About this property

Fantastic Beautiful Ocean front sunset Views Remodeled free parking WIFI

Kona Makai is a beautiful ocean front complex with beautifully maintained gardens right on the Ocean with dolphin, whale watching. Very quiet complex with private tennis court, free parking, free WIFI. Great pool area on the ocean with spa, ping pong, fully equipped fitness room and BBQ. On the Iron Man Triathalon path. Ground Floor unit for easy access - elevated lanai for views. Bldg 5 is just up from pool and away from road noise, North/South facing for dark cooler morning bedroom, indirect sunlight in living area. Quiet concrete building doesn't transfer noise from other units. Great location, easy access and close to town and beaches.
Great
Brand new 2022 Remodel includes all new floor tile thru out, new panel blinds, new blackout curtains, new bathroom vanity, sink, toilet, walk-in rain shower with seat and hand nozzle. New ninja smoothie and drink maker and food processor. Well stocked with replenished furniture, towels, bedding, kitchenware, ice chest, snorkels, beach items.

The TV in the living room is hooked to cable and even though it is a smart TV we suggest just using that one for cable with the spectrum controller. It gets a little complicated for some to switch back-and-forth. There is a brand new smart fire TV in the bedroom and that one kept internet and games only - it’s not hooked to cable. It’s a smart TV, you have to have a free Amazon account for the fire box controller. You can set up for access and download the apps for whatever you’re watching at home all those Internet apps like Netflix or YouTube or there’s a host of them or connect your own HDMI or USB devices.

Tile floors, fans and AC keep it cool. Hair dryer, iron and ironing board are provided. Snorkel fins, peach gear boogie boards are in the closet, but snorkel gear is subject to use and not regularly replenished. Most buy or rent . Costco or Walmart have reasonable prices and some leave it here.

Two lanais, one with ocean view allow trade wind to flow thru-cooler,nice outside sitting.

Tennis court requires getting the key and returning the key to the HOA manager office, which is just a couple doors down but plan for the weekend because they’re not the end on the weekend. There are a few tennis rackets, but you’ll probably need better balls.

Beautiful snorkeling reefs right at the property with access (except in high surf). Watch dolphins,sunsets and whales from the property.

Very convenient ~ 1 mile walk or 2 minute drive to town and well known restaurants . On the bus/trolley route. Five minutes from famous snorkeling beach with sea wall, lifeguard and sea turtles. Enjoy shopping in town and the open market.

Volcano National Park is a great day trip. Pu'uhonua o Hōnaunau National Park is only 30 min and best snorkeling at 2 step a short walk outside the park.

Nice place right on the ocean
The condo is in a great location for exploring both north and south. Clean, fully stocked kitchen, nice pool area with bbq grills by the ocean. We were able to watch whales and dolphins from the lawn chairs. There was a bunch of beach gear, but wouldn’t count on the snorkeling equipment (guests had obviously not taken care of it). There were a bunch of tennis rackets and balls too. The complex is very quiet. We had a great stay!

Home Away From Home
This comfortable, conveniently located condo is your ideal place to stay when in Kona. It had everything you needed to make your own meals if you wished. It’s really close to Kona if you wanted to go out. The pool was a perfect size with lots of lounge chairs. The unit had plenty of air flow to keep cool and a brand new A/C unit was replaced in the bedroom. We really appreciated the quick action from owner Janet to get that done as soon as we alerted her that it wasn't working. Great communication for checking in and to address any concerns we had. We will definitely be returning!

Anniversary Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at the Kona Makai unit. The property is very nicely maintained, and full of beautiful lush gardens. It backs onto the shore & listening to the waves was very relaxing. The unit was very clean and very well stocked. You have everything you need there to prepare your own meals including lawn chairs, The lanai is shaded & we enjoyed sitting out there having our breakfast most mornings. The location is good & is only about 1.5 miles from the center of Kona. It was an ideal location for exploring the Big Island.We would certainly recommend this vacation rental

A great stay in Kona
We really enjoyed this unit in Kona Makai. It was very clean and had a good setup for a small family with all the kitchen stuff included. It is close to town and not too far from the best beaches. All the amenities were as advertised. We would gladly stay here again.

This is my 4th trip to Kona Makai, and the 4th different condo I’ve stayed in. Each has been clean, well cared for, and had the view as advertised. The grounds at magnificent, with a fabulous tropical garden. The pool is delightful, and the patio area is excellent.

Why they chose this property

After doing all the islands, Kona has the best weather. Not much wind and rain. Plus it still has a small town atmosphere. I have enjoyed the Kona Makai since it was new, coming with my parents. I bought and have maintained a vacation unit since 1998. I enjoy coming regularly to ensure maintenance, updates and replenishing is done.
