About this property

Oceanfront, Renovated & Accessible Downtown Kona - Beautiful Ocean Views! 1st Fl

Accessible and modern ground-floor, 2 bedroom/2 bath unit with spectacular ocean front views on a 200 sq ft lanai. Only one small step from a parking spot directly in front of your unit separates you from your Hawaii Island home (walk around to the right for step-less entry). No other stairs! Granite counter tops and a fully stocked kitchen await, along with an extra-large washer & dryer, step in showers in both bathrooms, a king-size tempurpedic bed, and queen-sized Murphy bed in the guest room. Check-in anytime with our PIN-based door lock.

We are also sticklers for health and cleanliness. We follow VRHP/VRMA (Vacation Rental Housekeeping Professionals/Management Association) guidelines and protocols for cleaning, including blocking at least one day between rentals, having our cleaners wait at least three hours prior to entry to protect their health, and using a comprehensive disinfection process with a focus on high-touch surfaces. Linens and bedding are washed using the highest possible temperatures, and everything that was out for use will be washed as well, regardless if it was used.

Concrete construction, ground floor location, and ceiling fans in all rooms keep the unit cool. However, to accommodate those unaccustomed to tropical climates, there are two air conditioners: a 10,000 BTU unit in the master bedroom/living room and an 8,000 BTU unit in the guest bedroom. But feel free to keep all the windows open at night since you're set so far back from Alii Drive! Nearly 200 meters/yards separate you from the roar of traffic, leaving only the sound of crashing waves to lull you to sleep at night. Our building is the closest one to the ocean in the complex. Don't forget to catch the fiery sunsets from April - September from the privacy of your lanai, and from the viewing area the rest of the year.

Feel like getting a little work done? There's a portable desk, networked laser printer, high-speed internet access, and 5G router. In case you need a break from vacationing, Netflix and other Roku apps are available on our 55" LG 4KTV. Our unit comes with beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and coolers as well, along with boogie boards and assorted beach toys for the kids. These supplies are stored in the outdoor closet, next to your parking spot. Heated pool and BBQ facilities are close by for those relax-at-home days.

This is our home for part of the year, and it shows. Artwork from well-renowned local artists and our own photography grace our walls, and furnishings/bedding are high end. Kitchen cupboards are completely stocked with china, glassware, cutlery, and nearly every appliance imaginable. We also make updates every time we visit. And don't forget about the heated pool and BBQ facilities just steps from the unit. If you're daring (and a really advanced snorkeler/swimmer), there is good snorkeling right outside the unit. *Warning* Tides can be very rough and unpredictable. Enter at your own risk! Seriously!

For full disclosure, there are two Google Nest cameras- one on the lanai above the love seat, focused on the space between the lanai and our neighbors, as well as the doorbell. The lanai camera will be disabled at check-in.

Important: If you plan on bringing a pet, PLEASE INQUIRE WITH US FIRST. All pets need to be approved by the Board, with an application submitted by the renter. If this is your first time traveling to Hawaii with a pet, please know that there are very strict rules/regulations governing bringing a pet into the state.

Finally, whatever you choose to do, our Kona Town Condo is the perfect unit in the perfect location for you and your ohana. Mahalo and e komo mai!

We absolutely loved this location. Being right on the ocean was such a highlight. We watched a cruise ship come in on one of the mornings. We also saw a pod of dolphins one morning. The beds were comfortable and the apartment had all we needed. If I gave any complaints it would be just the temperature. We are mainlanders coming from no humidity. The A/C units and fans never cooled the place down cooler than 77 degrees. It was a bit warm for what we are used to sleeping in. The location was great for us to visit all over the island. We even enjoyed the pool on one of our days.

We were in town for 2.5 weeks leading up to the 2024 Ironman world championship. Jason and Emme‘s apartment has a great location, is super convenient, well equipped and very well maintained. We enjoyed it from start to finish. Also, Jason has done a great job as a host, sharing lots of valuable information. We would love to stay in this condo again, if we get a chance to return to this beautiful island one day. Mahalo!

Comfortable condo, fabulous location and view

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this unit. The condo is nicely furnished inside and out. The comfortable lanai furniture makes relaxing on the lanai very inviting. We had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. The printer for printing out our bag tags was a nice bonus. We also appreciated the condiments, ice packs, beach chairs, beach towels and snorkel gear.

Home away from home

Beautiful condo with all the comforts of home. Owner thought of everything. Jason was very attentive and responded quickly to any questions. Small foot note...i visited in late July. The big island is extremely humid in July. The aur conditioning unit in the living room is not sufficient to cool off the living room and master bedroom. Other than that, perfect stay. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend this unit.

Amazing week in Kona at Ali’i Villas

The Kim family’s condo was just perfect for our first trip to the Big Island. We were two adults and a three year old. The location in Holualoa was perfect for taking our rental car across the island in all directions. Having a reserved parking space and easy condo access with the code was great at the end of a long day exploring. The condo is close to several nice public beaches but the complex is quiet and set back from the busy road. We thought both the Murphy bed and master bed were very comfortable, and the bathrooms were spacious! We ate all meals out on the lanai and had all we needed for cooking. We appreciated the gear closet with everything for a day at the beach! The pool was clean and quiet as well with a nice grill area and outdoor shower great for cleaning off after being out and about. We can’t wait to come back to the big island and would love to stay here again; have already recommended it to others!

