About this property

Look Down on Waves crashing on Lava rocks! Private, Quality, Excellent reviews!

Imagine being on a lava point jutting into the surf surrounded by beautiful views! You can relax on the 3rd floor private Lanai (balcony) and drift off to sleep to the sound of the waves. Or you can drink your favorite beverage and watch dolphins and whales in the distance. Or look down the coast were the green and brown palms trees meet the blue and white surf.

Two Pickleball locations near by! Snorkeling nearby! Lot's of great seafood restaurants too!

From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by the ocean breeze and gorgeous views. The layout is romantic, with Japanese Shoji doors opened to expose the queen-size master bedroom bed. From the master bedroom, the view is only of the ocean. The cable TV is viewable from either the living room or can be rotated to be viewed from the bed.

The second bedroom, private with a set of twin beds, has a smaller view of the ocean and has its own private bathroom.

The kitchen, stocked with everything you need except your groceries, is equipped to handle your gourmet meals and your blended tropical drinks.

The living room has comfortable seating, large screen cable TV, wireless Internet access, DVD player, CD player, radio, movies, books, games and an excellent Big Island Revealed guide book.

For your convenience, there is a new washer and dryer, and all the linens and things you need everyday.

Great location! Minor items that should be addressed are more zip lock and kitchen garbage bags in order to get rid of food waste and garbage on a daily basis (required in this climate to keep pests away). Other than that, it was all good. Would stay at this unit in the future.

We have stayed in many places along Ali'i Drive, and this unit is the best for value and a spectacular view. The large lanai (seats 6) looks straight down to the surf, with a panoramic view to the south. It's furnished comfortably, with lots of cooking staples in the kitchen. The hosts were welcoming and helpful. We'll be back.

The owners were very helpful and we never had to talk to the property manager. The place was very nice, comfortable, and clean. I did not have to rewash anything in the kitchen. The lanai and view was wonderful and we used it a lot. We did a lot of walking and driving. We did not use the pool so cannot comment on that.

This spacious 2-bdrm condo was perfect for our 10-day trip to Kona. It was clean, well-appointed and well maintained. And its location! To be any closer to the water, we'd have to be on a boat! The large furnished balcony was like an extra room, from which we could enjoy morning coffee and stunning sunsets. Although not air conditioned, there were multiple ceiling fans and a massive floor fan that kept things cool.Overall this is a fantastic home base for a trip to Kailua-Kona.

This condo is on the rocks right over the water, with big glass doors with screens so you can have an ocean breeze and listen to the waves all night. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the kitchen was stocked with spices and oils, so it was easy to cook without purchasing too many items. There are moray eels in the tide pools on the rocks. We loved it!

Lovely stay!

We had a lovely stay! Beautiful lanai to spend hours on in the early morning waiting for everyone else to wake up (4 hour time difference). Had everything we needed. The pool was wonderful and the location was perfect for us as we like being far enough away from the main area's hustle and bustle but close enough for quick trips when needed. Would definitely stay again!

I still can’t believe the view from this condo is real. We were lucky to stay there during winter swells, watching the waves pounding the rocks. The place is neat and tidy. There’s some swim and beach materials (umbrella, cooler, boards) and the location is close to town.

A Magical Week

Fourth of July in Kona! Another visit to the Big Island and another perfect stay here at this exceptional property! I spent 8 amazing nights here and it was spectacular. The property itself is perfect. It’s on the third floor and right on the beach. Listening to the waves all day and feeling the breeze is magical. I have stayed here before. And I always arrive and it is spotless and welcoming and I feel at home. Even the parking spot is perfect!!! I hope to return AGAIN I would never stay anywhere else!

Cleanest condo we ever stayed in. Perfect location.

