Kona Coast Resort
What others are saying about Kona Coast Resort condos
Wonderful stay in paradise
Your condo was the perfect place to escape winter and spend a few days with my brother and sister-in-law who drove over from Hilo. The furnishings and artwork created a wonderful Island ambiance, and everything contributed to a high comfort level. The sunset from the upstairs balcony was lovely. We all had plenty of privacy with the 3 bedrooms and the 2 levels, and also plenty of common space to enjoy each others'company. It was a great location for visiting the historic places, coffee farms, art galleries, botanical gardens, and beaches. You are on my list for a future visit, and I highly recommend your condo to anyone looking for an amazing stay on the Big Island.

Just a short note to say thank you for having everything so nice at your condo. You did a great job on the renovation. Our stay at Kona Coast and your unit was outstanding. Jim & Maxine Williamsn Seattle, Wa.

Awesome!
The condo was everything we expected and more. The bathroom updates had a spa like feeling. All the rooms were large and we loved the extra large lanai. We were able to whale watch from the deck and ate every meal outside. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed right down to the cooler we used almost everyday. The kitchen could use an update but still met our needs. We stayed for 2 weeks in this condo with another couple. We talked to some friends who were in the same complex as us but one floor down. He rated their condo 2/10 and ours 9/10.

Family Vacation
The home was exactly as it is pictured on the website. Everything was extremely clean and neat. The amenities within the home were great. We enjoyed breakfast on the Lanai and were able to cook with ease at night when we wanted to (plenty of kettles, pots and pans etc). The location was great. Close enough to grocery, drug stores, yet far enough away from town to provide some quietness. With a family of four including two older children(16 and 23),it was nice to have space to spread out. The resort itself was also very nice. Two swimming pools, hot tubs,and a restaurant. We would definitely rent this condo again.

This is a great Condo in a great convenient location.
As we are residents of Oahu but visit family in Kona often, this is the nicest place we've stayed. Places along ali'i are just too noisy and we loved the quiet of the Condo. Very easy to walk to KTa or Longs for snacks or last minute Christmas Wrap! The Condo is clean, comfortable and well-stocked. Our 14 year old grandson had the loft room upstairs and he loved having his own space! Mahalo for a great stay!
—Kate in Kaneohe (01/03/2012)
Wonderfully pleasing!
The condo was very lovely, in great condition, clean, and decorated tastefully - loved the quiet and of course the views - loved having grandsons visit and use the family pool, eat at pool restaurant, etc. Restaurant staff very friendly, though one of the bartenders happens to be my son-in-law, so there may be a bit of favoritism here!!

Home away from Home, plenty of space and all you could want.
We loved the apartment as there was plenty of space and a bathroom for each bedroom. It did not have aircon, and it was a little warm at Xmas time. The furnishing are from the '80s but that did not bother us as we were very happy and comfortable. the pool/spa were great and we cooked most nights with very well equipped kitchen. Very clean and tidy apartment in lovely quiet position. No Ocean views just golf course views.

Jen from McMinnville, OR on 01/23/2012 said:
“ We have been to Hawaii several times and this was by far the nicest place we have ever stayed. The price was incredible for the condo! Clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. We loved that it was stocked with everything we needed for our stay- guide books, beach towels, coolers, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, boogie boards, snorkels, etc. The pool at the complex was also very nice. It is not walking distance to downtown Kailua-Kona, so you would want to have a rental car. We wanted to go to white sand beaches with our small children, so drove about an hour each day to the Kohala coast. But we are still happy that we stayed where we did- we thought it was a much more authentic Hawaiian experience than staying in a self-contained mega-resort (and more affordable). We enjoyed snorkeling, going to the Place of Refuge, and dining out in Kona. We would return to the Big Island just to stay at this incredible condo again! ”

Easy walk to the main pool/cafe. Not far to drive into Kona. Outdoor bbq was very handy. The a/C system controls took a little getting used to :) but we got it!! The a/C in the twin bed room needed servicing while we were there. That room could use more bedside lighting and extra dresser also. The best part was we felt 'at home' :) ”

