About this property

Nicely Renovated. In The Heart of Kailua-Kona, Just Steps From the Ocean.

Hawai’i is open and Kona is more beautiful than ever. We are using CDC cleaning guidelines. Our place has cleaned ductwork AND repaired and wonderfully cool AC. We have purchased new clothes washer and refrigerator. All we are missing is you! 2 Bedrooms and 2Bathrooms, means you and you friends or family will have comfort and privacy. (Sleeps 2-4) Almost everything in this condo is new. The beds are queens, one is pillow top and one is firm and are equipped with luxury high thread count linens. The couch is a queen foldout. There are two full bathrooms, one with a bathtub, for the convenience of your guests. This Condo has a fully equipped kitchen. There are two BBQ decks for grilling. We have snorkeling masks, fins and other beach equipment.
The lanai has a partial view of Kailua Bay and Kona town. The east bedroom has a window with a gorgeous view of Hualalai mountain, if you are an early riser. Great location near the ocean side of the condo but away from the noise of the nightclub/restaurant. One minute walk to the ocean where you can snorkel, fish, surf or swim.
Kona is a paradise for walkers/hikers. You can walk old airport beach and there is a Keiki (kids)swim beach nearby. Every morning you can walk down to the Pier or to several areas where the locals surf. The swim area used for the Ironman Triathlon is right across the street where you can swim the same route they do or just paddle around and look at the fish. SUP is popular and rentable near the pier. The Ahu’ena Heiau of King Kamehameha is on the other side of the Pier and looks as it did when the missionaries first arrived on this Island. There is a recreational and safe beach there also.
The site of this condo is right on the routes of Independence Day and Kamehameha’s birthday parades. It is front and center for the start and finish of the Ironman championship. There are street fairs and musical performances are common on the grounds of the Palace. The Kailua Bay is where King Kamehameha and other Hawaiian royalty chose to retire. You may want to too. In the morning you can see spinner dolphins offshore, and a little bit later you can watch the deep sea fishermen offload, or the cruise ship set off. If you want more civilized activities, the restaurants and clubs are outstanding. The old palace is right across the street where they offer native arts and music as well as tours. You are next door to the first church built in the Hawaiian islands, a beautiful lava stone structure with Koa wood interior. After touring, there is a cooling salt water pool on grounds and covered, secured parking.

The Big island is the best for active vacationers. It has everything from a live volcano to an active truck and rodeo crowd. You can beach bum, snorkel, scuba or zipline and ride horses. You can even go hunting here, deep sea fish, watch the stars from a huge telescope and snow ski down a volcano. The Big Island can be your paradise.

Enjoyable stay in Kona
The property was just as described. The only issue we found was that the floor was not as clean as expected and we found the bottoms of our feet continuously getting dirty. So even though we were asked to not wear shoes in the apartment, we kept a clean pair of sandals in the apt to walk around in. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed the premises. The closeness of the apt to the center of Kona was a treat as we were able to walk to all of our favourite restaurants, stores, attractions.

Excellent location for beaches, shopping and sightseeing
Nice clean and convenient condo for our family group. Kitchen is small but adequate, lanai was a favorite spot for relaxing and the pool a nice break from ocean swimming. Easy walk to the main drag with lots of tourist stuff and decent eateries. Small beach was only a couple blocks away. Open air farmer's market a real plus and the Catholic Church another short walk for Sunday Mass. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable retreat that is an easy drive from airport and a good launching spot for all the sightseeing treats afforded by this beautiful island.

Ideal location in Kailua-kona
The location of this unit can't be beat. You are literally in the middle of everything - cafes, bars, restaurants, historical buildings, beaches. This unit is in an older building, but I found it to be much nicer than the VRBO pictures show. We especially loved the very large lanai. One of the things I hadn't considered before booking this unit is how hot it gets in town. Having mini-splits in the living room and both bedrooms made this unit an oasis to the heat of the late afternoon and early evening. Patti, the owner, is really responsive and caring about your stay here. I can not think of anything negative to say. This place is wonderland in all respects, our stay could not have been better and Patti's place is a great value for the money.

A nice stay in Kona
This is a nice place to stay in a great location. Very close to restaurants, bars, and shopping. A short walk to the bay/pier. There was some initial confuse on the maid service prior to our arrival but we were able to work matters out to everyone’s satisfaction.

Great Location
Very nice condo in perfect location for touring Big Island. While the bedrooms and baths are small, they were perfect because our time was spent touring. We would certainly seek this property on another trip. The hosts were so nice to stay in contact with us.

About the host

Hosted by Patti Merrifield

Host profile image
I live in Colorado and love the Big Island because it has mountains just like home. It also reminds me of my Colorado home because it has opportunities for fun social activities as well as natural unspoiled beauty. I love that Hawaii has both mountains and ocean. I like to be active and there are lots of opportunities for adventure. I can snorkle the beautiful tourquoise ocean or watch a live volcano. No where else could you do both on the same day! My place in Kona has great access, but it is also has all the comforts of my own home. I can refresh, relax and cool off here. Owning this home in Kona on the Big Island is a dream come true.

Why they chose this property

I chose this property because its location is ideal for families and active vacationers who want to experience everything they can. This place includes everything I want out of a vacation. The ocean and town activities nearby are great and I appreciate having air conditioned comfort when I return home. Having a condo in town means that sometimes part of the group can go one place and part can go somewhere else. This is great if I want to go shopping while my friends are out trying to catch giant fish. We love to explore the island, but it's fun to start your day talking to locals over coffee at one of the nearby restaurants. I also love the story of King Kamehameha living out his final days here in Kona and all the historical sites that are associated with that time period.

What makes this property unique

Kona Plaza is just steps away from many activities but this condo is also comfortable to come home to after traveling around the island. I love the covered parking, in Kona it is such a convenience!
