Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We liked both the Kona Makai complex and this unit. The location is excellent – oceanfront, so you can hear the waves while you’re on the lanai, and just a short drive to restaurants and shops in Kailua-Kona. We ate most meals at the unit, so appreciated the convenience of the farmers market on Ali’i Drive (great fruit and vegetables) and three supermarkets nearby (SackNSave, KTA and Safeway). The kitchen is a bit dated, but everything worked well, and we had all the pots, pans, dishes, etc., that we needed. There are also three gas barbecues at the waterfront.

Other things we liked: very comfortable bed and pillows, lots of closet space, beautifully landscaped grounds, two tennis courts on the property, nice pool (if a tad chilly) and hot tub, strong wifi signal, plenty of parking, and peace and quiet. We also liked the general atmosphere. We spoke to a number of owners who live there permanently or most of the year and found them very friendly and welcoming towards us as renters, and we also found the maintenance staff pleasant and attentive. We’ve stayed in other condos in the Kailua-Kona area, and this is definitely our favourite.

Lovely, convenient complex with the best sunset viewing right on the edge of swirling waves and tossing surf. Especially fine for me as I have lived in Kona and sought a serene, home style condo equipped with everything from coolers to sand chairs. Made me feel as if I had never left the islands! Thoroughly enjoyed the pool, proximity to the ocean and town, as well as the well manicured garden. Must say too, the new bed is a dream! Definitely anticipate a repeat vacation in the same spot.

We were just here for a week in April and have also stayed at several other units in the Kona Makai complex over the years. Compared to other units we have stayed in this was one of the very best values. The unit was clean and comfortable (esp. the new king bed!). Plenty of dishware, seating, linens, towels, and beach accessories. Also the owner has numerous (recent) books on Kona available for your use. If you are seeking a luxury resort with granite countertops, this unit may not be for you. But if you want comfortable, clean and a good-value, it's a good deal. Owner was easy to work with and has a nearby property manager on the island.

Most basic, don't count on a good nights rest.

The condo is located close to the tourist shopping area, has a nice garden view,pool with ocean view, but the furnishings are pretty basic. Building looks circa 1970 and it took 2 of us to open the slider to the Lanai.
Was surprised to see white plastic chairs at the dining table, and a mix match of glassware. Only 1 decent coffee mug, rest all corelle ware. The bed was the worst part, mattress had no support and had to be more than 20 years old, and had fingerfoam topper which did not improve it.
There were a couple boogie boards, 2 snd chairs and umbrella for beachgoers.
Stayed in much nicer place in Kau district for same price, and NEW bed!
Owner's Response: It's unfortunate that any person can make a bogus review without having made any complaint to the owner or property manager. I had repeat customers on either side spending weeks prior to and after this 4 night stay who had nothing but good things to say. The rate given is $400 below the going rate thru the property manager vs VRBO, so if there is lower rate it is not for this complex. This complex has one of the best reputations in Kona as having beautiful grounds that are meticulously maintained. The furnishings are not from the 70's and are routinely replaced. The bed is only a few years old and the 2k sofa sleeper is less than a year old. The property manager received no notice of the sliding door needing lubricant/cleaning of salt air, or any other complaint. Nor did the people right before and right after ( it was back to back rentals) have any issue. Providing beach equipment and bogi boards, snorkels etc is an extra bonus. This is the first complaint I had about the bed which is not old but might have not been the same as what they were used to. I will replace it if it's as bad as they said, especially considering I'll be spending several weeks there. The plastic chairs are for the outside patio table, not the inside dining table and are subject to the salty humid climate, hense plastic holds up the best for patio furniture. I will be there next month to check and make any replacements. I rely on the property manager and comments made to the property manager or me from clients when I am not there. We have never received any negative comments or complaints in the last 11 years of rentals. The property manager is available 24x7 on their emergency number and both the owner and manager received no calls or comments from this client prior to this post.

We had a great time. The condo is very nice and is in a great location. Josh loved walking around on the lava off the pool deck. We enjoyed our breakfast out on the lanai every morning. We saw some dolphins swimming by the first morning we were there!
Thank you again. We really had a fun vacation.
