Great ocean front location
We enjoyed our stay at this condo. it was clean, and well stocked with kitchen items, the bed was comfortable, and we loved hearing the ocean waves at night. There is a new 65" TV in the Living Room. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony was watching the waves hitting the lava rocks and reading. There were lots of beach chairs and beach toys which was really nice. This is a second floor unit without an elevator, so that might be a problem for some. The owner is very responsive and helpful when we had questions. We will be back.

Outstanding Condo and Location
We loved our stay at Kona Makai 1-202. It was one of the most well equipped condos we've stayed in and the views of the ocean from the lanai and the bedroom, and sound of the surf, along with the well-groomed garden were a delight. It has everything you'd want.

Jon and Suzanne's property is absolutely magical! The location on the Kona Coast with waves pounding as you sleep, wonderful mornings on the lanai sipping coffee, the close proximity to hiking, snorkeling, beautiful beaches...all make this a favorite!

Even better than it looks!
We knew the view from the lanai was going to be wonderful, but we did not know that we could see & hear the Pacific from the other side of the condo right over our king-size bed. The grounds at this condo building are beautifull and very well maintained. .We enjoyed the pool, chaise lounges with umbrellas, the hot tub, and clean community grills during sunset visits with the neighbors. The condo is well stocked, has a large kitchen and bath, and fantastic beach supplies!
