About this property
Summary:
Walk out for Kona coffee, browse Aliʻi Drive, and be back by the pool before the afternoon heat settles in. This one-bedroom Kalanikai condo sleeps four and puts historic downtown, the beach, restaurants, groceries, and local shops close by. Inside, surf-inspired details set an easy island tone, while the full kitchen, air conditioning, washer and dryer, and private outdoor space make longer stays comfortable too. Use the community grill for a casual dinner or save your appetite for the restaurants around town. Kailua Pier and Kailua Bay are nearby for harbor views, boats, and an easy beach stop. This is the kind of base that lets a small family or couple leave the car parked and follow the day as it comes in central Kailua-Kona.
The Space:
This one-bedroom, one-bath condo sleeps four and brings a casual Kona feel indoors with surfboard-inspired decor. The full kitchen makes breakfasts and beach snacks simple, while air conditioning, a washer and dryer, and private outdoor space add the comforts that matter on a longer stay. Return from Aliʻi Drive for a pool break, then use the community grill for dinner.
Guest Access:
Guests at Kalanikai have access to the shared pool, outdoor seating area, and gas grill. This central Kailua-Kona condo is close to Aliʻi Drive, downtown shops, restaurants, and the beach.
The Neighborhood:
Kalanikai sits near the center of Kailua-Kona, close to historic Aliʻi Drive and its mix of coffee stops, casual restaurants, stores, and ocean views. Kailua Bay and Kailua Pier are nearby for a beach walk, harbor watching, or an ocean outing. The Kona Farmers Market is also within easy reach for local fruit and snacks. For bigger beach time, Magic Sands and Kahaluʻu Beach Park are a short drive south. It is a convenient, walkable neighborhood for travelers who want Kona town at their doorstep.
Getting Around:
Kona International Airport is about 10 to 15 minutes away, making arrival simple. A rental car is recommended so you can explore the Kona Coast at your own pace. Downtown Kailua-Kona's shops, restaurants, and oceanfront Ali'i Drive are often within walking distance or a short drive, with beaches, snorkeling spots, and grocery stores close by. Parking is generally available on site or nearby, whether street or lot.

Great location, calm, safe stay!
We loved our stay in Kona. The location is a quick walk to the shops and made getting snorkel gear at Boss Frog super easy.With picky eaters, a full kitchen was a must. It was great being able to prepare food with ease and the kids loved having a swim while dad grilled.Things to keep in mind: it is an older building, but cutely updated, but you can hear as people come and go. The a/c is turned off when no one is there to conserve energy, that and the carpet gives a musty smell, but it airs out as the a/c runs. Overall, we had a great stay!
Little hard to find at first but great location and well oriented for exploring downtown.
This has to be the cleanest and most well-equipped unit I’ve experienced. The condo is on the older side but the maintenance of it was really impressive. They provided everything I could think of which says a lot since I usually bring my own cleaning/laundry agents!The only thing I did not like was being required to upload a photo of my ID to an app I don’t know/never heard of/wasn’t provided a security certificate for. Otherwise—centrally located, very clean, walkable neighborhood with lots of amenities.
The condo was a bit difficult to find in the dark. Once there it was clean and a very nice place to stay. There were 3 of us and the sleeper sofa was comfortable for myself. The condo is within walking distance to many of the shops and restaurants along the beach road.
This condo is in a great location for walk ability -close to the beach and restaurants. Nice balcony, pool and full kitchen. Really enjoyed our stay.
We brought our family here and it was great! Very comfortable we were a 10 minute walk to the ocean and shops in Kona.
Just what we needed as a tour base for a few days. Could have used a corkscrew.
Nice location, clean and comfortable. Unfortunate that the A/C is not in or close to the bedroom.
very clean and comfortable. i would stay here again.
