About this property

Gorgeous Oceanfront Unit! Ground Floor! Greatly Updated!

Imagine opening the door to your unit, gazing through a twelve-foot wide glass patio door system that frames a view of the aquamarine sea crashing on black lava rocks separated from the lanai by 25 yards of lush, green lawn – and if luck is with you, watching whales and dolphins playfully frolic in the sea. See it all on our video: https://youtu.be/LT-pa79mnfY

That same view will greet you every morning as you exit your bedroom to start the day. Whether you come to Kona for romance, solitude, adventure, or even to work remotely, we believe our unit offers the amenities and surroundings to make your time there amazing!

To while away the day one can sit outside on the lanai and be caressed by the trade winds, or enjoy a book on the couch inside being cooled by the new ductless air-conditioner; either way our unit has unobstructed views of the ocean and the beautifully-maintained, tropical foliage of the Kona Isle common areas. The bedroom and living room have high-tech fans that operate so quietly and efficiently you may decide to forgo using the AC: especially in light of the flow-through ventilation offered by the new jalousie windows in the bedroom.

The décor of our unit is a blend of old-style “Island Chic” mixed with modern touches. We have retained the rattan furniture while updating the frames with new Sumbrella Cushions. We recently added a mango wood table and media console to the living room. The kitchen has granite countertops and is designed to facilitate the efficient creation of great meals. It is also well stocked with cookware, utensils, rice cooker, and a Cuisinart coffee maker - to make a perfect Kona coffee! A Bosch refrigerator operates unobtrusively in the background to keep your groceries well chilled and frozen. There is an ergonomic Humanscale stool at the counter which will comfortably support you whether you are using the counter as a prep station, eating location, or work station.

A high-speed router provides Wi-Fi throughout the condo and a flatscreen 55” Sony TV has cable channels and most major streaming apps installed (bring your own login credentials). The remodeled bathroom has a walk-in shower for easy accessibility.

In 2022 we installed a new GE dishwasher, washer, and dryer. The new appliances are very quiet and add to the convenience of the unit. Also, we installed a split sunshade (with a crank mechanism; no ropes!) for the Lanai in May 2022. Finally, to help those of you who travel with portable consumer electronics we installed: bedside lamps that feature built-in wireless charging, USB Type A ports, and electrical outlets in their base; and living room electrical outlets with built-in Type A and C USB ports. The lanai has an anodized aluminum folding table and sumptuous, high-backed, swivel rocking chairs - the ultimate in comfort to watch the most amazing sunsets. The remodel is complete!

Kona Isle is a small ocean-front complex that reflects the style of classic Hawaii with well-maintained, lovely grounds and all the conveniences of home. This beautiful complex has a great barbecue area with picnic tables where people gather for friendly conversation or to watch the sunset and enjoy dinner. The pool is heated and surrounded by lounge chairs and tables. There is a sandy area adjacent to the ocean where one can bask in the sunshine in lounge chairs or enjoy the shade and cooling ocean breezes while watching dolphins, whales and turtles. This is a NO SMOKING property, with no smoking allowed on the lanai or the grounds. The condo association requires a 5-night minimum stay.

A convenience store with a deli, beer, wine, newspapers, etc. is 100 yards away. Ali'i Gardens Marketplace selling lunches (awesome Food Trucks!) and a variety of arts and crafts is about 200 yards away. Town is about 1 mile away with restaurants, shopping and a great farmers market where you can find pineapples, papayas, mangoes, avocados, bananas, and lots of vegetables.

The aloha spirit of the people here add to the overall enjoyment of Kona Isle. This truly is paradise!

Ocean Front Lani

I loved that this is a smallish condo complex and that this condo was exactly as pictured. It was tastefully decorated without a lot of Hawaiiana everywhere. It is perfect for a couple. We enjoyed whale watching from the Lani. The pool and BBQ area were nice. I’ve stayed at several condos over the years and this is the best. I plan to return next year.

Amazing stay in the best location!

Our one week stay was amazing. The condo was clean and well equipped with starter coffee, sugar and spices as well as diswasher detergent and laundry soap. We enjoyed four nights barbequing and sitting on the lanai watching the waves and sunset. A nice 2.5 km walk into town was great for a brunch in one of the many open air restaurants. We loved the relaxed vibe of the big island. We look forward to returning in 2025. Thank you Gary and Yan!

This is truly a gorgeous place to stay and what a great location! You have the ocean directly out your patio door with beautiful sunsets, and you are close to restaurants and beaches, too. Additionally , I cannot say enough about how helpful and accommodating the owners have been during our stay. We would love to come back again.

Our 25th wedding anniversary trip was amazing! The condo was perfect for the two of us!

It was a beautiful view right from the Lanai! We enjoyed the pool and all the amenities. The complex is quiet but everyone is friendly and there’s a place to lounge right on the ocean and a large community bbq area also right next to the water. The bed was very comfortable and all of the linen was very nice with extra pillow options! Can’t wait to come back!

