About this property

Kona Alii 403: Tropical Oceanfront Condo w/ AC & Pool in Downtown Kona

Kailua Bay stretches turquoise below, cruise ships tracing slow lines across the horizon while Ali'i Drive hums with island life beyond the lanai rail. Kona Alii 403 sits oceanfront in the heart of historic Kailua Kona, a fourth-floor vantage point where sunrise coffee and sunset cocktails share the same unobstructed view of the Pacific, close enough to watch outrigger canoe crews paddle past on evening practice runs.

What You’ll Love About Kona Alii 403
• Panoramic ocean and sunset views from your private lanai
• Prime location steps from shops, cafés, and the Kona Pier
• Chef’s kitchen fully equipped for culinary adventures
• King bed plus a Tempur-Pedic queen sofa bed for up to four guests
• Optional in-unit air conditioning available for $15/day

Living & Dining
The bright open floor plan showcases stunning ocean views through expansive wall-to-wall windows. The welcoming living area invites you to unwind on plush seating, watch a movie on the Smart TV, or simply listen to the waves roll in. A Tempur-Pedic queen sofa bed offers flexible sleeping space for additional guests. The adjacent dining area comfortably seats four, perfect for relaxed meals and shared stories after a day of island exploration.

Chef-Ready Kitchen
Whether you’re preparing a gourmet dinner or a simple beach picnic, the kitchen is a chef’s delight. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and all the essentials, including cookware, utensils, and even a blender for tropical smoothies. It’s designed for convenience and creativity.

Outdoor Oasis
The private lanai is where the days start and end, sunrise coffee giving way to sunset in the same seat, and on clear winter mornings, you may see whales and dolphins surface just offshore. Guests also share an ocean-view pool, sundeck, and garden BBQ area on the ground level of the building.

Sleeping Quarters
• Primary Bedroom – King bed, ensuite bath with walk-in shower
• Living Room – Tempur-Pedic queen sofa bed

Extras
Enjoy thoughtful touches including snorkeling gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, and towels for ocean adventures. The condo also offers high-speed Wi-Fi, washer and dryer, Smart TV, ceiling fans, and the option to add air conditioning for $15 per day (inquire when booking).

Nearby
History sits close by: the Kailua Pier, Hulihe'e Palace, and Mokuaikaua Church are within walking distance, alongside the shops and restaurants of Ali'i Drive and the Kona Farmers Market. Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, the Mauna Kea Observatory, and the coffee farms of the Kona coffee belt are all a scenic drive away, with Kona International Airport (KOA) a short drive in the other direction.

Good to Know
• This property does not have the capability to charge electric vehicles. Guests with electric vehicles will need to plan their own charging arrangements during their stay.
• Kona Alii sits directly on Ali'i Drive, a lively stretch of downtown Kailua Kona with shops, restaurants, and passing traffic, so some street noise and evening activity may be audible during the stay.
• There is no direct beach access for Kona Alii.
• Hawaii Tax ID: TA-036-635-4432-01
• TMK: 750080010027
• STVR-19-363114

At Kona Alii 403, oceanfront calm meets the vibrant energy of Ali'i Drive, sunsets from the lanai and the spirit of aloha waiting right outside the door.

Perfect spot to stay in Kona!

This is our second time visiting the Big Island. We stayed further outside of the main part of Kailua Kona last time but this property was in the heart of everything you need. We were able to walk to meals, outings and to explore. The only time we left was to explore other beaches and excursions. The view is amazing, beds were comfortable (even the pull out couch which was a concern for our 3rd guest). We will be back again.

Gorgeous view

We enjoyed our stay here. The view is gorgeous. Couldn’t ask for a better view. Nice to wake up to. It was a little loud at night but you can’t beat the sound of waves as you wake up. We saw dolphins one morning and that made our day. The place was clean and spacious enough for our family. We loved it and will be back.

Family time in Big Island

This condo is pretty well equiped, very clean, with a lot of space. We enjoyed the beach chairs, umbrella and body surf boards. Ali the basics (soap, shampoo, conditioner, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, etc.) were provided. It's well located, with restaurants in walking distance. There are great beaches near by, the best one we went to at approximately 30 min by car. I would return anytime!

We had a wonderful stay in 403. Well stocked with kitchen items, available parking, overall pretty quiet, food options available literally right out of the elevators to the building, a/c and fans to help cool the condo, and the view! We saw dolphins and amazing sunsets every night. Our only challenge was the bed was a little soft for us. Other than that, it was great!

Can’t beat the location

What a find. In the heart of Kailua Kona. Recently renovated, ocean and pounding waves across the street, beautiful decor, fully equipped kitchen (sharp knives! dull ones are a personal pet peeve), easy walk to restaurants and shops. Address is Kuakini Hwy but building is on Ali Drive, which is heavily trafficked two lane road. 4th floor for this condo so noise is tolerable and you cannot hear it inside w sliders closed.

Wonderful Condo

This condo delivers as described and pictured. They have thought of everything. We were so comfortable staying there. The appliances, layout, bathrooms, main shower are great. One thing to note, that has nothing to do with the property owners is the amount of noise from the cars that make so much noice and vibration (think immature car owners that need attention from others). The crashing waves help with this noise level, but often the music overpowers the waves. With that said, the Condo is in a great location.

Beautiful Condo with Spectacular Ocean views

My Husband and I really enjoyed this condo during our 6 night stay in Kona. It was comfortable, well stocked with pots and pans and other cooking items as well as starter tp and paper towels. The showers were perfect - a sign noted it could take time to get the water hot - we always got hot water immediately and the water pressure was perfect. It was nice to turn on the air conditioning after a hot day of touring. This place is close to everything- within walking distance of tasty restaurants and shopping. Easy drive to beaches and other attractions. The sunsets from the balcony were some of the best I've ever seen- it always made the perfect ending to our day.. I highly recommend this condo

First Kona Visit

This condo was clean, updated and well appointed although as with any rental property you will have to provide salt/pepper etc. unless someone else left theirs. We loved having 2 bathrooms as well as the W/D being in the unit. The view is amazing but the street noise was a bit of drawback. Know going in that it is noisy. Some drivers seem to think that the entire island wants to hear their music or mufflers. With that said, you are in the heart of Kona and you can walk every where so that's the tradeoff. We wore earplugs at night and it helped. I would like to mention the water pressure, Wow! We miss the showers! Lol Overall, we would consider staying there again.