“ This was the very first time our family stayed in a privately owned condo, so we were a little apprehensive on arrival: would everything be as perfect and nice as in the pictures? Well: everything was! Fred and Bonnie have created a lovely home away from home for you. The condo is very well equipped, you can find everything you need for a family there: lovely big kitchen, pool-playthings, washer and dryer etc. The condo is light and spacious, and though they have added lots of personal touches, it felt like ours within minutes (our son started laying out the table within the first 15 minutes because he found it so cosy...). The resort was very quiet when we were there, so that meant enough space in the pool. We recommend prebooking the airco in summer, we were glad we did! Communication about booking/checking in was very good: mails with deatils about pay, checking in, and questions were quick and clear. For us it was the holiday of a lifetime! ”

“ This condo was great! The accomendations were plesently better than expected. We stayed 6 nights and then were going to Hilo for the last 3 nights. That other place was so bad that we contacted 7-106 and asked if we could come back for our last 2 nights and they accommendated us. What great service! We mentioned a couple things that needed attention when we left and they were already fixed when we returned. We couldn't have been more pleased. The pool is conveinently located right across the parking lot. The condo listing does give the impression a garage is available for use but isn't. Be sure to opt for the a/C because hi is humid and warm. Each room has its own a/C with its own controls which is awesome! The patio and dining set is different and better than pictured. I hope we get the opportunity to come back! ”

Great value for a group
Overall rating:
Jim W from Glendale, CA on 07/15/2011 said:
“ With 3 bedrooms (+ sofabed), kitchen, laundry, pool toys, and local interest books, this is definitely a better value than 3 hotel rooms. The condo is across the street from a pool, near the most popular snorkel beach, and not in the frenzy of downtown Kailua-Kona. The partial ocean view included the setting sun framed by palm fronds. It is well-situated for exploring the Kona coffee farms or bypassing downtown to get souvenirs & gas at Costco. The owners were very helpful and are justly proud of the art on their walls. We usually ate breakfast in including Kona coffee and farmers'-market fruit. (Mangoes have more flesh than on the mainland, and tiny apple bananas are a delicious 3-bite snack.) If we didn't want to go to a restaurant, we could get take-out from L&L; Hawaiian fastfood in the shopping center across the highway. (Also has supermarket, drugstore, & cinema.) The price does no include A/C, but the local manager can provide access if needed. ”
Manager response:
“ We thank Jim W for those very kind comments. We would add to his comment a small correction in that the A/C charge is currently $15/day and that the A/C can be turned on at anytime during a stay by contacting our local manager.
Fred & Bonnie. Owners, Kona Coast Resort 7-106 ”

My husband and I stayed took our Moms, one who had been to Oahu before and the other had never been to Hawaii. The condo is beautifully decorated/furnished and maintained, and very well stocked with everything you could possibly need for an island stay. We appreciated the ice chests, beach equipment (towels, boogie boards, umbrellas, etc.), books, herbs/spices and ktichen equipment. The complex is very quiet and well maintained. The quiet pool and a hot tub is just stone's throw away. My husband and I enjoy snorkeling and visited Kahalu'u Beach Park, which is less than 5 minutes away, several times. It's a great snorkeling spot! A grocery store, Longs and restaurants are close by in the Keauhou Shopping Center. We enjoyed a great meal at Kenichi Pacific (sushi & Japanese fusion cuisine) there. Overall, our favorite thing about the condo was the privacy and quiet feel. I honestly can't think of a single negative thing about it. If you choose this condo you will not be dissapointed!! We will definately stay there again the next time we visit the Big Island. (We are planning a visit to Maui next year for our 20th anniversary and wish Fred & Bonnie had a condo there as well!!) ”

We took great pictures of the magnificent Hawaiian sunsets from the upstairs lanai. Three fresh fish meals were prepared (mahi mahi and ono we caught deep sea fishing) in their well stocked kitchen. We ate breakfast every morning on the lovely lanai and relaxed here many evenings. We would definitely recommend this fabulous condo to our friends and family. ”

