Fantastic stay

We stayed in the condo over thanksgiving 2012. We cooked most of our meals and ate every meal on the lanai and usually watched whales and spinner dolphins. The condo was amazingly comfortable and a great home base for exploring including hiking and snorkeling. We would enthusiastically recommend the condo to anyone looking for a place on the big island. As an aside, we never needed to use the AC, the cross breeze made everything very comfortable, even on very warm days. The info the owners provided for hiking, eating and shopping was also very helpful as it was our first time on the island.

Owner's Response: Mahalo Sabra! We're happy you loved Kona Makai 1-302 and experienced so much in Kona. The constant presence of the ocean in the off shore breezes and the active marine life are among our favorite features of this condo. Peter and Darla

A great place to enjoy the west side of the island
Submitted: November 11, 2012

The Kona Makai was a wonderful condo, roomy, great view, and very quiet. The grounds were beautiful with tropical trees and flowering plants lining the walkways. The condo was close to downtown Kona but far enough away that the area was not busy. The kitchen was filled with all the essentials and the washer/dryer came in handy. The furnishings were beautiful and comfortable. The pool was very nice, and we made good use of the grills just downstairs by the pool area. The condo is in a good place to explore up and down the west side of the island. The information provided by Peter and Darla on good snorkeling sites, places to visit, places to eat were very helpful and the directions were great.

Delightful stay from start to finish. The condo was clean and well furnished. Peter & Darla gave us lots of good information on where to shop/dine/visit while we were in Kona. The view and sound of the ocean was so awesome, just what two city kids needed for a week of relaxation. Great location for diving. We hope to return someday, and reserving the Love Shack will be top priority when we do. Thanks for everything!

My boyfriend and I spent four wonderful nights here at 1-302! Our only regret was that we didn't stay long enough. We arrived to a well-maintained, roomy condo with everything we needed. Though we spent very little time in the condo, it was equipped with beach chairs, noodle, towels, and even coolers for beach days. Word of warning: when we arrived, all of the beach chairs, etc were stacked neatly on the lanai. We awoke the first day to loud banging on the door and rudely informed by Kona Makai staff that our lanai was in violation for having things outside. It was simple enough as we moved it inside, but certainly gave me a scare for something I didnt do!
All in all, wonderful stay! I enjoyed a clean setting that felt like home. Watching sunsets and getting up early to drink coffee on the lanai was so relaxing. We would come back in a heartbeat and are longing to be lulled to sleep by the sound of the ocean again! Thanks Peter and Darla! Mahalo.

The Kona Makai condo was beautiful. The ocean views were spectacular! The master bedroom is romantic and very roomy with a wonderful ocean breeze coming through screened windows. The kitchen and bathroom are updated and provide ample room and basic necessities. The living room adjacent to the kitchen was comfortable for two. The staircase leading up to the bedroom loft was very pretty; however, it was not as cool and breezy on the bedroom loft side and tended to be uncomfortable for sleeping, according to my teenage boys. Would do well to add a working air conditioning to the unit if bedroom loft is used. Also, need to probably update DVD player, It seemed to not recognize the RedBox, newer movies that were rented and would hesitate several times during the movie, which can be quite irritating when watching a movie. Overall, this is an ideal condo for a couple wanting to spend a relaxed and enjoyable time in Kona.

Spinner Dolphins off the Lanai!
Submitted: June 1, 2011
Stayed: 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.

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.

Best Condo to Stay in on the Big Island - Great View, Beautiful Home!
Submitted: October 28, 2010
Stayed: 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!
Submitted: August 24, 2010
Stayed: 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

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!).
