Great Stay

We had a great stay at Debbie's condo. The location right on the water was fantastic. The ocean sounds and views are unmatched. The condo is so private and is outfitted with everything you need. If we went out, I couldn't wait to get back to sit on the lanai. So relaxing.

This place was perfect for us. Place was clean, view was gorgeous, perfect location, was well equipped. If you don't use a car, the free trolley will come by each half hour for a trip to towns or beaches nearby. The owners were very pleasant and easy to work with. Hope to come again soon.

Lovely, relaxing stay

This condo was exactly what my family and I were looking for. It is really lovely and in a fantastic location, with all the amenities one would need. It was also a very quiet condo complex and the pool was never crowded, in fact the majority of the time there were no other people. We spent the majority of our time on the lanai watching the waves and people fishing and walking by on the rocks. Thank you for letting us stay.

Beautiful view , conveniently located

The unit was exactly as described. With a beautiful lanai that was nice to sit and chill on. Nightly we were lulled to sleep by the crash of the waves. We had two issues with the unit that were quickly resolved. Would highly recommend

Stop reading and book it now!

This place is superb. We’ve stayed in at least 15 vrbos in Hawaii, most were very nice, but none compared to this condo in Kona. When renting, there are several things that matter, and this place has it all: Comfortable furniture (in and out) Well stocked kitchen utensils, pans etc. Hangers in the very large closet Lots of drawers and hooks It has AC but we didn’t use it Clean clean clean! Beautiful renovation! It was like IKEA, they thought of everything. The location and view can’t be beat. One review mentions noise from the church next door, it is not an issue. It was quiet~aside from the awesome crashing waves. We loved it and would definitely stay here again. Mahalo

Wonderful place with views to die for!

First off this unit is in the premier location in it’s small complex. It’s on the top floor with beautiful ocean views. It’s an end unit so it views the ocean to the south across a park like setting of an old stone church next door. The kitchen has everything we could have wanted, the unit was spotless, and the king sized bed in the master bedroom was great. We were glad to be just far enough from the downtown area to have a quiet stay but close enough to run in for dining and shopping as needed. This was the most expensive of the three different condos we stayed in on our visit and was well worth the cost. Thanks, Debbie, for being easy to communicate with and for sharing your dream of a vacation home!

Amazing place with great views & location

If you are trying to decide on where to stay in Kona, you have found it. Seriously, just go ahead and book it. I looked at many places and decided on this one. It exceeded expectations. The view is even better than the pictures can show. The location is excellent. Close to the action, but still private. The place has everything you'll need - kitchen, living room, comfortable bed, 2 baths. Owner is very responsive and process is easy. This is clearly a well maintained home and is very comfortable. The beach is easily accessible and interesting for checking out tidal pools. Not really good for swimming, but there are plenty of swimming beaches nearby and the pool onsite is nice.

Wonderful View

Very lovely spacious condo. Only 1 bedroom available as owners use 2nd bedroom for storage. But we knew that up front. The master bedroom is quite large and the king size bed was VERY comfortable…no back pain at all during our stay. Only complaint would be that the elevator conked out one day, but called the number posted outside the elevator, and someone was sent out to fix it later that same day. Also, tv wasn’t working…problem with cable company….but didn’t really miss it. The sound of the ocean is always far more enjoyable than television at Kona Nalu!

Wonderful oceanfront condo!

The main thing, of course, is that you are directly on the waterfront. No other condos in front of you, and since it is the end unit, you have an open view. Just a straight shot looking out over the ocean. The sound of the surf is so relaxing. In the morning, outriggers are moving through the waters, and you are welcome to join them if you feel like it. In the evening, you can sit on the lanai with a drink (or more!) and watch the sunset. Turtles can be seen burrowing into the sand below. The condo is very comfortable for two couples with two separate bedroom and bath areas. Everything is provided, and the unit is extremely clean. It was our first time in Kona, and we enjoyed the access to restaurants, shopping and golf in the area. We will surely rent this condo again!

