Wake up each morning to a gorgeous view of Kona Town, rustling palms, and the sparkling ocean horizon at this third-floor escape in the Kalanikai Condos. This is an island haven for lounging poolside, exploring the town on foot, and taking in spectacular nightly sunsets from your private, shaded lanai.

This condo is the perfect escape for those who want to leave their car behind (in the assigned parking space provided). Within a half-mile stroll, you'll find the Kona Farmers Market, Kailua Pier, wonderful restaurants, several markets for your grocery needs, and a number of shops and recreational outfitters. When it's time to hit the beach (with the provided boogie boards, beach chairs, and umbrella in tow), Keiki Beach, Kailua Beach, and Honl's Beach are all within one mile.

Begin each morning with a mug of Kona coffee, an alfresco breakfast, and a panoramic view outside on your lanai. Save the rest of the day for relaxing downstairs, whether you're taking a dip in the outdoor pool or barbecuing in the grilling and picnic area.

Inside, a mirrored entryway leads into a bright, open, and breezy living space, where you can bask in the comfort of air conditioning or slide open the floor-to-ceiling lanai doors to let in the fragrant, tropical breeze. It's a space equipped with every comfort, including a kitchen with updated appliances, both a breakfast bar and a glass-top dining table, and a cable TV for nightly movies. There's a second TV (with Chromecast only) in the bedroom to lull you to sleep.

Additional features include a washer/dryer to refresh your swimsuits and beach towels nightly and complimentary WiFi throughout.

I didn't use the pool. The location is close to Kona town with a 5-7 minute walk. Disappointed to find a noisy busy street right outside. Made enjoying the lanai impossible. That info should have been put in the property description on the vrbo website. I can see why it wasn't.

It was very clean and was centric to go walking to the Ali Drive where there are many shops and restaurants. The ocean was right there and supermarket was close. We were 3 people and found it very spacious. Super recommended!

My family and I had a wonderful stay here. Short walk to the beach and restaurants. House was clean and well kept. 3rd floor with no elevators wasn’t an issue at all for my family (9 month old and 3 year old). Would definitely stay here again

The condo was very clean, easy to find and walkable to restaurants and the markets just as described. Some days the three flights of stairs were rough after a long day out. Also, we found the neighbors were not very friendly. If you are on a budget I would recommend this place.

My wife and I had just a few days in Kona and this place was great for our short stay. It was very clean and stocked with plenty of kitchenware. There is also a closet full of beach goods so we didn't have to buy anything. The best part was being within a short walk to the Safeway/Longs shopping center and the restaurants, stores, etc. of historic Ali'i Drive.
