Highly recommended oceanview property in Kona!

This place was fabulous. Quiet even with all the nearby restaurants, was decorated very nicely, had amazing balcony views, was immaculate upon arrival, boasts lots of great space, had a fully stocked kitchen, had lots of beach gear available, and everything-and I mean everything-was automated, including all the shades throughout the unit. Could not have been happier staying here, and would not think twice about staying again if/when we ever return. Mahalo!!

Ali’i Paradise

First, the photos did not do it justice the condo was much better. Second, great views, bedrooms and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The couple of times we needed small items the Kona Vacations contacts immediately provided. Third, the TV app took a little getting use to but we all quickly adjusted. Finally, and most importantly all owners and long term renters we met in the breezeways, elevator and pool area were very welcoming. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. We will return.

Amazing space and view!

This top floor condo unit has been beautifully renovated, with all needed amenities. So your stay will be comfortable. Then, there’s the view! Pictures of the view are accurate, and you will not be disappointed. My kids were very impressed and super excited to use the telescope. I enjoyed my coffee every morning on the balcony taking in the view and listening to the waves. Restaurants are in east walking distance. Covered Parking for this unit was very nice as well.

Amazing Penthouse Condo w Sweeping Views of Kona

We stayed at the Kona Alii #705 and, let me tell you, this unit is amazing. Two full bedrooms, each with a full bath and air conditioning units that are quiet and work well. There is also an AC in the living room. The view from this unit is INCREDIBLE, and there is an expensive spotting scope that we used to see whales and dolphins. The woodwork in this unit is amazing -- from the floors, to the custom pocket doors upstairs, to all of the custom closets, drawers, and cabinets throughout. The furniture in the living room and even the lanai is comfortable and lovely, but there isn't so much that the place is crowded. It will take you a few days to figure out the lights, showers, etc... because it is all high-tech and fancy. Although we didn't use them, there are 3 high-end televisions and even iPods with music! The laundry room has been redone and includes not only top of the line washer/dryer, but a utility sink where you can rinse your snorkels and beach shoes! The kitchen is clean, beautiful, and functional. I liked the pots so much that I'm buying a set for home. The building is safe, clean, and within walking distance to dozens of restaurants, shops, and the King Kam beach. The staircase is steep, and not appropriate for small children and people w difficulty w mobility. But there is a bedroom downstairs and this building has 2 working elevators. The parking space for this unit is on the lower level, which is both convenient and keeps you dry when it is raining. Win!

Beautiful Accomadations

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Kona Alii in early March 2016. The accomodations were beautiful. I see the picture in the description and still can picture me sitting there. You can tell the people who own it care for it and the people they rent it to. They have a very nice MAC computer there to use (thank you). They have maps and guidebooks for the islands there. We very much enjoyed our stay there. Our only disappointment was in needing to contact the vacation company prior to going as we still had not received instructions or directions by the day we arrived. We had gotten an email several weeks earlier telling us to expect another email but never got the follow up. Fortunately, it wasn't difficult getting in touch with them and they forwarded the email to my smartphone. Also, for the last two days our code wouldn't work to get to the elevator but fortunately the key to the pool area also worked for this. All in all a very nice time. I would go back. I would certainly recommend this particular unit. Thank you for what you put into it to help us feel relaxed and enjoy our stay even more.

