[June 2020: Due to pandemic concerns, we shut down operations April 1 - June 9; the island has "opened up" again, and we are again comfortable hosting Kona guests! Our cleaning person Dianna, best on the big island, is there to make sure our unit is extra clean!]
Tastefully designed and newly upgraded reflecting quality and comfort, this top floor cozy condo is nestled among the tropical treetops, with private lanai and peek-a-boo views of the ocean. My wife and I affectionately call our unit #322 the Kona Dove. It is, in our opinion, one of the more desirable units in the Kona Islander Inn complex; ours is a top-floor unit, away from the traffic noise of Alii drive and Kuakini Highway, but close enough to hear soothing surf sounds at night. Our west-and-south facing lanai has an extra-expansive and open view since our unit is also a corner unit. And my wife Therese is an artist and designer- we keep our unit lovely and clean inside!

Very cute condo with small view of ocean. Adorably decorated. Enjoyed location very much. Only disadvantages were not full kitchen, no washer/dryer in unit, not enough parking. My elderly mother and I had to park block away at 9:30 pm and walk to condo.

We really liked our stay here, the unit was small but ideal for a couple. The unit is on the top floor located in the corner of the building, affording a glimpse of the ocean from the lanai. The location is great, easy walking to the ocean street and real fine resorts. Didn't use the amenities on property, too busy enjoying the Big Island!

Cozy, comfortable, beautifully decorated unit. Unit was quiet and clean. Queen sized bed was very comfortable. Kitchen area was small, but worked out fine for breakfast and simple meals. We’d be happy to stay here again sometime.

We were here for 2 nights, and it was dreamy, sunrise and sunset colors from the balcony, had everything we needed, and super close to the beach front. David was kind enough to help with a reservation I botched at the last minute, and we are so thankful! Mahalo!

Host was extremely responsive (both before staying and during our stay) and place was very clean. Had stayed at another unit in the Kona Islander the year prior which had a few additional things (couch indoors/on balcony), but even without this was a very nice location.
Only things that stuck out bringing the rating down slightly were the unit has pool access (and beach access) but did not provide beach towels to guests (so plan accordingly if you stay). The location also did not have paper towel on hand. Last thing, is less to do with the host/unit, but the employee working the check in/check out for the complex was extremely rude and when we asked if bags could be held, she tried to get $20 from us to do so (with no guarantees they would be safe - seems extremely sketchy). Once again, this is more on the complex, but still part of the rental process that was worth mentioning. Overall worth a stay here

If you are looking for a clean and well located, yet affordable place in Kailua-Kona, look no farther. This place also includes beach chairs and small cooler to make your trips to the beach easy.

The location was very good, walkable to the water and convenient for the activities we wanted to do. It was modern and up to date. The patio was comfortable but not a good view of the water because the vegetation had grown. Due to limited space, the bathroom and kitchen share the same counter and sink for food preparation/cleanup and for shaving/brushing teeth, etc.

Property and service was very nice. Parking was a little challenging.
