The property manager was more than helpful. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After 6 weeks in Hawaii, we thought it would be tough to leave. Luckily, our last 4 days were spent in this condo, making us very happy to get out of there. Faults include tile baseboard coming loose in kitchen, sour smell throughout the apartment, lumpy pillows, and the vertical blinds were missing many slats. The view consists of a parking lot to the north and the side of the next building to the west. In the future, if I couldn't do better than this place, I would'nt go to Hawaii.

  After one month on the Big Island, we decided to extend our stay at the last minute for 4 days. We quickly booked this condo since the unit we had been staying at was no longer available. This unit had a sour smell throughout it, blinds were missing slats, tile base in the kitchen was coming loose, kitchen sink plumbing was backwards, and the washer only worked with hot water. These are problems that could be fixed if somebody took a little pride in ownership. What can't be fixed is the poor location of this unit, the two views consist of the parking lot or the side of the building in front of it. If you come to the Big Island and this is the unit you stayed at for your visit, you will be missing out. The pictures look much nicer than it actually is.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in this unit for 7 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Kona Maki is a great property and this unit had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. The staff was professional and helpful, especially with arranging a late checkout on departure day. The condo was nicely furnished, well situated close to the ocean and pool, and clean. We will definitely consider staying in this unit again.

The property manager was more than helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Good location and complex, but unit needs some work The complex is in a good location and a relatively easy (approx. 1.5 mi.) walk to town (along the shoulder of the road; bring a flashlight). There’s a lovely ocean view from the complex and the whales frequently put on quite a show right off shore. For what we paid, we didn't expect luxury, and were okay to work around a few problems (and the realities of being an end unit located near the parking area). The unit needs a maintenance tune-up. The owners obviously tried to make it welcoming, but things are falling behind. There was no phone, the kitchen faucet is installed backwards, drapes in the living room and one bedroom don't close properly (no complete privacy), the hot/cold water settings in one shower are reversed, the washer won't do cold water, one of the big mirrored closet doors is off its rails, Wi-Fi is spotty ... and the bugs are having a party in the dishwasher. But in the end, they were all quirks and annoyances that didn’t take anything away from a fabulous holiday.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice complex , but the unit we stayed in needs some renos and repairs. Also there is no ocean view from unit. The upside to this is by not having a view you get some extra privacy.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the third time we have rented at this complex and found it comfortable and secure, the staff are first rate. We were a little disappointed in our unit, although it was clean and comfortable it's a a little dated and could us some updating. Also because of the unit's location [next to the parking lot]it was a bit noisy in the morning, but that said we will stay there again and could & would recommend it for anybody vacationing in Kona.

  Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was more than helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I stayed here for 6 nights with our 2 kids (3 years old and 9 months old). We liked having a first floor unit for getting the kids and groceries in and out easily. We also liked the lanai as it provided a good level of privacy with all the landscaping around it, but still allowed older people walking by to adore and comment on our cute kids. The exterior carpet on the lanai was really rough on our crawling baby’s toes though (took the skin right off one toe after 10 minutes of crawling around), so you should definitely put socks on your baby before letting them crawl around on the lanai. There is no ocean view from the lanai, but it wasn’t a deal killer considering the ocean is a 3 minute walk away. The pool area is not so kid / baby friendly. The pool doesn’t open until 9 AM and that is strictly enforced by the onsite property manager. No kids under 14 are allowed in the hot tub either. Again, this is strictly enforced. There are also signs posted around the pool saying “No babies under 2 years old allowed in the pool”.

Chris of Kona Coast Vacations was very helpful to us, but much needs to be done with the condo unit. If interested, I can provide a list of problems/issues.
