south on the Island. It was nice to have a close parking spot and only about 5 steps to the 2nd floor. And the koi pond area was nice. We used the bbq and table down in the community area to watch the sunsets. It was a bit cramped for 4 adults. The tv area could use another comfortable seat or 2. We cooked most meals and the kitchen was tight for more than 2 people. Note that the doors are slatted on the bedrooms and hall bathroom which can be awkward if you’re traveling with another couple. Our biggest issue however was the flock of roosters next to the complex. Husband suggests you bring earplugs as they roost and crow in the trees right next to the master bedroom but were heard clearly and loudly in the far bedroom. This is not something Ying can do anything about, but it is an annoyance at 3 in the morning.

Perfect Base for Kona Adventure

The owner was a great with communication about check-in/-out, and ideas for things to do, restaurants, etc. The location was great for driving or even walking anywhere. The Kona shuttle bus was nearby as well. Even the small rocky beach across the streat was a fun place to go read, relax and take a dip. It was a quick drive to Kailua or other Island locations. The apartment was well equipped for the kitchen (great knives!!!) and beach gear. The pool area was a great place to relax and grill dinner, too.

Thanksgiving gettaway

We are a family of 4 from Honolulu and this was our first time to Kona. The unit was in a good location and was nice and spacious. A/C worked great and we don’t have central A/C in our house so it was a real treat. We cooked an entire Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen. Having the master bathroom with big shower was super nice. Having the box of pool/beach toys was a nice touch. Our 15 year old and 2 year old loved the pool which was clean and a good temp. The only annoyance on the trip was the roosters in the woods nearby which start crowing at 4:30am! Overall we really enjoyed and would stay here again. The unit really is big and open and has a comfy feel.

Perfect family getaway!

Our family stayed at this condo and it was perfect! The condo came equipped with all of the essentials and more. The location is just a quick drive from downtown Kona and there is so much to do. We did have 1 issue with one of the slider doors and they came and fixed it the next day! The kids loved the pool and seeing the occasional kitty visiting the property. We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again in the future!
