Enjoy island life just steps from the heart of downtown Kailua-Kona in this recently updated 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo.

Inside, you’ll find a bright and comfortable living space featuring a flat-screen Smart TV, queen-size sleeper sofa, and complimentary Wi-Fi and cable. The bedroom offers a king bed with ceiling fan and an attached bath, while a living room A/C unit keeps the entire condo cool and breezy. Enjoy brand new flooring (installed in 2024) and thoughtful touches throughout.
The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need — oven, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, toaster oven/air fryer, and electric kettle — perfect for enjoying a quiet meal in after a day of island adventure.
Step out onto your private lanai and take in peekaboo ocean views and the sights of lively Kona Town below. Sip your morning coffee or an evening margarita while watching the sunset over the Pacific.

Air-conditioner was very effective. We did not cook. We used microwave. Every thing was in a walking distance. We walked to a farmer's market in the morning. had a dinner at a restaurant and it was also in a walking distance. We did not use the swimming pool. Location was perfect. We felt very safe. In short, we enjoyed our stay and I recommend without any reservation.

Great place, has everything, near everything, clean and comfortable.

Great location, everything you need is in the unit, clean, comfortable, and well appointed. You can walk to downtown Kona in 5-7 minutes with lots of bars, shopping, and restaurants just around the corner. There are grocery stores nearby within 1-2mi, it's close to the airport and great hub for activity to do almost anything on the island. Watersports and tours close by too, assigned parking spot, there's a church behind the building so the neighborhood is quiet, and there are several beaches nearby.

Hidden Gem

The Condo is a hidden gem. The appartment house looks from the outside a bit old, but this condo is the opposite. Looks very new, very clear, has all what you need. Good location, clean, easy check-in and very friendly host. If we come back to Big Island an Kona, we will stay here again for longer time.

Prime central location!

We stayed for 4 nights while visiting family in Kona. The condo is a two-block walk from Ali'i drive (though you do have to walk up to the gas station next door to get to a sidewalk). The place had beach gear (including a decent sized Igloo cooler and beach umbrella) and toys for our 6 year old, and lots of extra towels. Well-supplied kitchen even had a rice cooker available if you so wanted. The pool was small and quiet, and had an actual bbq grill available for cookouts by the pool. So close to the Ali'i drive shops and restaurants that we walked pretty much the whole time, and only used our car for longer day trips to the beach. We had no issues at all, and would definitely stay again. This unit is the second floor, so the lanai had palm tree views. Next time we will probably stay in a higher up unit just for fun. The A/C was a must and definitely appreciated!

Great Location

Great location - easy walking distance to Ali Street to many shops and restaurants. Window air conditioner worked fine for cooling place off Wish the overall cleanliness could have been better. Had issue originally with shower curtain liner being very dirty and disgusting but the management company came and replaced with in an hour after I called. Used a lot of air freshener but just couldn’t get rid of stale smell or like someone used to smoke there.

Location!

Great location for visiting downtown area. The place was clean and well stocked with essentials. A faint funky smell, but not enough to bother me and I'm pretty sensitive to smells. At least they did not try to mask it with air fresheners or candles. Bed was comfortable and there was a good variety of pillows. Bed sheets were 100% polyester. A fitted sheet would have been nice, as would a change of linens. The tub is slippery, a bath mat would be a good addition.

Excellent Value Home-Base for Ocean View Kona Town- Walk to everything!

Aloha! Our family of three enjoyed our stay April 18-23 2019 very much :-) We were able to walk comfortably to everything in Kona town, so we were able to sample the happy-hours & wander the waterfront whenever the mood struck without worrying about driving or parking. Having a convenient reserved parking space close to the unit was another big plus so we could go exploring further out & not worry about finding a space on our return as has occurred at other locations on previous trips. Furnishings were comfortable, good linen supply, and kitchen materials. Daughter approved of the fold out hide-a-bed as comfortable, and the firmness of the main bed was comfortable for my wife & I. The ceiling fans and breezes kept us comfortable, so we did not use the AC. It is important to draw the curtains if you are going out for the afternoon to control the sun. Boogie board, beach chairs, and ice chests provided were much appreciated & a nice touch. The property overall is well maintained, quiet, and safe & secure. We enjoyed the poolside lpg bbq one evening for a fish dinner & although the pool is smallish it is very clean and refreshing at the end of the day. There is a homeless factor down along the main Kona waterfront strip but they were not in the condo building or parking vicinity. Our stay included a holiday weekend, but traffic noise was minimal & church bells were pleasant, brief in duration, & at a reasonable hour ;-) I believe this represents one of the best values for the location & Kona & will hope there is availability forour next trip! Mahalo nui loa!

Disliked: Communication

clean and the location was good but..

there was a problem with the laundry. First, there was no detergent in our room. Second, there was a laundry room, but "without coin-exchange machine." We were not able to use pay-range app, so we needed coin-exchange machine. When we sent a message to the host, they said they "believe there is one in the laundry room", but there wasn't. After that, the host didn't replied to our message. What a relief, there were a lot of clean towels. +other properties were clean and good. The view was nice too, and we had our own parking space.

We enjoyed our stay

My 6 yrs old son and I enjoyed our 7 day stay. Great location, walking distance to restaurants. It’s a old building, but inside the unit is clean. Great view from the balcony. You are able to see ocean far away. Few issues, the door nob came off once, and the coffee machine wasn’t working, but the management replaced them right away. Really appreciate their quick response. It’s also very safe, you can’t access the elevator without a key. I also like the floor plan, which allows good airflow. Over all I am happy about this place.

Great Stay

The building itself is a little worn down, but the upkeep of the condo itself is evident. Good location, clean, easy check-in and quick responsive host. I accidently locked myself out of the condo and First Island Realty were able to unlock it within 30mins of contacting them. Great location but the balcony overlooks a historic church cemetery, not a big deal but a little surprise.

Perfectly Adequate

The place was clean and comfortable, had everything we needed, and is in a quiet area, especially for near downtown Kona. We used to own a vacation rental a few blocks away, so my only suggestion would be to add some decoration: a few pictures on the walls, some tropical print throw pillows and bedspread would really brighten up the apartment. But, other than that, it was great!