Pat from Hutchinson, MN on 03/25/2010 said:
“ Four of our family members stayed in Fred & Bonnie's beautiful condo for 9 days in early March 2010. It made our trip truly delightful. The rental process and securing our key was a snap. The condo is spacious, convenient, very well stocked, comfortable and what we all considered having the "true Aloha" feeling. We spent as much time on the large lanai as in the house...coffee & tea in the morning, reading, relaxing & listening to music and cocktails in the evening. The artwork and decorations added an authentic spirit of old and new Hawaii. Having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was an added luxury we all enjoyed and the rental rate was the best bargain I have experienced in many, many years! As you may be gathering, there was nothing left wanting in any way...we even had partial views of the ocean; what more could anyone ask for. Thank you Fred and Bonnie for making our long awaited trip an absolute joy! ”

This condo is hands-down the nicest place we have ever stayed

Winter Escapees from Ann Arbor, Michigan on 03/20/2010 said:
“ This huge, beautiful, spacious condominium was truly one of the main highlights of our trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. We have been to Kauai and Maui before, and many other places in Australia, Europe, Canada, and the U.S., but this was the nicest place the four of us have stayed, particularly as we prefer to make most of our own meals, and also like the privacy of a condo rental as compared to a hotel. The rooms are large and comfortable; the kitchen and the rest of the condo have about every amenity one can imagine; it is very clean; the bathrooms are large and beautifully updated; it is tastefully decorated with local artwork displayed throughout; and there is a large porch or lanai (where we would take breakfast at dawn), that has a great view of the ocean and the perfectly maintained gardens at the Kona Coast Resort. The facility is close to, but not inside, the city of Kailua-Kona, and has nearby shopping available. This location also provides an excellent base for visiting the many attractions and activities up and down the western coast of the Big Island. (Where there always seems to be a sunny spot to find, if you look for it. We like to visit beaches and take 2-4 hour hikes.) I don't think we could have asked for a nicer location or facility. You can't go wrong here. In addition, the local representative was very helpful with our getting situated upon our arrival. Both he and the owners were also very helpful, understanding and considerate on the morning of our checkout, when we were jolted out of bed at 5 or 6 AM by tsunami warning sirens, following the earthquake in Chile the day before. They offered the possibility for us to stay over if need be, should the tsunami create a disaster, or make it impossible to take our flight later that day. While we waited and watched with thousands of others for 'the big wave', in the end it never materialized, and we went on our way as planned. Nevertheless, we greatly appreciated this act of thoughtfulness. ”

“ This condo has everything you could possibly need or want on a vacation. If you like to have the option to stay in and cook, the kitchen has every essential you can think of and then some (there is also a grill right outside). All the conveniences of home with a Hawaiian twist. There is a GORGEOUS lanai (outdoor patio) with a table for sharing meals and conversation - complete with tiki lights for the ultimate Hawaiian feel. There is a full grocery store within minutes and at least two local markets right nearby as well where you can get fresh fruits, vegetables etc. If you like to go out, there are plenty of restaurants close by and the owners even have a book of restaurant recommendations and descriptions (along with things to do, etc). The condo is centrally located in Kona yet the grounds are lush, peaceful and tropical. It's situated on a golf course on the water with impeccable grounds. There are several swiming pools and they are never crowded. Perfect for families or couples looking for peace and quiet since there are several options to pick from on the property. I can't think of a single negative thing about our stay except it wasn't nearly long enough! I would higly recommend this condo. It's gorgeous, it's clean, it's comfortable. It's the perfect Hawaiian get-a-way. ”

We came at 11 pm after a 15 hour flight and wasted 2 hrs in the dark looking to buy milk and cereal for the kids for breakfast in the morning. For a fee may be you could do some basic shopping for late arrivals as we were? The entire resort was very quiet and very well organized. Will recommend without hesitation. ”

We appreciated the beach "toys" and supplies that were furnished and we enjoyed our days snorkeling at the nearby beach. Almost daily were were in the swimming pool which was right next door and enjoyed the privacy since very few people used the pool and hot tub there. The setting is very quiet and private. We look forward to joining our friends there again.....we highly recommend this condo as your home away from home in Hawaii. ”

