Recommended to stay from a friend. Best decision ever! Great location, views, easy to navigate around town! Very peaceful and clean! Will come again!
We were very pleased with our stay at this property. Amenities were great and location was perfect.
It was perfect, we will be going bacl next year
Love this property! Clean & quiet. Just the way we like it.
The unit was very comfortable. The lanais facing the ocean and mountains were very enjoyable. The amenities and location are great.
we had a wonderful stay - listing was as described and the view from the balcony was really nice; we could see the whales from there. overall a nice place to stay.
We enjoyed our stay, and with a few exceptions, the unit is furnished with everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay. The unit is a bit dated and could benefit with some updates. For example, the television is about the size of a computer desk monitor and there’s only a couch in the living room with no comfortable chair. The bathroom towels and the beach towels were somewhat worn. Neither of the ceiling fans worked properly. Note that this is one of the rental units that supplies little more than salt and pepper in the way of kitchen supplies. That said, our friends liked the unit so much that they are renting it next year.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. It was perfect for just the 2 of us. It was clean with great amenities.
We enjoyed our stay, room & property were clean and well stocked, location was great. We would definitely come back, Thank you for a nice vacation
Had a great time staying at Kona Makai 4202. Parking was ample and check in was a breeze. The condo was well equipped and complex was beautiful. Can be cozy with neighbors on other lanais but to be expected in Hawaii. We had an exceptionally obnoxious neighbor yelling loudly and profanely for a very long time. One call to Kona Coast Vacations management and the situation was quickly resolved and no more problems. A couple suggestions for the condo itself: a new mattress would be welcomed, a bigger and smart tv mounted on the wall so the AC isn’t blocked by furniture. Everything else was perfect.
Lovely one bedroom, very clean. Great view. Well stocked.

Went to Kona to attend a wedding and found this unit. Looked good, and it was. Do not have anything to say bad about Alii Makai. It was quiet, grounds kept up very nice.
Would we go again to this unit? Yes we would.

We had an end unit that was shaded in the morning looking out over the gardens to the ocean. Tranquil place to R & R. There are 100+ units in the complex and rules to limit phone calls on the balcony’s to keep the noise levels down.
Pricing was competitive and quality was top of the pile.
Parking was crowded but not a problem finding space.
The location is close to the tourist strip and accessible to grocery and restaurants by shuttle or rental car but not walking.
Book here and you will like it.
Enjoy.

We had a great time at this venue. The pictures were true to form. The location was excellent as it made us get out and walk a bit :) . Plenty of parking for our rental vehicle. The unit was VERY well appointed. There was a little confusion over the registration process for the rental car but an on site employee was quick to help and it was appreciated. We are already talking about re-booking for next year! Highly recommend this location.
Property was as advertised and professionally managed.
Small, and seemingly old stains on carpet in hallway were a minor detraction. Could be brightened with shampooing. Excellent internet service. Good tv cable service. Some morning noise from parking lot. Overall, though, it met our needs quite adequately and at a reasonable cost.

The location is great, we did a lot of walking into town, about 1.5 miles one way. We also had a car and we're gone all day everyday. Of course the pictures make the place look way bigger than it was, but we managed okay with 4 adults. The negative issues were all the rules. As Christian adults were are very respectful. We don't drink nor smoke or stay up late partying. But there were rules on which stalls to park in, "no phone calls on the lanai", in fact nothing on the lani, don't slam the door", even though the screen door slams on it own. "Take out the trash everyday" and I had to count towels to make sure we washed any "excess" towels. There's 3 pages or rules and whatnot. One morning we received a note left on our door because one time I forgot to change the mode on the ac unit. The front door was also hard to find in the dark when we arrived. The numbers to all the units are covered by greenery. So it was not a very relaxing place to stay, convenient but not relaxing.
We had an amazing stay!! Very clean and great location to downtown. Easy access to reservation detail information on Happy Stays X App and clear communication prior to check-in. Friendly neighbors and quiet days/nights. Bonus to have beach gear (umbrella, chairs and cooler) for use. We would definitely stay again if visiting the Big Island.
Mahalo!
We had a great vacation to Kona. This is a great location. The condo was clean and just the perfect size for us. It is a very quiet complex. If I have one suggestion, we only had two towels for one week. So having only one towel each, we had to do laundry ever day. Other than that, highly recommend this condo.
Location and parking were key for us as we were out and about most of our trip and this property nailed both. Super convenient location and even more walkable than we thought. There were always open parking spots near our unit which made loading/unloading a breeze. Overall, great experience. Only gripe about the unit itself was cleanliness as it just felt superficially clean. For example, all surfaces were clearly wiped down and the linens were cleaned/folded, but we had to rewash several pots/pans and knives before using as there were visible signs of residue and when we walked into the unit and were greeted with several piles of dead bugs.
Nice unit, clean and well stocked. The only downside was the carpet had been cleaned and was wet. It took 2 days to dry completely and had soap residue left on it. We would book this unit again.
I had friends staying in complex so I spent little time at the condo but when I was there, it was comfortable. I did get a note on my door from a “neighbor” who did not like the A/C on “econo” as it cycles on and off and apparently disturbed them. This unit is next to the parking lot and tennis courts so I used the A/C at night for white noise. The note stopped me from using the econo mode A/C… also, the shower/tub needs new anti-slip strips. Tub is slippery when wet. Small adjustments… overall, I was quite comfortable and would stay here again!
Complex is walking distance to shops and restaurants. Unit was comfortable with good mattress, pillows, linens, towels. There are 6 buildings in the complex and 5 have angled views of the ocean but the building that this unit is in, has a straight on ocean view because it runs across the back of the property parallel with the ocean. Some of the view is obscured by palm trees but that will change as the palm fronds are trimmed away as the trees grow taller . Nice patio, two a/c units and two ceiling fans. Quiet complex. Lots of BBQs by the pool. Owner has provided a little cooler and two beach chairs and beach towels. Very well stocked kitchen too. The only thing we thought could be improved was the flooring which is a well worn off white carpet. We would highly recommend this unit.
