About this apartment rental

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. The living room has a sleeper sofa as well. This condo truly has everything you'll need to relax in paradise!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: It just doesn't get any better than this for oceanfront ..literally on top of it! Accurate description of convenient location to everything and pool, grounds/gardens are meticulously kept up. You likely won't find any other oceanfront complex with this much beautiful green space. Constant ocean breeze blowing through the unit making it comfortable even on the hottest days. Also constant surf noise which can be very loud at times so bring ear plugs if you need quiet for sleep in the master bedroom. We loved it. Well stocked kitchen, towels and linens. The reservation process and followup was excellent. Property manager was very responsive with any issues. We are returning for a third time next year and would highly recommend without hesitation!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a perfect vacation for us and this condo was a big part of it. It’s really nice with a good sized kitchen and the lanai is huge where we had coffee and relaxation as the waves crashed just below us. The pool area is nice and we took morning walks into Kona.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit needs some updating , rental cost going up year after year , but nothing new in the unit, also bathrooms had a musty smell this year. ( been coming here for years ) Second floor unit directly below was doing renovations, loud banging and drilling sounds, not peaceful.Also not happy about the difficulty of getting a 2 hour earlier check in , unit was vacated the day before, but not cleaned until the day of my arrival and also a last minute repair, both of which could have been done the day before. Response from rental company was : "we have until 4 pm to get the unit ready ", YES, i know that already , but when i asked if i could have early check in , they said they would do their best, so telling me that they have until 4 pm is skirting the issue. Lastly , no consideration for repeat customers.
