Imagine opening the door to your unit, gazing through a twelve-foot wide glass patio door system that frames a view of the aquamarine sea crashing on black lava rocks separated from the lanai by 25 yards of lush, green lawn – and if luck is with you, watching whales and dolphins playfully frolic in the sea. See it all on our video: https://youtu.be/LT-pa79mnfY
That same view will greet you every morning as you exit your bedroom to start the day. Whether you come to Kona for romance, solitude, adventure, or even to work remotely, we believe our unit offers the amenities and surroundings to make your time there amazing!
To while away the day one can sit outside on the lanai and be caressed by the trade winds, or enjoy a book on the couch inside being cooled by the new ductless air-conditioner; either way our unit has unobstructed views of the ocean and the beautifully-maintained, tropical foliage of the Kona Isle common areas. The bedroom and living room have high-tech fans that operate so quietly and efficiently you may decide to forgo using the AC: especially in light of the flow-through ventilation offered by the new jalousie windows in the bedroom.
The décor of our unit is a blend of old-style “Island Chic” mixed with modern touches. We have retained the rattan furniture while updating the frames with new Sumbrella Cushions. We recently added a mango wood table and media console to the living room. The kitchen has granite countertops and is designed to facilitate the efficient creation of great meals. It is also well stocked with cookware, utensils, rice cooker, and a Cuisinart coffee maker - to make a perfect Kona coffee! A Bosch refrigerator operates unobtrusively in the background to keep your groceries well chilled and frozen. There is an ergonomic Humanscale stool at the counter which will comfortably support you whether you are using the counter as a prep station, eating location, or work station.
A high-speed router provides Wi-Fi throughout the condo and a flatscreen 55” Sony TV has cable channels and most major streaming apps installed (bring your own login credentials). The remodeled bathroom has a walk-in shower for easy accessibility.
In 2022 we installed a new GE dishwasher, washer, and dryer. The new appliances are very quiet and add to the convenience of the unit. Also, we installed a split sunshade (with a crank mechanism; no ropes!) for the Lanai in May 2022. Finally, to help those of you who travel with portable consumer electronics we installed: bedside lamps that feature built-in wireless charging, USB Type A ports, and electrical outlets in their base; and living room electrical outlets with built-in Type A and C USB ports. The lanai has an anodized aluminum folding table and sumptuous, high-backed, swivel rocking chairs - the ultimate in comfort to watch the most amazing sunsets. The remodel is complete!
Kona Isle is a small ocean-front complex that reflects the style of classic Hawaii with well-maintained, lovely grounds and all the conveniences of home. This beautiful complex has a great barbecue area with picnic tables where people gather for friendly conversation or to watch the sunset and enjoy dinner. The pool is heated and surrounded by lounge chairs and tables. There is a sandy area adjacent to the ocean where one can bask in the sunshine in lounge chairs or enjoy the shade and cooling ocean breezes while watching dolphins, whales and turtles. This...

We absolutely loved our stay in Yan and Gary's beautiful oceanfront condo. We have stayed in many different condos in Kona over the years, but this was our first time at the Kona Isle. It will not be our last, as we really enjoyed the vibe of the complex as well as the location.
This unit was direct oceanfront and the view was spectacular! Yan and Gary have done an excellent job of furnishing and provisioning the condo. It was the best equipped kitchen we have ever seen in a vacation rental... even sharp knives! The bed was extremely comfortable.
I spent most of my time in the super comfy swivel rocking chairs on the lanai when we were "at home" in the condo. It was a perfect place to watch the beautiful waves breaking, the many types of birds in the grassy lawn and of course, the gorgeous sunsets.
The AC unit in the living room did a good job of cooling the bedroom at night, which was the only time we needed it. During the day, the ceiling fans kept us quite comfortable.
We will be back!

This condo delivers the relaxing, tropical, low-key Hawaiian isle experience. The place is updated, clean and comfortable with most amenities. The best part is the oceanfront location with lanai -- looking out to lush grass, palm trees, ocean waves and feeling the sea breeze. Along with the inviting mini beach of lounge chairs in sand, under the trees. The location is fairly ideal for walking or driving into town and exploring other parts of the island. We would stay here again.

Fantastic views from the Lanai. Condo is clean, well kept, and has a kitchen with everything you will need. Easy communications with owners made our stay even more enjoyable. We are looking forward to our next trip here.

Everything was fabulous and exceeded our expectations! The suite was very clean and bright and was equipped with everything we needed from cooking meals to being beach-ready. They have thought of everything for an easy and enjoyable stay!
The highlight was waking up to the amazing view right outside the lanai - very private and comfortable to enjoy morning coffee and breakfast or a glass of wine while watching the amazing sunsets.
Perfect location in Kona - close enough to everything but far enough away for peace and quiet. Again, the oceanfront location of suite was perfect to watch the surf, sunsets, and whales - which was the highlight.
10/10 highly recommend!

Beautiful oceanfront condo. The condo was quite comfortable and spacious and well equipped. Loved that there were beach chairs and an ice chest for our various outings. Having A/C for overnight made sleeping comfortable. Property was beautifully landscaped and loved the beach area for soaking up the sun and the pool for cooling down. Our favorite spot is the lanai and whale watching and taking in the beautiful sunsets. We definitely plan on coming back and staying in this condo again.

In my many many many years of renting vacation cottages, I have never seen a home so well-stocked with everything. We took spices and such, but there were many things available had we needed them. Every kitchen utensil imaginable is there. There were numerous things that we bought but were in the house such as trash bags, cooking spray, olive oil, and plastic storage bags. The cooler and wonderful beach chairs were greatly appreciated. A washer and dryer is a great bonus even though we did not use it. Now…..LOCATION! The beauty of the gorgeous water and the pounding of the ocean waves could entertain us for hours. We had not anticipated the fabulous whale watching!!!!!!!! That was amazing. The grounds were immaculate as was the great grilling area. We did not use the on-site swimming pool, but the fascinating tidal pool nextdoor was a jewel. Gorgeous small birds entertained us right on the front lawn.
We were fortunate to have the full moon during our stay. That, combined with the gorgeous sunsets, was a beautiful ambient touch.
We could not have been more pleased with the condo and the area of Kona.

The view from the condo is amazing! The salt water pool is right next door and was so much fun to relax in. The condo complex was neat and tidy, and we really appreciated the quiet hours between 10pm and 8am. I only have two suggestions to make it even better: Accent lighting in the living room would be a huge improvement. It’s hard to read on the couch at night with just ceiling lighting, plus it’s just not very cozy. Also, shades for the lanai doors/windows would be great so you can walk from the bathroom to the bedroom in your birthday suit without putting on a peep show for anyone who might be passing by. Oh - and providing shampoo and soap would be nice. We got in at night and had to run to the store for those items so we could shower after a long day of travel.

Not very big but it was just what we were looking for. How can you beat being on the ocean watching the waves crash on the shore? Very well updated and stocked. Location is fantastic. Will be back again.

Yan and Gary’s condo is a true gem. It’s a perfect layout for a one bedroom and had a well equipped kitchen and a bright airy space. The lanai is incredible with an ocean view of the waves crashing on the rocks and amazing sunsets.
The location in Kona is perfect for exploring downtown to the north and all the excellent spots south of Kona. Easy access to two step for awesome snorkeling, magic sands for playing in the waves and great bars and restaurants in town.
The condo complex is never too busy and everyone is relaxed and friendly.
If you love tide pools you can walk right out the back door to the rocks to explore and see eels, urchins and tons of fish. We have seen dolphins from the lanai on every visit.
It’s truly an amazing place for someone looking for a great Big Island and Kona experience
