KONA MAKAI#2-303: BEAUTIFUL TOP FLOOR OCEAN VIEW IN OCEANFRONT COMPLEX W/AC!

Kona Makai 2-303 — A Top-Floor Island Retreat Above the Pacific

Wake to the sound of waves, trade winds drifting through open beam ceilings, and the soft glow of the Kona sun rising over the Pacific. Kona Makai 2-303 is a beautifully positioned top-floor, loft-style residence that captures the very essence of oceanfront living on Hawaiʻi Island.

Perched above lush tropical gardens, this inviting retreat offers sweeping views of the ocean, the sparkling waterfront pool, and swaying palms below. Vaulted ceilings and an airy open layout create a sense of space and calm, perfect for unwinding after a day of island adventure.

The primary bedroom features a comfortable king bed, while the upstairs loft provides two twin beds, making the home ideal for couples, friends, or small families seeking both togetherness and privacy. Thoughtfully furnished and well-equipped, the owners have curated the space with comfort and convenience in mind—so you can settle in and feel right at home.

Step outside and you’re immersed in the amenities of the Kona Makai, one of the most desirable oceanfront communities along Aliʻi Drive. Enjoy a renovated heated oceanfront pool and spa, sunny lounge areas, tennis courts, two fitness rooms, gas BBQs for evening grilling, covered parking, and beautifully maintained grounds. The community is gated at night for added peace of mind.

Located just 1.3 miles from Kailua Village, you’re minutes from oceanfront dining, local shops, coffee spots, and vibrant island nightlife—yet far enough away to savor quiet evenings under the stars.

For added comfort, air-conditioning is available via window units in the living room and bedrooms.
• AC is $25 per night for reservations booked after May 1, 2025
• This fee is automatically added unless you submit a written request prior to arrival to opt out

Whether you’re sipping morning coffee on the lanai, watching the sun melt into the ocean at dusk, or falling asleep to the rhythm of the waves, Kona Makai 2-303 offers a truly memorable Hawaiian escape—relaxed, elevated, and unmistakably Kona.

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay at Kona Makai Condominiums very much. The view is wonderful, the premises well kept. With open windows and ceiling fans running at night we avoided using the A/C, which was not included. Please check the fine print! We would book again.

Another excellent stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is my second time renting from Knutson & Associates and they are a fantastic company to deal with. The rental was as described with a beautiful view and well maintained grounds. The unit is a little older but very usable. We had a very minor issue with a faulty water alarm that Knutson dealt with promptly.

Great place association not so great!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We received a couple of notes on our door about using our phones when we are out on the balcony. It didn’t make much sense to us because whether I’m speaking to our mom on FaceTime or sitting at the table talking shouldn’t make any difference. I loved the place but probably won’t stay here again because I want to relax on vacation and not be bothered with too many rigid rules.

Unit Needs Work

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Quiet, well-maintained complex that's centrally located in Kona with a wonderful view of the ocean. The management staff was very responsive. Having AC units in both living room/bedroom was effective in cooling the place and the washer/dryer worked well. Bed was comfortable. The ample bath and beach towels were appreciated.The unit, itself, however, is rather tired and outdated. The carpet is dirty with multiple stains, the bathroom tub has mold in the caulk and the wall next to the tub has 2 shades of paint. The jalousie window next to the bedroom AC did not close completely so heat came in, as well as noise from people talking outside. Upon our arrival, there was trash on the carpet near the living room AC, dead roaches in the bathroom and a dead wasp on the carpet in the bedroom. This unit has lots of potential if the owner would put some work into refreshing it (new paint, furniture, flooring, countertops, cabinetry). Would recommend this complex but in a more updated unit.

Amazing Kona Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First off, the location is amazing. You can’t beat the views, and a very short walk, or drive puts you right in the heart of Kona. The only reason I didn’t give it a five out of five in all categories is because the night we showed up the AC in the living room was broken. I called to try to get some fans and to let them know how hot it was, and was told the ocean breeze would cool the place down very quickly. We were unable to utilize the upstairs the first night and our kids had to sleep downstairs on the floor. I called again the next morning when the temperature hadn’t changed at all and insisted they come out and inspect the units. By end of day, on the second day, I received a call that the unit was in fact broken. Unfortunately, we had to spend the second night in a hotel due to heat. The upside is they offered to refund all of our money if we needed to find an alternate location because they weren’t sure they would be able to fix the AC during our stay. To our delight, it was in fact fixed on day three. Our trip after that was pretty perfect . And we would definitely choose to stay on this property. anytime we come back to Kona to visit. I can’t say enough good things about the property management company and their attentiveness to try to fix this problem. Other than the first night, their attentiveness as well of, as the owners was amazing. The owners approved a new AC immediately and everyone was very apologetic. The unit was very clean and had everything we really needed.
