About this property

Real Ocean Front living! Private and well maintained! Excellent reviews!

Imagine being on a lava point jutting into the surf surrounded by beautiful views! You can relax on the 3rd floor private Lanai (balcony) and drift off to sleep to the sound of the waves. Or you can drink your favorite beverage and watch dolphins and whales in the distance. Or look down the coast were the green and brown palms trees meet the blue and white surf.

From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by the ocean breeze and gorgeous views. The layout is romantic, with Japanese Shoji doors opened to expose the queen-size master bedroom bed. From the master bedroom, the view is only of the ocean. The cable TV is viewable from either the living room or can be rotated to be viewed from the bed.

The second bedroom, private with a set of twin beds, has a smaller view of the ocean and has its own private bathroom.

The kitchen, stocked with everything you need except your groceries, is equipped to handle your gourmet meals and your blended tropical drinks.

The living room has comfortable seating, large screen cable TV, wireless Internet access, DVD player, CD player, radio, movies, books, games and an excellent Big Island Revealed guide book.

For your convenience, there is a new washer and dryer, and all the linens and things you need everyday.

This condo is on the rocks right over the water, with big glass doors with screens so you can have an ocean breeze and listen to the waves all night. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the kitchen was stocked with spices and oils, so it was easy to cook without purchasing too many items. There are moray eels in the tide pools on the rocks. We loved it!

Wonderful view

I still can’t believe the view from this condo is real. We were lucky to stay there during winter swells, watching the waves pounding the rocks. The place is neat and tidy. There’s some swim and beach materials (umbrella, cooler, boards) and the location is close to town.

Perfect location for an amazing vacation

The condo was extremely clean, and the view out the double slide outs were spectacular. Everything was in excellent condition, we enjoyed chess and of course the supplied beach gear, the coolers came in handy to pack lunches while on trips around the island. Have to say the MB shower was the best!! Access to the lava rock shore and swimming pool was used and a favorite for us and our two boys! Communication with the owners were quick and they answered all of our questions. Would highly recommend booking this unit for your next get away

Kitchen was updated and everything you need to feel at home. Easy access to downtown kona. Pool area was clean and quiet as well, with a well stocked library. 😊 i would not hesitate to stay here again and plan on coming back next year. Mahalo nui loa

This is the perfect place to stay

Great location, great accommodation, fantastic view of the sun setting. Even saw whales 300 yards off shore one afternoon. Spinner dolphins included. The owners equipped the place with everything needed for your stay. Kitchen had everything, beach supplies there for your use. Laundry supplies also. Appliances are new. The only issue which we knew going in was no a/c. Opening the doors to enjoy the breeze solved the a/c issue. Loved the breeze.

Wonderful Oceanfront Condo

I love Alii Villas and have stayed at more than one condo over the years. This was a well appointed condo with a fantastic lanai right on the waters edge. I stayed there by myself for 2-3 weeks and was very comfortable and content and had everything I needed nearby. In addition, they had great supplies for the kitchen, cleaning and laundry and it was very convenient. My husband and teenage daughter joined for 2 weeks and had a blast. The boogie boards and snorkeling equipment in their "activity closet" went a long way for the teenager and my husband loved the place. Very clean and nicely decorated. High recommendation! Very gracious and accommodating host. Thank you!

This is an amazing condo! Spacious, very clean, high-end...everything you look for in a great vacation rental. Breakfast on the balcony with the sound of waves breaking in the background, was a favorite part of our day, as was falling asleep to the lulling sound. The beds were comfortable, the grounds were very quiet, and the "private" parking slot was an added bonus. In addition, the snorkeling equipment & boogie boards were helpful and a good thing to have in the condo. We went to four different islands and stayed at beach condos on all of them; this was by far the best! If we return to "Big Island" in the future, we won't have to worry about searching for accomodations--this is the place to stay!!

Everything was perfect. Believe the reviews!

This is a great place! Everything was perfect. The hosts do a great on the details. Check-in was simple as explained in the welcome packet. Views are great. Place was very clean, and well stocked. It is nice having the beach gear and coolers there. As others have mentioned, the kitchen is well stocked for anything you might need to do your own cooking, and with the prices at restaraunts as they are, you might want to! I just had a hip replacement, but the walk into and back from town is not a problem. Figure 30 minutes for an old guy like me. Since I have nothing negative to say, I'll keep it brief!