Michigan vacationer from Ann Arbor, Michigan on 01/21/2010 said:
“ While there is additional sleeping arrangements that would be adequate for children, the three full bedrooms with adjoining baths perfectly accommodated the three adult couples sharing the unit. Although the resort does not have it's own beach, a very short walk away there is an incredible lagoon perfect for sunbathing, swimming and snorkeling and the pool directly across the drive from the condo became a regular evening retreat. The little touches of artwork and outstanding added amenities beyond the norm provided by the owners made wine & cheese on the lanai following our dips in the pool into delightful evening events. Unobstructed views of breathtaking sunsets and active blow holes are another short walk from the condo. The resort is beyond a comfortable walking distance from Kona, so a car is useful if one wishes to utilize the shops and restaurants. The owners left directions to a number of their favorite places on the island - which turned into some of our favorites as well. ”

The whole atmosphere of the condo itself made it feel more like coming home than coming to a rental -- except better. Good taste! You have obviously put a lot of thought to making your guests comfortable and our stay rewarding. As others have mentioned, your very personal "guide books" to the island were a big help in finding things we might otherwise have missed. We also loved having both a snorkeling beach and a good supermarket in easy walking distance (but not so close as to cause us any traffic). ”

Manager response:
“ Bonnie and I are concerned that cleanliness got a lower rating, although it is mentioned by the guest that the unit was clean.
If there is one thing we pride ourselves on, it is the quality of the cleaning service that we have retained. Perhaps this was a lapse so we have forwarded the rating comment to the cleaning staff. We note that all prior reviews give 5 stars to cleanliness.
We are also pleased that the leak was quickly repaired. Breakdowns happen in any home and we are lucky to have a wonderful on-site manager to take care of problems.
Bonnie and I agree with the Alberda family that (whenever we visit this Hawaii home of ours) we think, wow this place is awesome. A refuge of quiet tropical comfort.

“ Our two small families of three (parents and 2 college-aged daughters) were very comfortable in this 3 bedrm/3bth condo. Every morning, we enjoyed the comfortable covered patio for coffee and breakfast, listening to the birds and ocean. In the evenings, we would end up in those same comfortable patio chairs again, discussing our day. Very quiet resort. Seldom heard the neighbors. We would definitely stay here again. Reservation and arrival process: Very easy and efficient. They acknowledged the deposit and subsequent payment with plenty of detail in the statement. Prompt reply to our email asking questions. They provided excellent directions from the airport. Not hard to find and check-in was a breeze. The condo: Very clean, well-maintained, fresh, and modern. Lots of windows and light. Beautiful art and nice furniture. Ceiling fans in all rooms. It is a fully equipped home--linens, towels, kitchen appliances, dishes & utensils, washer/dryer, tv, stereo, CDs, books, games, and beach toys. Truly, all you need to bring is your clothes and food! (There is a supermarket and drug store less than 5 minute away.) It took only a moment to figure out the a/c controls in each living area. There is a community gas grill just a few steps away. Resort: The girls enjoyed the pools. We did not use other facilities, but the golf course looked great and we heard good things about the restaurant. Location: On the west side of the island, so it is a bit of a drive southeastward to the volcano national park, or northward to a bay we wanted to visit for swimming. The condo is just a 10 minutes to a cluster of other resort hotels, some of which offer luaus. Negatives: Hard to find any negative. Condo parking was a tad awkward, but near the front door. A disabled person could use the first floor bdrm/bath & kitchen, but would have difficulty with split level first floor to the patio & living rm, and of course, stairs to second floor. The area roads are good, but traffic stacks up. ”

We enjoyed setting on the lanai drinking our morning coffee, while watching all the birds, looking at the beautiful flowers and green golf course.Loved the pool, and restaurant area with the ocean view! The location is great, close to the shopping center which is great fun to take a stroll through on a cool evening.Hope to come back some time soon! Thank you for a great relaxing vacation! ”

“ We always bring our daughter and our granddaughter from the mainland to Hawaii, where we live, every year. And we always drive over to Kona for a mini-vacation so our granddaughter can get her fill of swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and boogie-boarding. We usually stay in an ocean-front unit but this time, in order to save some money, stayed in this unit at the Kona Coast Resort. We didn't have a view of the ocean from our lanai but it didn't matter. The swimming pool with its great casual restaurant and bar was a block away, the shopping center was a block from the resort, Kailua's best snorkel beach was a half mile away and the boogie boarding was a couple of miles away. The unit, quite modern and new, was well-appointed, spacious and immaculate. We were still finding neat things in cupboards and closets on our last day. The twin lanais overlooking the fairway were very private and much-used. Being at ground level was a plus in not having to lug suitcases and coolers up the stairs. We did not need the staff but the few we passed were friendly and courteous. One chauffered us to the pool in his golf cart when we didn't know where it was. We would stay there again. ”

