Property Overview
YOU'LL LOVE THIS CONDO AND THE VIEWS FROM THE LANAI!
The kitchen is brand new with new cabinets, 5 burner gas stove, microwave and refrigerator and granite counter tops and a nice dining table. The floor plan is divided into a living room area and a sleeping area. The living room area is appointed with a new couch and coffee tables and a 55" Samsung TV. The bedroom area has a brand new Cal King memory foam bed, 2 night stands and a brand new dresser. the bathroom was updated a couple of years ago with a tub/shower and a nice vanity with a single sink. The windows and sliding doors are brand new with dual pane glass. The screened lanai has wonderful partial ocean views. The unit has an assigned parking space.
Kona Shores is a low rise complex with only 2 floors in each building. This unit is on the second level and there isn't an elevator.
There are very few ocean view units in the complex and when this unit became available we had to buy it. The pool is right beside the ocean and the views are awesome. Town is an easy 20 minute walk on Oceanside Alii Drive. Honl's Beach is an easy 1/2 mile walk and the famous Magic Sands Beach is 2 miles from the complex.
We put quality improvements in to our units and we pride ourselves in providing our guests with affordable top notch accommodations. YOU WILLLOVE IT!

Reviews
Worked with Doug from beginning to end. Great host and responded in a timely manner. Condo was amazing with great views and enjoyed the upgraded amenities. Perfect location with parking. Pay attenion to the curfew hours as there are permanent residents who live there.
Host was very communicative. Place was clean and well organized. The only downfall is the bathroom could use and update. Convenient location.
Clean. Perfect location to everything in town. No problems in the area. Would recommend.
Didn't meet the host. The amenities were excellent. Saved us packing a lot of extra goods from Alaska, or leaving things behind when we left. Overall it was a very good stay.
Great, clean condo. Fantastic pool with BBQ area. Very quiet.
The condo is amazing and this was our second time staying here. This condo has everything to make your trip go smoothly. For the beach - beach chairs, umbrella, body boards, snorkel items, cooler and even beach towels. It all saves you time so you can do more relaxing. The pool is ocean front for a great view while swimming and also fantastic to watch the sunset. You have your own parking spot. Also A/C in the condo. This condo has it all and is totally worth booking this place. You will love it and can see the ocean from your patio. We will def be back for another visit. Thanks so much!
We loved the location near the beaches, it was clean, spacious and had everything we needed and more! The pool was lovely.
So peaceful. Beautiful neighborhood beyond what I could have imagined. The apartment was spotless and the owners were generous and thoughtful about the client.
We had a great stay at Doug and Evie’s! Location is perfect, apartment is comfortable and has a ton of things you could need on a trip to Hawaii.
This lovely condo is the perfect home base for exploring the Kona side of the Big Island. From the Kahuku gate of Volcanoes National Park and Papakolea to the South, and Pu’ukohola Heiau and Lapakahi State Park to the North, this is a great location. Very clean space, well equipped kitchen, and beautiful views. Will definitely stay again on our next trip to Hawai’i.
We enjoyed our 1st trip to Hawaii. As we explored the entire island, we easily drove to the volcano, Acaca falls, and black sand beach from our condo. We appreciated the snorkel gear along with the beach chairs, cooler, and umbrella for our beach days. Having a fully stocked kitchen w/ pots, coffee maker, stove and fridge helped with food expenses. Loved drinking our morning coffee and evening tea out on the lanai. The bed was comfortable too. Mahalo!
Very comfortable,clean space with a fantastic lanai to dine/view the ocean, well-stocked kitchen, and owners that respond very quickly to any inquiries. Would definitely recommend staying here!
Great location, host was very prompt and helpful.
We love the location and the unit. Close to everything but a very chill complex. Really nice to have assigned parking space. Great to be able to walk next door to Green Flash to grab breakfast and enjoy it on the lanai. Loved that a cooler and ice packs in the freezer were provided as well as enough toilet paper and paper towels for our stay so we didn’t have to go buy those supplies. Basically we love everything about this rental and plan to stay here again in the future.
Very comfortable condo in a good location - 1 mile walk to the restaurant district, or drive and everywhere validates parking if you eat.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Kona Shores property. Great community. Clean property. Friendly neighbors. Surprisingly quiet and very relaxing stay. What’s not to enjoy in Hawaii?
Wonderful place to base out of in Kona. This comfortable condo has amazing views and is central to all things Kona. Easy to bike or walk from and it has a parking space for the car. Everyone in the complex is super kind. There is a mini library, laundry, ocean access for taking in the incredible sunsets. The kitchen is well stocked. Check in and check out were a breeze. Would definitely come back next time we are on the big island!
We were very happy staying at this condo. It's well stocked with nice dishes and pans to cook with. We took full advantage of the boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers, ice packs, a beach umbrella and snorkeling gear provided. The condo grounds are clean and amazingly quiet.
We enjoyed our stay in this clean updated unit! The assigned parking is convenient, the unit is well equipped and has a good location.We would have a given a five star review except for the fact that the building is not very sound proof and the communal barbecue is not gas powered and requires briquettes.
This was a great property in a nice location. It was exactly as listed and it was well equipped to enjoy your Big Island stay. We would definitely recommend this condo and would stay here again.
Nice place with a lot of good amenities. Full kitchen with everything you could need and then some. Close to town but just far enough away to feel like you could relax.
Nice pool, located near a lot of shops and services.
