Lovely ocean view from the lanai - even saw dolphins one morning. AC in bedroom was the bomb... one in the living room struggled to cool things down enough for us cool-climate Oregonians! It was nice to have laundry in the condo. Well appointed kitchen if you wanted to fix your own meals (we just made morning coffee and english muffins).
Having grown up here, the fact that The Kona Makai is still the Kona Makai I remember, made this trip that much better.Kona has grown up, but Kona Makai

Aloha and Thank you for staying at Kona Makai 6-204. We supply an initial supply of the toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent & hand soap. We also leave dishwashing supplies, and miscellaneous cleaning supplies. The guest will need to purchase other items as needed. We appreciate your feedback!
We spent nine days in this apartment. The apartment is nicely and cozily furnished. However, the sofa bed in the living room squeaks, which our children found uncomfortable.
What was very disruptive were the construction works that took place in various apartments of the complex throughout our stay. We were promised that there would be no construction noise on the weekend, but this was not true. Additionally, the neighbors were sometimes too loud, which disturbed our stay.
The complex is very well-maintained, and it is a pleasure to relax by the pool when there is no noise.
This was a nice rental. Location is ideal. It has air-conditioning in two rooms which is nice. We did have a few issues for maintenance which were dealt with by the maintenance company quite quickly. Only drawback to this place are: the morning light in the master bedroom is very bright, and there’s no curtains or ability to make the room dark in the mornings. The bed needs to have a replaced mattress and or frame or both. No condiments or other items for cooking so it’s less convenient then other places. Only salt and pepper. Pool closes at 9. Thank you

Mahalo for your feedback! We will look into these things you reported. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay - KCV
We cannot fault out unit or stay. The Unit was exactly as described and was very large for a single bedroom apartment. Kitchen, Laundry and Bathroom all fresh and modern. The view from the balcony, and sunsets from the Pool deck, Just next level. The gardens, and complex were meticulously maintained. So peaceful, and made for a very enjoyable stay in Kona, Hi.
We had a wonderful stay at this property, and it was just as described or even better! Everything went smoothly, and had no issues. The location is fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the lanai and listening to the waves. Would definitely stay here again!
Clean and comfortable. Accurately portrayed. It is _actually_ right next to the ocean and we loved spending very minute of our time on the balcony.
