Aloha and Mahalo for visiting our site!

We recognize that these are hard economic times.

We are ordinary people, retired and very fortunate to own such a beautiful condo. In these tough times we feel it necessary to lower our rates, for your sake and ours. So take a look, we are extremely proud of our unit and the beautiful grounds of KONA ISLE. With these lowered prices we truly believe this is one of the best values on the Big Island. Guests who have stayed with us have loved the location, the cleanliness and the special attention to detail with which we have outfitted our unit. (Look at the 'guest comments' section, the 'tab' is just above this section.)

We take great pride in our unit. With 10 years experience of owning a condo in Hawaii, we believe we have found the perfect combination of all that Hawaii has to offer. It is important to us to provide a very clean, quiet on-the-ocean holiday experience.

Our small (75 unit) complex caters to those who would like to enjoy serenity, a sparkling clean HEATED pool to swim in, beach side BBQing using BBQs that are cleaned daily, awesome sunsets and yet close to the heart of the Kona vacation experience. I emphasize heated because it is important: most pools go unused in Hawaii. From our experience many visitors tour most of the day and tend to enjoy a relaxing swim in the early evening hours. There is nothing like the experience of lying back in a heated pool and looking up at the moon through palm trees! That is tranquility!

We proudly offer it newly refurbished with a Hawaiian decor and all the amenities you should need for your vacation. We listen very carefully to our guests and make changes and improvements on our twice a year visit. In the early fall of 2009 we will re-carpet the unit and replace the dishwasher with a very quiet model. You are important to us... so we have done all we can to make your vacation a very special one.

Mahalo for visiting our site. May you enjoy your Hawaiian holiday where ever you choose to stay!

Rod and Delana

Why the Owner Chose Kona Isle

Kona boasts the least rainfall in the state!

There is so much to see and do: from volcanoes to lava heated pools. You can circumnavigate the Island in just over 4 hours including a picnic on a beach near Hilo, the midway point!

The Big Island has it all and the true Aloha spirit prevails.

The Unique Benefits at this Condominium

Because Kona Isle is a small "boutique" 74 unit development with only one bedroom units, neither the pool or BBQ areas are crowded. The BBQ and pool are situated beside the water rather than between the buildings. The result: it is particularly appealing to those who want a quiet and restful holiday. A nightly feature is to BBQ (so close to the water that sometimes you can feel the spray) and then enjoy dining RIGHT AT THE WATER'S EDGE!

 

Owner's Map of Kona Isle

We fell in love with Hawaii in the 1990's, when Delana worked part time nursing on Kauai. With vacation rentals so very expensive we felt forced to buy a little condo. It proved to be a wonderful decision!
In 2005 we decided that Kona would be a better place for us: it has the least rainfall in the state.
In purchasing, furnishing and decorating our Kona Isle condo, we wanted it to become a tranquil retreat, with as many of the comforts of home as was possible.
We seem to have arrived at the right combination, we have had some guests return three and four times!
Mahalo, Rod and Delana

    • This was our 3rd trip to the Big Island. The first 2 times we did the "resort thing", nice but it left a cold feeling. This condo became our home away from home and it could not have been nicer.

    • The Sword's made the entire booking experience stress free for me. I did not have to do any research on Kona or the Big Island as Rod and Delana provided me with all the information we needed. It saved us allot of time and helped us to make the most of our time in Kona. Loved your well equipped condo, the location and the lovely grounds of the Kona Isle. The heated pool is GREAT!!! Love your nature sound machine in the bedroom it lulled us to sleep every night. The sunsets are so. so. pretty. Thanks for caring so much that we have a great vacation.

    • Comment Text: Many thanks to the Swords for providing a great place to stay. Their condo is very well maintained and extremely clean. Anything we could have thought of needing, was provided in the unit. The bed was extremely comfortable. Lots of towels and sheets available. Great to have a quality washer and dryer right in the condo. The grounds are nicely manicured. It was so wonderful to sit on the lanai and look down to the grounds to the ocean. If you are faced the opposite way, the Swords have put up a decorative mirror so that you won't miss the view. The pool and pool area is really clean and the chaise lounges to enjoy the sun, are first class. Air conditioning, fans and tropical breezes easily keep the unit to a comfortable temperature. We hardly had to use the air conditioner. The unit is far off the main road, so that traffic noise is not a problem at all!! Rod was so responsive in replying to all requests. Everything from the deposit arrangements, to the final payment,getting information was first class. I would highly recommend the Kona Isle, and in particular, Rod and Delana's unit!

    • Dear Rod & Delana I am writing to thankyou for allowing us the use of your wonderful unit at Kona Isle. Both myself & partner Jeannie had a wonderful time during the week we were there. One of the memorable experiences was most afternoons relaxing by the shoreline with a wine to watch the sun setting in the ocean. Our Ironman races went quite well. Jeannie managed a podium 3rd place in her age category. My race didnt go to plan as I had to deal with a painful hip injury. However, my backup plan was to just finish, which I did in 11.30hrs, just after sunset. We did find your information list very useful and did manage to visit several listed places. One again, thankyou for allowing us to experience Kona and the Big Island from your wonderfully located unit.

    • I have to agree that this condo must be one of the best values in Hawaii. Nicely furnished, very well equipped kitchen and beautiful location. We really enjoyed the pool and BBQ/beach area. Also, I was able to get a good Wi-Fi connection to my laptop from inside the condo. I expect we'll want to stay here the next time we go to the big island.

    • Your place is wonderful. It was comfortable and very well appointed. We didn't want for anything. We had a lot of fun visiting with other guests and residents. It is a family place with alot of things to do - right on the property. The property management was friendly and knowledgable. We couldn't have had a better time. In fact we are on our way back again!!!! Mahalo, Kerry and Lee

    • Dear Rod & Delana, Thank you for sharing this very special oasis in paradise. Your thoughtfulness and attention to detail is abundant throughout the suite. Our two weeks in Kona and the Big Island were beyond wonderful . . . . .a true refuge that renewed our body, mind and spirit. A good friend's motto is "Count Only Sunny Days" - in two weeks we counted 14! It just doesn't get any better than this. We love your special place of true comfort and joy. We would highly recommend your accommodations and the Kona area for anyone who wishes to experience a taste of real paradise. Mahalo, Mahalo, Mahalo Anne & Brian Gray Ottawa, ON Canada

    • Dear Rod and Delana: Thank you for letting us use your delightful condo just before Christmas. We certainly found that you had the best equipped kitchen we have ever had, and we have been coming to Hawaii for 25 years!! We especially like the beach area, and were mesmerized by the beautiful surf. We realized how much we enjoyed being right on the water. The first day we spotted about 40 spinner dolphins and 2 whales. What a show! The other condo owners were friendly and welcoming. So this was a perfect holiday and we appreciated your place tremendously. John and Maureen Sechelt, BC Canada

    • We really enjoyed the past 16 days in your condo in Kona and have promissed ourselves to return next year about the same time. The art work is very tasteful and the furniture adds to that Aloha feeling. The reason we want to return to your place is primarily because of the ambiance of the space you created. I really enjoyed the yoga tapes and we loved the choice in music books and the movie "The gods must be crazy" is one of our favorites. We really appreciated access to the coolers and beach chairs and plastic containers for our lunches too. The sunsets from the condo grounds were great and for us the l mile walk to the "Kona strip" was just the right length to walk of dinner or drinks. Thanks from your new Condo Ohana Carolee and Jean-Philippe
