Rental Details

Property Overview

Hawai’i is open and Kona is more beautiful than ever. We are using CDC cleaning guidelines. Our place has cleaned ductwork AND repaired and wonderfully cool AC. We have purchased new clothes washer and refrigerator. All we are missing is you! 2 Bedrooms and 2Bathrooms, means you and you friends or family will have comfort and privacy. (Sleeps 2-4) Almost everything in this condo is new. The beds are queens, one is pillow top and one is firm and are equipped with luxury high thread count linens. The couch is a queen foldout. There are two full bathrooms, one with a bathtub, for the convenience of your guests. This Condo has a fully equipped kitchen. There are two BBQ decks for grilling. We have snorkeling masks, fins and other beach equipment.
The lanai has a partial view of Kailua Bay and Kona town. The east bedroom has a window with a gorgeous view of Hualalai mountain, if you are an early riser. Great location near the ocean side of the condo but away from the noise of the nightclub/restaurant. One minute walk to the ocean where you can snorkel, fish, surf or swim.
Kona is a paradise for walkers/hikers. You can walk old airport beach and there is a Keiki (kids)swim beach nearby. Every morning you can walk down to the Pier or to several areas where the locals surf. The swim area used for the Ironman Triathlon is right across the street where you can swim the same route they do or just paddle around and look at the fish. SUP is popular and rentable near the pier. The Ahu’ena Heiau of King Kamehameha is on the other side of the Pier and looks as it did when the missionaries first arrived on this Island. There is a recreational and safe beach there also.
The site of this condo is right on the routes of Independence Day and Kamehameha’s birthday parades. It is front and center for the start and finish of the Ironman championship. There are street fairs and musical performances are common on the grounds of the Palace. The Kailua Bay is where King Kamehameha and other Hawaiian royalty chose to retire. You may want to too. In the morning you can see spinner dolphins offshore, and a little bit later you can watch the deep sea fishermen offload, or the cruise ship set off. If you want more civilized activities, the restaurants and clubs are outstanding. The old palace is right across the street where they offer native arts and music as well as tours. You are next door to the first church built in the Hawaiian islands, a beautiful lava stone structure with Koa wood interior. After touring, there is a cooling salt water pool on grounds and covered, secured parking.

The Big island is the best for active vacationers. It has everything from a live volcano to an active truck and rodeo crowd. You can beach bum, snorkel, scuba or zipline and ride horses. You can even go hunting here, deep sea fish, watch the stars from a huge telescope and snow ski down a volcano. The Big Island can be your paradise.

Clean, comfortable condo in a prime location with huge lanai and ocean views. Walking distance to restaurants and waterfront with wonderful sushi across the street. Each room had separate air conditioning and was so quiet. Would definitely stay here again !

Great location, access to the local 'strip' of shops and restaurants. Foldout bed was actually useable as a bed, a definitely plus for our teen.

The condo was exactly as promised and great with two bedrooms and two bathrooms for my friend and I. Patti was very helpful with questions. The location was terrific to walk around town and get to Kailua Pier. Clean, great kitchen and huge lanai. We fell in love with Kona and The Big Island and plan to return.

Property was clean and comfortable. Easy to access. Fantastic location, close to downtown Kona, with restaurants and shopping just down the elevator and out the back door. The property was exactly as show in the pictures. Communication was easy with the owner.

Lucky us finding this great hidden gem just a little over a month prior to our departure. The location was wonderful as we were able walking to shops and restaurants nearby (we found 3 ABC stores within a mile). Nighttime was quiet - No drama nor crazy party people. We had a great night's sleep during our stay. Not to mention that each room has its own AC! The owner, Patti, was wonderful and prompt when reaching out for guidance and assistance even though she was in 5-hour different time zone. I love Big Island and will certainly stay in this cozy place again in the future. Thank you, Patti! _

The condo was perfect for my family of 4. It was conveniently located in the heart of all of the shopping and restaurants. We enjoyed walking to the beach with the black rock and watching the waves while eating a dole whip. Owner was very accommodating and communicated well. I was super appreciative of the initial email with instructions and directions. Parking was easy and plenty. Condo had beach supplies that were super useful. We’d stay at this location again.

Directions to this condo were spot on.The location is right on Ali'i Ave. So walking the shops was easy plus it is basically across the street from the ocean. Restaurants are very close and abundant.The condo was very clean and nice for all 4 of us. I would not hesitate to come back and visit this place.it is very close to Walmart and Safeway as well.Overall we had a fantastic stay.