We were able to whale watch from the deck and ate every meal outside. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed right down to the cooler we used almost everyday. The kitchen could use an update but still met our needs. We stayed for 2 weeks in this condo with another couple. We talked to some friends who were in the same complex as us but one floor down. He rated their condo 2/10 and ours 9/10. ”

We look forward to your return trip to the Big Island and our condo so that you can completely enjoy your next stay. Mahalo for your understanding of the unforeseen delay the owners above incurred as they were to have completed in October. As with most renovations it takes longer and usually more funds than one plans on. We hope the owners above have now completed their renovations as they are due to move in at the end of November.

Happy Traveler from Sherwood, OR on 03/12/2011 said:
“ We thought the Condo was very wonderful, well decorated, clean and roomy. It exceeded what were were expecting. We were expecially appreciative of the extra spices and kitchen things that normally are missing from previous rentals . The only thing lacking was extra linens for the living room bed. We had reserved the condo for three people and required three beds (one of the reasons we chose a sleep 6 condo). Our third guest lived in the islands and had brought a sleeping bag just by chance so we were OK, but would have preferred that there had been lines for his bed. There was also more traffic noise than we had anticipated from the resort ”
Manager response:
“ Aloha Geraldine Hankins,
Were pleased to hear that our condo 10-201 at Kona Coast Resort exceeded your expectations and everything worked out well during your 4 night stay with us. I wish we could have assisted you and certainly would have preferred it, had we been informed of your need of a third bed. The condo was rented for 2 beds only (a King & a Queen size) sleeps 4 guests and we do offer a sofa-sleeper for (2 additional guests) for an additional fee as stated in the Policies and Web Page. Please in the future when booking make the owner aware of your intent of use of property as it will make for your stay more complete and no surprises for anyone. Kona Coast Resort is a large property with 2 pools, Jacuzzis, Tennis Courts, Restaurant, workout room, activities center and many services for our guests and can be very busy at times. We hope you enjoyed some of the many amenities that it offered you.

“ This was by far the best condo we have EVER stayed in. The owners provided all the necessary information a few weeks prior to the trip and then contacted us a couple of days before arrival to make sure we had all the information we needed. Directions were easy to follow and the coded lockbox ensured it was easy to get in and we never locked ourselves out. The condo itself was beautifully constructed, furnished and decorated, with pictures and art work that gave it a warm, welcoming feel. Although the entire condo was woonderful, the bathrooms deserve special mention. Spacious layouts, beutiful tile work and the rolled river rock floors int he showers are a great touch! The kitchen was a delight with Island-themed dishes and every cooking utensil imaginable. We hosted a number of dinner parties for local friends and all were very impressed with how at home they felt there. They were also envious of the spectacular sunsets they enjoyed from the dining room and the lanai. The condo stayed pleasantly cool with its' East to West exposure capturing breezes off the ocean ( I swear best location in the whole complex). In the mornings we watched whales breaching and every evening we watched the sunset from the lanai before firing up the bar-b-que for dinner. Although we were on vacation, we have 24/7 type jobs so the wireless connectivity allowed us to check in and avert an insurmountable amount of e-mails upon our return to reality. The resort property had two lovely pools, three hot tubs, two tennis courts, and a small workout facility. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The grocery and drug stores were a five minute walk and Kahalu'u Beach with its' friendly fish and abundance of sea turtles was a 10 minute walk. Kona town is a 10 minute drive. Despite the convenient location, the condo was incredibly quiet with no noise from Ali'i Drive. There is nothing I would change about this condo or the location. It was perfect! ”

“ We had a great week in Kona with two small children. The unit was spacious and roomy with a full kitchen to cater to most family needs. Conveniently located close to the gate of the complex, but no noise of traffic. The sunset from the Lanai is quite a sight, and makes you feel as though you own a piece of paradise, for a modest price. Keauhou is a nice quiet location, just the right distance from Kailua so that you don't feel too secluded, but have the luxury of silence at night at the same time. Groceries and daily necessities are just across the street at the Keauhou Shopping center, where you can just about find anything you may want during a one week vacation. A 10 minute jog down to the beach is great getting down, but the hill climb up can be a challenge if you jog too far down Ali'i drive. Overall, it's good fun for the kids and family. ”

KTA, local grocery store, and Longs are located within walking distance to the property. Kahulu'u is the closest beach with great snorkeling. We visited in April, so eventhough there wasn't any air conditioning, the ceiling fans provided adequate air circulation. There's a pool that's great for little ones and you can get towels there.

