About this property

Top Floor Cozy Condo Nestled Among Tropical Kailua Kona Treetops

[June 2020: Due to pandemic concerns, we shut down operations April 1 - June 9; the island has "opened up" again, and we are again comfortable hosting Kona guests! Our cleaning person Dianna, best on the big island, is there to make sure our unit is extra clean!]
Tastefully designed and newly upgraded reflecting quality and comfort, this top floor cozy condo is nestled among the tropical treetops, with private lanai and peek-a-boo views of the ocean. My wife and I affectionately call our unit #322 the Kona Dove. It is, in our opinion, one of the more desirable units in the Kona Islander Inn complex; ours is a top-floor unit, away from the traffic noise of Alii drive and Kuakini Highway, but close enough to hear soothing surf sounds at night. Our west-and-south facing lanai has an extra-expansive and open view since our unit is also a corner unit. And my wife Therese is an artist and designer- we keep our unit lovely and clean inside!

Kona Islander Inn studio condo description

This newly upgraded, top floor end unit features:

• Interior artfully designed in hardwood and woven rattan “island style” furnishings, end table, large dresser, café table with two chairs, and an accent chair for additional seating.
• Tropical morning sun pours onto your lanai, where you can sip your smoothie and contemplate your day. We’ve added a new patio table, chairs and pull down sun-shade
• one comfy Queen-size bed.
• Fully equipped kitchenette with brand new microwave, mini refrigerator, coffee maker, blender, electric skillet, cutting boards, dishware, serve-ware and utensils.
• A quality 40” inch flat screen TV with remote and free cable. High speed internet available in reception/lobby area.
• Cozy upgraded bathroom with new modular shower and chrome fixtures with pocket door off of kitchen for privacy, hair dyer and extra towels.
• A lovely bedroom/living area with sliding glass doors that lead out to your private lanai.
• New air conditioner with remote control.
• Spectacular location in the heart of historic Kailua Kona Town, in close proximity to beaches, snorkeling, cafes, shopping, dining and farmer’s produce and artist’s market. Just a few steps through the garden to the pool/Jacuzzi area where there are two gas BBQ grills for your use.

great location. cute apartment

It's on the far side of the complex, which is very good in terms of noise, but for some can be a chore to get to. It's got lots of personal touches all around making it quite unique, the best one being the mood light above the kitchen. Stair access only, so keep that in mind if you have any mobility issues. The complex rules prohibit early check-in including parking, which is a slight annoyance. As per description there's other parking options around, so it's nothing major. It's very close to the shore, shops and restaurants (and even 2 churches next door, if that matters to you).

Great location

We loved our stay. So close to the ocean and just steps away from all the restaurants, convenience stores and specialty shops. We enjoyed coffee on the lanai every morning, seeing and hearing the birds in the flowering trees, and watching cruise ships come and go.The air conditioner worked well and there was also a floor fan which we used at night. We could have our choice of sun and shade as we lounged at the pool which was clean and the perfect temperature to cool down in.For those with mobility issues, there are stairs to climb, as the room is on the third floor.

Chillax at Kona Dove’s Islander Nest

Constant soothing sounds of the ocean, the doves & other birds, the geckos, & Cokie frogs. The smell of plumeria, palms, and all the beautiful flora that surrounds the Doves nest. The human part: beautiful, tropical, beautiful paintings by owner, room to move around, and just enough in the kitchenette to prepare uncomplicated meals & spend more time just enjoying the Island or Chillaxing.

Great Central Location/Fantastic Hosts!

This is a great place to stay if you are into the touristy type of things. My trip was a little different than that. But the highlight of the trip were the hosts. They were very responsive and helped me to feel settled as I waited in the 1.5 hour line to pick up the rental car, which delayed my arrival. They gave me some excellent dinner recommendations, and were so helpful. Mahalo!!

After being in a small hotel room on Honolulu, we had great joy walking into this large space with a sweet kitchen area, and everything you need. It was nice to be able to walk to eat just around the corner, and I was grateful for a laundry room on sight. Everything was explained. by our host prior to arrival which was so helpful

FANTASTIC❣️

From start to finish this experience was wonderful. The communication was thorough and prompt. The room was exactly as it looks online and the location was wonderful. Such a precious, sweet space. I especially loved sitting outside in the morning on the patio watching the sun come up. The price is fair and well with every single penny. We had an amazing time in Kona and look forward to going back.

Cute and convenient

The condo itself was very nicely decorated with unique pieces and touches that made it feel more homey and less hotel like. The location of the condo makes for easy walking to restaurants and shopping along with some beach areas. The condo felt private as the lanai didn’t face any other lanais or high traffic areas, nice peek a boo ocean view. Would highly recommend.

Why they chose this property

Recommended years ago by a dear friend who lives in Kona, we immediately fell in love with this very special property - with its lush tropical gardens, Hawaiian-style charm, unbeatable oceanside location and value! We've been staying here exclusively for years as renters; now as new owners, we are excited to share it with others!

What makes this property unique

Top floor end unit; private lanai with peek-a-view views of the ocean; one comfy queen-size bed; newly renovated; 40' wall-mounted flat-screen TV with cable; peacefully situated within the bustling energy of downtown.
