Aloha!
Welcome to Pineapple Place Reimagined! Our 2 bed 1 bath condo in lovely Kona sleeps 6, with access to an amazing oceanfront pool! In fact we just learned its the only residential ocean front pool in Kona! So therefore its the best pool in Kona! It's our tiny slice of real estate & we love sharing it with others. Great location 1 mile south of Kona
We are happy to report we donated $600 to Maui Relief last year. We are going to keep giving back in 2025 and will donate a portion of our proceeds to a local Kona charity.
Thanks to all of you we are on the verge of Premier Host
We have been hosting in Hawaii for 6 years now! Every year we take feed back from our guests both good and bad and aim to improve our place. This year we reimagined the pineapple place. Its still the same pineapple place you loved.. but with some new guest friendly features! Read on!
The First and most important change is TAXES are now included in the price! So no extra charge for Hawaii tax anymore. The price you see is the price you pay. Our accountant said please don't do this.. but our guests come first!
Check out is now 11 am! We know how hard it is to get moving in the morning and pack up. We are giving you an extra hour to pack up!
More flexible cancellations: We changed our policy to the most flexible VRBO has!
New discount for Hawaii residents. You live on the big island and want to get away for a few days? Or maybe you are coming over from Oahu. Just let us know you are a Hawaii resident with proof (photo of drivers license) and we will give you a 10% discount (except Iron man and holidays).
Want to get away and work from home in paradise? We have upgraded wifi, as well as a new fan on the lanai for the best place to work. Because nothing is better than working outside!
Our space is small (about 600 sq ft) but has everything you need for a great Hawaiian Vacation! Amenities include a community OCEAN FRONT POOL and BBQ area!!!, a small but fully equipped kitchen just updated with new pots and pans!, wifi, Roku Smart TV, private Lanai with new privacy bamboo!, NO STAIRS, assorted beach gear (new snorkels and fins), App based or coin laundry on the property, 1 assigned parking space with additional guest parking potentially available (no oversized vehicles, contact if you have one and we will try to help you out)
Unbeatable Kailua-Kona Location - Steps from Ali'i Drive, Ocean access from the property with lovely tide pools, I saw an octopus last year!, Not recommended for swimming as its a bit rough.. but perfect for the sunset! Or rent a fishing pole and try fishing, just don't clean your fish in our condo!!!)
The condo is 1 mile south of downtown and 2 miles North of magic sands beach! Grab a Kona Coffee from Green Flash next door and have a lovely morning stroll! its one of our favorite things to do! Or rent a bike from the bike rack across the street and bike to happy hour at Lava Java or Huggos on the Rocks!
The Big Island is home to unique landscapes and gorgeous wildlife so get exploring (its why its the best island!) We highly recommend KonaStyle catamarans. Our neighbor is the first mate on the boat and its a great time!
Volcano National Park, Manta Ray diving (a must), Mauna Kea observatory, and Waipo Valley are all amazing! If you have any questions please ask us as we have a long list of recommendations! especially if you like happy ...

There are many things we appreciated about this condo and a few things that probaly could use some attention. The location was good and the pool had a great view and was a definite plus after a long day in the sun. However, the place was very small and better suited for a couple or small family. We did have a lot of trouble locking the door which looks to have been damaged the hardware should be replaced. Upon arrival, it needed to be aired out due to a strong cleaner smell. I think the main that was missing was that welcoming feeling or personal touch. It was relaxing to sit outside on the patio and overall it was a pretty quiet place to come back to after a long day of exploration.

I'm not sure why this homeowner feels You should not get the access information until you're already on a plane and headed that way operating on blind faith that they are not scammers but that's the way you have to book this one, 'if you book this one". We trust them with hundreds of dollars for a couple of nights for months and they can't trust us with a door code 24 hours in advance. We have been VRBO owners since 2009 and have also used the service to rent from others since 2009 and have never encountered this from another owner before. Providing the cheapest toilet paper the store sells at over 300 per night..... Really? And only two towels there's no way this place could accommodate six full sized people but that's how it's advertised. So if you're reading this and your party is larger than 4 or you need more than 2 full beds and 2 love seats, you're going to be disappointed. I've never given another VRBO less than 5 stars because I know how it is being in this game but I just couldn't let this go on without saying something.

Stayed 9 days. The apartment is perfect for one or two couples who spend most of their time out and about the island. Close to the ocean, close to the town shops and restaurants, and easy to find. Well worth it!

Been staying at Kona Shores for 13 years 2.5 to 3 months at a time
It is by far the best unit we’ve stayed in
You can actually suntan on the lanii
Both bedrooms have sliding glass doors to enter and exit
Very nice and comfortable stay
We will be back next year for 2.5 months
And thanks to Justin for all his help and guidance

Got it going after a quick email from Justin
Thanks Justin

Justin and Tara were responsive and helpful. Condo was very clean stocked with many beach items and kitchen necessities. Tight but doable for 4 of us. Lanai was a nice extension of square feet. Quiet hours were strict and tight but honored by those around. Pool was cold and further from the unit than expected. Parking easy but locking unit upon exit challenging. Need a car for most Kona area attractions. Cleanliness a high priority.