Close enough to grocery, drug stores, yet far enough away from town to provide some quietness. With a family of four including two older children(16 and 23),it was nice to have space to spread out.

The view is fantastic and visible from the living room and dinning room as well as the lanai. There was an initial problem with one of the ac units, but it was quickly resolved and we found little need for a/c. Just opened the window in the kitchen and the door and let the breezes flow through sliding glass doors to the lanai. The condo was clean, and nicely appointed. The proximity to downtown Kona is a big plus. We had a very pleasant stay and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The pictures are very accurate in depicting the inside, but don't do the view justice! ”

The bad: await room to be ready for 1 hour and 15 min until 4:50PM local time, cleaning charge too high, AC units are too noisy, loft is too warm to be cool down in a hot summer, and TV sets & stereo systems are outdated.

On our way to Shanghai from Akron on 07/21/2010 said:
“ 10-304 of Kona Coast Resorts is close to the ocean, snorkeling, and the shopping complex to get your necessities/food and some dining. Probably the best part of the condo is the views. It was a pleasant surprise to have items like bedding, cleaning supplies, TP, etc included in the condo- thank you!! Couldn't easily travel with that from the continental us like we do when staying on the mainland. I say this vacation home is probably better for one couple for 2 reasons- the air conditioning does nothing for the upstairs loft. So unless you like it hot, or are traveling in a cooler season, you probably don't want to sleep up there. The other reason I suggest that children not occupy this house has to do with the downstairs neighbor. She found us right away after arrival to tell us to make sure our children walked softly because of the tile floors. So, we spent an entire week telling our children to whisper and to tiptoe around (one of our son's walks like an elephant). ”

The condo has an upgraded kitchen with marble counters and new appliances, very easy to get around for cooking. A small wet bar area at the end of the kitchen is ideal for breakfast or to have an evening drink. The large main bathroom has a clear tile-block shower enclosure and double sinks layed in marble. The modernize kitchen, tile floors throughout and Hawaiian decor made it a relaxing place to stay. The ocean view across the golf course is spectacular. Watching from the condo deck or walking 1 block to the ocean front cliffs to watch the sunset is a nightly ritual. We highly recommend the stay for 2 or 4 people since this is a 2 bedroom 2 bath condominium. Aloha, Dennis ”

The only one minor issue was that there is no direct access to a beach from the condo complex, at least not one that we could find. This was not a huge issue as we were able to find other beaches close by. The pool area was nice as was the bar, a little spendy, but we expected this. Overall, we had a great time and will never stay in a hotel on a vacation again. This was our most relaxing, fun filled vacation we have ever had. We will stay here again for sure. ”

I understand that it was updated - the owners did a nice job with the kitchen and bathrooms. The furnishing are nice although they show some wear. All in all it was quite comfortable. We did not use the AC, but I can see where you might need it. Most of the time there were great ocean breezes with all the windows open, except for the upstairs (kids bedroom/loft). The owners provided 3 moveable fans which helped a lot. We had our own internet service so can't comment about service through the Resort. We liked the resort location. It is about 30 minutes to nice sandy beaches like Hapuna, but there are plenty of things to do locally, so you won't get bored. It is a quiter location than in town and not as lush as the large resorts, but it was a good home base. The grocery store is across the street which is really helpful. We cooked and ate on the lanae a lot. The pools are nice and we ate at the poolside restaurant a couple of times. Food was pretty good and fairly reasonably priced. A nice way to spend the evening with the kids in the pool. ”

The owner was extremely responsive to any questions we had before we went and really seemed to care that we throughly enjoy our stay at his obviously well loved vacation get away. And that we did. ”

They were working on the stairway and walk ways on week days. Workers were very nioe, but we had to listen to hammers and saws, which took away from our peaceful retreat.

