We had a nice stay at this apartment near the beach. Welcoming and communicative host. Apartment was clean and had beach stuff for us to use. Was a little tight for 4 adults and 1 child to cook and eat, but overall a good experience.

Convinient Location to the best Kona Beaches & Great space for a family!

Awesome location, the communal pool is AMAZING with a beautiful Koi pond nearby. Spaced to BBQ outside and a fully furnished kitchen! Super close to surfing and some of the best beaches, easy to run down Ali'i drive!

Great air conditioning, responsive host, kitchen was well set up. I wish there was aluminum foil or zip lock bags or something like that already here. I appreciated all of tge beach stuff tgat was here to borrow! Bed was a little too soft for me, but my daughter liked it.Only major drawback was the dang rooster. He crows from 5am-9am. So if you're a light sleeper, don't choose the master bedroom. Beach across the road was a nice place to check out. Overall a really wonderful experience. Thank you!!

Perfect family getaway!

Our family stayed at this condo and it was perfect! The condo came equipped with all of the essentials and more. The location is just a quick drive from downtown Kona and there is so much to do. We did have 1 issue with one of the slider doors and they came and fixed it the next day! The kids loved the pool and seeing the occasional kitty visiting the property. We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again in the future!

Perfect Base for Kona Adventure

The owner was a great with communication about check-in/-out, and ideas for things to do, restaurants, etc. The location was great for driving or even walking anywhere. The Kona shuttle bus was nearby as well. Even the small rocky beach across the streat was a fun place to go read, relax and take a dip. It was a quick drive to Kailua or other Island locations. The apartment was well equipped for the kitchen (great knives!!!) and beach gear. The pool area was a great place to relax and grill dinner, too.

Kona Hidden Gem

Ying provided a great handbook before we arrived. Everything was detailed and we had issues while we were there. The condo was clean and comfortable for 4 adults, and outfitted with everything we needed. We appreciated having the beach chairs and beach towels, put them to good use. We had a great time exploring the Big Island, first time there and hope to go back.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the property. The pool and outdoor community space were very nice. We had an assigned parking space right near our entrance which was nice to have since we had a car. Check in and out we're easy. There is grocery shopping about 10 minutes away and some local shops near by. Several food options near by as well. There was plenty of space for our family of 5. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. We did find the place to not be well cleaned overall, there was hair in one of the showers, a spray bottle lid on the floor, and the kitchen unwiped. While we didn't find the place to be overly noisy the walls seemed a little thin, you could hear people talking and walking around on the upper levels.

Nice place, helpful management

A comfortable, convenient space that had all the amenities we needed for a couple of days. Family loved the pool and access to the beach and easy access to Kailua Kona for the last couple of days. The owner and host were super friendly and responsive. The shower curtains were a little smelly and the place was darker than the pictures, and noise travelled easily in the building, but these are relatively minor things. I would have scored this higher if we hadn't been in such stellar places the two weeks prior.

Super relaxing

We had a great time at the Royal Kahili. The pool and outdoor area were great. The whole place has a very mellow vibe and the location is perfect for exploring Kona. The apartment was very comfortable and the back porch over looks an undeveloped forested area where we saw wild pigs and chickens. The only downside for us was that even though there was an elevator, there were multiple steps to get to the apartment and the pool. Our son uses a wheelchair and we had selected the apartment because of the elevator. We were able to make it work but it was a little tricky. Overall we would highly recommend staying here!

Thanksgiving gettaway

We are a family of 4 from Honolulu and this was our first time to Kona. The unit was in a good location and was nice and spacious. A/C worked great and we don’t have central A/C in our house so it was a real treat. We cooked an entire Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen. Having the master bathroom with big shower was super nice. Having the box of pool/beach toys was a nice touch. Our 15 year old and 2 year old loved the pool which was clean and a good temp. The only annoyance on the trip was the roosters in the woods nearby which start crowing at 4:30am! Overall we really enjoyed and would stay here again. The unit really is big and open and has a comfy feel.

Good Homebase for visit to the Big Island

We enjoyed our stay at Ying’s condo. Ying and Bridget were very attentive and quick to respond for needs of a few missing supplies. The condo was well stocked with dishes, towels, beach supplies, bathroom essentials, etc. The location was central for beach, shopping, and going north or south on the Island. It was nice to have a close parking spot and only about 5 steps to the 2nd floor. And the koi pond area was nice. We used the bbq and table down in the community area to watch the sunsets. It was a bit cramped for 4 adults. The tv area could use another comfortable seat or 2. We cooked most meals and the kitchen was tight for more than 2 people. Note that the doors are slatted on the bedrooms and hall bathroom which can be awkward if you’re traveling with another couple. Our biggest issue however was the flock of roosters next to the complex. Husband suggests you bring earplugs as they roost and crow in the trees right next to the master bedroom but were heard clearly and loudly in the far bedroom. This is not something Ying can do anything about, but it is an annoyance at 3 in the morning.

About the host

Hosted by Ying M

Host profile image
We're a family of three loving travel around the world. When our son was 5, we took our first family trip to Hawaii, and it was pure magic. There is something in the Hawaii air that is very healing, and We started to fall in love with the islands. From then on, we took family trips to Hawaii every year and tried every Hawaii island.

Of all the Hawaii places, Kona fits us like a glove. Kona has become, for us, our own cherished spot of paradise. It's perfect because it's not crowded and feels very relaxed with that small-town feel. The three of us love snorkeling (even though I can't swim far without a noodle :)). Practically every spot along the shore I've tried has had something to see like tropical fish, and of course, there are sea turtles everywhere! We think the advantage of the lava beach is it keeps the island from becoming too crowded and makes everything more scenic and beautiful...and there are plenty of great sandy beach spots for swimming, tanning, and surfing.

The Big Island has become a big part of our lives forever, and we hope you find it as magical and healing as we do.

Why they chose this property

We have had a condo in Kona for almost 10 years now, but we had a one-bedroom condo on the same street. We always knew we wanted a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo in Kona and have been very familiar with this area. We had our eyes on this particular condo for quite a while before we had an opportunity to purchase it. This condo has the perfect location of being central to the Kona area, so you can go North or South easily. It is close to downtown and all the shopping/eating but it is a smaller condo complex tucked away even it is on the main Alli Dr. It's very quiet and peaceful. The complex is so well managed with a super cleaning pool and hot tub. The other big factor is this condo has set up for Central A/C, which is super rare. Kona is breezy at night but on hot days, central A/C is such a lifesaver for us!

What makes this property unique

Smaller well-managed condo with a great family atmosphere.
Feel like home with all the comfort.
Prime location yet very quiet and peaceful
Central A/C(very rare)
