Rental Details
Rental Overview
Summary:
Begin with a slow breakfast on your ocean-view lanai, then walk into the heart of Kailua-Kona before the day gets warm. This third-floor, two-bedroom, two-bath condo sleeps four and pairs a full kitchen with air conditioning and a breezy, high-ceilinged living area. After a morning at Kamakahonu Beach or snorkeling in Kailua Bay, come back for a dip in the on-site pool, a soak in the hot tub, or a barbecue in the covered community seating area. Shops, restaurants, luaus, and historic sites are all close enough to leave the car parked. The mix of actual walkability and an easy place to cool off makes this a thoughtful fit for a couple traveling with kids or friends who want Kona's energy right outside the door.
The Space:
On the third floor, this two-bedroom, two-bath condo makes the most of its ocean-view lanai and high-ceilinged living room. Reclaimed koa and sugi wood accents, along with antique Hawaiian touches, give the interior a personal sense of place. Air conditioning and a ceiling fan keep the space comfortable, while the full kitchen and open layout make it easy for four guests to settle in.
Guest Access:
Guests at A Little Aloha enjoy access to a shared outdoor pool and hot tub right on site in downtown Kailua-Kona. The condo offers a private entrance and patio or balcony space for relaxing outdoors. Beach access is close by, making it easy to enjoy Kona's coastline during your stay.
The Neighborhood:
Downtown Kailua-Kona is for the family that likes to walk out for coffee, shave ice, dinner, or a sunset look at the water. Kamakahonu Beach and Kailua Bay are close for a quick swim or snorkel, and the historic waterfront gives a beach day some local context. Ali'i Drive continues south to other beach stops, including Kahalu'u Beach Park for snorkeling. This is not a secluded resort setting. It is a lively, practical Kona base where you can fill a day without making every outing a car trip.
Getting Around:
Kona International Airport is about 10 to 15 minutes away, making arrival simple. A rental car is recommended so you can explore the Kona Coast at your own pace. Downtown Kailua-Kona's shops, restaurants, and oceanfront Ali'i Drive are often within walking distance or a short drive, with beaches, snorkeling spots, and grocery stores close by. Parking is generally available on site or nearby, whether street or lot.
Other Things to Note:
The lofted guest bedroom has no door and is partially open to the living area below. The shared pool is unheated. Elevators are not available. This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.

The most Hawaiian themed place we’ve ever stayed at! The condo is in great condition and well maintained, full of aloha, and stocked with everything you need for a fun stay on the island.
Pros: central location, clean property, good host and helpful customer service , designated parking Cons: no elevator (the listing makes it clear, we were ok) , building shows signs of aging, AC in main bedroom works but seems old compared to the living roomOverall a good choice and a clean property . We never used the pool or other amenities as there is a lot to do outside in the island. Customer service is excellent .
We could not gain access to the condo. After 2 hours we were able to get help and got code for key lock. The combo for electronic lock was not working. The next day they found that it was not functional.
Getting into apartment very challenging. Could not use the key pad. Only one of lock boxes worked. Neighbor said it was ongoing problem. Kitchen had nothing but sugar and water. That is bare!!! No detergent for washer. The worst besides the stairs was the vent in downstairs bathroom- SUPER LOUD. Woke you up when someone went to the bathroom. Overall place was clean and close to most things . Pool clean and quiet.We are elderly and it would be nice to say in the description that the appliances are touch! I had a heck of a time figuring out the washer:dryer. Good thing my granddaughter was with us.I would like a little tv in the bedrooms.Why couldn’t we have a broom or swiffer in the unit? Thanks.
Good location, clean but showing its age and the keys for the condo nor the pool area worked.
Condo was clean, location is great! Beds were comfortable, nice view of both ocean and mountains from the balcony. Plenty of towels, supplies, and everything - felt like we stepped right into a fully functional home. Only wish we knew from the get go that beach chairs and boogie board were available - consider putting that in the welcome message. Towel rack in the main floor bathroom is missing a screw, needs maintenance.
Great location , great island themed art . AV worked great once we figured it out. Only tough part was climbing 3 flights of stairs for access. Great lanai.
This condo is within walking distance of many restaurants and tourist spots. I never did see the pool and there was no info in the condo to tell you how to use the pool. So, you have to really look for it. I did want to use the pool, so I was sad about that.
After traveling 13 hours, we were all tired and ready to get in the house. It took us 40 minutes to get in due to the code that was given to us didn’t work. After texting back and forth, they finally gave us an actual key to use to enter the house. The first floor AC & shower did not work while we were there. However, the location was great. You can walk to stores and restaurants and it is very close to KOA airport.
Great location in Kona town. You can walk to everything and avoid all the new parking fees. The condo is beautifully decorated and the beds are extremely comfortable. Kitchen is well supplied and a beautiful ocean view from the lanai. It was great!
Our stay was simply amazing. The location of this condo is perfect! Steps away from the local small downtown village and beach. Our kids loved that we all had our own space and they could walk to hang out and shop so close to town! As soon as you arrive, the home is decored to make you literally feel like your instantly in Hawaii. Super cozy and modern pops + ammenities, fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms. In unit washer and dryer definitely came in handy. The home had a beautiful view of both mountains and ocean. The top floor is always the best! Cleanliness and space was perfect! Very well kept unit. We definitely recommend this condo if you want to be able to get around town on foot instantly. Private and spacious too!
Very clean with everything working. Air conditioning was great. Quiet complex.
I loved the location. It was 2-3 blocks from the main boardwalk shops, ocean, flea market and eateries. The condo was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The air conditioning and kitchen were great to have when coming in from the usually humid and hot climate.
Overall, the rental was very good. Inside the unit was very modern and very clean. Plenty of nice towels for bathing as well as beach towels and anything else you need. They left toiletries and a gift basket, which was a nice touch. Kitchen was pretty well equipped, we didn’t cook much, but when we did, there was everything we needed. The main issue was check-in. The information from Vacasa was completely inaccurate. They didn’t tell us where to park or how to walk around the building to find the unit. The information they gave us to access. The unit was completely incorrect. It was almost like they sent us the information for a completely different unit. we had to call and then they provided a solution over the phone. But my son and I were dripping sweat trying to figure it out. Climbing up and down three stories with a suitcase wasn’t great but we managed. Overall, it was a nice apartment and we would definitely definitely stay there again.
