This spacious condo recently received a fresh makeover so you can expect a serene home base in between your Big Island adventures: stroll Ali'i Drive and learn of Kailua-Kona's rich history, snorkel with playful dolphins during the day or manta rays at night, go stargazing at the Mauna Kea summit, view the active volcano from a helicopter tour, bring home fresh Kona coffee from a local farm, or explore beautiful beaches with the occasional lounging sea turtle or the winter whale migration. Your exciting Hawaiian venture begins here!

The grounds are beautiful. Garden of Eden. Views spectacular. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Enjoyed the beach chairs and boogie boards. Wrap around lanai amazing and quiet. Will stay here again. Only improvement: Lanai furniture could use upgraded cushions- not very comfortable.

Spring Break
We were teacher’s on spring break. This home gave us plenty of space. The view and the large lanai were fabulous and peaceful. We enjoyed starting and ending each day on the Lanai. It was just a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy!

Celebrating birthdays!
We had a lovely time at this condo! It was laid out beautifully, and the view was stunning. The loft got a bit to warm at night, but it was manageable. We were very gratefully for the air conditioning. The only thing that was a little silly was amount of toilet paper provided for a condo that sleeps 6 people: 3 rolls for one week for 6 people. Then they wanted to charge us $35 to bring more. I thought that was a bit silly. Otherwise, the grounds were beautiful. The pool was lovely, and it was perfect distance to downtown Kona.

Convenient and quiet
Beautiful property, great view and location. Not necessarily good for families with small children because of all of the rules; ie, no pool toys, floaties etc, no food allowed at the pool. We couldn't use our phones on the lanai so working from the Condo wasn't ideal.

One month stay
The grounds and pool were amazing! Wish the condo would have had a decent broom and a mop. The lanai would get bird droppings on it and would have liked to have been able to mop it. More cleaning supplies would have been nice. The broom and vacuums were not great. Loose tiles on the lanai and the condo could maybe use a good updating. Other than that our stay was great.

While dated, the condo was comfortable and clean. Couldn’t ask for a better view of sunset. Wouldn’t recommend for anyone who has physical issues as there are three flights of stairs. Pool was wonderful, but walking to the beach wasn’t an option. Especially appreciated Paul, our contact, for his quick response and support. I would recommend this property for a positive experience.

Nice condo with an awesome view and Lanai. Paul the manager was very responsive in all my emails. They supply you with beach chairs, umbrella, beach toys and beach towels. I also saw snorkel supplies. It could use some updates but the pictures show the real deal. Also there is an air conditioner in all the rooms. I would stay again.

Perfect spot
We loved this condo!! It was perfect for the 6 of us and had everything we needed! I especially enjoyed having my coffee and watching the ocean in the morning. So peaceful and beautiful! The beds are super comfy! The place was warm when we got in but after we got the ac going... what a difference!! Paul was helpful without hovering which I liked!! Everything was ready when we got there and easy to manage! Thank you Paul for an easy and beautiful stay!!

Beautiful view, disappointing accommodations
Some reviews say "tired". I say comatose. Kitchen cabinet doors stuck themselves shut repeatedly. The finish on one was rubbed off apparently from people trying to get it open. Door handles has "scuz" on the back side underneath, apparently decades of buildup. The bathroom door handle lopck stuck shut. Close the door from the outside and you aren't getting in. Did I forget the plugged kitchen sinks? Took me a hour and a half to clean up after the plumber after he had left, some from him, most because it hadn't been cleaned under the sink for ages. Check out the lani. Hasn't been painted for years, maybe ever. The walls are all spotted and faded. Furniture very uncomfortable with the exception of the living area couch. The place looks like it was furnished by Goodwill. The indoor dining table is a lani table complete with umbrella hole. Sits four. We had six. PLUS SIDE: The view was great. The pool needed replastering but is fully functional and very nice. The lounge chairs were quite comfortable. There is a great viewing area for sunsets and whale watching. Everything I could have expected from the common area. My contact, Paul, was quite accommodating. He got a plumber out ASAP on a Saturday, a small miracle in Hawaii! This was my first VRBO. Maybe I just expected too much. Don't think I'll do this again.

Great vacation!
This is a terrific place to use as home base when exploring the Big Island. Nearby snorkeling, easy access to beaches, walking distance to shopping, near large grocery stores. Having a car was very useful for travelling the island. My review stars tell it all - well supplied for cooking, cleaning, beach-visiting; relaxing; on-site pool and hot tub were well kept. We were in Hawaii at the beginning of the Coronavirus shutdowns - were able to eat out the first night before restaurants were closed to visiting, able to visit beaches before they were banned from use; able to drive around the Island several days to see all the sites - even though the Parks were shut down, they were not closed to walking around and learning about the Island and its volcanos; able to swim with the manta rays; able to buy groceries for cooking at our Kona Makai unit. Paul was very helpful when we asked for the location of items. There was no cover-up or skimming over the facility on the VRBO website and description of this property. I would recommend it to everyone.

Mixed feelings
Some of the residents of this complex are not happy to have renters there. My grandsons are 10 and 16 and their noisy fun in the pool- while supervised by parents - was frowned upon. Other vacationers said the same thing, and one resident left his suite to come to the pool and chastise some 60+ people who were listening to music and eating chips. No "fun, resort feel". However if you are a quiet couple, the condo itself is exactly as pictured....a bit dated, but all the conveniences, and a killer view of the ocean from the large lanai.

Great well stocked condo
Although we did not ever have contact with the owner, we would like to compliment them on the well stocked condo. Other than a working can opener the kitchen was above and beyond, it had everything you need, plus spices, condiments in the fridge, paper towel, great dishes, pots, even a crock pot and a rice cooker. Also, beach towels and lots of stuff for the beach, snorkel gear, beach chairs, coolers. The view was spectacular, beds were comfortable, air conditioning worked well which is very important. Parking was always available. The barbecues were good. The fitness room is nothing like the photo and pretty much wouldn’t be used by people. They need more umbrellas at the pool, there are only 3 and sun shines there all day. The pool is pretty small for the number of condos, but as long as you get there early, you can get an umbrella and a lounge. Lots of great beaches around too. I would definitely agree with other reviewers. There are rules and lots of them, crazy that you need a key to get out of the pool. We don’t live in a condo community so perhaps the rules are needed. The place is very quiet, which was nice.

Tennis courts require a key from the manager
Loved the view and the deck the most. Very well anointed with the small extras. The AC is from individual units in the rooms, not central, so not very strong on super hot days. Need to see the manager to get the key to the tennis courts; small deposit and it seemed like no one was in the office at very convenient times. Location to Kona was excellent.

Perfect for our first trip to Hawaii!
We chose the Big Island for our first Hawaiian experience, and the Kona Makai Condos did not disappoint. The property manager, Paul, was wonderful from the start of our trip to the very end. The condo is perfectly situated with beautiful views- coffee on the lanai every morning was a perfect start to my day. The condo itself easily accommodated our family of 8, including 4 teen boys! The linens were fresh, there were plenty of bath towels and beach towels; the kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms were well stocked, there were plenty of beach “toys” such as snorkels, masks, and chairs! The window unit air conditioners worked hard, but were a great plus to keeping the condo cool! The loft was quite warm, but cooled down slightly at night with fans. Overall, our stay here was wonderful. There are several beaches within driving distance. You could walk to “town” (about 1.3 miles one way), but we chose not to because we had small children. In my opinion, the condo was close enough, yet the perfect distance from it all! We would definitely consider the Kona Makai condos again!
