About this property

Located approximately 200 yards from the start and finish of the Ironman World Championship, Kona Kai puts you right into the heart of Kona. Shopping, dining, entertainment, swimming, snorkeling, surfing are all within 1/2 mile of this property. The pool at the complex is nestled in the center, and offers a quiet peaceful place to swim and hang out.

Kona Kai B2 is a very nicely updated unit on the 2nd floor. Air conditioning and engineered wood flooring help to keep the condo cool and comfortable.

This unit comes equipped with beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and a small cooler for guests use. It may or may not have some snorkel gear that was left by previous guests. We do not provide snorkel gear. Non-fitting snorkel gear takes all the fun out of snorkeling, so it is best to rent your equipment while you are here.

Nice location and clean unit

The location was the only plus to it. The apartment is old, run down and tired, old AC units, very loud and we couldn’t manage to have a decent night of sleep. You could hear the irrigation system at 4 am, gardener at 6 and so on. On the last day we reported not having hot water, firstly you had to use the sink and shower taps to get it to work but we had to use just cold water because the boiler wasn’t working anymore, they acknowledged it but nothing got done so we couldn’t shower, wash dishes or the baby with hot water. So please do yourselves a favour and don’t book this property, look for something better. I do not recommend, shocking how they get away with charging what they do for properties in that condition.

Great location! On the smaller side but was good for what we were looking for

I gave a rating of 3 because, while the location was fantastic, the condo itself was poorly equipped. The kitchen was very understocked, utensils were covered in a greasy residue. The plasticware had a strong, unpleasant odor that seeped into the food, making it unusable.Many of the items in the property were either almost broken or simply didn’t work at all (like the hairdryer), and the air conditioning units were in desperate need of a filter change and a deep cleaning.As a two-bedroom condo, we expected enough beach equipment for four people, but there was only enough for two. The chairs we were provided were ancient, bulky, and uncomfortable, pool noodles were disintegrating. The pillows were stained yellow and worn out and the polyester sheets were cheap, hot and uncomfortable;in addition to very sunken mattresses.It’s unfortunate because, with better amenities, our experience could’ve been much better. The unit owner should update the condo’s furnishings to meet rental expectations.On a positive note, the management and grounds team were extremely helpful, friendly, and responsive. We would consider staying here again, but not in this particular unit.

Aloha! I found the Kona Kai Unit B2 to be centrally located to markets, dining and attractions. Local community for the location was noisy especially on weekend nights.

The property was ok if a little dated, no real complaints there. Do note there there is no dishwasher in the unit. The check-in was not great. I didn't receive check-in instructions or a door code prior to arrival and ended up sitting outside the unit well past my check-in time while I attempted to contact the host via several phone numbers including a manager that was on vacation and had to call VRBO Customer Service. Not the smooth process I'm used to when using VRBO.

Property was very nice. Located within walking distance to beaches and shops. Couch wasn’t the most comfortable, but we weren’t in the condo very much.

The only things wrong with this property was the furniture. The main bedroom bed was beyond worn out, and obviously so. There was a spot where the cushioning was completely shot and covered with some sort of pad, presumably to alleviate the problem (it did not work). My wife moved to sleep in the single bed in the second bedroom. Luckily we only had 3 people in the apartment. The couch in the living room was also remarkably hard and uncomfortable. Location was advertised, close to pier. There was some road noise but not more than expected.

The location was very convenient and overall was a great stay. Only buts were, the shower taking a long time to heat up, so didn’t like wasting that much water and it went cold during my showers too. It also had a could cooking utensils not fully cleaned.

I was looking for a place with a walkable location, functional air conditioning in both bedrooms, comfortable beds and a decent kitchen. This fit the bill perfectly! I remember reading other reviews mentioning that check in was confusing, but it was simple and easy for us. Right next to the grocery store, short walk to the shore (but with a hill to climb on the way back), comfortable beds and bedding, plenty of towels, and easy access to laundry.
