Tennis court requires getting the key and returning the key to the HOA manager office, which is just a couple doors down but plan for the weekend because they’re not the end on the weekend. There are a few tennis rackets in closet.

Beautiful snorkeling reefs right at the property with access (except in high surf). Watch dolphins,sunsets and whales from the property. Shower is in the pool area to wash off

Nice place right on the ocean

The condo is in a great location for exploring both north and south. Clean, fully stocked kitchen, nice pool area with bbq grills by the ocean. We were able to watch whales and dolphins from the lawn chairs. There was a bunch of beach gear, but wouldn’t count on the snorkeling equipment (guests had obviously not taken care of it). There were a bunch of tennis rackets and balls too. The complex is very quiet. We had a great stay!

Home Away From Home

This comfortable, conveniently located condo is your ideal place to stay when in Kona. It had everything you needed to make your own meals if you wished. It’s really close to Kona if you wanted to go out. The pool was a perfect size with lots of lounge chairs. The unit had plenty of air flow to keep cool and a brand new A/C unit was replaced in the bedroom. We really appreciated the quick action from owner Janet to get that done as soon as we alerted her that it wasn't working. Great communication for checking in and to address any concerns we had. We will definitely be returning!

Great! Very clean. Comfy bed!

The complex is in great location. The pool area has great view for sunset. The ocean view is partial from the balcony. You can't see it from inside. Unit has beach stuff for you to use! I would have liked tv in bedroom bc I am one of those who falls aleep to tv..but no complaints.

A great stay in Kona

We really enjoyed this unit in Kona Makai. It was very clean and had a good setup for a small family with all the kitchen stuff included. It is close to town and not too far from the best beaches. All the amenities were as advertised. We would gladly stay here again.

We have really enjoyed our stay. There is more than enough space for 2. It was very clean and had all the amenities for a comfortable stay. We love watching. The sunset right on the water and walking into town in the am. The location is very convenient. Thanks for having us.

Excellent Place for a Getaway

This is my 4th trip to Kona Makai, and the 4th different condo I’ve stayed in. Each has been clean, well cared for, and had the view as advertised. The grounds at magnificent, with a fabulous tropical garden. The pool is delightful, and the patio area is excellent. Lounge chairs for relaxing, tables and chairs for dining or socializing, and 5 grills for use by guests!

Very comfortable and pleasant

Loved the lanai. The trees hid the view of the ocean but they also kept the lanai cool during the day so we could sit out and enjoy the outdoors. Also loved seeing the sunset while having my glass of wine.

The most perfect Kona vacation base!

We are so lucky to have been able to book this cute yet spacious apartment space on the Kona side. Check in was a breeze (tons of parking available) and the owner was fast at replying to any questions that I had. From the theme of the decor to the endless supply of utensils and water sport/beach supplies, we could tell that a lot of love and effort has been put into the place. Super close to the downtown Kona area. The sunset views from the shared space near the water were a cherry on top. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Retired and enjoying freedom to travel. Love staying at Kona also and kids grew up snorkeling and swimming here.

Why they chose this property

After doing all the islands, Kona has the best weather. Not much wind and rain. Plus it still has a small town atmosphere. I have enjoyed the Kona Makai since it was new, coming with my parents. I bought and have maintained a vacation unit since 1998. I enjoy coming regularly to ensure maintenance, updates and replenishing is done.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy Beautiful sunsets right on the ocean
Bbq right on the ocean for dinner sunsets Build g 5 is perfect for unloading groceries right in front, no stairwell, away from pool common area noise, close to parking, just few steps to pool. It has two lanais unlike the older building 1,2 and 6. It’s not facing parking by tennis courts and alii road noise like building 4. Nice view to ocean from lanai.
