Kona Plaza 201: Cozy Condo w/ AC, Shared Pool & Ocean Views

We were in Kona for the Queen Lili outrigger race and the location was fantastic! We had many of our team members stay at the Kona Plaza condos. It really worked out great! We loved the layout and lanai it truly was perfect! We felt our condo was the best!!

Very clean, well maintained property

Great location in Kona to walk to restaurants and shops. Property has everything you need and more - nicely appointed kitchen, comfy beds, and large balcony/lanai with dining and seating areas. Garage parking and the pool are a plus too. Great communication with host and easy check out instructions. Thank you!!

Great rental in an beautiful location

Very nice place to stay - some directions were confusing.

The property is located in a great spot with many shops and restaurants within quick walking distance. The view is ok and the nearby beach isn’t anything great. The property was super clean which was appreciated. The check in process was overly complicated and annoying though with info required on each guest and multiple forms that has to be filled out. Overall was a good experience but if we come back we will stay at Hilo as we didn’t find Kona to be impressive at all.

Excellent location. We like the downtown and ocean just a block away.

has basics not much more, high wear areas were clean and tidy. parking is extremely tight. pretty loud neighborhood. view very limited of ocean. pool was so cold no one wanted to go near it.

Great location. I could walk to a nice place for snorkeling in about 6 minutes. The instructions need to be updated. The complex is being upgraded. So, there is no guest parking and no assigned parking contrary to the instructions. Other instructions that have changed due to the construction should also be updated.

Perfect location in downtown Kona. Shopping, restaurants, scenic viewpoints, Farmers' Market and more all within easy walking distance. Everything we needed for 1st day stay available in unit. Wrap around lanai and water view in distance wonderful. Building communication and upkeep expectations met. Only feedback is 2nd bedroom mattress made more comfortable with hard flat platform/boxspring or thicker mattress. Absolutely would choose this location again.

Great

The condo was very nice and close to some good restaurants.

I have stayed in this building before, a different condo, and I can say this one was a great surprise, it was large and had an open concept living / kitchen area. The patio is huge and wraps around so you can also see the mountains. The furniture / beds / sofa / patio set were all very nice, as was the washer / dryer and bathrooms. The patio is a bit noisy, but that is what you trade off for being right in the middle of town and can walk everywhere. Loved the place and will definitely be back!

First of all, the "ocean view" is a joke. The picture they show on the listing is about 5% of the view that is actually of A/C units on the building in front & tarps on the roof on the dilapidated building across the street. I wish I could upload the real photo. The only table & chairs are outside on the lanai, but you are not able to use it past 9pm unless you sit in silence. Apparently, the daily leaf blowers before 8am, the truck emptying the dumpster almost daily at 3am, the noise from the restaurant next door early in the morning, the constant motorcycles with loud pipes driving not only on the main street but the side street right next to the bedroom and the car alarm sounding for 10 minutes at 7am doesn't bother the HOA but us outside after 9 does. The rental co was very nice and easy to deal with, but I will not stay there again bc of the HOA. We have stayed at many places in multiple states and have never had any issues or noise complaints before, but this property must be next to an HOA officer since they camped out by our walkway one night as an intimidation tactic when got back from dinner. Neither bathroom is attached to a bedroom. 2 beach chairs, umbrella, towels & cooler were provided. The beds were OK, the A/C was great and the kitchen was stocked but do yourself a favor and rent a unit on the side next to the church. We had family staying there and it was super peaceful. The location is convenient, but don't stay on the front side facing the street.

We have stayed at other nice properties in this building during prior visits to the Big Island, but will now ALWAYS book this specific unit! Spacious and beautifully decorated, with EVERY possible amenity thoughtfully provided - from sunscreen lotions, snorkle masks and coolers, to a generous supply of bath and beach towels, dish and clothes washer soaps, and a kitchen very well stocked with cooking supplies. Newer appliances all in great condition. The air conditioning was so comfortable to come "home" too after warm days in the sun. We could tell the cleaning crew used is top-notch - we didn't even feel a spec of sand beneath our feet when walking barefoot across the cool tiled floors (and we also cared well for the property and avoided tracking sand into the unit), and all counters and surfaces free of any grime. Comfortable beds, lots of storage space, great living room layout for socializing. And the deck-balcony - whoa! HUGE, wrap around with access from both the living room and the master bedroom. We enjoyed meals outside on the covered balcony (shelter from the sun and occasional shower), watching the passerbuys on the quaint shopping street and a bonus was the nice view of the water as well. Overall, the best stay we have had on our travels to the Islands! Thank you!

The area needs updating… some paint would do wonders. Almost every retail outlet needs workers. Still it was awesome!

We loved staying here. Every thing was short walking distance in town. Outside of town 90 minutes got you to everything you want to see from green beach to very top of Mauna Kea. Plan on returning next year and other than a few days in Hilo hope to return to this condo!

The location is good for access to shops, etc. on Ali’i Drive but a bit overpriced for what you get. For example, there are several fancy hotels nearby that have a daily rate per person for less and with more amenities as long as you don’t want to cook.

Great place to stay for walkability and ample parking. Nice that they had coffee for a few days and all the comforts of home! I would definitely stay here again!

Great location . You could walk to Kailua bay, restaurants a plenty and tons of shopping. Condo had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We used the beach chairs and umbrella. Lanai was a great place to sit and relax and people watch. Totally enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our time. Location was great, would absolutely consider this property for a future vacation. Loved seeing the sunset from the very spacious Lanai.
