It is such a lovely place. My family and I spent a week here. Although rain and undesirable weather were our experience, this place was our home away from home. The children still enjoyed the pool and the tennis court. The condo also had sufficient materials that we needed for our stay. If we are ever coming back to Kona, we will definitely stay here again. Thank you again!!!

We had a great stay in Building 1 at the Kona Makai. We have stayed in this complex several times over the years and enjoy the views of the ocean from the lanai. The condo was comfortable and had everything we needed from the well appointed kitchen and baths to enjoying a day at the beach. Great communication with the owners. Unit was easily accessible.

Wonderful Big Island Condo

This condo is amazing and in a great location. My wife and I stayed here for 8 nights and loved every minute of it. The interior of the unit is immaculate and is stocked with everything you need. Daybreak and sunset on the lanai is special and shouldn't be missed. The grounds of the complex are well kept and quiet. We especially liked the BBQ area, which is right by the water. We'll be back for sure!

I have been coming to the Kona Makai since High School. I now have grown children. My husband, daughter and I stayed here 2 weeks ago. This unit had everything we needed in the kitchen. Very well stocked. The view was beautiful and my daughter who had the back room could hear the surf and had a veiw out her window. The lanai was great as it was'nt really in direct sun.

The property is a bit out of town, which we prefer. Its very quiet and has a pool and ocean front. The unit itself has everything that you could wish for, is well appointed and offers good beach stuff to borrow. There were a few small problems and the property manager was responsive.

Relaxing stay in Kona area

This two bedroom condo is perfect for parents with kids or a few friends. The location is awesome. Located on the ocean side of the main street, but due to the design of the complex it feels secluded. The complex is gated, the unit is on the second floor, and is easily accessed. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen is clean and adequately equipped. The complex pool and gas barbecues are nearby. Both are cleaned daily. The entire complex has beautiful landscaping and the views of the ocean are incredible. Sunsets every night are majestic and are the only time we noticed a crowd at the complex. The management team is super responsive and informative. I would highly recommend this location. Thank you for a wonderful week in paradise.

Perfect and clean!

This condo was extremely clean, updated and fully stocked with anything you might need including all kitchen/cooking supplies, beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and boogie board. Greg and Wendy were excellent to work with and their communication was always quick and effective. The management company does an excellent job of maintaining the property and pool. We were here for the Ironman and the location was excellent. You could easily walk or drive to the pier/downtown area or explore nearby beaches. We had this placed reserved over 2 years ago due to Ironman being canceled twice for Covid. Greg and Wendy always honored and moved our reservation forward to the next rescheduled date. In the weeks leading up to the race, we had heard many people having their reservation canceled last minute and left without accommodations. Greg and Wendy were in constant communication and verified our reservation. I cannot thank them enough for keeping our anxiety at bay and sharing their wonderful place with us. Highly recommend.
