Photos and Description of the Kailua Kona vacation condo rental
2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 4

Originally the residence of Kona Makai's land-holding Hawaiian family, we have restored this home beyond its original grandeur! The discovery of hidden parquet hardwood flooring prompted us to restore and completely remodel this very unique condominium, which exemplifies Hawaiian elegance and romance. We affectionately call Kona Makai 1-302 the 'Love Shack!' Take a look, and you’ll see why!

Complete with master bedroom air-conditioning, hardwood floors, all-tile bath, entry and lanai, and a cherry wood kitchen with granite counter-tops, this special third floor home is the ultimate in serenity and island elegance.

The spectacular view from the lanai is toward Kailua Bay, where cruise ships anchor, and overlooks the Iron-Man swim course. Sunsets are viewed year round from the lanai, from the bistro style table that put you above the view obstruction of the lanai railing.

Further details for this vacation condo rental in Kailua Kona, Hawaii

The furnished tiled lanai boasts a spectacular view of the ocean and Kona Bay, with sunsets beyond compare. You will be delighted by all the little extras provided by the owners (CD collection of Hawaiian music, books on Hawaiian culture and history, binoculars for whale and dolphin sightings, and much more!)

Kona Makai is among the most sought after vacation destinations in the Kona area. This beautifully landscaped condominium community has won numerous awards for its gardens, and is walking distance to the heart of the town. The pool, spa, gas BBQ, gym (with exercise machines and weights), tennis courts, ping-pong tables, community areas and on-the-ocean lounging patio make this a complete island retreat. Known for the friendliness of it’s visitors, the complex is located well off Ali’i drive where there is no automobile traffic or noise to interrupt the peaceful ambiance.

The ocean is often safely accessible from the inlet immediately in front of the common areas, where you will find yourself within a fantastic snorkeling reef, with numerous arches and a plethora of tropical fish and sea life. We always see turtles during our swims. A large lava outcropping covered with tide pools lies immediately in front of the building awaiting your exploration.

We’re sure you’ll enjoy your stay in our unique island retreat! Welcome and Aloha! Peter & Darla

Other Activities:

boating, wildlife viewing, shopping, kayaking, spa

Spinner Dolphins off the Lanai!

Review Submitted: June 1, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2010
Yes, we really did have spinner dolphins with our morning coffee off the lanai! This was a beautiful property right on the ocean and was perfect for our needs. The condo is even more lovely than the photos, and Peter and Darla have taken great care to attend to every detail. If staying somewhere quiet, private, modern and convenient is important to you, then this is an excellent choice. We also really appreciated that Peter and Darla responded immediately to all our questions before arriving in Kona, and also during our stay. We loved that they had provided all these great extras that we did not have to rent or purchase, and were not expecting, such as: beach chairs, cooler, snorkel gear for one, boogie board, and beach towels. We also appreciated the extensive list of recommendations for restaurants, tour companies, excursions, markets, and especially BEACHES that the owners provided. The property itself is also very well maintained. We used the pool, weight room and whirlpool, and all were in great shape. The gardens are gorgeous. We would recommend this property to anyone, but particularly those looking for a romantic getaway.

Awesome Condo

Review Submitted: April 16, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
Bravo to Peter for providing such a nice condo at such a reasonable price and providing such a pleasant experience. The photos provided are a good representation of the condo, lanai and views from the condo. The complex is very well maintained.

Would recommend and will likely go back, it was hard to leave.

Owner's Response: Mahalo Will! We're happy to have provided you a great place for your vacation, and look forward to hosting you again. I'd have to add "Bravo to Darla," for she gets the credit for the eye to decor and detail! Aloha, Peter

Best Condo to Stay in on the Big Island - Great View, Beautiful Home!

Review Submitted: October 28, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010
My husband and I just spent our honeymoon at Kona Makai this past week and it was a wonderful experience. This is the second time I've stayed at this condo - the first was with my mom during college. The listing is very accurate though it and the photos really don't do the space justice. The view from the lanai is an ocean front view and it was so peaceful to sit out there in the morning.
Every morning we woke up to the sound of the ocean. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in.
The property was clean and decorated nicely. There are marble counter tops and huge ceiling fans and the loft is very unique. It's the perfect vacation spot and I've already promised some friends of mine that I'll give them the contact info.
Peter was incredibly helpful and even let us check out late on our last day. He answered all of our questions and was very wonderful to work with.
Kona Maka is in the perfect location - it's just a bit south of the main city of Kona which meant that we were able to have some privacy and that the setting was even more stunning than if we had stayed right in the city. It was still close enough to the city, shopping, restaurants, farmers markets, and a ton of other exciting things that we didn't feel like we were missing out.
It was wonderful and we will definitely be coming back!

Fall asleep to the sound of the ocean!

Review Submitted: August 24, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
We stayed in this lovely condo for a week in August. The condo was very clean and well equiped. We ate breakfast on the lanai looking out on the ocean! Every night we fell asleep listening to the wonderful sound of the ocean.tThe condo complex is beautifully landscaped and there are lounge chairs overlooking the ocean in addition to those at the pool. The owners were very helpful in answering any of our questions.
Owner's Response: Mahalo David and Diane. The lull of the ocean waves and the peaceful, beautiful views of the ocean were what drew us to this condo at Kona Makai. Aloha! Peter and Darla

Review Submitted: November 24, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
This is a wonderful beachfront condo, conveniently located in a quiet area just a short drive away from shops and restaurants and providing a great base for touring all that Big Island has to offer.

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay here thanks to the thoughtful touches that Peter and Darla have added. We especially enjoyed the peace and quiet, the sound of the ocean, the spectacular sunset views from the balcony and the lovely gardens at Kona Makai.

Our booking was very efficiently handled by Peter & Darla, who were very helpful, with near instant responses to our many emails.

We would definitely recommend Kona Makai 1-302 to anyone looking for quality accomodation in Big Island (and the rates are great too!).
