We enjoyed the condo very much. The porch was particularly nice to drink coffee in the morning. However, 1 bedroom was very hot, even with two fans. We are from Alaska, though, and used to our bedroom being 66 degrees at night. Additionally, I cook a lot and the knives were terrible! It was difficult to chop anything. Maybe add a knife sharpener. Other than that, it was a great home away from home.

Great location and great place. Great value. They provided essentially everything for a great stay. My only complaint is that their AC units have a 60min max timer, so you have to continue to turn the AC on every hour. The second bedroom only has a fan but no AC so the room gets hot fast and at night it becomes a problem.

Kona Condo

The condo was easy to find and to access. Had everything we needed for our stay. Accommodations were close to shopping, restaurants, and small beaches. Only complaint would be the wall unit air conditioning (living room and master bedroom) was on a 60-second timer and was noisy. There was no a/c in the second bedroom nor was there any way to get cross ventilation in the unit. Pretty hot and stuffy. The hair dryer in the master bathroom was noisy and sounded like it was on its last legs. Had to buy another dryer for our stay. Overall the stay was satisfactory for our needs.

Once Settled In - Overall Very Good apart from Road Noise

We had some hiccups with communication prior to arriving and we also would have appreciated clearer instrutions for how to use key box, but once we settled in all was generally fine. (Staff did come over to help us right away). The condo is well-appointed, and has a nice welcome basket and helpful binder. Comfortable walk into town. Very clean. Only real downside is that16 hours/day there is CONSIDERABLE noise from the main road - drivers seem to like to play music loud and have loud car engines, so not quite a paradise ambiance. But If this doesn't bother you, then no worries, it was overall a good value.

Shady Palms in Kailua Kona

Lovely little condo close to the pier area of Kailua Kona. (about a 12 minute walk to the pier) Very clean! Comfortable! Have to turn on the AC every 60 minutes due to a timer. There were warnings not to use too much electricity or you would be charged extra but it doesn't say what is "too much" and what extra charges would be. The lanai backs up to Alii Street which is very busy so it is not a quiet place to relax outside. Inside was perfectly quiet though. Great to have a washer and dryer and a kitchen stocked with dishes etc. We were able to cook a few meals rather than eat out all the time. We had to purchase shampoo, soap, toilet paper, sandwich bags, and trash bags during our stay. We enjoyed ourselves and do not hesitate to recommend this accommodation to others.

Aloha, Mahalo for your detailed and honest feedback. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the cleanliness, comfort, and convenient location of the condo—and that you were able to make good use of the kitchen and in-unit laundry during your stay. We appreciate you pointing out the air conditioning timer and the electricity usage notice. We understand how that may have caused some uncertainty, and we'll work on clarifying that language to ensure future guests feel more at ease. Your comments about the lanai and proximity to Alii Drive are also helpful for setting expectations, and we're glad the interior provided a peaceful retreat. Thank you again for staying with us and for recommending the condo to others. We'd love the opportunity to welcome you back on your next visit to Kailua Kona! Warmest aloha, Island Beach Rentals LLC

Home away from home

This two bedroom two bathroom condo/apartment was very clean. The master bed was very comfortable. Lots of pillows. I could sleep with the sliding screen door open and the fan and was very comfortable. The street out the window was noisy but it didn’t seem to bother me or my sleep. The master bath is lovely. I loved the glass rain shower, body jets and hand shower combo. The other bedroom bed was comfortable and the bathroom was good. No a/c in that bedroom. The fan helped. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. I couldn’t find a kettle to make tea, so just used a pot. The TV requires you to have subscriptions for most viewing like most TVs in the US but we aren’t used to that from where we come from. We enjoyed sitting outside on the very private patio. I also appreciated the snorkelling equipment and washer & dryer available for our use. We would definitely consider staying here again if we returned to the island.

Listing doesn’t do this place justice!

Awesome condo - immaculate and the photos and description really don’t do the place justice! Really good size and very well equipped. Even snorkelling kit for your use. 20min walk to the pier, ideal location for Ironman right on the run route. Would def stay here again!

A home away from home

This trip was one of the firsts I’ve had with my partner, and was are from the island of Oahu. I will say that we throughly enjoy the room, and it truly felt like a home away from home! Everything was so close in walking distance! We easily learned how to work the Kona Trolley station and that saved us a lot on money. We loved how spacious the room was for the two of us. The pool was very nice! We visited it 3 times! Lovely neighbors, and easily close to everything. We will be returning on a later date!

Very Comfortable Unit

This two bedroom is very comfortable. Kitchen was stocked with most everthing we needed to cook some meals in the condo. There is window AC units in the living room and master bedroom. The front bedroom dis not and was a bit warm, but ceiling fan did help. Cute little lanai , but Alii drive does make it a little noisy (but to be expected as it is the main drive) to keep door open or to sit out there. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. Wi Fi and TV were great for down time in the evening. Bathrooms were good sized and nicely appointed. Note no tubs if traveling with little ones. Were were not, so perfect for us. We would stay here again when in town!

Great location.. Loved it.

Great location, cools available to use, very well kept and clean. Full time neighbors next door not to hospitable, said hello and my husband offered to help the son with his car, but they weren’t interested I. His advice, ( my husband is a mechanic by trade.) other than that, it was very, very nice. And had a nice pool, well kept.

Lovely condo in perfect surroundings

This condo offers everything you need and even much more! We’re there for Ironman and felt really comfortable! We loved the location near the beaches, the shops and all the Ironman localities. The cozy terrace was brilliant for a coffee in the mornings. The pool area was brilliant for a barbecue. The climate was good for the night. Thank you for everything. We had a fantastic time in Kona!