One of the best places we have ever stayed! The kitchen was well equipped. The living/television room comfortable. The king bed a plus. The balcony view inviting. The pool refreshing, and it was relaxing listening to the waves. The one thing is, we wished there was a sandy beach at the property. There are sandy beaches nearby. Communication with the owners Doug and Evie was excellent, and prompt.
We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean. The owners included shampoo, hand soap, dish soap and so much more to make our stay as easy as possible. They also included everything we needed to stay at the beach for the day
Would love to come back again and again! Love the place, the condo offers everything you need.
Condo was centrally located, beautiful views, well stocked with amenities (soap, foil, etc) and bed was comfortable. Would stay here again.
Had a great experience with the owners of the condo. They always responded to all inquiries quickly. It was a central location to dinning, shopping and local beaches. The AC was a must and it worked great. Would not hesitate to recommend or use in the future.
Everything was as listed. Was a good base for our trip. The condo was clean and we did enjoy a couple of sunsets from the pool and rocks down below. Was nice to have an assigned parking spot so we didn’t have to worry about parking availability. The on site laundry facility was useful. It did get hot at night so the window ac was appreciated. Good location right off the road but we couldn’t hear the road in the complex. Mahalo for the great place.
When I went to book with VRBO I had stated I wanted a place in Holualoa. My booking says Holualoa Village at the top of each response I got. Kona Surf Condos are NOT in Holualoa. They are in Kona on the main road into town ( Ali’i Drive). The unit was nice ( and had air conditioning which you need if you’re staying downtown). And the owner’s communications were great. He is a good host. But this property is definitely NOT in Holualoa. And when VRBO went down several hours on 5/5 it was impossible to get into my account or reach anyone by phone to deal with issues. I’d give the host 5 stars, but VRBO- 2 stars at best. They are the ones booking downtown Kona as Holualoa.
The location was very convenient and the property was great! Super comfortable bed with all the amenities you need for a great stay. Easy check in and good communication. I would absolutely stay again. Only issue had nothing to do with the owners. The guy in the adjoining parking spot is super rude and parks way over the line. No need for that since the spaces are large enough for any vehicle.
Clean and well stocked with basic necessities. Excellent communication with owner. Would highly recommend. Within walking distance to most places in Kona.
We hd a wonderful stay for 6 nights. The pool is great for stargazing and sunsets. Bikes to rent just outside the property but also easily walkable to a main down town area with shops, restaurants, beach access. Short drive to the docks where we went on a whale watching cruise. I can't say enough about the location. The apartment itself was very clean and enough space for 2 of us, the kitchen was stocked w shopping bags, knives, plates, cups etc. all you need to cook. the Lanai provided chairs, coolers, snorkeling gear, boogey boards we used over the week and a beautiful view. The A/C worked well for overnight. We would definitely stay again as the bed was also super comfy! Thanks so much we had an amazing time
We enjoyed our stay very much. We appreciated the beach equipment especially. The bed was very comfortable and everything worked well. We didn’t use the AC except one time. We just had the screen on the lanai and the front door screen and the condo was cool. We used the pool every day and watched sunsets at the pool area also. We would stay here again for sure. Thank you.
The condo was in a nice quiet complex with a partial view of the ocean. It was a little worn, but nice and clean. The laundry was conveniently located in the same building one floor down. We were happy enough with the condo.I have two very minor gripes. There is a window in the shower facing the front of the condo and anyone who wished to could walk up and look in. My husband thinks I'm silly, but it creeped me out a little.
We absolutely loved our stay in this condo, from the lockbox for the keys at the front door to the coolers on the lanai. It had everything we needed and extras that made our stay very comfortable. We started every morning with coffee out on the lanai looking for whales, watched the sunset from the pool and ended each day with drinks on the lanai.
We loved everything about it. Nice location, great pool and access to the ocean, clean and updated rooms. Very quiet and welcoming place. Parking very convenient too
Was perfect for us, everything you need for cooking, and the beach. Very clean and comfortable place to stay. Coffee on the lanai in the morning watching whales and dolphins. Sunsets by the pool, watching waves and whales. Will recommend and stay again. Mahalo
We loved our stay here. Great location by the beach. Condo has lots of extras like lawn chairs, cooler and snorkels. Had a wonderful time.
We enjoyed our stay at #218 Kona Shores. It was clean and well appointed and the lanai had a nice partial ocean view. The owner provided beach chairs, umbrella, coolers and snorkels. The kitchenette had a good selection of cooking utensils and necessary supplies. One thing we think would make the stay special would be coffee available on arrival. We arrived at the unit from Canada close to midnight and it would be so appreciated to have a coffee on the lanai in the morning without having to get in the car and go shopping. Just some packs of instant would be great! The pool area is lovely and we watched the sunset from there most nights. We didn’t realize that the BBQ area did not have gas grills, only briquette, and this was the only real disappointment. We would definitely stay here again.
We stayed at this place for 10 nights and found it to be the perfect condo and base for our stay on big island. The views from the lanai are really nice for enjoying breakfast or dinner. The condo is very quiet and close to Kona. With a rental car everything on the island is reachable within a reasonable amount of time. The condo has everything you need: A fully equiped kitchen, a spacious living room and a really large comfortable bed. Bathroom is basic and ok. There is also some beach equipment, which is handy. Everything was just as advertised and very clean. Communication with Doug was easy and he always responded quickly and was helpful. We definitely would come here again. We loved our stay.
