Rental Details

Rental Overview

Summary:

Walk to Niumalu or Kamakahonu Beach in the morning, come back to the pool when the sun is high, and stroll out again for dinner along Kailua-Kona's waterfront. This one-bedroom, one-bath Casa Tropical Kona condo sleeps four with a California king bed and queen sofa bed, an ocean view, window air conditioning, and an in-home washer and dryer. The relaxed Hawaiian styling includes a living-room hammock that makes an afternoon at home feel like part of the trip, while the full kitchen has dining for four at both the table and bar. A shared pool and hot tub give you an easy reset after a beach or snorkeling day. With shops, eateries, and historic sites nearby, this is an especially convenient small-family stay when you want to spend more time doing Kona and less time planning how to get there.

The Space:

The California king bedroom and queen sofa bed let this one-bedroom condo sleep four. A hammock, smart TV, and ocean-view setting give the living room a relaxed Kona feel. The kitchen is fully equipped, with seating for four at the dining table and another four at the bar. Window air conditioning and a private washer and dryer take care of the comfort and practical details.

Guest Access:

Guests at Casa Tropical Kona enjoy access to a shared outdoor pool and spa in the heart of Kailua-Kona, plus a hammock and outdoor seating for relaxing. A private entrance with a lit path at night adds ease, and a nearby laundromat supports longer stays.

The Neighborhood:

Central Kailua-Kona is one of the few Big Island places where a family can genuinely walk to beach time, a casual dinner, and a waterfront sunset. Niumalu and Kamakahonu Beaches are nearby, with Kailua Bay offering a place to swim or snorkel. Ali'i Drive runs through the neighborhood, lined with restaurants, local shops, historic sites, and ocean views. Kahalu'u Beach Park is farther south for snorkeling. This location is ideal for a small family that wants the freedom to leave the car parked and let a Kona day unfold on foot.

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:

This single-level condo is on the second floor. Elevators are not available. Parking: one assigned space in the carport. Additional guest parking may be available in visitor parking spaces on a first come, first served basis. Street parking is not permitted. STRV 21-466074.

Location is great. It’s small and really only sleeps 2 unless they are young kids and then you can them them on the pullout

The unit was very clean, comfortable bed, and well-appointed kitchen. The location allows easy walking to most of downtown Kona and the assigned parking spot is a bonus.

The rental is less than a 10-minute walk from Ali'i Village and a short drive to all grocery stores. The beds were comfortable, and we found all the linens clean. The window A/C units worked well to keep the apartment cool. The kitchen is very minimally stocked, and the non-stick pans are in bad shape. The pans flaked off the non-stick coating into our food. Otherwise, we had no issues with our stay.

Super clean, super convenient, but not really ocean view and the pool was under repair while we were there. Although bright and having many windows, we had to close almost all the blinds to keep neighbors from peeping in the bedroom (and other) windows.

This condo was very cute and tropical! Equipped with everything you need and in a perfect location - walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants in downtown Kona. Very clean and the bed was super comfortable!

Good location. We did not get a chance to use the pool but it was quiet and near shopping and restaurants.
