Oceanfront Vacation Rental Kailua Kona

We stayed at this condo for four nights in May, and thoroughly loved our stay! The condo was clean, nicely decorated, and very well equipped with the things we needed or wanted. The weather was warm during our stay and there was a lot of ash in the air from the volcano eruption, so the air conditioners were very much appreciated. The view from the lanai was fantastic! We could have sat out there all day watching the waves crash onto the rock.

The master bedroom is spacious and nicely decorated. I agree with other reviewers that the bed is very firm, but that wasn't a problem for us. The second bedroom is fairly small. We had one adult in that room, which was fine, but it might have been a bit small for two adults. Two children would be fine, though.

The kitchen had everything we needed, other than a cookie sheet. It's possible we just didn't find it. Other than that, it was perfect - there were even various spices and condiments there to use! The gas grill was nice, too. We grilled and ate outside one night, which was very pleasant.

We spent a couple of days at various beaches during our stay. The cooler and chairs available at the condo for our use were much appreciated! There was even a supply of sunscreen and bug spray available!

The availability of parking right in front of the condo was nice and convenient. The parking spots are fairly small, so it would be best not to bring a gigantic car. We had a Nissan Murano, and it fit fine, but the other parking spot wasn't being used at the time, so that probably helped.

The owner of the property was very responsive, too. We didn't have any problems during our stay, but we did text to ask if we could have a later check-out on our last day as we had a morning tour scheduled and vacating by 11:00 would have been difficult. He was very accommodating and let us stay longer than we had requested!

Overall, this is a great condo that would be perfect for a couple, either alone or with kids.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo! The views are incredible - we could see fish right from the lanai! We spent lots of time out there just enjoying the sound of the waves.

The fact that it's only a 2 unit property makes for a great sense of privacy, and we loved that we could park just at the bottom of the stairs. The condo is also close to downtown Kona for easy trips in to town (by car) or about a 20 minute walk. We also highly recommend the lox sandwich on a "works" bagel from Green Flash Coffee (just a few buildings to the south of the condo).

The kitchen had everything we needed and we even got to keep up on our favorite show since HBO was available! We also really appreciated having beach chairs and a cooler to borrow for trips to the beach. The air conditioning felt amazing as it was overcast but still hot and humid for most of our stay.

The decor is beautiful - but if there was one little nit-pick, as larger/taller people we found the living room furniture uncomfortable - the cushions weren't enough to keep from feeling the hard wooden frame on the sofa and side chairs. If you're petite than might not be an issue for you. Definitely not a deal breaker though

Had a great week here... really enjoyed the sound of the sea right below the deck!

This beach house was a great find. Mark was a very responsive host to the few questions we had come up. The home is very clean, well stocked and has an amazing view of the ocean. Thank you for sharing your awesome place with us.

My husband and I stay at Kona Luana for a month every year, and every year it gets better and better. The location is perfect -- about a 7 minute walk from Honl's Beach and a 10 minute walk from downtown Kailua-Kona, and a few minutes drive from grocery stores, Keauhou, etc. There's dedicated parking at the foot of the stairs, which is really convenient (there are condos in Kona where the parking is quite a hike from the actual unit). Inside the home, the kitchen has absolutely everything you'll need, plus a full size gas grill outside. Every time we've ever thought, "Oh, I wonder if we have..." we look around the kitchen and find it! It's incredibly well equipped. Upstairs the two bedrooms/bathrooms are tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean; you really do feel like you're staying at a resort. The owner, Mark, is responsive to any questions or concerns, and his housekeepers are ready to assist at a moments notice if there's anything amiss.

If that was everything Kona Luana had to offer, it would be a bargain. But on top of everything, you also get one of the most amazing views anywhere along Ali'i Drive! You are right on the water, and the sound of the waves permeates the entire home. It is heavenly! We've see whales, dolphins, turtles, and even a manta ray from the lanais. You'll look at the photos here and think you know what to expect, but nothing prepares you for it. We stayed at many different condos in Kona before finding Kona Luana, and we can save you some time: THIS IS THE BEST!