True to its description this condo greets you with ocean breezes with a gorgeous view the moment you enter it. It was spacious enough to share with our daughter and her husband. Each couple had our privacy and could still enjoy the magnificent lanai and views. There was a wonderful breeze throughout the condo all the time. We enjoyed all our meals on the lanai and spent a majority of our time looking at the spectacular view. The condo project is quiet with a wonderful saltwater pool. It is walkable to town, but I would encourage visitors to head in the other direction as well. The owners, Monika and Joseph were wonderful to work with and we would recommend this property without reservation and gladly come back if the opportunity presents itself. Mahalo for letting us share your piece of paradise!

I so agree with all the other reviewers - this is an amazing location. The views are so wonderful from the large lanai (and the 2nd bedroom too!). We sat on the lanai for hours to take in the varied views (and did see one turtle in the week!) The place really is even more beautiful (inside too!) than the already great photos on the site. What also sets it apart is the wonderful service from the owners. They are so prompt and thoughtful. Great info before we arrived and the condo itself is perfectly organized. Everything you could need in the kitchen, plus a lot of great beach stuff (tons of beach towels, boogie boards, tatami mat). You don't have to leave the complex, but it's so easy if you do. Parking spot is right out front and you can either go into town or out sightseeing. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful Kona on the shore

My family and I had a magnificent week staying at this property. The condo was immaculate, with a truly wonderfully appointed kitchen. Making daiquiris w/ an ice-crushing blender and Mai Tais w/ the shaker-top cups was a joy, and I can honestly say I've never seen such a responsive electric stove. All appliances other than the TV seemed practically brand-new. Leaving both the front and lanai storm doors open gave a cross breeze such that we never thought to miss having A/C at all. The front security screen door was even durable enough to just keep the storm doors open all night. Loved the baby kettle-bell as a door-stop. :) The southwest-facing view gives a perfect sunset with dinner on the lanai. And the lanai's bamboo ladder was ideal for hanging wetsuits and SCUBA gear out to dry. The beautiful constant surf on the lava rock shore was not only lovely to watch and fun to dip our toes in, but gave a steady background white noise such that we rarely heard anyone outside. The property has easy access to town (~1 mile), and the standalone, pull-through parking spot was a surprisingly delightful luxury in an otherwise somewhat tight and twisty parking lot. We will absolutely be coming back to Kona again at some point, and when we do, I can only hope this property is available again. Thanks for an excellent stay.

Awesome Stay! Incredible view. Clean

We really enjoyed this condo. The view was absolutely beautiful. Clean! Condo is well equipped with kitchen / cooking supplies / dishes / glasses / spices, as well as plenty of beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, cooler, and beach towels). Would be helpful to have an extra set of bath towels for a family of four. The pool and grilling area are great and everyone we met there were extremely friendly and welcoming. Regarding distance from town and lack of AC, I thought I would just give some numbers to help things out. Condo is nine tenths of a mile from the Royal Kona (which is basically the start of the downtown area). But, easy walkways and sidewalks on Alii Dirve, if you want to walk, as many people do. Quick drive otherwise. The condo does not have AC as noted. They have (to their credit!) a thermometer in the main area that shows indoor air temp and humidity. The average inside temp, during our stay, was 78 degrees and the average humidity was 65%. We visited during last week in May. As I believe it is stated in the main listing, there is a good breeze (thru screen at front and lanai doors open). At night, the 2nd bedroom may get a little warmer but there is a ceiling fan and a box fan to help. We personally had no issues with the temperature. This might help to know interior temperature numbers going in, in case, any of it would be a problem for anyone. This is an awesome condo and I would gladly stay here again. I would not like to see any bad reviews on this condo because of lack of AC, as you know this going in. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

One of the best equipped vacation rentals ever!

