Cozy comfort meets convenience in this charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo—perfect for a single traveler or couple looking to stay close to all the action. Located just one block from the heart of downtown Kona, you’ll be steps away from oceanfront dining, shopping, the farmers market, and the shoreline itself. Enjoy everything Kona has to offer, then return to your peaceful home-away-from-home.
Inside, you’ll find a relaxing island-inspired space designed for both comfort and function:
Bedroom: Queen bed, ensuite bath, desk for remote work, and ceiling fan
Living Area: Sofa, flat-screen TV with cable, complimentary WiFi, and A/C that cools the entire unit
Kitchen: Fully equipped with oven, stovetop, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and blender—plus a kitchen island with bar seating
Lanai: Step outside to enjoy a tropical breeze and peek-a-boo ocean views while you sip your morning coffee or evening Mai Tai
Guests enjoy access to the community pool, coin-operated laundry, and assigned parking. The building has an elevator for easy access to this 4th-floor unit.
Please note: The property is located near St. Michael’s Catholic Church, and some church sounds may be heard during your stay.
Whether you’re here to explore Kona’s beaches, snorkel the reefs, or simply unwind in paradise, this central Kona condo is your perfect island base.
We provide complimentary starter essentials including paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, hand soap, and trash bags. We also have an air mattress, pack and play, and high chair available for rent.
Receive peace-of-mind knowing that if something does go wrong, one of our friendly and professional staff members is only a phone call away. With a warm “Aloha”, we at First Island Realty look forward to welcoming you to your new home away from home.

We enjoyed staying at Yuliet's place. It was clean, spacious, and the best location! The only point of improvement was the keypad door was difficult to open. Overall, we had the best time!

40th bday

The place was great! A suggestion; make sure shower is cleaned properly with no hair in drain. Also purchase better towels. Other than that the stay was great and exactly what we needed. Not to big and not to small. Just right!. Thank you again.

Cute for a short trip

Stayed here with my partner for a week. It is very cute, but very small (especially the bathroom), and you are only provided three towels (two bath towels and one hand towel) with no laundry, so they smelled a little musty by the end of the trip. Couch was uncomfortable, but bed was okay. AC does not reach bedroom; there are two fans, but we were still quite warm. Good for a short trip, but maybe not for a full week.

Disliked: Cleanliness
In a rough looking neighborhood not one i think is good for night life. The shower head was large but about half of the water holes were clogged with calcium build-up and did not work. The water never got hotter then room temperature and the water quality was so bad it irritated our skin so we only tried to take 1 shower. The kitchen and living room was clean and nice. The bedroom was very hot and uncomfortable to sleep in. When we got here there was someone else's body hair all on the bed and my pillow had snot crusty all over it. It was very disgusting. We ended up only getting there at like 12am Friday night and on Saturday we ended up leaving to head home earlier because we could not sleep it was so uncomfortable. I understand this is someones income but it was a horrible experience in our opinions. The host was very ontop of the information giving it to us and i feel bad but this was our honest opinion. We will not be back.
