This is the perfect location for everything Ironman whether you are a competitor, volunteer or spectator. Comfortable home and within a very easy walking distance plus shops and restaurants nearby.
Absolutely loved this condo. We've stayed at several condos in Kona Plaza over the years and this has been my favorite. Loved the extra space, the huge kitchen, and even the bed!
Enjoyed the stay! So central to all the restaurants and close to beautiful beaches. It was well equipped and we were happy with the snorkeling gear. Appreciated the Netflix in the evening.
The place is perfect, centrally located in downtown Kaiula Kona. The accommodations were excellent and the place very clean and well maintained. I just booked it again for next year.
We had a great stay and enjoyed the condo very much. The 2nd couple wished there was an AC in the 2nd bedroom, and the bathrooms were a little dirty on our arrival, but other than that it was great. We played games and puzzles, and loved the location. appreciate
This condo was great! It had everything we needed, including snorkel and beach gear, coolers, and beach towels.
It is a 2 minute walk to the Main Street, filled with shops, restaurants, or a walk along the ocean. A close drive to grocery stores, the harbor, and great snorkel beaches.
We really enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely Fantastic Stay!
We loved our time at this rental. The kitchen is well stocked. It is centrally located. The pool is great and there are lots of sand toys Floaties umbrellas available. The beds were extremely comfortable although they are small. There is floor mats that you can use to sleep on in one of the bedrooms. We can’t wait to come back!!!
I wanted a place I could walk from into the center of Kona and this is the place. Clean and many extras made available for me and my friends to use. Owners are very responsive and their description is very accurate. If you want to experience all that Kona has to offer you can’t go wrong with this condo. Thank you.
We had a fantastic stay at this short-term rental! The unit was well-equipped with air conditioning, which was a huge relief during the hot days. Having laundry facilities available was incredibly convenient, especially for a longer stay. The location was perfect—everything we needed was within walking distance, and the parking situation was unbeatable. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!
Great place walking distance to downtown Kona, 2 minutes. Go to Mass first thing then find coffee and breakfast. Lots of variety. Cruise the island seeing the sites return to the condo and find dinner within walking or make it in the condo. Thanks for sharing your place.

the unit was clean and in good shape. the air conditioning was not effective and all rooms were very hot even with fans running. because the unit is on lower level and closed from all sides, air conditioner need to work.

We had a great stay at this condo! Its extremely well-located if you want to stay in Kona, and walk around town. Beds were comfortable,and it was extremely spacious for our family of 4. It was also WELL stocked. The AC (hard to find in Hawaii!) took about 24 hours to fully cool the apartment, but the mini fans helped at night. Definietly an "older" home in terms of furniture, the general state of the building/unit, but everything in Kona is old, so it fit right in. The apartment felt clean, and very safe. Really, the only downside was that first night was kind of hot in the apartment.

Sadly not the best
The condo is situated in a parking lot, and the views from both bedrooms were disappointing. One bedroom looked directly into the parking lot, while the second faced the ramp to the garage. The pool area was just on the other side of the lanai blinds, and it felt like there was zero privacy. You could easily reach out and interact with someone in the pool, and the constant noise from the area was hard to ignore.
Additionally, the condo itself was in need of a thorough cleaning. There was a strong, musty smell throughout, which unfortunately permeated everything we brought inside. Our clothes and hair ended up smelling like the musty odor, which made the stay even more uncomfortable. The beds were small, barely double-sized, and far from comfortable. Only one bedroom had air conditioning, and the rest of the condo was stuffy, which made it hard to relax.
On the positive side, the property manager was very helpful and friendly, which was appreciated. However, despite this, the overall experience left much to be desired. Between the lack of privacy, the unpleasant smell, and the uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, I wouldn't recommend this condo for anyone seeking a peaceful or relaxing stay in Kona.

