Kona Makai 1-301 DIRECT OCEANFRONT, TOP FLOOR, BEST CORNER IN KONA MAKAI!

Kona Makai #1-301 is arguably the BEST condo in the entire complex! Being the top floor corner in building 1, the location is undeniably too perfect. Private & upgraded, this is direct oceanfront condo living at its finest. You can't get a better view than this at the Kona Makai. The amazing oceanfront wrap around lanai is truly stunning!

The amazing view is not all that this condo has to offer; the elegant finishes and attention to detail can be seen throughout the interior of the property. Enjoy the beautifully upgraded & fully stocked kitchen complete with granite counter tops & stainless steel appliances. The master bedroom has ocean views and access to the wrap around lanai. The guest bedroom also has access to the wrap around lanai and both bedrooms do have AC units allowing for maximum comfort! Both bathrooms have been upgraded and well appointed.

Wonderful Lanai

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Had a great vacation and this condo was a big part of it. Spent lots of time on the wraparound lanai: coffee and breakfast in the morning and wine at sunset. The kitchen was very well stocked and the decor was nice. Management company was very helpful and always responded quickly.The unit could use a little refresh and the air conditioners in the bedrooms were loud and not very loud efficient. No air conditioning in the living area.All in all this was a great condo, with lots of amenities

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: The Kona Makai 1-301 was the perfect location to stay for the Ironman World Championship. Being close enough to walk to the starting line and events but far enough away to not have crowds along Al'i Drive. The family was about to stay at the condo most of the day and saw the runners several times along the course. The ocean views were incredible. No issues during the week long stay.

Beautiful Ocean Front Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The wrap around lanai is the most wonderful feature of this property. Our family spent countless hours watching the waves hit the rocks. The condo is well stocked with everything we could need and was clean. It could use a bit of a refresh with paint and linens, but really we came for the view. We would definitely stay again! Thanks for having us!

We absolutely loved the location, with the waves to the feet of the apartment.... Sleeping with the sound of the waves was just incredible. Talking of waves, it’s the only sound we hear, the complex is very quiet. Should we come back to Big island? This apartment is definitely a place we’ll want to rent again!

Each bedroom has its own bathroom. They both have wonderful views with access to the huge lanai. The lanai is what sets this unit apart. We enjoyed breakfast every morning on the lanai & every night we had dinner while viewing amazing sunsets! The location is close to town which we liked also. We contacted the management company a couple times with questions & they responded quickly. We would highly recommend this unit & we hope to return for another wonderful stay!

It was memorable experience - you go to sleep and wake up with the sound of waves. The unit was clean and well managed. The air conditioning is enough for Hawaiian property - we actually had to turn it off in August nights as the overhead fan is enough for the temperature. Very comfortable living, and convenient to Kona shopping.
