About this property

Real Ocean Front! Private and well maintained! 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.

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 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 (convertible to a king bed if needed), 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, Network Printer, DVD player, CD player, radio, movies, books, games and an excellent Big Island guide book.

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

Great apartment, it had everything we wanted and needed.
Very well kept apartment, lots of room for 3- 4 adults. Very comfortable and 15 minute walk into the main town. No air-con but that was no issue with ceiling fans and nice morning and afternoon breezes on the lanai. Very quiet throughout the day and night and the sound of the sea can be heard 24/7.

Wonderful view
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!

Very nice place with a great view of the ocean. Did see whales from the balcony. Vert well appointed - chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, coolers, as well as a well-stocked kitchen. Clean and comfortable. No air conditioning but cools off with the windows open. Close to all the restaurants and shops. Highly recommend this condo.

great place to stay
Stayed at this condo for 12 days with my daughter and my best friend. Location was great. Lovely view out of the lanai, especially for sunset. Could see whales from the lanai as well. Loved the convenience of the reserved parking spot. Condo was very comfortable and well stocked for the kitchen and for the beach. (Was there a pizza pan somewhere we couldn't find?) Only thing we had to buy was more TP. There were very few washclothes for showering, but we always bring extra in case of this. It's made very clear in the listing that there is no elevator and no AC. The breezes keep the place cool and the no elevator wasn't an issue (except when bringing our luggage up on arrival.) :) We would definitely stay here again.

Great location and well-equipped condo
We enjoyed our 5-night stay in Ali'i Villas. The location provides easy driving or walking access to Kona and it's a great location for traveling south. The complex is quiet and the unit had a well-equipped kitchen and loads of water toys (snorkel sets, pool noodles, coolers, boogie boards, beach towels, and chairs). The lanai was a relaxing place for meals or watching the tide. The washer/dryer worked great. The bedroom with twin beds has louvered glass windows, so it was not as quiet as the main bedroom, but the only sound was the crashing waves. The snorkeling was great next to the Pu'uhonua o Honanaunau Park and at Kahalu'u Beach Park; there was a wide variety of fish at both locations. The surf was too rough to snorkel off Napo'apo'o Beach, but the drive there was gorgeous.

Wonderful Oceanfront Condo
I love Alii Villas and have stayed at more than one condo over the years. This was a well appointed condo with a fantastic lanai right on the waters edge. I stayed there by myself for 2-3 weeks and was very comfortable and content and had everything I needed nearby. In addition, they had great supplies for the kitchen, cleaning and laundry and it was very convenient. My husband and teenage daughter joined for 2 weeks and had a blast. The boogie boards and snorkeling equipment in their "activity closet" went a long way for the teenager and my husband loved the place. Very clean and nicely decorated. High recommendation! Very gracious and accommodating host. Thank you!

Too hot to handle
Location was amazing, ocean view is incredible. Unit was clean, beach accessories were provided. HOWEVER, the mentioned trade winds and fans provided were NOT adequate for Konas heat. The unit reached 80 degrees inside without much wind flow. Using the high powered fan took away from the ability to hear the ocean waves which was one of the reasons why we picked this unit. Overall if your ok with sweating while you sleep, you’ll enjoy this unit. Yes, we did see that there was no AC when booked, but we have stayed on other islands where trade winds did keep us cool at night. But with the angle of the unit, it seemed like it blocked a lot of the wind coming off the ocean.

Wonderful Relaxing Vacation Condo
We loved our stay! The condo was clean and comfortable with nice appliances and well-stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards and more. The condo complex is older but the grounds are impeccably maintained with beautiful and fragrant plantings. There are nice clean barbecues at the pool area. We loved hanging out and enjoying meals on our lanai with its spectacular ocean view.

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 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 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.
