About this property

Top Floor Cozy Condo Nestled Among Tropical Kailua Kona Treetops

[June 2020: Due to pandemic concerns, we shut down operations April 1 - June 9; the island has "opened up" again, and we are again comfortable hosting Kona guests! Our cleaning person Dianna, best on the big island, is there to make sure our unit is extra clean!]
Tastefully designed and newly upgraded reflecting quality and comfort, this top floor cozy condo is nestled among the tropical treetops, with private lanai and peek-a-boo views of the ocean. My wife and I affectionately call our unit #322 the Kona Dove. It is, in our opinion, one of the more desirable units in the Kona Islander Inn complex; ours is a top-floor unit, away from the traffic noise of Alii drive and Kuakini Highway, but close enough to hear soothing surf sounds at night. Our west-and-south facing lanai has an extra-expansive and open view since our unit is also a corner unit. And my wife Therese is an artist and designer- we keep our unit lovely and clean inside!

Kona Islander Inn studio condo description

This newly upgraded, top floor end unit features:

• Interior artfully designed in hardwood and woven rattan “island style” furnishings, end table, large dresser, café table with two chairs, and an accent chair for additional seating.
• Tropical morning sun pours onto your lanai, where you can sip your smoothie and contemplate your day. We’ve added a new patio table, chairs and pull down sun-shade
• one comfy Queen-size bed.
• Fully equipped kitchenette with brand new microwave, mini refrigerator, coffee maker, blender, electric skillet, cutting boards, dishware, serve-ware and utensils.
• A quality 40” inch flat screen TV with remote and free cable. High speed internet available in reception/lobby area.
• Cozy upgraded bathroom with new modular shower and chrome fixtures with pocket door off of kitchen for privacy, hair dyer and extra towels.
• A lovely bedroom/living area with sliding glass doors that lead out to your private lanai.
• New air conditioner with remote control.
• Spectacular location in the heart of historic Kailua Kona Town, in close proximity to beaches, snorkeling, cafes, shopping, dining and farmer’s produce and artist’s market. Just a few steps through the garden to the pool/Jacuzzi area where there are two gas BBQ grills for your use.

I loved this place. Just what I was hoping for. The bonus was that from the Lanai we could see the water and the waves crashing from the unusually large swell. Really a lovely place.

This was a wonderful place for a couple to stay in Kona. Central to the downtown area and the apartment was well stocked for cooking needs. The pool and hot tub were an added bonus. We were impressed with the cleanliness, peaceful balcony for morning coffee, and the great communication with the host. We even were able to borrow chairs and a mini cooler for the day for the beach. Would stay here again!

This was a very pleasant place to stay. Nice and clean, laid out well and contained everything we needed for our stay.checkin and out was quick and easy. We had no trouble getting a parking spot, but noticed they are limited. Directions were included on where to park if on property parking was full so that was helpful. It was a great location.

We rented David’s very pleasant studio flat in the Kona Islander Inn for two nights on a brief visit to Big Island to take a volcano tour. The inn and the flat exuded old-world charm and the swimming pool was fun, but, realistically, you need to either hire a car or take a taxi (30 each way) to reach the inn from Kona Airport. The Kona area is quite touristy (in a good way) and the inn is well located for the seafront (with its restaurants and convenience shops). Recommended.

The condo was quite clean and comfortable. Enjoyed sitting out on the lanai before beginning our day of touristy travels or winding down after the long day. It would have been appreciated if some coffee was provided to cover our initial day of our stay as we have found at other rentals during this trip. We are two retired seniors on a 3 week getaway to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Although we were aware the condo was on the 3rd floor, it was not apparent that there was not an elevator. For the most part this was not an issue with the exception of our arrival/departure when it was a struggle to transport our luggage up and down the stairs. Feel this should be made evident. Overall we enjoyed the stay and found the location peaceful and very walkable. Highly Recommend.

Why they chose this property

Recommended years ago by a dear friend who lives in Kona, we immediately fell in love with this very special property - with its lush tropical gardens, Hawaiian-style charm, unbeatable oceanside location and value! We've been staying here exclusively for years as renters; now as new owners, we are excited to share it with others!

What makes this property unique

Top floor end unit; private lanai with peek-a-view views of the ocean; one comfy queen-size bed; newly renovated; 40' wall-mounted flat-screen TV with cable; peacefully situated within the bustling energy of downtown.
