Maximum occupancy strictly enforced in accordance with local ordinances.
The Kona Alii is situated in one of the best locations on Alii drive, directly across the street from the water's edge. This vacation rental is perfect for a small family or group of friends as it can house up to 4 guests with 1 bedroom and 2 bathrooms. The home features ocean views and easy access to town. Great restaurants and shops are all within walking distance. Hale Halawai Park (this is maybe a 5-minute walk away, but not an actual park someone would hang out at, this is where the homeless hang out during the day) or Kona Brewing for a cold one.
The condo unveils into a bright and open living room. Plush seating arrangements are circled in front of a mounted flat screen TV. A DVD player, telephone for local calls (there is no phone listed for this property), a work desk, and WIFI are provided to ensure your comfort. The couch functions as a Queen-sized Murphy bed for additional sleeping (The couch is not the murphy bed, this is a separate bed that is pull down from the wall and is shown in the photos). A shared guest bath can be accessed from here.
Across from the living room is a well-equipped kitchen. All appliances needed are ready to help a chef whip up delicious snacks and meals. Call your guests over to the formal dining table with seating for 4 to have a home cooked meal together. Step outside onto the private lanai and enjoy a cold drink watching the sunsets over the ocean.
Down the hall is the master bedroom. The bedroom is furnished with a luxurious King-sized bed and has an attached private bathroom. The bathroom has a shower/tub combo and a separate vanity to make getting ready easy. The vacation home is prepared with a washer and dryer combo, convenient for any wet bathing suits.
Kona Alii Condominiums also has a parking space for this unit labeled #204 and a secured building entry. There are BBQ stations and an outdoor swimming pool for guests to use.
This unit is right in the heart of Kona town where street noise, bar and loud music is very obvious especially with the doors open.
PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO AC IN THE UNIT.

The views from the second story unit are nice. 10 power lines block some though. The ocean sound is wonderful but hard to hear most of the time from the constant street noise. Loud trucks with massive speaker systems cruising into the AM hours and jolting you awake. If the unit had AC you can close the deck doors and not hear very much. We had to have all windows open to get cross ventilation. We had some issues with how clean the unit was when we arrived. It took 3 days to get cleaners out to clean the vents duct dust, floors and mold in the shower. The cleaners were super nice people and did a great job. We had three texts from quality control about a sensor going off inside the unit they had to check on while we were out. This was pretty annoying and r ally didn’t give us much privacy. The worst part of the stay was dealing with Grand Welcome. After we booked they sent us a two
Page document to sign. We disnt want to sign it and didn’t have no choice since we already paid. We also had problems with ants and cockroaches. There were roach and ant trap disks everywhere in the property. We couldn’t leave food out and ended up throwing many things away as they got into Everything. We tried to cancel the remainder of stay because of issues but Grand Welcome wasn’t so welcoming to that idea. We called VRBO over 35 times sent 42 emails. 4 days later they offered us Pennie’s on what we paid to cancel. Grand Welcome holds money and control everything leaving VRBO with no way to help

My wife and I are frequent visitors to Kona and love this location, right on Ali'i Dr in the heart of downtown near many of our favorite restaurants and shops. We've stayed in this particular unit before and appreciate the Murphy bed - my wife and I sleep just fine on it while our child sleeps in the master bedroom. The check-in process is very clear and easy, you have assigned parking, and there is an elevator to make getting your luggage up to the room super easy. While staying here, keep in mind that Ali'i Dr can be quite loud from around 8pm to 10pm and this is not the fault of the property, it just comes with the territory as cars and people make their way home after a night out or from their jobs. As city people, we quite enjoy it and will sit on the lanai overlooking all the action and play cards while people-watching. The noise quiets down and when you wake up, you can hear the waves crashing across the street, which is just magical. With this as your base while in Kona, you're in easy walking distance to the farmer's market, the Coconut Grove area for coffee, shave ice, and all your meals along with beach volleyball, and the Kona Pier the other direction. Such a fun spot and we already can't wait until our next visit.

The location was great and for the most part things were as advertised. There were some issues with the sliding door to the laundry room / bathroom and the glasses in the kitchen were not really usable do to age, they actually affected the taste of what was in them.
We would stay again however as the positives out weighed the negatives.

We stayed here with friends from the mainland. Everything you need is nearby. Keep in mind it is on Alii Drive so there isnstreet noise and traffic in the evening (but also great people watching).

The location was perfect! You could walk to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, shopping, whale watch from lanai. Beautiful view .NO AC, very loud street traffic if you keep doors open to try and cool room down. Two beds the master bed is very firm and the Murphy bed soft. Room has washer/dryer combo nice to have. The room could use spring cleaning. The walls had grease splatter / stains and the bedding needed cleaned there were stains on both comforters. Overall the location and view 5 stars the room comforter and cleanliness 3 stars. We had a great 10 days. Thank you!

Was the perfect location for the race.. close walk to pier and located on run course. Close to restaurants.
Did have an issue with the washer/dryer but contacted management company and they were able to fix it by Wednesday of our stay.
Place was very nice.. the place did not have AC but we had good ocean breeze that kept thing tolerable.
Enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back

The location is great, right on Alii drive where most shops and restaurants are within walking distance. Beautiful view of the ocean as described and pictured in the listing. It’s can be a bit loud in the evening when tourists are out and about, but if you fully close the glass sliding doors it will block out the sound. Parking spot was a bit hard to find at first, but overall a fairly accessible location from the main highway or from alii drive. Condo was super clean and the rules were completely reasonable. Would recommend to anyone staying in Kona. Mahalo

Clean condo, easy to get in and out. Wake up to the ocean every morning. BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS.
Cons: check in instructions confused my husband (couldn’t locate lock boxes at first, asked for help from a very rude older tenant who said my husband should already know where everything is already) other than that an amazing stay at this place.
Traffic noise from street was expected. But I’d rather listen to the ocean waves and cars driving by than the frogs up in the mountain haha!
