About this property

KJ’s Place, in the heart of the city.

KJ’s Place is a newly remodeled condo located in the heart of Kailua-Kona. The kitchen and living room open up to a covered lanai with view of the city and the ocean. Custom touches abound, from the granite countertops to the mahogany in the bathrooms to the grass cloth on the walls. Enjoy the luxury of a California King in the master bedroom after a long day at the beach or the bliss of a rainfall shower after taking in the sights. Don’t worry, the full-size sleeper sofa in the living room is easily as comfortable and the sounds of the ocean will soothe and restore. We want your vacation to be as relaxing and amazing as possible and we hope KJ’s Place is the place you come back to again and again for your Big Island adventures.

Very comfortable. Great location.

Not only is this condominium comfortable, but we could tell that thought went into furnishing and organizing the unit. It felt like borrowing a friend's condo; it didn't seem like a vacation rental at all. We would love to return again.

Beautiful!

Clean, nicely decorated property...better in person than displayed in the pictures. Loved the "rain" shower head, thought with two bathrooms there would be no waiting, but we both found ourselves preferring the walk in shower!! 😊 Convenient to just about everything. Looking forward to staying there again!

Perfect Location with all the amenities is home

I can’t express enough how well equipped and located this condo is. It is literally right in the heart of Kona with the ocean and several restaurants and bars right next door. The owners have equipped this unit with anything you might ever need to enjoy your stay and feel at home. I can’t say enough about how great this unit is. We enjoyed our honeymoon here and will definitely be coming back.

KJ’s Place

We enjoyed staying here and loved the location. Really appreciated the host’s suggestions on the places to visit that were detailed in the green binder. The bed was comfortable the rain shower was great. The beach chairs and umbrella served us well. Thanks for having peroxide so I could address my knee from being tossed around by the ocean and scraping it up on lava rocks. Magic Sands Beach kicked my butt!!! Great memories for our third trip to the Big Island and was grateful to come “home” to KJ’s Place. Mahalo!

Beautiful and comfortable condo with fantastic location and friendly, helpful hosts.

We just loved staying at KJ's place! Their condo is beautifully designed and spacious with a wonderfully comfortable king bed and great A/C for nighttime. The large lanai was a great place to lounge after busy days. We really appreciated all the little extras such as having 2 bathrooms, nice beach towels and boogie boards and recommendations about places to go and things to do. The condo location is so ideal, as you walk right out to Alii Drive with the ocean right there, along with all the shops and restaurants. The condo complex is very clean, safe, friendly and quiet. The covered parking space was an added bonus. We will be coming back and highly recommend KJ's place!

Nice place good location

The property is as pictured and in a great location for walking around town to shops and restaurants. Its clean and nicely decorated. The drawbacks were that the key wasn't in the lockbox when we arrived at 3:30 and we waited 45 min. for housekeeper to come down. Also, the air conditioning didn't work after first night. Owner seemed friendly online.

About the host

Hosted by Joy Knight

Host profile image
Keoni was born in Hawaii, and after travelling the globe courtesy of the US Air Force now currently resides in Anchorage, Alaska. Joy lived most of her life in Germany, but has shared travel experiences with Keoni for the last 20 years. We have 2 daughters who love Hawaii, particularly the Big Island, as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

KJ's Place comes with an almost full kitchen with everything you’ll need (minus oven and dishwasher). We also have a washer and dryer, free WiFi and cable, plus an oversized storage locker in a common locker room right next to the elevator. You’ll have access to the pool with BBQ grills and a 7th floor sundeck which overlooks Kona. And, of course, Kona, the Big Island, and the Pacific Ocean are quite literally right out the front door. The Kona Ali’i is located in the midst of Kailua-Kona and you will be within walking distance of numerous shops, restaurants, and attractions. Local culture, beaches, and adventure are all excitingly close. Our guest book has a few pages listing many of our (and other people we know) favorite Big Island activities. Please explore, and if you discover an adventure that we don’t know about please let us in on your secret so we can add it to our book and spread the word!

What makes this property unique

There are a ton of shops and restaurants within walking distance of KJ’s Place. Short drives down Ali’i Drive get you to beaches great for snorkeling, diving, and surfing. Since it’s one of the main routes for the Ironman Triathlon, Ali’i Drive is perfect for strolling, running, or biking. You have easy access to highways that put the rest of the Big Island at your fingertips. When you’re back and the sun is still out, enjoy the shaded parking that will keep your vehicle cool until your next grand excursion. Please read our guest book for house rules as well as suggested activities. Kona is an amazing place and we hope and pray your stay here is amazing! If it’s anything but, please let us know what we can do to make it better.
