About this property

The Kona Makai complex is a beautifully maintained & highly sought after Ocean Front Complex located on famous Ali'i Drive, just 1.3 miles from Kona town. This wonderful complex features include, beautifully manicured tropical grounds, Saltwater ocean front pool and spa, sunny lounge area, two work out rooms, eating area w/ gas BBQ’s, tennis courts, ping pong table, ample parking, and is gated during the night for security.

Building 3 is especially sought after because of the positioning of the main front Lanai as it’s much cooler than any other building in the complex. You can also enjoy the sun & relax on the back Lanai off the BR.

Kona Town is a short 20 minute walk on wide shoulders, or hop on the famous Kona Trolley that will take you almost anywhere from Kona to Keauhou.

When the ocean is flat there is good snorkeling or diving in front of the complex.

Our unit is on the second floor, there are 2 lanai's, one off the living room looking at the ocean and pool, the other off the bedroom. The master bedroom has a king bed, ceiling fan, all linens are provided, as well as a hair dryer, iron & board. The Condo is tiled throughout including both Lanai's.

We have free fast secure WiFi.

The living room has a new 55" Smart LED TV, ceiling fan. There is a new washer and dryer in the unit. The blue "Big Island Guide Book" is provided, and other guide books.

There is a eating bar with stools, looking into the kitchen. You can also eat your meals on the lanai at the table and chairs, enjoy the view of the ocean or I have trays you can take your food down to the BBQ area. We have a light & fan on the lanai for enjoying your evenings outside.

We provide beach chairs, beach cooler, fins, snorkels, masks(no water shoes), beach towels, beach umbrella, Boogie Board, tennis racquets, first-aid kit, hair dryer, iron & board.

The room was perfect for my daughter and I. Bed was comfortable and it was nice to have the air conditioning when you just needed to cool the rooms downs a bit. They have it stocked with everything you could need. We saved money just on using things like the cooler. The grounds were beautiful with lush landscaping and the views of the ocean were gorgeous. It was in close proximity of dining and shopping also. Perfect little place to stay. Rod was also easy to communicate with and I was very thankful that we could do a late checkout.

The property is perfectly located for experiencing all Kona has to offer. It is close to the ocean activities, dining/art options, and nature exploration. The grounds were immaculately maintained and boasted beautiful ocean views.

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and this condo was the perfect place. Close to Kona but a very quiet complex. Loved all of the beach accessories and the condo has everything we needed. Will definitely book next trip to the Big Island

We had a great time at this property. Everything you need for fun days at the beach are included (chairs, big beach towels, large beach umbrella ⛱️, coolers, boogie boards, noodles ) it was nice to have the use of those things. Pool & spa were very nice & clean. Condo is stocked with lots of kitchen equipment and stuff. Bed was very comfortable. Nice to have a washer & dryer as well. All in all we had an awesome time!!! I would highly recommend this property. Until next time … Aloha.

I cannot say enough about this condominium, the complex and the owners of the condo. The condominium is beautiful, clean, has a fantastic view of the ocean and is equipped with everything you need for a perfect Hawaiian vacation. I highly recommend staying here. The grounds of the complex are also stunningly gorgeous, the pool is right on the water and you can go out on the lava rocks and snorkel right in the ocean from there. The owners of the condo are very kind and accommodating. I will definitely be staying in this condo again.

We enjoyed our stay at Kona Makai. The condo was clean and had everything for a relaxing start to the day with coffee and a nice patio. There was everything we needed to enjoy the beach and snorkeling. The Kona Makai complex was very quiet and had a terrific view of the sunset from the pool area. The television screen quit while we were there and Rod quickly evaluated the problem and had a new TV installed. We would definitely come back in the future.
