The place was exactly as we expected, and was a perfect place to stay at while being busy on the island! Would definitely consider staying again if we come back!

Easy Going in Kona
Perfect location to catch Ironman inspired swims, view the sunset, wine and dine and go to the market. Responsive management to questions and when A/C was leaking. Nice starter packs on all amenities, water filter and ice maker, fun bicycle to go down Ali'i Drive (though I think I'd been the only one who used it due to rust, tires needing air). Respectful neighbors. Would rent again.

It was centrally located which was good. Close to the beach. Room 341 needs some comfortable dining chairs. Although there was no Stove,we managed to cook with the appliances we had. Broken skille,was replaced with another one the next day. Thank you all in all it was ok.

We had such a great stay, the property was in the ideal place to walk to anything you’d want to eat drink in Kailua village. Parking on site was limited after sunset, but you’re able to park for free anytime on the side streets and highway. We’d stay here again and recommend to any of our friends.

This property is located right in downtown Kona. Walk out the property gate and you are on Alii drive walking distance to so many great restaurants and shopping. It is a beautiful garden setting. We stayed on the third floor and there is no elevator but we were fine with that. Parking can be tough but we did find a spot each night.

Nicely updated Kona Islander room
We loved the body boards and sand toys. The kids were happy with the pull out couch and bed was good. The kitchen area was well stocked with appliances. We did run out of garbage bags, but were stayed the in the room for 11 nights. With the Kona Islander all the rooms are the same size, so for two adults and two kids it was small with bags. So pack as light as possible. The kids loved the size of the TV. The lani was a little small with the owners storage box, but for two people it was perfect.

This is the second time we have stayed at the Kona Islanded. Very convenient access to Ali’i where a lot of the restaurant and tourist shops are located. The suite was beautifully updated, clean and included a separate sink in the bathroom which was a huge benefit. This is great for two occupants but for the four of us it was rather “cozy”. The kitchen was well equipped to make simple meals but would be more challenging if you wanted to make something more substantival. Parking on site is very challenging and is first come first serve. Good luck trying to get a spot after 6pm! If we were to stay at the KI, I’d looked to see if this unit would be available first.

Excellent Location
Unit was very clean, well stocked with about everything one could need. Right in the heart of Kona, walking distance to restaurants, shopping, no need for a car. There is a toaster oven, air fryer, coffee, pot, anything anyone would need if you wanted to make food. Personally, I don’t go on vacation and cook. Of course there’s no stove because they’re against it, but there’s plenty. There’s a large screen TV, with cable, and streaming. I thought it was very sweet that there was a small bag of coffee for one serving in the morning left in the refrigerator, and one bottle of water. Really made my day, so that I didn’t have to go out and start shopping immediately. All in all, it’s a very nice unit in the heart of Kona, I highly recommend it. I come to Kona several times a year, my daughter is a WYAM student, and I always stay at the Islander, it’s the best.

A Perfect Condo!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had a wonderful stay at Kona Islander 341. The check-in was effortless and the unit was spotlessly clean. The air conditioning was efficient and the wifi was fast & reliable. Although I didn't use the television, it was a nice touch to the space. The location was ideal as it was situated off the main drive, offering easy access to coffee shops, restaurants, and boutique stores. If you're in the mood for a short walk, you can also find grocery stores and Kona Brewing nearby. The kitchenette was perfect for reheating leftovers and I especially appreciated the stylish wood shelving. The condo was also quiet and cozy, making for a relaxing experience after a day of adventure. I would highly recommend this property and would love to return in the future. Mahalo to CBIV for answering my questions.

We stayed for 4 weeks and would have liked to empty our suitcases so we could feel like we were at home. The closet space was full of misc. No dresser or place to hang clothing. Lighting by the bed to read would have been a plus as we did not utilize the sofa sleeper where the lighting was. The TV was useless as were the directions. Would have appreciated a laundry exchange instead of laundering the sheets myself(and paying to do so). The bedding is worn and does not fit well. Not sure if the carpet was cleaned as it was so stained! Poor lighting and different types of bulbs in each light. Back screen door torn. Many tiny ants and occasional cockroach! Tiny kitchenette with little counter space. The resort property is well cared for and the staff are very nice and helpful. The pool is not heated but clean and refreshing on a warm day. The complex is downtown and close to shops and many places to eat.

Great condo in a great location!
This condo unit (341 in Kona Islander Inn) was super cute, with a decent kitchenette (no stove), plenty of dishes and kitchen supplies, clean sheets and towels. It's right in the heart of Kona. It's an absolutely great location!! There's about 50 restaurants within willing distance and lots of little shops.