My wife says not to write too glowing of a review because then it might get too popular, and be booked when we want to come back! The location is quiet and convenient. A market that operates (most days) is just a short walk away. We had food delivered from the nearby grocery store on another day using Insta-Cart. Good restaurants are close the rental unit. Our favourites are 'Pancho and Lefty's' and 'Papa Kona'. It's close to the 'action' of the local shops along the waterfront and historical attractions. If you want to explore the island in a rental car it is a quick getaway north or south. There is easy access to the highways in either direction. Plenty of parking at the building when you decide to come back for a rest. Our favourite part of the unit was the lanai. There is a nice wide 10 foot (or so) opening for that indoor/outdoor living. We spent a lot of time relaxing and eating meals there. The sun doesn't bake the lanai like water facing units do. The only issues we had were unrelated to the unit itself. One of the barbecues refused to light but we went up a floor and used the other. Also, when we departed at 6am for our flight home, the elevator wasn't working and I had to carry all our bags down the stairs. Like I said, these issues were unrelated to the unit and the elevator worked flawlessly every other day of our stay.

Communication with host was excellent. Location is the best, steps away from Main Street but still quiet. Lots of little items from kitchen to beach equip to make stay better. Would definitely stay again and recommended to others. Free parking is a bonus.

Excellent location, walking distance to many shops, restaurants and beach. Unit was well appointed and very clean, good selection of beach equipment and kitchen items. Had no issues with check in and host was very quick to respond to the one question we had. Would not hesitate to book this unit again. Mahalo for a great stay.

Location in Kona was very good. AC works well, fully stocked home with much of what you'd need. Clean condo and the owner is very nice. She communicated well and was great to work with. Only down side is not much ocean view and view from patio is of the back of buildings. That was not a big deal for us, and the patio was very spacious. Would stay again.

The condo was everything in the description and more. This was our first time taking the kids to Hawaii and we wanted a central location on Ali'i Dr so they could go walk around by themselves if they wanted. It was a perfect location! The condo was well stocked, beds were comfortable, the AC was phenomenal, the lanai was amazing! Loved the cute kitchen, where we prepared at least one meal per day. We will definitely return to this condo in the future!

We enjoyed our stay! The location was exactly what we wanted. Right in the middle of shops and restaurants. The size of the condo was perfect for us. We loved the balcony! Just a few minor things...the couches and chairs are very worn. The bathrooms are very small, which is totally fine. I just wish there were shelves for toiletries and cosmetics. Neither bed was very comfortable. Lastly, the dryer takes hours to dry the smallest of loads. Overall, we were happy and would stay there again.

This condo was the perfect retreat! It had the best location in Kona, parking was on site and free, and it had equipment for snorkeling and the beach!! The owner answered all communications quickly. The beds were very comfortable; kitchen was well equipped; and washer and dryer were in the unit!! Thx for sharing your piece of paradise with us!!

I was very happy with this property. Everything is in walking distance with some shops being on the garage level of the condo. The place was very clean and quiet with three working A/C units including one in each bedroom. Our group loved the large outdoor patio and the included onsite parking.

The property was just as described. The only issue we found was that the floor was not as clean as expected and we found the bottoms of our feet continuously getting dirty. So even though we were asked to not wear shoes in the apartment, we kept a clean pair of sandals in the apt to walk around in. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed the premises. The closeness of the apt to the center of Kona was a treat as we were able to walk to all of our favourite restaurants, stores, attractions.

Nice clean and convenient condo for our family group. Kitchen is small but adequate, lanai was a favorite spot for relaxing and the pool a nice break from ocean swimming. Easy walk to the main drag with lots of tourist stuff and decent eateries. Small beach was only a couple blocks away. Open air farmer's market a real plus and the Catholic Church another short walk for Sunday Mass. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable retreat that is an easy drive from airport and a good launching spot for all the sightseeing treats afforded by this beautiful island.

The location of this unit can't be beat. You are literally in the middle of everything - cafes, bars, restaurants, historical buildings, beaches. This unit is in an older building, but I found it to be much nicer than the VRBO pictures show. We especially loved the very large lanai. One of the things I hadn't considered before booking this unit is how hot it gets in town. Having mini-splits in the living room and both bedrooms made this unit an oasis to the heat of the late afternoon and early evening. Patti, the owner, is really responsive and caring about your stay here. I can not think of anything negative to say. This place is wonderland in all respects, our stay could not have been better and Patti's place is a great value for the money.

This is a nice place to stay in a great location. Very close to restaurants, bars, and shopping. A short walk to the bay/pier. There was some initial confuse on the maid service prior to our arrival but we were able to work matters out to everyone’s satisfaction.

Patricia is a super host for a reason, she kept in touch with me, provided very clear check in instructions and I really enjoyed the condo and the location. The pool needs to be cleaned but that is not on the host or related to the condo. I felt safe in the building and in using the walkway from the parking garage to the shopping and the ocean. I highly recommend this condo. The location is awesome, close to everything.
