Cleaner is Covid 19 safety trained. Celebrate the best in indoor/outdoor living in this spacious and well-kept ground floor unit in Keauhou Akahi! Conveniently situated on south Ali’i drive, the condo is 1/3 mile from Keauhou bay and less than one mile from the Keauhou Shopping center. Unlike northern Kona, Keauhou is very lush and green - it is where the Hawaiian Royalty, the Ali’i, once spent their leisure time! This sought-after location is perfect for golfers, cyclists, fishermen, water sports-enthusiasts and adventure seekers, as well as those desiring some well-deserved R&R. The Kona coast is the drier part of the island - less rain = more fun for you!
Being a ground level unit, the natural breeze keeps the condo cool and comfortable year round. A fully equipped kitchen will allow you to take advantage of the island’s fresh produce and fish while viewing the sunset. Extra linens and beach towels are available at your convenience.
The covered lanai has a gas BBQ, ample outdoor seating, and a retractable sun shade, with splendid ocean views. One advantage of this unit is the private garden - where you will find beautiful flowers and herbs growing, birds enjoying the birdbath and geckoes climbing the drainpipes. The grounds are very well kept with mature landscaping, reminiscent of a botanical garden. Across the driveway, the saline pool is picturesquely situated on the Kona Country Club. Watch golfers tee off at the 9th hole you soak up the sun poolside. Rinse off from the ocean or beach in the open-air hot/cold shower adjacent to the pool.
In this location, a car isn’t a necessity; but if you do, there is secure and shady parking nearby the unit. Both the Hele-On bus and the Keahou Resort open-air trolley stop close by on Ali’i Drive. Many local beaches and attractions are accessible via public transit. The Keahou shopping center has everything you will need - grocery and drug stores, farmer’s market, cinema, post office and restaurants.
Indulge your senses in local finds from the twice weekly farmer’s markets, each in walking distance. Go taste freshly roasted Kona coffee at a local plantation. Snorkel in crystal-clear Kahalu'u bay. Watch dolphins from an outrigger canoe. Visit the historical City of Refuge. Cycle on the same roads as the Ironman. Explore the ocean on a stand up paddle board. Fish for tuna. Visit the vivacious live volcano. Swim with manta rays. Be awakened by soft bird song. Experience the magnificent Hawaiian sunset. This is YOUR paradise!

This was an excellent home base for a snorkeling vacation. The two queen beds (one of them a comfortable Murphy bed) make it best for two couples.
Diane, the owner is responsive and helpful. She gave us good information about the area along with complete details for the condo. A lock box system with another keys available made access efficient.
The listing describes two distinct bedrooms. The pictures confused us on the sleeping arrangements. The “living area” is the second bedroom. (Louvered sliders and blinds block light but not sound. This accessory room isn’t a regular bedroom. It was comfortable for the person staying there. The fourth person slept on the sofa which was comfortable as well. She didn’t open it as a sofa bed.)
The condo cools beautifully. Ceiling fans, good window screens, and screen doors provide efficient cross ventilating air flow. Wonderful.
Especially good for snorklers, divers, and swimmers. Lots of hangers, a hook system on the patio, and a drying rack made it easy to dry swim suits, etc. The patio closet held very useful snorkeling gear. We borrowed fins and a mask that fit; we didn’t have to rent extra gear.
The kitchen was also well equipped. Bountiful towels, linens, toilet paper, paper towels and more — the condo was very well stocked.
The lush garden obscures the view of the ocean but we knew it was there. A lovely lime tree provided fresh juice for the papayas from the market.
We had a fabulous vacation.

This place is about 5-10 mins from downtown Kona. It is very convenient to get grocery, etc. from Costco, Walmart, supermarket, etc. Few cruises near by, 5 mins waking. My kids went to Outrigger to watch Manta Ray in the evening. Floor was little sticky when we arrived. We had Tiny bugs (fruit flies?). We were not sure where they came from. Electric kettle was rusted on the bottom and need to be replaced.
Otherwise, this is a wonderful place to stay in Kona.

This was our 5th visit to the Big Island and for the last 3 times we've stayed at this wonderful, ideally located, well stocked & verrry clean condo. You can feel the owners' TLC and their wanting to make visitors as comfortable as possible. Even on the rare gray days, the sunsets are merely fantastic. We're anxious to return again and again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was close to the main city, grocery store, shopping & nice Beaches. The pool was a great addition to the property that our family really enjoyed.

This condo is great if you are a slightly mobility impaired. There are no stairs, but you do have to walk around the building. The showers are easy to get into. There was a very comfortable queen size bed at a good height. Our friend slept on the Murphy bed and she said it was very comfortable also. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you will need to cook. There are a few extra spices which is great. I have rented in the complex five or six times over the years, different units and I will definitely come back to this condo again. Easy to communicate with the owners.

This was our first experience with vrbo and it was perfect for us. Diane, the Host was very helpful with directions, and instructions about the condo so it was very easy to locate the condo and get inside. It was exactly as described on the website. Everything was clean and ready to move in, all we had to do was unpack and go to the store for food. It is a very quiet place and friendly neighbors. Even though there was no AC there was usually a nice breeze and the ceiling fans kept it cool. The pool is near the unit, clean and very inviting. If we ever make it back to Kona we would for sure stay here again. Thanks again Diane for sharing your condo with our family and making our trip that much more special. Aloha, Willi and family

Nice place. Kinda odd layout with 2nd bedroom more of a dining room with blinds and sliding doors. Was very clean. Nice to have the 2 bathrooms. Kitchen well stocked. The beach chairs and snorkel stuff was pretty dated so we rented from Boss Frogs.