Gorgeous Condo in a Perfect Setting

Overall, the condo was perfect for us. The location was centrally located, making everything in Kona within walking distance. The kitchen was well-equipped with lots of appliances & nice utensils. The fridge was big with filtered water and fresh ice every day. The TV in the living room was perfect as we were able to sign into our streaming services. The music system is wired to work throughout the condo and lanai. The lanai is the absolute gem of the place. We spent so much time out there enjoying the breathtaking view of Kailua Bay. The condo also has 2 boogie boards, 4 beach chairs, 4 beach towels, 2 umbrellas, sand toys, and pool noodles. The bedrooms were perfect with very comfortable beds. A few more blankets would have been great. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. There was TP, soap and shampoo there - enough to last a few days, but no conditioner. The pool was perfect - beautiful setting and nice temperature. We used it a few times and enjoyed the challenge of walking up 7 flights of stairs afterward. The only real complaint we had was the door lock. It is a combination pad only - no key. The combination is set remotely by the property management company. You get yours a few days before you check in. When my husband and I went food shopping on our second day, our 12 year old wanted to stay in the condo alone. He stays alone at home frequently. We told him not to open the door for anyone and we’d be home soon. He had the address and knew what to do in case of an emergency. As we're halfway through our food shopping trip, our phones are blowing up with frantic messages saying we need to get home now! Apparently, the condo’s maintenance man knocked on the door and wouldn’t leave. I called the management company and told them to have him leave immediately. We rushed back to the condo to find out that the man let himself inside with his own code. Thankfully he left, but when I spoke to the management company, they explained that many people have codes to get inside – vendors, maintenance people, the building management, the owner, etc. The management company was very apologetic and agreed to wipe all codes from the door lock except ours and theirs. The owner also apologized profusely and compensated us satisfactorily. Overall, the place and our stay was incredible. I added this story because the experience soured the start of our trip and as a mom, I think it would have been nice to know how the lock works before our stay.

Kona Ali’i 705

We rented Kona Ali’i 705 over the 2022 Christmas holiday. The condo is very nice. High-end appliances and finishes. Very clean. Well-equipped kitchen. The views from the condo are outstanding. Location is great for easy walk to shopping and restaurants. Very convenient for both walkers and runners. Mornings on the lanai drinking coffee, watching the sunrise, waves, surfers, swimmers, SUP and paddle boarders, spinner dolphins, and people out and about. Since the condo is West facing, awesome sunset every night. The starry nights (and early mornings) were spectacular. The fans and lights on the lanai truly came in handy. The condo is on the top floor so the view is great, street noise was minimal, and you can still hears the crashing waves. The A/C in every room was excellent. The high-end TVs, cable, and Sonos sound system throughout was a big plus (read the provided instructions). The beds, bedding, and towels were all in excellent condition. We loved that everything in the condo was labeled! The covered, dedicated parking spot eliminated any parking anxiety. The condo building and grounds felt very secure. The few condo residents we did encounter were very pleasant. The pool area looked very nice, clean, and plenty of lounge chairs, but we did not utilize it this time around. The check-in and check-out process was flawless. The communication and directions from the management company was excellent. We will definitely put this condo on the list to revisit.

Amazing stay for a family in Kona!

Inside was absolutely PERFECT! We loved the space and would highly recommend for any family. For my husband and 2 children, this was a great option right off the main strip of Kona. Easy walking distance to everything with a great view. My only area of complaint was that the outside, walking up was a little rough. We were all a bit nervous walking up for the first time. But don't let the outside fool you. Inside is great. Also the frontage road can be a bit noisy. We were on the 7th floor and could still hear loud motorcycles and cars even with the windows closed. But obviously nothing you can do about that. A++ and I can't wait to come back!

Wonderful Kona Village Condo

This Kona Coast Vacation property was the ideal vacation location to enjoy Kona. The condo was beautifully designed and furnished. The accommodations are extremely comfortable and functional. The AC, motorized shades, ceiling fans and lighting enabled the optimal comfort while enjoying the ocean views and sounds. The host was very responsive, pleasant and professional. It was a pleasant surprise to see that beach chairs, a cooler and beach umbrella were available for our seaside outings. It is evident that the host has thoughtfully provided amenities for vacationers to enjoy Kona to the fullest. Mahalo to the host for providing this exceptional accommodation.

Best condo EVER

We’ve stayed in many condos on the Big Island and Maui. This condo was amazing! The pool was better than I expected and not busy which was nice. The unit was beautiful!! As I woke in bed I could see the sun rising over the hill. The roof top lanai was the best place to sunbathe and very private. The front lanai had a beautiful view. Even the couch in the living room exceeded our expectations. Surround sound music was also a nice treat. Walked all over Kona everyday. Thank you for the stay and we hope we’ll be able to book it again soon.
