Hawai’i is open and Kona is more beautiful than ever. We are using CDC cleaning guidelines. Our place has cleaned ductwork AND repaired and wonderfully cool AC. We have purchased new clothes washer and refrigerator. All we are missing is you! 2 Bedrooms and 2Bathrooms, means you and you friends or family will have comfort and privacy. (Sleeps 2-4) Almost everything in this condo is new. The beds are queens, one is pillow top and one is firm and are equipped with luxury high thread count linens. The couch is a queen foldout. There are two full bathrooms, one with a bathtub, for the convenience of your guests. This Condo has a fully equipped kitchen. There are two BBQ decks for grilling. We have snorkeling masks, fins and other beach equipment.
The lanai has a partial view of Kailua Bay and Kona town. The east bedroom has a window with a gorgeous view of Hualalai mountain, if you are an early riser. Great location near the ocean side of the condo but away from the noise of the nightclub/restaurant. One minute walk to the ocean where you can snorkel, fish, surf or swim.
Kona is a paradise for walkers/hikers. You can walk old airport beach and there is a Keiki (kids)swim beach nearby. Every morning you can walk down to the Pier or to several areas where the locals surf. The swim area used for the Ironman Triathlon is right across the street where you can swim the same route they do or just paddle around and look at the fish. SUP is popular and rentable near the pier. The Ahu’ena Heiau of King Kamehameha is on the other side of the Pier and looks as it did when the missionaries first arrived on this Island. There is a recreational and safe beach there also.
The site of this condo is right on the routes of Independence Day and Kamehameha’s birthday parades. It is front and center for the start and finish of the Ironman championship. There are street fairs and musical performances are common on the grounds of the Palace. The Kailua Bay is where King Kamehameha and other Hawaiian royalty chose to retire. You may want to too. In the morning you can see spinner dolphins offshore, and a little bit later you can watch the deep sea fishermen offload, or the cruise ship set off. If you want more civilized activities, the restaurants and clubs are outstanding. The old palace is right across the street where they offer native arts and music as well as tours. You are next door to the first church built in the Hawaiian islands, a beautiful lava stone structure with Koa wood interior. After touring, there is a cooling salt water pool on grounds and covered, secured parking.
The Big island is the best for active vacationers. It has everything from a live volcano to an active truck and rodeo crowd. You can beach bum, snorkel, scuba or zipline and ride horses. You can even go hunting here, deep sea fish, watch the stars from a huge telescope and snow ski down a volcano. The Big Island can be your paradise....

We enjoyed our stay! The location was exactly what we wanted. Right in the middle of shops and restaurants. The size of the condo was perfect for us. We loved the balcony! Just a few minor things...the couches and chairs are very worn. The bathrooms are very small, which is totally fine. I just wish there were shelves for toiletries and cosmetics. Neither bed was very comfortable. Lastly, the dryer takes hours to dry the smallest of loads. Overall, we were happy and would stay there again.

This condo was the perfect retreat! It had the best location in Kona, parking was on site and free, and it had equipment for snorkeling and the beach!! The owner answered all communications quickly. The beds were very comfortable; kitchen was well equipped; and washer and dryer were in the unit!! Thx for sharing your piece of paradise with us!!

I was very happy with this property. Everything is in walking distance with some shops being on the garage level of the condo. The place was very clean and quiet with three working A/C units including one in each bedroom. Our group loved the large outdoor patio and the included onsite parking.

The property was just as described. The only issue we found was that the floor was not as clean as expected and we found the bottoms of our feet continuously getting dirty. So even though we were asked to not wear shoes in the apartment, we kept a clean pair of sandals in the apt to walk around in. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed the premises. The closeness of the apt to the center of Kona was a treat as we were able to walk to all of our favourite restaurants, stores, attractions.

Nice clean and convenient condo for our family group. Kitchen is small but adequate, lanai was a favorite spot for relaxing and the pool a nice break from ocean swimming. Easy walk to the main drag with lots of tourist stuff and decent eateries. Small beach was only a couple blocks away. Open air farmer's market a real plus and the Catholic Church another short walk for Sunday Mass. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable retreat that is an easy drive from airport and a good launching spot for all the sightseeing treats afforded by this beautiful island.

The location of this unit can't be beat. You are literally in the middle of everything - cafes, bars, restaurants, historical buildings, beaches.
This unit is in an older building, but I found it to be much nicer than the VRBO pictures show. We especially loved the very large lanai.
One of the things I hadn't considered before booking this unit is how hot it gets in town. Having mini-splits in the living room and both bedrooms made this unit an oasis to the heat of the late afternoon and early evening.
Patti, the owner, is really responsive and caring about your stay here.
I can not think of anything negative to say. This place is wonderland in all respects, our stay could not have been better and Patti's place is a great value for the money.

This is a nice place to stay in a great location. Very close to restaurants, bars, and shopping. A short walk to the bay/pier. There was some initial confuse on the maid service prior to our arrival but we were able to work matters out to everyone’s satisfaction.

Patricia is a super host for a reason, she kept in touch with me, provided very clear check in instructions and I really enjoyed the condo and the location. The pool needs to be cleaned but that is not on the host or related to the condo.
I felt safe in the building and in using the walkway from the parking garage to the shopping and the ocean. I highly recommend this condo. The location is awesome, close to everything.

Property was exactly as described. Was very well stocked with dishes / cutlery / cookware. as well as some essential cooking items like butter, spices, condiments. There was also a good stock of toiletries and laundry pods. Lots of beach gear too, we made good use of beach towels and boogie boards.
The size of the lanai was impressive - plenty of room to eat, stretch, lie beach wear out to dry.
Parking was a breeze, no issues accessing the garage. Pool area well kept, and no issues accessing with the security key provided.
A/C, laundry machines, all easy to operate. No maintenance issues encountered.
Easy access to the main roads by car and by foot, we enjoyed walking both directions along the oceanfront road.
For those that need to know, the mattresses are on the soft side. For our kids that was zero impact but the adults in our party prefer a firmer mattress.
Would happily stay again if returning to the Big Island. Mahalo!

Very nice condo in perfect location for touring Big Island. While the bedrooms and baths are small, they were perfect because our time was spent touring. We would certainly seek this property on another trip. The hosts were so nice to stay in contact with us.