We were blown away by the way the owners have equipped this fantastic vacation rental. You will find everything you need to enjoy your stay. Kitchen has cooking basics - spices, oil, kitchen tools of every kind, plenty of glasses, silverware, plastic rap, etc. You actually can cook a meal here without having to go buy every single ingredient. The apartment has a washer and dryer- and detergent and dryer sheets - full size too. There is suncreen, games, books, snorkel gear, nail polish remover, aloe, hair spray- I could go on and on!! The beds are firm but comfortable. The wifi and TV work properly. We didn't use the printer - but wow, how great that it was available. Then there is the location - close enough to downtown that it's not a hassle to go if you want to eat out - but far enough away that you don't feel like you are staying in a tourist trap. The highlight of course is the view - A++ we set our computers on the patio table and worked and enjoyed the scenery every morning and then went out every afternoon to various sites and places. I think a car is pretty mandatory on the Big Island and having reserved, spacious parking spot was an added bonus. The pool is clean but a bit too quiet for our taste - and there is no shade at the pool. So we preferred to head to the beach where there was shade trees (we liked Beach 69 - which is a bit of a jaunt - but it had bathrooms, shade, paid but available parking, white sand and enough people to make it interesting, but not overly crowded. There are so many options for beaches - so explore and find your beach! An all day drive to the Southern most point of the US - stopping at Hana Hou for lunch then Volcano Park and then to Hilo for dinner is recommended. Anyhow it's a great location and the fact that you can swim and BBQ on property is a big plus! Only suggestion is updating the instructions on the wall on how to get into the pool as they did not match the instructions given in the check in info. The ones on the wall were not accurate. But most of the signs in the unit were accurate and helpful. Note this is on the third floor and there are only stairs to the unit. Top floor so you get premium views and breezes - which is good as there is no AC. We were fine with sliders open and ceiling fan over the bed on. This is a GREAT place to stay for a family or 2 couples as there are two full baths. We would gladly book again.

This spacious 2-bdrm condo was perfect for our 10-day trip to Kona. It was clean, well-appointed and well maintained. And its location! To be any closer to the water, we'd have to be on a boat! The large furnished balcony was like an extra room, from which we could enjoy morning coffee and stunning sunsets. Although not air conditioned, there were multiple ceiling fans and a massive floor fan that kept things cool.Overall this is a fantastic home base for a trip to Kailua-Kona.

About the host

Hosted by Monika

Host profile image
We are very hard working people who like to take a nice vacation break in beautiful places like the Big Island of Hawaii. In comparison to a hotel stay we much more prefer spending our precious vacation time in a condo – especially a spectacular condo that has a private setting like this one. We just purchased this little slice of heaven and love to share it with our guests.

We strive to make your stay one of your most memorable vacations. The Kailua-Kona area of the Big Island offers more than you can imagine: From a very active island vacation to a quiet romantic time. Whatever you choose, it will be a nice break from a busy mainland life style.

We hope you value your time off as we do and will consider spending it as a guest in this spectacular condo with views and convenience not available anywhere else on planet!

Why they chose this property

For a surprise 50th birthday vacation we rented this unit in Alii Villas and totally fell in love with it. Everything else we looked at didn’t even come close to the beauty, setting, views and privacy of this condo. The complex is beautifully landscaped and maintained, there is a clean well maintained swimming pool for the days you don’t want to master the ocean waves and a convenient BBQ is for “grill-master” dining. Or just sit out on the very private lanai. We knew this was what we wanted.

Alii Villas is very conveniently located one mile from downtown Kona... great for shopping, restaurants, and night spots. We can walk into town in just 15 minutes. A Farmer's Market has a great selection of tropical fruit, vegetables and souvenirs all at good prices. Best of all, the people are wonderful. Every day, you will find the wide bicycle/walking paths along Alii Drive active with many friendly folks.

All activities including snorkeling, surfing, swimming, outrigger canoeing and shopping are minutes away. In addition, Volcanoe National Park is amazing too, as is all of the Big Island.

The overwhelming reason we bought unit 334 of Alii Villas was for its location... absolutely the best. One unit from the ocean and on the third floor, it is very private. There is no direct hot western sun to overheat the condo. The unit is on a point so views from every window are literally “to the horizon”. The large lanai offers lounging, eating and reading with only the sound of the ocean. There are no human noises... no pool below or street noise... just the stereo sound from the ocean on both sides of the condo. Condos this close to the ocean are not built anymore. This is the ultimate in oceanfront!

In addition to spectacular views the condo is naturally air conditioned by the ocean breezes. The point location means all the air is conditioned by the ocean...perfect temperature! Open the windows and there is a perfect cross breeze too.

We love this place!

What makes this property unique

Again, location, location, location! Being one unit from the ocean end and on the top floor makes it a very private and quiet setting. There is only one other couple sharing the third floor. Amenities within the condo make your outings even more enjoyable. You will find among other things beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling gear, a cooler and a travel guide to point out the best places to go.

Every activity including surfing, snorkeling, swimming, fishing, outrigger canoeing, kayaking, beach relaxing are literally from right in front of the condo (snorkeling, swimming and fishing access right below the lanai in the inlet seen in the photos).

In addition to being mesmerized by the beautiful ocean waves just below the lanai, short trips to the markets or walks up and down Alii Drive make staying here as convenient as one could imagine. Trips around the island to Volcano National Park or Hilo with its lush green gardens are easily accessible from this condo.
