Great place, nice location
Condo is as described in the listing. Great place to explore the Island from. The closest beach is about a 10 minute walk away, many restraunts and a farmers market within walking distance. Only drawback is the living room furniture is not very comfortable, but didn't spend much time there anyways.

Wonderful place to stay in Kona
Very nice condo. We enjoyed our stay very much. Short walk to numerous shops and restaurants with the ocean all along the route. The owner left numerous containers of coffee plus cream in the fridge. We definitely would want to stay there if we come back to Kona.

Living like a local
If you want luxury, go to Waikaloa. If you want to feel like you are privileged to stay in Kona like a local, this is the place. The condo is so well appointed: equipped beach closet, lanai dining, upper deck bbqs with great views, kitchen supplies were perfect. The furniture is beautiful, comfortable and lets you never forget you’re on vacation in Kona! The pool seemed small until we got in it: we were always the only one’s in it. It is quiet and peaceful. We didn’t rent a car, we were content to walk everywhere: grocery, ali’i drive, restaurants, beach, shopping. Lyfts and taxi were easy. It comes with a free parking space, our friends spent 25 and 50 a day for their parking. Katt communicated every detail and was very responsive to all questions. This is an affordable, well above average Kona condo. We will tell all of our Alaska friends that this is the place! Mahalo!

Fantastic condo in the heart of Kona!
My husband and I stayed here for a week and this condo was perfect for our needs, and the best vacation rental we've ever stayed at in Kona (we've stayed in a few). Katt, the owner, communicated details perfectly and has included a lot of extras that really made our stay even more enjoyable, and easier. The condo was very clean, very close to grocery shopping, restaurants, and beaches. We'd love to come back some time!

Centrally Located
Beautifully modernized and updated condo that is centrally located to Kona shopping and restaurants. We walked to dinner nightly to watch the sunset at the Kona Inn and Huggo's. Kona has beautiful sunsets. Our only complaint was that the beach chairs and beach towels need to be updated. Costco sells nice quality beach towels for $ 10 and full size beach chairs. These were so uncomfortable the we cut our beach day short. Overall a very nice condo and would totally recommend.

Suitable for a Honeymoon
We chose Kona as the place to celebrate our honeymoon. This unit was chosen due to its location/proximity to features that were nearby, and it provided us the opportunity to explore the town on foot. The underground garage set our minds at ease for security and safety. Our biggest surprise was how nicely appointed the unit was. Not only good taste and contemporary appointments, but really thoughtful "extras" such as a first aid kit, and sun screen. It conveyed a feeling that we were genuinely being "hosted", and not just provided a place to stay. The stay will forever color our thoughts and memories of Kona, and the very special time in our lives that brought us there.

Great stay!
The vrbo was perfect for us. It had everything we needed. The location was the best part! We could literally walk down a short path and be on Ali’i. We were able to walk to restaurants, shops, and beaches. There was beach equipment too which was great. we loved it!

GREAT Condo in the heart of Kona
Very clean 1BDR Condo as advertised in the pictures. The view from the condo overlooks the pool area. To see the ocean you can use the BBQ area's on level 3 or 4. The grills in each BBQ area clean and in good working order. The entire complex is very clean. We selected this condo/location specifically for Ironman 2022. It was the best! You are only .25 mile from the start/finish of the Ironman race. During the 2022 Ironman event we watched the final run to the finish on Alli Drive and walked up to Kuakini Hwy to watch biking & running. You are so close to the "hot corner's" and in the middle of everything Ironman. The Ironman Village is less than .25 mile as well. This condo is close to both a Safeway and Walmart for groceries or anything you may have forgotten to pack. If you rented a car, it stays safe in a gated underground parking garage. The contact for this condo was very responsive to all questions.

Great location in the heart of Kona
We stayed here 17 nights while I was working remotely during the weeks and on “vacation” on the weekends. This unit has been renovated and it’s pleasant to stay here. There was plenty of internet bandwidth for video conferencing or streaming Netflix, Hulu, etc with your own Roku or Fire TV. Probably the best thing about this unit is the location. There are tons of restaurants and bars within a short walk. There’s even beaches and snorkeling within reach without driving. Summary: Pros - - great location right by the 200 year old church. - bbq grill on the fourth floor with a great view of the water and the church. We used this almost daily for lunch and only saw another person once. (We grilled for lunch on Pacific time so it was around 9am). - recently renovated unit with nice bathroom and kitchen - the owner is VERY responsive and was amazing to work with the few times we experienced minor issues. - the unit is nicely equipped with all the kitchenware and bathroom supplies most people would need. - central air in this unit is much better than window A/C units that only cool one room and are noisier. The central air went out twice during our stay but the owner was able to get the condo complex to fix quickly both times. Cons: - there’s really no view from this unit. I mention this because for this price range a view of the ocean is available. A colleague of mine stayed in another Kona Plaza unit in the same floor and had a decent view for about $40 less per night (his unit was otherwise not as nice, however). - if you are working remotely, you may need to supply your own desk and office chair as the furniture in the unit is not really suitable for this purpose. It was no big deal for me as I keep an office chair and folding table (I use for a desk) in offsite storage between trips. - water pressure in the shower could be a bit stronger, but it was not too bad. - small main TV (for the space) that was difficult to view in the daylight. No big deal because who goes to Hawaii to watch TV? But I mention because it’s an easy fix. - no tv in the bedroom. Again no biggy, but an easy fix and available in most other units at this price point.
