Amrith,
Thank You for your honest & positive review, it was a pleasure having you stay in our Condo and we welcome you back should you return to Kona.
This was the 3rd unit I've rented at Kona Isle in the past year. It was exactly as described and pictures were spot on. Unit was very clean and well maintained. The grounds are also wonderful. After spending my first 5 days in the Waikoloa area, I felt like I was "back home" at Kona Isle!

Clean, great location, easy to get in touch with the owner.
We enjoyed our time at Kona Isle. The condo was very clean and well organized. It was quite warm the 10 days we were there (we have been to Kona two previous times), and not being able to leave the air conditioner on at night (per the owner request I am assuming) made it very hard to sleep. It is a very centrally located condo.

Aloha Karine:
It was a pleasure having you stay at our Condo. You were an excellent guest and we will welome you back should you wish to return.
In regards to the A/C there must have been a misunderstanding. With Hawaii having the highest electrical charges in America we only ask if you aren’t occupying the Condo to please ensure the A/C unit isn’t running during your absence.
We do encourage our guest to try and use the fans over the A/C if at all possible but do not restrict the use of the A/C especially at night.

Condo is located ocean side in a well kept complex. Condo is on the ground floor, updated and nicely appointed with everything we needed. Owner provided easy to follow directions and instructions for access. Owner is easy to contact and responds quickly. We will definitely stay again on our next trip to the Big Island. Wonderful trip!

This was our second stay at Kona Ilse. We love the quietness of this condo complex when compared to the busy town of Kona. The pool is just right, always warm, has good seating, never too busy. The beach area (palm trees/lounge chairs by the ocean) is peaceful and great place to relax and read a book. Mel was great, very friendly, and informative. always answered any questions i had prior to arriving and after arrival. we had a few issues upon arrival but he dealt with it immediately and made sure we were all good. Kitchen had everything we needed so we managed to eat the majority of our meals at home, which i always appreciate, its frustrating when you don't have tools to make a meal. Bed was comfortable and he had a variety of bath and beach towels for us, which was great! there was a nice patio table and chairs where we ate and played cards. He was also super accommodating to our late checkout (lucky no one was arriving!) we love Kona and will be back and will stay in Mel's unit again.

Good location, reasonable price.
We enjoyed our stay at Kona Isle, very much. It is a great location, and the property is well managed and kept. The neighbors were courteous and quiet. It was what I expected. Not fancy, but very clean, and well stocked. The ocean is very close (the condos are ocean front, the unit is not), and we spent alot of time in the lounge chairs, watching the sunset, reading...we usually had it to ourselves. The way the condo designer originally set up the ocean side area is worth staying here, very relaxing and private. Sandy beaches are all about 30 minutes to 1 hour away, which for the Big Island is fairly close. Restaurants, shopping, all very close. There are alot of small pocket beaches along Alii , but we went to the bigger beaches. Captain Cook is only about 30 minutes(amazing snorkeling). If we ever make it to the Big Island again, we would definitely stay here...good value.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. Very well maintained, clean, and excellently stocked - nothing we needed was missing! Although equipped with A/C, we used the ceiling fans exclusively which kept us very comfortable. We also appreciated the assigned parking stall which removed any issues of fighting for a space! We loved the motion-sensor dim light in the washroom -- great for those trips during the night!! It took us 25-30 minutes to walk up Ali'i Drive to shops, restaurants, farmers marker, etc. which was very do-able and there is a convenience store within 5 minutes for any last minute items/snacks, etc. In fact, the Kona Trolley (line 201) stops at this convenience store which travels as far north as Target (Kona Commons) and as far south as the Keauhou Shopping Center with many stops along the way. We found ourselves walking one way and, if we were too tired, could hop on the trolley back to the condo! I would recommend getting the MOOVIT app on your phone which gives the approximate times of each stop -- we provided this info to several tourists who were most appreciative.
Overall, we would definitely recommend this condo for your stay on the Big Island!

It was a pleasure to be able to offer my Condo to Allan & Iris. I try to offer the best accommodations for the best price and judging by their review they enjoyed everything Kona and Kona Isle & my Condo have to offer.
Aloha! What a great condo in the Kona area for a couple getaway.
Clean and efficient condo in an ideal location. Well equipped with beach equipment, cooler and other items. Updated kitchen appliances. Well maintained grounds and pool area and beachfront with 3 BBQs. We grilled MAHI MAHI two nights and it was delicious. Nice views of the sunset over the ocean. The owner, Mel, was very responsive to our emails and phone calls. Appreciated having an assigned parking spot too. Ground level condo was very quiet. Walk in shower and updated bathroom was nice. Very comfortable bed to come home to after a day at the beach or snorkeling with the dolphins, or visiting a family run Kona coffee farm. Overhead fans were quiet and effective during the day, although we did run the A/C at night. We like to cook our own meals so having a well equipped kitchen was a big plus for us. The washer and dryer were like new as we didn't need to pack as many clothes knowing that we could do the laundry after 3 or 4 days. We would definately like to return to this condo in the future. The big island has so much to explore. Lovely condo in a lovely place. Mahalo.

Nice condo, friendly people, beautiful beach
This is a nice condo. It's obvious that the owners are always looking for things to improve. When you sit on the patio, people come by and make you feel welcome. Also, don't miss the monthly dinners where everyone contributes. In addition, over by the bbq's just before dinner each night there is a lively conversation about any subject you want to talk about. Since half the group is from Canada, it's always interesting to get a different point of view. Did I mention the beach? The beach is terrific. We hardly ever go to the crowded public beach. Believe me, this whole place will spoil you, it did us for the last 8 years Thanks, Mel and Debbie

A lovely little unit! Close to town yet it felt quiet and secluded. Fresh and clean and well set up
I spent a lovely week in this little condo. I was pleasantly surprised how fresh and clean the place was and how spacious and well set up the unit is.
It's obviously a well loved home.
The location was great too. Close to town, yet removed enough to feel that sense of being away from it all. The grounds and beach area are extremely well cared for.
Thanks so much Mel and Debbie! I will keep your details for my next visit.

Return visit was as good as the first time.
Because the was a return visit we were excited to stay in the same unit as we were in before. The owners didn't disappoint us, they had upgraded a few items in the unit which made our stay that much more enjoyable. We love the Big island and are definitely looking to return as soon as we can. Kona Isla is our first choice as we just love the Complex, the Location and our warm memories of all the nice people we have met there during our visits. I would definitely recommend Unit C3 .

Great location, clean and well equipped
We were very happy with this condo! While we didn't spend much time at the condo because we were constantly out exploring the island, it was nice knowing that we had a clean and quiet place to return to after a long day. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler were very much appreciated. The condo is on the south end of the bustling section of Ali'i Drive. It's quiet but still close to restaurants and stores. Beautiful sunset view from the BBQ/ocean front area. We felt very comfortable staying here and we definitely recommend this condo.
