Kona Makai - Ocean View! Gorgeous Sunsets! AC! Beautiful Spacious Condo!

The Kona Makai complex is a beautifully maintained and highly sought-after oceanfront complex located on the famous Ali'i Drive, just 1.3 miles from Kona town. This wonderful complex features beautifully manicured tropical grounds, a saltwater oceanfront pool and spa, a sunny lounge area, two workout rooms, an eating area with gas BBQs, tennis courts, a ping pong table, ample parking, and is gated during the night for security.

Building 5 is especially sought after because its main front lanai is positioned to keep it much cooler than any other building in the complex. You can also enjoy the sun and relax on the back lanai off the bedroom.

Kona Town is an easy 20-minute walk on wide shoulders, or you can hop on the famous Kona Trolley that will take you almost anywhere from Kona to Keauhou.

There is good snorkeling or diving in front of the complex when the ocean is flat.

This first-floor unit features two lanais, one off the living room with views of tropical gardens, the ocean, and the pool and the other off the bedroom. The bedroom has a king bed, ceiling fan, and window air conditioning. All linens, a hairdryer, iron, and ironing board are provided. The condo is tiled throughout, including both lanais.

We offer free, fast, and secure WiFi.

The living room has a new 55" Smart LED TV, a wall air conditioner, and a ceiling fan. There is a new refrigerator as well as a washer and dryer in the unit.

There is a breakfast bar for indoor eating. You can also enjoy your meals on the lanai while enjoying the tropical views. For extra comfort, there is a ceiling fan and lighting. Additionally, an outdoor eating area at the BBQ area overlooks the ocean.

To enhance your outdoor experience, we provide beach chairs, a beach cooler, fins, snorkels, masks (no water shoes), beach towels, an umbrella, etc.

The Big Island of Hawaii (The Big Island) has much to offer for a lifetime vacation. White, black, and green sand beaches, star gazing from the top of a volcano, hiking through lava fields, zip-lining, rainforests and along the ocean, world-class golf, sport fishing, sailing, sunset cruises, cycling, horseback riding, coffee farms and tours, botanical gardens, stunning waterfalls, whale and dolphin watching, manta ray night dives, scuba diving and snorkeling. Come experience the Adventure Island while staying in ultimate comfort.

Great location
First I want to focus on all the positive aspects of our stay. Great location, the pool & BBQ lounge area is fantastic. Very social area with other travelers. In the unit the lanai has a beautiful view of the ocean & is surrounded by very lush foliage. The pictures of the listing don’t show the view or mention it but it was a wonderful surprise! We enjoyed breakfast & dinner most days on the lovely lanai, placed our chairs side by side so we had clear view of the sunset . Also loved that there was beach chairs, towels, ice chest, fins, masks etc. we discovered the umbrella didn’t work when we got to the beach but no biggie as they also had a beach tent shade structure. The kitchen sink may look modern and whatnot but it was awkward & high and faucet handle was awkwardly placed. The biggest counter prep area was bar height so it was awkward for anyone short as well. The bedroom faces the parking driveway but it was quiet and safe but the white curtains didn’t keep out light so I wore eye mask. None of these things were deal breakers. There were a couple things that I took had an issue with not in fairness I I didn’t notify the management until last day as I did not want to have maintenance people coming in during our stay.

No dresser space no kitchen table-only two bar stools. Limited ocean view. No way could four people stay here. Kitchen was very well stocked. Lots of pool toys,snorkel gear- but couldn’t have any pool toys or noodles in the pool. Wouldn’t stay here again- many other options at a similar price

Pots, pans dinnerware, cutlery were all outstanding. The location is ideal. Getting anywhere was easy. All our contacts with management were cordial and extremely helpful. We truly recommend this property.

You NEED to stay here!!
My husband and I stayed at the condo for my birthday weekend and it was by far the best condo and experience we've had with a vacation rental! The room was beautiful, good size, and tastefully decorated. The bed was extremely comfortable, we slept like babies every night. The shower has great water pressure as well which is important for us. You'll want to spend hours outside on the patio soaking in the beautiful views. We were surprised at how quiet and peaceful it was despite being around multiples condos. It is a peaceful spot for those wanting to retreat. Nothing, and I mean nothing beats the insane ocean views by the pool and hot tub area, we stayed there all day!! The condo is close to restaurants, target, walmart etc... Communication was great with guest services, they took care of everything that came up and were quick to respond. You will definitely be in good hands. Super happy with our stay, highly recommend!!

Excellent Vacation Rental
This condo unit was excellent in so many ways. The unit was very clean and had everything and more than we expected. The kitchen was supplied with all the kitchen tools and supplies that you could want; the bathroom was perfect; and the unit had a lot of things for the beach such as towels, snorkels (no flippers but we rented), masks, beach umbrella, etc. The unit itself is in a quiet complex and it has a beautiful partial ocean view. Access to the many BBQ's was very much appreciated and we used them several times. I have stayed in several condos throughout the Hawaiian islands and this is one of my favorites!

Amazing Grounds
I want to start by saying that Kona Makai Condominiums is fantastic. The grounds are immaculate, the pool and hot tub are incredible, and above all else.. the view of Hawaii’s sunsets is out of this world. There are MANY rules for the condominium and reading the rules at first was funny but actually turned out to give a quiet, relaxing and visually appealing vacation for us. Not one negative about the grounds. Location is also less 3-5 min drive to everything! Now suite 5-103 itself.. it had everything we needed for our stay. The bed and pillows were AMAZING! Sooo soft. Kitchen stocked with dishes, utensils, cookware, coffee makers. ACs in bedroom and living room worked great. Shower has good water pressure. Laundry worked well. The washing machine could use a clean as it left many fuzzies all over our clothes which everything came off in dryer so was not an issue for us. Our only real issue was the property management company itself.. Kona Vacation Rentals. The first day we arrived, the key to the pool broke in the door. The next day I called 5 times to 2 different numbers and left 2-3 voicemails. We never heard back once. On our 3rd day when I still hadn’t heard back, I went and had a key cut at a locksmith from the broken key. Glad that worked and nothing serious went wrong as I never heard back from them in the 12 nights we stayed there. Otherwise, we had a great stay and would love to go back to Kona Makai. The suite was great and grounds were incredible!

I can hear upstairs neighbors every time they flush their toilets. So many rules making this place a destination ideal for older couples, definitely not with kids. The unit my daughter and I stayed is in the bottom level. Not enough ventilation and bathroom smells “mildewy”, so we left the bathroom light on the whole time. My shoulders get tight when I wash dishes because the sink sits too high. Not enough prep space in the kitchen.

Nice Unit in a Great Complex!
A very nicely updated and clean unit. Check-in was a breeze and communications from the management company were great. We enjoyed our evenings on the lanai in this well appointed unit. The gardens are lovely and pool is well situated to on the property. This property is definitely on our short list for when we return to the Big Island!

Little piece of paradise
Over all experience was very good, complex was well maintained, unit was in great shape and perfect for us. We had one issues with the lock during our stay but 30 minutes they got us in and fixed the lock as soon as possible. Overall the complex and unit was great, our biggest win was renting from through the property management company. Due To storms and other issues our fights were cancelled they were quick to respond and during a stressful time they were willing to accommodate and make sure we had a place to stay.
