Cozy comfort meets convenience in this charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo—perfect for a single traveler or couple looking to stay close to all the action. Located just one block from the heart of downtown Kona, you’ll be steps away from oceanfront dining, shopping, the farmers market, and the shoreline itself. Enjoy everything Kona has to offer, then return to your peaceful home-away-from-home.
Inside, you’ll find a relaxing island-inspired space designed for both comfort and function:
Bedroom: Queen bed, ensuite bath, desk for remote work, and ceiling fan
Living Area: Sofa, flat-screen TV with cable, complimentary WiFi, and A/C that cools the entire unit
Kitchen: Fully equipped with oven, stovetop, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and blender—plus a kitchen island with bar seating
Lanai: Step outside to enjoy a tropical breeze and peek-a-boo ocean views while you sip your morning coffee or evening Mai Tai
Guests enjoy access to the community pool, pay-to-use laundry, and assigned parking. The building has an elevator for easy access to this 4th-floor unit.
Please note: The property is located near St. Michael’s Catholic Church, and some church sounds may be heard during your stay.
Whether you’re here to explore Kona’s beaches, snorkel the reefs, or simply unwind in paradise, this central Kona condo is your perfect island base.
We provide complimentary starter essentials including paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, hand soap, and trash bags. We also have an air mattress, pack and play, and high chair available for rent.

Being located near the center of Kona Kailua helped us get settled quickly with easy access to shops and sea front. Kitchen well equipped, good views and no problems whatsoever. A bonus on Sunday morning was hearing familiar beautiful church music on our balcony from the church below
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2024
I stayed for a week in January 2024. Check-in was easy, the instructions were clear, no trouble getting in late at night. The assigned parking place is very close to the elevator. There are a few stairs - four or five - between the elevator and front door of the unit itself on the 4th floor. The layout is comfortable for two people; no bedroom privacy if you were to have an additional guest staying in the living room, as the sliding doors provide incomplete closure, and the hallway is open. The living room furniture is uncomfortable - the day bed/couch has a thin, hard cushion and an unmanageable number of toss pillows we used in an attempt to get comfortable when seated. No other indoor seating is provided except a desk chair and two backless barstools. The bed was comfortable but low to the ground. Ceiling fans were nice to have and the a/c unit was very effective. The kitchen was well equipped - nice sharp knives and a good selection of pots and pans; we cooked most of our breakfasts & dinners at home to minimize expenses. The best part? Breakfast on the lanai (balcony) and watching the sunset from there every evening. Spectacular! True, you don't have ocean-front views - the water is a block away - but you can see & hear the ocean, and you aren't paying ocean-front prices. It was nice to find a couple of beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and snorkeling sets; we did not use them so I am unsure of the condition.

Modest building but clean and well maintained. The apartment had everything you need for a long stay and was perfectly outfitted for us. Neat and tidy. Perfect for active seniors.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2021
The property was ok carpet needs cleaning or replacing but everything else looked like it was updated recently. The unit is not in a good area of town which we didn't know until we got there sort of scary but no problems.
