103 Reviews of Property 294457 in Kailua Kona, Hawaii

My wife and I have been to the Big Island and Kona many times now and are fortunate to have stayed at Gene and Charlie's condos twice, once in the 2 bdrm. and this last time in the 1 bdrm. Fantastic everything is all I can say, from the million dollar views to the gormet kitchens and upscale furnishings, these will always be the places we will stay when returning. Normally, we now forego the normal "touristy" things, however, this time we decided to do the nighttime MantaRay snorkel cruise and should say it's a "Don't Miss" experience. And as an added bonus, drive down the coast about a half hour and stop by Mrs. Sudy"s coffee farm. It's a combination of Old McDonald's farm, a coffee plantation, and Dr. Doolittle. You will know you're there when you pass the Zebra and his pal (a donkey) on the right side of the road. Stop and chat. If you're really lucky, you will be able to watch the mating habits of a beautiful peacock and peahen.

This island at its variety of terrain, flora, and even fauna grows on you. We own a 2 week timeshare in Kauai and usually combine them with a week on this island and now have our favorite one or two bedroom condo to come back to every year. Thanks Gene and Charlie, you're more than good owners, you are good friends................... Phil and Karla

This is the second time renting from Gene and Charlie. The description of the condo and pictures provided were exactly what we experienced when we arrived. The condo was clean and very well maintained and was fully equipped with all the items we needed to move right in and begin our vacation. The one bedroom unit, which sleeps four, has an open, very nice flow. The pull out bed is extremely comfortable. Close attention was paid to every detail and it shows. . The property is beautiful and the pool and grilling area (which was recently redone), along with outdoor tables to enjoy your meals, was well kept. Being a short distance from the downtown area, you could walk there in about ten minutes. The condo is in a perfect area, close to everything but in an area away from crowds and the noise from the main road. Charlie and Gene are the perfect hosts and are always helpful with travel tips, places to go and see, etc. Our deposit was promptly refunded within a week after returning home. The Manta Ray Night Snorkeling Trip was the most awesome thing I have ever experienced. Best place to eat seafood was "The Fish Hopper". Best Breakfast sandwich place was "The Green Flash", right next to the condo! "The Coffee Shack" a quaint little place maybe 30 minutes south of the condo, has a wonderful breakfast and a beautiful view of the valley. Nice place to start your day. You should look them up! We have already recommended this condo to some co-workers and clients. I have no reservations about them enjoying their stay at Alii Villas in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Mahalo Gene & Charlie - We will be back!

The pictures do not do justice to this completely renovated one bedroom unit. We use of wood and granite and tile was unquestionably the best I've ever seen. The lanai gave us a sense of peace each morning as we had breakfast and again each evening as we relaxed before retiring. The sense of community was so welcoming with the other owners that we met. We are hoping to bring friends next year to this awesome accommodation, and possibly rent both of the units that Gene and Charlie have. We can't wait to make our next reservation at this awsome accommodation. Mahalo, Kelly & Pat

This Alii Villa Ocean view condo is absolutely beautiful, relaxing, and above what we had even expected. The remodel has many delightful and thoughtful high quality upgrades that make this a very luxurious stay fror the lighting and the art on the walls, to the marble kitchen, the walk in shower, and the clever magnets for holding the front door open for breezes throughout the condo. We enjoyed many meals on the balcony enjoying the ocean view, the sunset, the breezes, and the pool activity. We enjoyed being lulled to sleep with the sounds of the ocean. The grounds are meticulously maintained and we felt very welcomed in the complex as guests. They had nice touches for enjoying the ocean with snorkel gear, boogie board, nice pool towels and pool workout weights. The pool even has warm showers! The owners were very responsive and returned my security deposit within the week. I definitely would stay here again and have highly recommend it to others looking for a lovely home away from home and a place for R&R after daily Kona adventures!

Gene and Charlie
You have the most beautiful place. You made our vacation a very pleasant stay. When any one that lived your complex asked where we were staying and we told them & they always said say no more that you had the most beautiful places in the complex. It made the three flights of stairs worth it. We have been to the islands 21 times and this is the nicest place we have stayed and would recommend to anyone and would diffently stay there on our next visit.Thanks again.

We couldn't believe our eyes when we walked into this beautiful condo! Exactly as described and as depicted in the photos. We spent alot of time on the lanai enjoying the oceanview and peace & quiet too. Exceptionally well equipped and our perfect home away from home for 4 weeks. The pool area is wonderful and we met alot of very nice people too. The only downside is that both this one bedroom condo and their two bedroom condo are mostly booked for the next 2 Februarys already. We've booked our weeks for 2014!!!

We stayed in the newly renovated condo the last week in August. We love the decor! The property is well maintained and the people are very friendly. We covered most the island and spent lots of time exploring the beaches. We will definitely return for another visit, it was very relaxing!

This condo may have been great before but the renovation is outstanding - comfortable elegance and design!! It is spotlessly clean and bright, quiet, with a layout that is spacious, inviting and a penthouse view of the ocean through gently waving palms that is captivating. All that one needs for staying for weeks (or months!!) is there - cooking (if you must!), washer and dryer, beautiful bath and comfortable bed!! Or, you could just sit and read in the living area, write letters facing the ocean, eat on the lanai, swim in the beautiful pool - whatever!! Don't miss your chance - these hosts will make your stay unforgettable - and it shows!! A beautiful property!! We loved it!!!!!
