The Kona Ali’i condo is perfectly located with sunset views and Hawaiian plumeria and BBQ aromas!
We were able to walk to dinner each evening and parking was included in our stay!
The building is aging a bit and the unit doesn’t have AC, so be aware if you’re traveling in the hotter months, but the location and responsiveness of the management makes up for those tiny concerns.
We would certainly stay at this location again!

Whilst the property was functional the furniture and general look was very dated.
The mezzanine bedroom was good but no curtains of any note so prepare to not sleep well. The showers were fine but not f you’re 6ft then aren’t high enough on the wall. The pool was good and overall we had a great time on the island

Perfectly centralized spot for the island. We could walk to restaurants and shops with ease. Check in and out was a piece of cake. The place was nice and clean and even had some beach stuff we could use. Overall great experience.

It was perfectly fine, except the upstairs shower has some issue where the hot water is just a trickle, so it is unusable. Luckily, the second bathroom downstairs has a shower, but it is not as convenient.

Great location within walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops. There is one designated covered parking spot next to the building.
There is no A/C, but several fans available. The washer and dryer are very small, but worked well.
The property management company is not available by phone or text outside of business hours.

Nice condo and we enjoyed the location as it was central to many of the restaurants and we walked to dinner every night. The shopping was convenient as well.

We were very pleased with the condo. Great location - close to water, restaurants and shops. It was well outfitted with supplies - dishes, linens - even beach toys. The only slight negative was the the washer didn't not work well and the dryer left the contents damp. We were told these are being replaced. Management was responsive to inquiries and very helpful. Would highly recommend this VRBO.