Hi Joe, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed this one didn’t meet your expectations. After reviewing your feedback, we’d like to share the following:- The condo is centrally located and designed for convenience, with parking available right outside the building—an increasingly rare and valued amenity in Kona’s busy downtown area.- While the views and proximity to the pool may not have been what you expected, we do show these features in the property photos so guests can make an informed decision before booking.- The beds are standard full and queen sizes, as outlined in our listing, and we understand that bed preferences can vary by guest.- Being close to the ocean, humidity in the area can sometimes cause a musty scent, but we’ll work with the cleaning team to thoroughly inspect the property and ensure freshness for future guests.We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

Reviewer Comments:
This place was awesome. You can't beat the location. It is at the heart of Kona with easy parking to explore other areas. The place was well stocked with kitchen tools and even extra sleeping pads. The AC was fair however with our closeness to everything we were not there much. When we were there it was quiet (even with the building work being done) and the geckos on the patio garden were plentiful. They had extra beach supplies though we didn't need them. My only issue was not feeling comfortable with questions I needed answered. The office was closed for our 4 day stay. I didn't feel comfortable calling the emergency number for questions like where do we dispose of our trash, and we don't seem to have a key for the upper level. Maybe it was closed but it would have been good to know because we planned on a bbq up top for my daughters 13th. That is petty stuff though. I highly recommend a stay there if you are looking. We stayed at #113 ground floor near the pool and parking if it makes a difference. Thanks for the stay!

Thank you for the review, and feedback! We do apologize for this issue; however, the emergency line is there for any questions you should have during your stay. We do encourage next time that you folks call should any issues arise. However, we do hope you otherwise enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again in the future!
Nous avons apprécié notre séjour.
Cuisine très bien équipée, air climatisée qui fonctionne très bien, lit confortable, très bien situé.
La tuyauterie est un peu bruyante et on a trouvée les règles entourant le lavage un peu exageree
Perfect location, beds were comfortable, lots of cookware and utensils, and check in process was easy. Mahalo

We really enjoyed staying at this unit, it was so close to the pool and the lanai decks were amazing. Lots of room for the 4 of our family. Great location to the Ali'i main drive and restaurants, ocean and stores. We definitely enjoyed our stay.

Aloha David, it’s great to hear that you had a positive experience at Kona Plaza 113. Our team will be happy to hear that their hard work has paid off! If there’s anything we can do to serve you further, let us know. Mahalo!
Pros:
-We’ve stayed in Kona Plaza before— it’s a fantastic location with many rental options.
This particular unit was pretty good overall.
-The lanai and extra outdoor space was great. -The immense amount of beach equipment was fantastic.
-The bed and pillows were comfortable.
-It was, for the most part, well stocked with everything you’d need.
Cons:
-We were rationed 4 rolls of toilet paper for a 10 day stay. That’s simply not enough for a family. We didn’t want to go through the hassle of coordinating with the management company for them to give us more so we just bought some from the ABC store across Alii.
-The same can be said for trash bags— we were also rationed 4. Thankfully we had family staying in another unit who had enough to share a couple with us.
-Being right next to the parking garage means that you hear it opening and closing at night whenever someone enters and exits. Not great for light sleepers at all. Just something to be aware of.
-The only broom to be found was an outdoor broom. Not sure why a vacuum or at the very least an indoor broom is not a staple in this unit. A beach vacation means SAND. And that becomes such a nuisance.
-The washer and dryer need some TLC, both for cleanliness and safety reasons. The washer smelled absolutely awful. Musty, moldy gross. Front loaders need to air out. The door and detergent tray need to be left open after every cycle to dry out. This washer clearly does not get that treatment. It made the whole back of the unit smell musty as well as our clothes after being washed. It needs a major major clean out. The dryer took an unusually long time to dry. Two full dry cycles and our clothes still seemed barely dry. We made sure the lint trap was clean so I suspect there is some lint build up in the hose which is a major fire hazard. Or, the machine is just not heating properly.
-The check out info requested getting laundry going when checking out to help out the cleaning crew (towels, bedding, etc.). The problem with that is that there was zero detergent available to us. Thankfully, I had thought to pack a little bit just in case, so that’s what we used the full 10 days. But I definitely didn’t have enough by then end of 10 days to help out the cleaning crew.
-The thermostat is ANCIENT. We had to turn the knob to 50 in order to get it to hover around 78-80.
Overall, we’d consider staying here again, but the unit could use some love and better rationing of supplies!
This condo was perfect for our 5 day stay in Kona. Walking distance to Ali’i Drive shops and restaurants which is exactly what we wanted. Fully stocked and well organized kitchen. 2 lanais were great for morning coffee or outdoor dining. Plenty of linens including beach towels. Also had some beach gear and coolers out on the lanai which we used during various trips throughout the week. The pool was usually pretty empty during our stay. AC worked ok and was needed/appreciated as it did get quite hot. The only thing that would have made it better are larger beds but we knew what to what to expect when we booked. Overall it was a cute, comfortable, clean and convenient place to stay and a nice choice if you decide against a hotel or resort.