Too short a Time in Paradise

We have stayed many times in different condos at Alii Villas, this being the first time here in Jason’s and the first time we've stayed for a month. It was great having a second bedroom and bathroom as we had a guest for part of our stay. Jason was always quick to reply to any question or request and most helpful. This condo looked out along the coast and the town of Kailua Kona and this orientation allowed the flow of breezes to keep it cool. There are 2 air conditioning units which we didn’t have to use plus fans everywhere including on the large lanai. We had the use of beach chairs, umbrellas, several coolers plus boogie boards. The kitchen was well equipped and had many spices and condiments for us to use. We spent most of our time on the lanai, enjoying our morning coffee and meals while listening to the waves crashing against the rocks. We would recommend this condo in a heartbeat and hate to leave our home in paradise.

Lovely Condo on the Water

My brother and I traveled to Kona for a dive trip to celebrate his 50th birthday. This place caught my eye as it appeared to be in a great location, was reasonably priced and well equipped. The photos and descriptions were very accurate and representative of what we experienced. There were A/C units available in each of the bedrooms, but we barely used them as the volume of ceiling fans along with the cross breeze generally kept it quite comfortable. This was especially true out on the lanai. I run warm, so this was kind of a big deal for me. We walked to town a few times and I believe it was a little less than a mile to the edge of town (Royal Kona Resort, Huggo’s On the Rocks, etc.). When we were not diving, we also drove 2 or 3 miles the other way to a great little beach for snorkeling. We usually got there before 9 and there always ample parking. The rode also has great shoulder for running or biking if that is your thing. The most notable item for me was the attentiveness of our host Jason. He regularly communicated both before, during and after the trip to ensure everything went well. He was super responsive to emails, so we did not have to wait long if we had a question about something condo related or anything in the area for that matter. I would definitely book here again.

New Year’s Hawaiian Holiday

Jason was absolutely the best host! The information we received before we got there was so helpful. We had zero questions and had such great ideas from Jason for beaches, grocery stores, parks and restaurants. At his home any question we had was taken care of by a label or was in our information packet. It was so easy to stay there. Jason always responded immediately and was always very helpful. The lanai is the BEST and that view was wonderful! We loved your place and would absolutely stay there again!

Great Condo Right on the Ocean

My family spent the Christmas Holiday here and loved the Condo. It's right on the water, and you can hear the surf crash all night while you sleep. Everything was clean and well stocked. Having two bathrooms, made it easy to share with my wife and 21 year old daughter. The Lanai is as big as it looks in the pictures and we spent most all our out there. The complex is quiet and very well maintained, The location is great, less than a block to The Green Flash Coffee shop, and not too bad a walk into Kailua. Would highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Kim

Host profile image
My family and I have been returning to the islands for the past few decades. The first time we visited, we instantly fell in love with the people, culture, natural beauty, and of course, the food (and coffee) of Hawaii. After traveling to nearly all the islands (except for Niihau & Kahoolawe), we've always wanted to retain a connection back to our favorite state. After a few more visits, we decided that we wanted to get away from the busyness of Oahu, resort-like feel of Maui, and more isolated nature of Lanai/Molokai. The Big Island quickly emerged as our favorite island with its natural beauty, capacity to be explored, and people.

Kona in particular offers everything we've been looking for. Its beaches (and those outside of the area) have superb water sports and snorkeling, peace and quiet from the masses, and incredible diversity (black/green/white sand). The food is incredible (poke! Kona coffee!), locals laid-back and friendly, and the land offers nearly all of the climates our earth has to offer. Everything you could possibly want in an island, the Big Island offers. And we're so happy to officially call it our (second) home.

Why they chose this property

We had been looking for a property in Kona for a few years - everything from single family homes to condos. When our Alii Villas unit popped up on the market, we knew it was exactly what we had been looking for: an ocean-front, ground floor unit accessible for our retiring parents. We didn't want to put a lot of time and work into it, and were happy to see how well the previous owner had taken care of it, and renovated it to high standards. And of course, there was the view - a panoramic, sunset oriented one of Kailua Bay.

While other complexes had great views and modern features, they didn't offer the well-manicured grounds of Alii Villas or its peace and quiet. Alii Villas is located nearly 200 meters/yards off of Alii Drive. With the the lanai doors and windows open at night, the ocean breezes and soothing sounds of crashing waves lull you to a relaxing sleep. There are no other modern sounds to speak of!

What makes this property unique

Peace & quiet. Cool ocean breezes that lull you to sleep at night. Sunset dining on the lanai. And all the creature comforts and amenities you'd expect from a well-stocked vacation home. We spend a lot of time here, and stock it so that we only need a few supplies and trips to the stores to make ourselves at home. We pay it forward (and encourage others to do so too) so don't be surprised to find some fresh goodies in the fridge and pantry!