We found the standard of the condo to be excellent with the necessary amenities. However and being only two, we did not take full advantage of what the condo had to offer. Nevertheless, the location, the spaciousness, the view, the proximity to shopping, etc all added to an enjoyable experience. If we find ourselves back in Koan again next year, we will certainly look to stay at Kona Coast Resort again. Thanks. ”

We very much enjoyed our stay! I have nothing bad to say about our experience. The best beach I have ever seen is Hapuna Beach. It's a 45 minute drive away (there is really nothing that it is close to) with turquoise waters and white sand beaches. Google it, then GO! Also did Volcano National Park (3 hours away) [1.5 out of 5 stars], Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens (2 hours away)[3.5 out of 5 stars] (take mosquito spray), and the Southernmost point in the US [1/2 star out of 5]. We had 5 nights and that proved enough time to see everything we wanted to. Again, highly recommend staying at this condo! ”

Whether cooking in the spacious fully-equipped kitchen, lounging on the huge lanai or catching up on your favoriate TV program in the livingroom, master bedroom or loft bedroom (equipped with two huge bathrooms), this unit is well worth the stay. If you don't wish to travel the 4 mins north to Kaliua-Kona (but don't miss the great pier, shops, restaurants and spectacular lu'au), you're only a stone's throw away from a convenient outdoor shopping center, where you can find a huge grocery store, drugstore, shops, restaurants, and even a movie theater. I've been to the Big Island at least 10 times,and Unit 10-304 is by far the most attrative, well-maintained owner's unit ever. The surrounding grounds are quiet and very clean, with lots of activities to choose from including shuffleboard, tennis, volleball, baskteball, swimming...there's also an activities desk on premise to help you plan your day.

Manager response:
“ All of the condos on our website can be rented Real-Time via our website (www.alohacondos.com) and don't require sending emails or calling anybody to rent. We don't want potential guests to have to wait for a response in order to book their stay.
This guest had called me to ask for a discount and I passed along this information to the owner - Jim Weinand. Jim never contacted the guest because of a problem that occurred during the guest's previous stay.
During their previous stay this customer violated the non-smoking policy and smoked heavily in the unit. After their departure the cleaning team went to considerable effort and additional expense to properly clean the unit for our next guests. The owners will not rent to this guest again.

We kept the door closed after that. We enjoyed the island breezes coming in from all the windows but the noise outside every morning from the condo maintenance people was rather annoying. Over all, we very much enjoyed staying here! ”

We have spent several vacations in various units of the Kona coast resort and this was the loveliest setting of them all. I would say that this unit is extremely well set up for four adults. All in all, a very pleasant place to spend a week or a month! ”

We stepped through the front door of our condo, and we felt like we were home. There was a fruit basket waiting for us with island fruits and cookies. The view of the ocean and the wonderfully furnished living/dinning room was a surprise. Every detail was set up for our comfort. The bed was more comfortable than any of the hotel or timeshare beds we have slept in. Every amenity for enjoying your stay is there, including beach hats and chairs, beach toys, stereo and flat screen television, wi fi, and every possible kitchen appliance and tool that you would need. The lanai has a bbq and comfortable furniture. We hardly left the place. It is a great place to kick back and relax. The condo has a very large lanai that looks down to the quiet pool. There is a spectacular view of the ocean looking over red tile roofs of the resort. The view of the mountains in back of the condo is also beautiful. We did not notice any street noise. The condo is a very short walk to the rocks and ocean front, a restaurant on site and a second pool area. There is a half mile easy walk to a sandy beach. There is a large and well equipped market two blocks away and at least five restaurants in that center. We will stay here often, and we expect to return in the fall of 2011. ”

