In this beautiful spot at the oceanfront Kona Shores, you'll be minutes from Honl's Beach and the very heart of Kailua-Kona. Enjoy a wealth of nearby shops and restaurants up Ali'i Drive, as well as a community pool and sundeck where you can watch incredible sunsets at the water's edge.
This condo is a simple, comfortable space where you'll enter through a bright living area with a TV. The kitchen is equipped for all your cooking needs, offering white appliances (including a gas stove) and an eat-in dining table. Through the sliding doors, you'll find the sunny bedroom and access to the lanai - a lovely spot to bring your morning coffee, read the newspaper in the island breeze, or play cards after sunset with a cocktail in hand.
Kona Shores offers breathtaking views from the swimming pool and a private ocean gate to our renowned 'One Step,' a naturally occurring ocean access point for snorkelers and scuba divers. You'll be a short walk from the beach and across the street from bike rentals, perfect for visits to Kona Village. The Kona trolley is also available to guests.

Overall pleased with the property and amenities. The location was ideal for our vacation plans close to Kailua-Kona.
Pros:
* Great location to Kailua-Kona (about a 1 mile)
* Easy entry / secure
* Pool
* Balcony
* Parking spot included
* Good Kitchen - Fridge / Oven / Stove / Microwave / Dishes / Utensils / and more
Points to consider:
* The property is along Alii Drive and the front door faces street. There is some street noise.
* The unit is on the second floor.
* There is one bedroom that can be closed off with sliding doors. There is a pull out sofa bed.
* The air conditioner is a wall unit with a timer.

Very clean and cozy! A little noisy at times due to the road, but other than that it was wonderful:)

Not great overall, lots of little issues that added up to a disappointing stay. Location near Kailua was the best part. The apartment complex and apartment itself was pretty run down. We still had a great time but would not stay again.
Cons:
- NO WIFI - seriously, in 2022 the location does not have internet. There is cable but again, it's 2022... this was not clearly mentioned in the listing AT ALL.
- Missing amenities - No hairdryer (pretty basic) and no basic beach stuff (e.g. chairs) that we have experienced in past rentals in Hawaii. We had towels but that's it.
- Run down apartment - blinds were broken, doors didn't work/open, air conditioner timer didn't work, toilet was hard to flush, broken hooks, furniture all looked like it's from the 80s etc... overall just pretty shabby. needs a renovation.
- Ants - the whole place has an ant problem. Dropped a single crumb and had a swarm of ants.
- View - you look out to the other apartments and everyone can see in. This is even more of an issue because the blinds were broken. The front view was directly out to the street, and the back view was out to a staircase and the roof of a neighboring building. It's worth mentioning the sound of traffic and a garbage truck we heard each morning.
- Residents - Chain smokers sit by the entrance all day. Not great to have to walk through a cloud of smoke to get back to the apartment.
PROs:
- Location was great. Walkable to town.
- Kitchen - good space for a small rental and lots of kitchen tools.
- Pool - best view in the place.
We planned to utilize this space to work part-time remotely while experiencing Hawaii and leaving colder climate. Unfortunately, this rental barely allowed us to do this for reasons we didn't even think were possible (most notably, lack of internet - we had to bum the wifi password from some friendly neighbors). If you are spending the majority of your time exploring Hawaii and are just looking for a bare minimum place to just crash every night, this place will get the job done. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and up the budget for a better place.