This is the cleanest condo we have rented and we have been visiting Hawaii for decades. The maintenance is kept up and the remodeling is current. The condo is well stocked with more than we could have imagined. We enjoyed all of the tourist attractions years ago so we visit to relax at the oceans edge and this condo is right at the edge. We listened to the ocean during the day and fell asleep by it at night. Our stay was from April 22 - May 6, 2024, which is the end of whale season. We were fortunate to see a young whale swim right in front of the condo. The owners were always available to speak too. They are good listeners, they are honest, and they have integrity. We could not have asked for better owners and a more beautiful and comfortable condo. It felt like home. I read every review before we rented and every single review is positive. There is not one negative remark and we understand why after staying at Joseph and Monikas Condo.

A beautiful escape

Beautiful location! The lanai is quite large and is a lovely place to sit watching the waves. The kitchen had everything we needed and is updated - the unit overall is very light and bright. It was nice to have access to beach towels, cooler, chairs and umbrella. We’ve always loved the Alii Villas complex - many of the units are resident-occupied so it has a home-like feel. It has a good pool, well-maintained gardens, and ocean-front access to climb on the rocks or just watch the sunset. We would not hesitate to return!

About the host

Hosted by Monika

Host profile image
We are very hard working people who like to take a nice vacation break in beautiful places like the Big Island of Hawaii. In comparison to a hotel stay we much more prefer spending our precious vacation time in a condo – especially a spectacular condo that has a private setting like this one. We just purchased this little slice of heaven and love to share it with our guests.

We strive to make your stay one of your most memorable vacations. The Kailua-Kona area of the Big Island offers more than you can imagine: From a very active island vacation to a quiet romantic time. Whatever you choose, it will be a nice break from a busy mainland life style.

We hope you value your time off as we do and will consider spending it as a guest in this spectacular condo with views and convenience not available anywhere else on planet!

Why they chose this property

For a surprise 50th birthday vacation we rented this unit in Alii Villas and totally fell in love with it. Everything else we looked at didn’t even come close to the beauty, setting, views and privacy of this condo. The complex is beautifully landscaped and maintained, there is a clean well maintained swimming pool for the days you don’t want to master the ocean waves and a convenient BBQ is for “grill-master” dining. Or just sit out on the very private lanai. We knew this was what we wanted.

Alii Villas is very conveniently located one mile from downtown Kona... great for shopping, restaurants, and night spots. We can walk into town in just 15 minutes. A Farmer's Market has a great selection of tropical fruit, vegetables and souvenirs all at good prices. Best of all, the people are wonderful. Every day, you will find the wide bicycle/walking paths along Alii Drive active with many friendly folks.

All activities including snorkeling, surfing, swimming, outrigger canoeing, pickleball and shopping are minutes away. In addition, Volcanoe National Park is amazing too, as is all of the Big Island.

The overwhelming reason we bought unit 334 of Alii Villas was for its location... absolutely the best. One unit from the ocean and on the third floor, it is very private. There is no direct hot western sun to overheat the condo. The unit is on a point so views from every window are literally “to the horizon”. The large lanai offers lounging, eating and reading with only the sound of the ocean. There are no human noises... no pool below or street noise... just the stereo sound from the ocean on both sides of the condo. Condos this close to the ocean are not built anymore. This is the ultimate in oceanfront!

In addition to spectacular views the condo is naturally air conditioned by the ocean breezes. The lava point location means all the air is conditioned by the ocean...perfect temperature! Open the windows and there is a perfect cross breeze too.

We love this place!

What makes this property unique

Again, location, location, location! Being one unit from the ocean end and on the top floor makes it a very private and quiet setting. There is only one other couple sharing the third floor. Amenities within the condo make your outings even more enjoyable. You will find among other things beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling gear, a cooler and a travel guide to point out the best places to go.

Every activity including surfing, snorkeling, swimming, fishing, outrigger canoeing, kayaking, beach relaxing are literally from right in front of the condo (snorkeling, swimming and fishing access right below the lanai in the inlet seen in the photos).

In addition to being mesmerized by the beautiful ocean waves just below the lanai, short trips to the markets or walks up and down Alii Drive make staying here as convenient as one could imagine. Trips around the island to Volcano National Park or Hilo with its lush green gardens are easily accessible from this condo.