“ We stayed at this unit for 10 days in January 2011. We found the unit clean and welcoming when we arrived late the first night. The front door was a bit tricky to open initially but no problem once you got the hang of it. The location of the unit was great both in relation to downtown Kona and to access the main road north or south on the Big Island . We found the bed very comfortable and the bedroom clean/not fancy, in general. The bathroom was also clean , the shower huge and all the towels and linens available as promised. We did have a small problem with the toilet cistern not filling after flushing, 3/4 of the way through our stay . We notified the owners who responded immediately to us regarding our problem. We were satisfied with their responsiveness. The "clinching" reason we will return is the absolutely amazing lanai with lanai doors that open to that great Kona coast breeze . To sum it up, the unit/complex is not brand new but tidy and fairly well cared for in general. The owners were responsive. The lanai was great! I would recommend the unit to friends. ”

Pretty much everything you need is there, a well stocked kitchen, beach towels, hats for the beach, a DVD player with Dvds and even a cooler to pack lunch on those days you want to explore. The location is within walking distance of a theater, restaurant, grocery and other shopping. The unit is older, but the price reflects that. One negative is the traffic on alii drive can by noisy so we needed to keep the bedroom windows closed. There are plenty of fans to keep you cool. We hated to leave! ”

“ The Edwards condo in the Kona Coast Resort is ideally situated above the adult quiet pool with the lanai facing west toward the ocean. It is a 3rd floor condo but the way the building is laid out, only requires that you walk up 1 set of stairs to get to there. You can watch the sunset from the lanai and take beautiful pictures from there. The interior is very nicely laid out and beautifully decorated with island themed lamps and wall hangings. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. The bedroom is very large with plenty of storage space and is very quiet for sleeping. The bathroom is huge with a very large shower and double vanity. The living and dining room span the entire west side with sliding doors the whole way opening to the lanai. Very comfortable furniture - the lounge chair is especially cozy! The lanai has a nice large dining table and we found that we never ate indoors because the weather was perfect for all meals outside on the lanai. The unit ha d wireless internet so we were both able to work and stay connected with friends and family through Skype. The east/west/north windows and doors along with fans in the bedroom, living room and dining room kept a constant fresh breeze moving through and eliminated any need for air conditioning. We had one maintenance issue that was immediately handled by the Edwards' on island manager alan Wilson. The Edwards followed up to make sure the issue was addressed to our satisfaction ensuring that in the unlikely event anything does go wrong, it is fixed right away without impacting their guests in any way. Well done! This is a truly wonderful unit in an excellent property. I would highly recommend this unit for anyone planning a trip to the Big Island. ”

Sandy beaches are just down alii drive with gentle coves for snorkeling, lifeguards, bath house, shower, family style beach location..more adventuresome waters are not far away either. A basket of fresh fruit was waiting when we arrived..this unit was by far the best, Many bath towels and assorted goodies, beach towels, snorkeling gear, sun lotion, kitchen touches like cooking spices, foil, baggies, a beach bag, hair dryer, and just dozens of little things that you often forget to bring. Dishwasher with soap, disposal, microwave, refrig with ice maker & water in the door, laundry with supplies off kitchen, plenty of closets extra hangers, many dishes pots and pans, cooler for beach, you get the idea. Huge shower, two bathroom sinks...very nice bed, two TVs, dvd, video, wireless in the unit, nice "quiet" pool below for adult relaxation...larger "splash" pool for families was down by the restaurant and offices. Tennis courts. Nearby supermarket, drug store, pizza place, sports bar, sub shop, movie theater...this was just an ideal location...very friendly workers and folks staffing the entry gate.

Points for that...But, between the door knob lock and stuck key,(even security had problems opening the door) the toilet tank malfunction (from day one), and the terribly stained bed pillows (which I discovered after stripping the bed upon leaving...) I would not recommend this unit. The bedroom is also very noisy at night from car traffic on alii Drive. My fault for not researching that point more. ”

Our front door is a heavy door with a simple lock and key entry. Our local contact makes sure all keys function properly before each guest arrives. Our local contact made several trips during this guests stay to ensure the key and lock were working at all times. Each time the key and lock worked properly.
The guts of the toilet were replaced a few months ago. There have been a couple of issues with the installation which have been promptly dealt with.
We were unaware there was an issue with the bed pillows. All bed pillows have been replaced.
Our condo is located at the highest point in the resort, but far enough away from Alii Drive to avoid noise from car traffic.
Our condo is a spacious, well kept and updated condo with panoramic ocean views. Our cleaning crew does an excellent job keeping the condo clean and fresh for each guest.