Perfect vacation spot

My wife and 3 month old son had the honor of staying at this amazing location. The location could not be better, steps away from the water. The host was very accommodating and wanted to make sure that we had the best vacation. We spent most of the time outside watching the water, even saw dolphins a couple of days. This is the best vacation if you want a quite relaxing time. We were very sad when we had to leave.

Perfect Place to Stay on the Big Island...

This was a wonderful place to stay during our trip to the Big Island. We were right on the water at ground level. Every morning was peaceful for morning coffee. The afternoon sunsets were spectacular. The condo was better than advertised. We were close to everything in Kona. The facility was very quiet and we had our own parking space. The washer & dryer were great to have. We would definitely stay here again.

A Kona Honeymoon

My wife and I were blown away when we arrived at Yan and Gary's condo. From the picturesque view of the ocean, to the upgrades and amenities witting the unit, this was everything we could have hoped it would be. Yan and Gary thought of everything to make your stay in Kona as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We 100% will be coming back. 10/10 recommend.

Fabulous location

Check was a breeze and I loved the system used to enter the condo door, amazing! You walk in to fantastic views of the ocean, it’s so much closer than the pictures appear on the listing, I was blown away! The patio chairs were extremely comfortable. I enjoyed the swimming pool and the sandy shore loungers. it was very relaxing listening to the waves crash on the shoreline. The bed was firm but comfortable, I slept great. The a/c was a nice touch although I love the nice breezes that you get when you open the beautiful sliding glass doors and the windows in the bedroom. The shower was very spacious and nice although the glass does not extend far enough so water gets on the floor outside of the shower, so watch for wet tile. We felt the furniture was not terribly comfortable. I noticed it in the pictures so it did not come as a surprise because I don’t find rattan furniture to be comfortable in general. The furnishing looked nice and they have a very nice TV. I loved having a washer and dryer. The location couldn’t be better, only about a mile to the heart of the town where all the good restaurants and shopping are located. We loved our stay and we would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the area. 5 stars all around!!

Everything Was Perfect!

We absolutely loved our stay in Yan and Gary's beautiful oceanfront condo. We have stayed in many different condos in Kona over the years, but this was our first time at the Kona Isle. It will not be our last, as we really enjoyed the vibe of the complex as well as the location. This unit was direct oceanfront and the view was spectacular! Yan and Gary have done an excellent job of furnishing and provisioning the condo. It was the best equipped kitchen we have ever seen in a vacation rental... even sharp knives! The bed was extremely comfortable. I spent most of my time in the super comfy swivel rocking chairs on the lanai when we were "at home" in the condo. It was a perfect place to watch the beautiful waves breaking, the many types of birds in the grassy lawn and of course, the gorgeous sunsets. The AC unit in the living room did a good job of cooling the bedroom at night, which was the only time we needed it. During the day, the ceiling fans kept us quite comfortable. We will be back!

Wonderful stay in Kona

We hadn't been to Kona in decades and were very pleased with the stay and accommodations we had. The complex is very peaceful and has easy access to town. The beauty of morning coffee from the lanai table and comfy chairs, to the nightly "show" (amazing sunsets) from the lounge chairs next to the surf was divine. The unit was well stocked with all we needed for a great week... from cooler to chairs to all kinds of cookware and dishes. AC and/or ceiling fans are available if you needed it. The owner and on-island property assistant were very responsive and helpful with the one issue we had (getting the TV to connect so we could catch the local news for the Maui and Big Island fires). We would suggest perhaps making a "cheat sheet" for the tricky cable/TV connection for your future guests. ;) (It would be helpful and not create more work/calls or texts for anyone. ) Other than the very minor TV tech glitch, everything was great for the two of us, and our need for some R & R was granted before I return to teaching in the new school year. Mahalo for sharing your condo with us for the week!

Absolutely Primo in Many Ways!

In my many many many years of renting vacation cottages, I have never seen a home so well-stocked with everything. We took spices and such, but there were many things available had we needed them. Every kitchen utensil imaginable is there. There were numerous things that we bought but were in the house such as trash bags, cooking spray, olive oil, and plastic storage bags. The cooler and wonderful beach chairs were greatly appreciated. A washer and dryer is a great bonus even though we did not use it. Now…..LOCATION! The beauty of the gorgeous water and the pounding of the ocean waves could entertain us for hours. We had not anticipated the fabulous whale watching!!!!!!!! That was amazing. The grounds were immaculate as was the great grilling area. We did not use the on-site swimming pool, but the fascinating tidal pool nextdoor was a jewel. Gorgeous small birds entertained us right on the front lawn. We were fortunate to have the full moon during our stay. That, combined with the gorgeous sunsets, was a beautiful ambient touch. We could not have been more pleased with the condo and the area of Kona.

Christmas at the beach

The location was great, as advertised with views from the lanai so we didn't have to go anywhere to enjoy the ocean and hear the waves breaking.Very well equipped condo with everything we needed and then some. Communication and responsiveness with the owner and property manager was excellent.The only negative was the firmness of the bed. The rest of the furnishings were very nice and comfortable.I would recommend and stay at the is location again.