Fantastic ocean front condo

We thought this property was perfect. The descriptions were spot on. As soon as we walked in we knew we had mad a good decision to rent here. The entire unit has a very updated and modern look. The fact that it is on the corner of the building is a huge plus. Easily accessible covered parking. Only a short drive, or maybe a little bit of a walk (2 miles), in to the heart of Kailua-Kona. The views from the living area and the master bedroom are pretty amazing. The only obstruction to the view is the palm trees on the beach. The lanai is very comfortable and a great place for coffee in the morning. In the afternoon and evening we also found it to be very comfortable. The roof provides needed shade and the breeze off of the ocean is just right to keep it cool enough to relax. Although we did not see any whales, since we were after the season, we did have a turtle come visit in the tidal area right in front of the unit. This spot is as advertised, or maybe even a little better. It is hard to put the sounds of the ocean in to pictures. Highly recommend!!

25th Anniversary and 1st Trip to HI

We had to change plans from Maui just a few days before our trip and I was worried about finding something we liked as much as the Maui condo in such short notice. This place did NOT disappoint! It was the very best supplied rental we have ever stayed in. They seriously thought of everything! The view from the lanai was absolutely amazing and the sunsets out there were breathtaking. Condo was clean, ready early and we didn’t have one issue. Two things to be aware of-it’s on the third floor with no elevator. This may be an issue for some but we were fine with it. (Hubby did all the carrying!) the other I saw mentioned in a review before we booked. The condo is a corner unit and there is a small but very active church right next door. It didn’t bother us though. There are shades on that side of the lanai, if you want to close them but we were up high enough, it didn’t phase us. Condo is in a great location with easy access to the main road, going to “town” but not in the middle of craziness. The people below us had just bought and moved there part time and we’re super friendly. Book this condo, you will be glad you did.

This lovely condo was the perfect spot for our two-week Big Island vacation. The location is spectacular, with the surf rolling in right below the lanai, and stunning views. We only used the A/C two nights because it was much more enjoyable to instead keep the doors open and enjoy the sound of the surf. We had our coffee on the lanai every morning and enjoyed sunset cocktails there every evening. The kitchen was fully stocked and provided everything we needed for meals. The fact that it's a corner, top floor unit made the whole experience feel extra special and private. The primary bathroom was really excellent, with separate "his n' hers" vanities, a separate and private toilet room, a large walk-in closet, and a washer/dryer combo. The condo itself was very clean, spacious, and had every amenity we needed to enjoy our time on the Big Island. We had a few questions when we first arrived to which the host responded promptly. We have zero complaints and would return to this condo in a heartbeat. Happy to give it our highest recommendation!

Oceanfront Accommodations

We enjoyed staying in your very well appointed ocean front, ocean view condominium,. We found everything that we needed to have a really enjoyable stay. I would say the only challenge we faced was trying to get a cross draft to cool the place off at night. There are a lot of fans but getting a breeze to do down the hall and through the screen door on the front was practically impossible most nights but we eventually were able to get the place cool enough to sleep in each night and I have to say that I for sure Highly recommend lstaying there as it is a true oceanfront experience. Would stay again if I return to the island.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Fults

Host profile image
Aloha, I'm Suzanne, your host! I'm a big fan of boating, relaxing at the beach, and enjoying all the magic this island has to offer — which is why this oceanfront condo is so special to me. Whether you're here for a romantic escape, a friendly vacation, or just some time to unwind by the waves, I’m excited to share this little slice of paradise with you.

The condo offers stunning ocean views, refreshing sea breezes, and all the comforts of home — just steps from the sand. I’m always happy to help with local tips, dining recommendations, or anything else to make your stay unforgettable. I look forward to hosting you and hope you love the space as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

We love this property because Kona Nalu is a small condo complex (15 units total), 3 floors. Our unit is on the top floor corner with windows along the entire south side and west side for incredible ocean and sunset views and breezes. It really is a special, unique spot yet close to the village of Kona, the best snorkel spots and so much more! The name of the Condo Complex is Kona Nalu.

What makes this property unique

While enjoying the spectacular views from the lanai, you will have difficult choices to make each day: Putting on snorkel-gear and heading to the beach, swimming with the spinner dolphins, going for a surf, stand up paddle boarding, paddling an outrigger canoe or enjoy laying out by the pool. Not to mention the stunning golf course within 5 miles, walker friendly Ali'i drive, or tennis and pickle ball courts that welcome all visitors. The options are endless!

The Big Island has so much to offer: Explore an active volcano at the wonderful Volcano National Park, take a trip to Mauna Kea to some of the world’s largest telescopes at 13,796 ft and learn about the stars and solar system, or visit the local coffee plantations, macadamia nut plantations and the Original Hawaiian Chocolate factory. The choices and diversity are amazing on this wonderful island!
