Kona Makai 1-301 DIRECT OCEANFRONT, TOP FLOOR, BEST CORNER IN KONA MAKAI!

Kona Makai #1-301 is arguably the BEST condo in the entire complex! Being the top floor corner in building 1, the location is undeniably too perfect. Private & upgraded, this is direct oceanfront condo living at its finest. You can't get a better view than this at the Kona Makai. The amazing oceanfront wrap around lanai is truly stunning!

The amazing view is not all that this condo has to offer; the elegant finishes and attention to detail can be seen throughout the interior of the property. Enjoy the beautifully upgraded & fully stocked kitchen complete with granite counter tops & stainless steel appliances. The master bedroom has ocean views and access to the wrap around lanai. The guest bedroom also has access to the wrap around lanai and both bedrooms do have AC units allowing for maximum comfort! Both bathrooms have been upgraded and well appointed.

Beautiful Ocean Front Condo
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The wrap around lanai is the most wonderful feature of this property. Our family spent countless hours watching the waves hit the rocks. The condo is well stocked with everything we could need and was clean. It could use a bit of a refresh with paint and linens, but really we came for the view. We would definitely stay again! Thanks for having us!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything in our experience was fabulous. The apartment was very clean, well equipped, enough space for all the family. We absolutely loved the location, with the waves to the feet of the apartment.... Sleeping with the sound of the waves was just incredible. Talking of waves, it’s the only sound we hear, the complex is very quiet. Should we come back to Big island? This apartment is definitely a place we’ll want to rent again!

Wonderful Stay!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The week we spent at Kona Makai 1-301 was wonderful in every way! It was perfect for two couples because of the spaciousness. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. They both have wonderful views with access to the huge lanai. The lanai is what sets this unit apart. We enjoyed breakfast every morning on the lanai & every night we had dinner while viewing amazing sunsets! The location is close to town which we liked also. We contacted the management company a couple times with questions & they responded quickly. We would highly recommend this unit & we hope to return for another wonderful stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I highly recommend staying in this property. We stayed at an ocean front unit. It was memorable experience - you go to sleep and wake up with the sound of waves. The unit was clean and well managed. The air conditioning is enough for Hawaiian property - we actually had to turn it off in August nights as the overhead fan is enough for the temperature. Very comfortable living, and convenient to Kona shopping.

Best Condo in Kona
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit is far and away the best condo in the complex. Beautiful views in all directions. Waves crashing directly below combined with the terrific ocean breezes provide for a tru!y restful vibe. We spent hours on the wrap around Lanai just relaxing and enjoying the views. The unit was fairly well stocked but would have appreciated more daily use items like soap, toilet paper etc being supplied for longer stays. The entire property is meticulously maintained with flowering plants everywhere. The pool and spa are always clean. We were able to go snorkeling without even leaving the property as the rocky area just below is teeming with a large variety of tropical fish. You just need to make sure the ocean conditions are calm enough to keep from being scraped against the rocks.We only had one occasion to contact Knutson with a problem (broken toaster) and they delivered a brand new one to the door within an hour. Excellent and responsive service.It was a terrific experience and we'll be back.

Felt like home with an awesome ocean front view
Breathtaking ocean front view in great location. Super duper large lanai (balcony). Very thoughtful property management with all equipment and stuffs you would need during the stay. We literally felt like home while staying at the condo. Upgraded kitchen and a brand new laundry machine. Well maintained condo with quiet residents. Easy check in and out with clear instructions. Although there wasn’t an elevator, 3rd floor wasn’t so bad for our daily exercise. Parking and building needed to walk a bit but not far. Very laid back environment. We certainly will return to Big Island and will rent again from Knutson and Associates!

Incredible location! You can't get much closer to the ocean. Beds were comfortable and furnishings were adequate but could use a little update. Kitchen well appointed and an abundance of equipment/utensils/cookware. Lots of linens/towels and beach equipment available. Knutson Property Management was impressively prompt and efficient in addressing any minor issues. Overall outstanding experience and I would stay again without hesitation!!

Kona Makai 1-301 has been our favorite vacation rental for years!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I try to get to the Big Island every couple of years because we love how laid-back the people are and the Island is so beautiful. Originally we stayed at a number of different vacation rentals spread over the Island, but when we discovered Kona Makai 1-301, we knew we had found our Big Island home base. This unit is on the top floor, has an unobstructed panoramic view of the ocean, a beautiful vaulted ceiling with large sliding doors that make the most of the tradewinds, is well-furnished with high-end finishes, and the sound of the surf crashing on the lava below is delightful. The property management company is very professional and responsive, so kudos to them as well. Bottom line, when we want a truly relaxing vacation, we go to Kona Makai 1-301.

3 rolls of toilet paper for 3 people for 6 nights is not enough
I emailed and they said that was in the agreement that I signed and if I bought more they would pay for it, however I've never had this issue before with any other properties I've rented
